This restaurant, the Cave of the Dragon, has several billboards placed in Makrigialos and just outside. It lies just outside Lagada en route to Kalo Nero. We decided to go there and give it a test. It employs three people that serve the food in the restaurant, but when we sit down we are totally ignored, although it is at that time still very quiet. One of the waiters is talking to a few Greek guests and the rest of the waiters don't show their face. If after five minutes we think that we are invisible we go for a look in the kitchen to see if there is anyone who can bring us a menu. You can choose from a variety of appetizers, salads, grilled meats and fish. An unfriendly and humorless lady takes our order. The bread that is brought to the table is not fresh, but roasted and there's nothing done with it in the form of a little garlic and olive oil on it. The house wine is simple. The Dragon Cave salad includes red cabbage, white cabbage, apple, tomato and bacon. The saganaki (fried cheese) is dry, the tomatoes balls are good and so is the fish (Dorato) which is served with a small salad and a butter sauce. Afterwards no raki, no grapes or something sweet, like you will normally get all Greek restaurants if you ask for the bill. When we go away there's a crowded bus coming in with football fans on it. Not really a place for a cosy or romantic evening. Our verdict: commercial, all about the money and unfriendly service.

Very welcoming hosts! Amazing views, tasty food and lovely relaxed atmosphere. Well worth the drive out.

One of the best beaches I’ve been in whole Crete, with crystal clear waters, white sand and the best is that’s it’s a hidden paradise. The pathway to go down to it is rather steep and rocky, that’s why you won’t see many people there. Take your umbrella and water with you and avoid it when it’s windy.

Great views and a family taverna with traditional home grown food.

Amazing view with a lovely restaurant which serves amazing home cooked food. And if you love olives they grow their own and are incredibly good.

Nice remote place. Good to have something to eat. Nice food. Kids playground is available. Lot of parking space. Great view.

Food was nice and tasty, I don't know why the waitress seemed upset when we didn't want to sit close to other tables that were full, you know pandemic and all, eventually we insisted and we got a table that was distanced from the others. Other than that, everything was excellent

Super fast, smilling service, wonderful staka omelet, savory pasta with anthotyro, juicy lamb chops! Thank you Dragon gang! 😍😍

Nice place to eat and drink
