A glorious setting in the old harbour, with tables next to the water, and as others have said absence of taverna touts unlike its neighbours. Good grilled fish and fresh mussels - both expensive for what you get relative to other places in Crete. Children had souvlaki and spaghetti options and this is a child-friendly place (as are many in... More

Great restaurant in the old harbour. One of the best fishermans spaghetti in my life. We tryed octopus boiled in vinegar and grilled octopus - both were good and tasty. Mussels saganaki were great also, but the portion was not big according to other places. Nice Greek salad, and goog garlic bread. Go here for, octopus, mussels, fishermans spaghetti and... More

We were put off eating at most of the many tavernas around the harbour in Rethymnon but after reading Trip Adviser reviews of Zefyros we decided to run the gauntlet and find it. We are so pleased that we did having enjoyed a fantastic lunch in such an idyllic position. The fish and seafood were superb and the free aperitifs... More

We don't like the pushy restaurant vendors anywhere in the world so we made a point to stay away from the harbor restaurants where they are most aggressive. However we made an exception on the 1st night for Zefyros because of the reviews on TA & we wanted to start our vacation w/ fresh seafood & local wine. Our server... More

I had a wonderful lunch here, having the entire restaurant to myself (it was just before tourist season). I enjoyed a nice crisp white wine with a mix of fried sardines and calamari - perfectly cooked and seasoned. The proprietor came out and chatted for a bit and then offered me the obligatory dessert and several shots of raki.

The food is absolutely fabulous, the waiter one of the nicest I've ever met. Follow his recommendations! We went here three times in two weeks, and had a great experience every time.

An excellent service in one of most reputable fish restaurants in Rethymnon. You will not meet any "guest hunters" in the front of restaurant - they don´t need it. Prices are very reasonable, cheaper then in other restaurants in surroundings. I can recommend the house white wine too. Food tips: fresh fishes, mussels in wine sauce, octopus, dakos salad.

Considering that this restaurant is in a prime location on the Venetian Harbour, the cost of our meal compared very favourably with other restaurants that we visited. The waiter was extremely helpful but not pushy. My wife had the sardines & then the bream and I had octopus followed by sole stuffed with shrimps, both of which were excellent. The... More
