A Gastronomic Adventure Awaits
Embark on a culinary adventure where every meal is a celebration of tradition and taste. At Casa Di Camomilla, we believe that to truly experience a place, one must eat like a local. And what better way to do so than by indulging in the rich tapestry of flavors that Chania has to offer?
The Essence of Cretan Dining
Dining in Crete is an art form, a communal experience steeped in history and infused with the soul of the Mediterranean. The Chania region, with its fertile soil and bountiful seas, serves as the perfect backdrop for an authentic Cretan feast.
From Farm to Table
Begin your day with a breakfast spread featuring dakos, a rustic barley rusk topped with juicy tomatoes, mizithra cheese, and a drizzle of golden olive oil. As the sun climbs higher, take a short trip to the local tavernas where the air is rich with the aroma of freshly baked bread and simmering pots of gamopilafo, a wedding rice dish cooked in rich meat broth and lemon.
Meze Magic
No Cretan meal is complete without a selection of meze. These small plates are a testament to the island’s love for variety and sharing. Sample dolmades, vine leaves stuffed with rice and herbs, or dive into a plate of kalitsounia, cheese-filled pastries that are a testament to the island’s cheese-making prowess.
A Feast for the Senses
As evening falls, Casa Di Camomilla invites you to its courtyard, where the air is perfumed with the scent of grilling meats and the sound of clinking glasses filled with raki, the local spirit. Here, under the canopy of stars, you’ll savor dishes like moussaka, a layered eggplant and meat casserole, and kleftiko, lamb slow-cooked to perfection.
Sweet Endings
End your day on a sweet note with loukoumades, honey-soaked dough balls sprinkled with cinnamon and nuts, or indulge in a slice of bougatsa, a creamy custard pie that’s a favorite among locals.
