Mirogdies

Mirogdies! Or 'aromas' in Greek. This restuarant was recommended to us by the lovely ladies at The Cretan Diet. Located in the heart of old town Rethymno, the majority of patrons were actually Cretan, not tourists; this quelled my suspicions. 

The adorable outdoor dining area complete with 3 person band.

Their menu was quaintly rife with translation errors. Allow me to point out:
- "handmade homemade". I love that stuff
-" fried pluck in small bites". It turned out to be some kind of offal
Page 2 of hilarious mistranslations (sorry for the bad photo):
- "burger giant half-half"
- paste days!

yogurt and beet dip, olives, peeled cucumber sticks, whole wheat bread, white wine

a beautifully assembled Greek salad with 2 kinds of cheese, and green pies, possibly my favorite thing on the island. 

traditional smoked pork dish

chicken and sauteed bell peppers in an extremely light cream sauce

some sort of lemon custard for dessert
