“Interesting Cretan regional dishes, enthusiastic waiting staff and a good vibe” are the salient features of this Fitzrovia two-year-old, named after the island’s 1905 revolution and claiming to be the first Cretan restaurant outside Greece.

This “interesting new Cretan” (named after Crete’s 1905 revolution) in Fitzrovia claims to be the first Cretan restaurant anywhere outside Greece, and presents the island’s distinctive version of eastern Mediterranean cuisine, along with natural wines from some of the world’s oldest wine-producing regions.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
