Bakaliko in Archanes
/
During our time with Made in Crete, we discovered a beautiful restaurant - Bakaliko in Archanes where we enjoyed a delightful Cretan luncheon. Owner George spoiled us with a 5 course degustation with matching Cretan wines.
The food was absolutely stunning - Grounded in Cretan flavours but executed with modern techniques, sophistication and elegance. Our favourites included the fava tart made with goat cream cheese, pepper spread and toasted cherry tomatoes. The dolmades were similarly delicious –beautiful bulgur wrapped vine leaves finished with lemon and mind tzatziki.
Other delights included the graviera saganaki which boasted a beautifully balanced flavour. For mains, the mustard and herb marinated pork chops were a show stopper – wonderfully tender and served atop creamy and perfectly seasoned mashed potatoes.
Dessert time at Bakaliko continued to please with the lemon tart. Think crumbly almond pastry filled with fresh lemon curd. Simply amazing. The wines were similarly delightful. We loved how George took us through the tasting notes for each wine and a bit about the history of each producer.
