Amazing Greek food

This is definitely a place to visit when in Crete, specially if you would like to try some of Greece's typical dishes! I had an appetizer (which I don't recall the name but was really good!) and Moussaka as main course - absolutely delicious!
The team is also super friendly, which of course is a plus!
Definitely will be back.

Pros: The traditional food, The team, The environment

Gorgeous

Travelled from Platanias to Chania Town 3 times to eat at this delicious little cafe. Lovely staff amazing view of sea what more can you ask for. My husband who isn't vegan thought it was delicious 😋 as well.

Pros: The choice , The view, The staff

Perfect

Nice view of the sea, away from the busy and load areas of Chania. An oasis. Really nice and friendly staff as well. One of them made a paper frog for my three year old, and they even had good children chairs. I want to eat there every day for the rest of mye life. Tzatziki and pita bread was to die for. My son had the pasta of the day (ravioli), my partner had the redwine beefless beef casserole and I had the moussaka. Everyone was happy with their choice. Portions were very filling and I could not finish the moussaka, so my partner had to step up and eat some of that too. We shared a baklava for dessert that came with heavy coconut cream. Also we got a chocolate cookie/cake with our coffee. We could barely walk afterwards :’-D

Pros: Amazing food , Friendly staff, Fantastic location

Best tsatsiki of the trip

Wholy vegan place, so you get a lot of options which is a big plus! Venue was nice but a little hot due to no fans in the outdoor area. Had the tsatsiki with pita bread, which was seriously life changing🙏 So good I could live solely on that.
The risotto verde was just okay, wasn't really that tasty to me. My friend had the moussaka and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Pros: Lot of options, Beautiful tsatsiki, Totally vegan

Cons: Very warm

Great menu, very fine food

Great options with local choice, Greek and Cretan food with a vegan twist. Most options play with vegetables instead of doing fake meat replacement Greek dishes (apart from the burger). Staff was super lovely and the terrace has a view on the sea.

Very good food

Trying to find something else than fries and meze we went here and were not disappointed. The croquet with the Korean style sauce as a starter was an intriguing combination. The moussaka was rich and savory, not bland like most vegetarian versions you get. The green rissotto was very well balanced and had a fine taste. Prices very reasonable. Highly recommended, would definitely like to come back to try the other dishes.

Holy smokes! It’s awesome!

This was the first truly great meal of my vacation. I think I let that drive me mad with power and ate way too much, but I couldn’t stop! Everything was fantastic, and I think what I appreciated most was being able to enjoy actual Greek food instead of just ordering food that was vegan while in Greece. I loved being able to eat foods from the local culture. I will be going back the next two nights of my vacation (my two other nights in Chania) and trying to make myself eat a more reasonable amount. Soooo good!

Pros: The food!, The view/atmosphere, The service

Best food we had in Crete, easily

We decided to come a 2nd time, which is unusual on a holiday! This time we had the potato cakes and Manchurian balls; then the chilli sin carne and the risotto. All delicious! Finished with the cheesecake. Definitely worth repeating.

Amazing food!

My boyfriend and I went to Pulse after a full day on the beach, so we were very hungry and ready to taste as much food as we could.
We had mushroom carpaccio and potato cakes, both of them tasty but we preferred mushrooms carpaccio as it was very fresh.
Then we had moussaka and no beef casserole. OOOOMG, super tasty and yummy!
As dessert we had carrot cake and berry cheesecake. What an amazing dinner, I would like to eat there once more before leaving

Pros: Very friendly atmosphere, Super tasty food

Delicious breakfast and lunch!

I had the omelet and it was the best I’ve ever had. Filled with spinach and tomatoes and with a side salad. Very tasty. I’ll probably go back before leaving Chania.
The location is also very pleasant; you can see the water to the right and a part of the ruins to the front.


Edit: came back the following day for lunch. Wow. The Korean triangles were my favorite by far. Follow by the green goddess dip with pita and the polenta triangles with pesto sauce.
What a wonderful meal at a lovely place.




The hummus I didn’t love as much.

Phenomenal!

We love Pulse! Me and my wife were in Chania for the day before catching a flight so we decided to pop in here for lunch. We were planning to go elsewhere for dinner but we loved it so much we came back here instead!

Pulse is a small cafe/restaurant near the waterfront with lots of outdoor seating. We were very excited to see the menu as it was filled with interesting and delicious-sounding dishes, and we weren’t disappointed!

On our lunch visit we went for Green Goddess Whipped Feta (with added Pita bread), Tricolour Potato Cakes, Greek Style Eatballs and Pulse Mushroom Special.

All the food was absolutely delicious! The Whipped Feta was deliciously creamy and indulgent. The potato cakes each had their own distinctive flavours, were lovely and rich and went so well with the delicious sweet chilli jam. The Eatballs were also excellent with a smokey, meaty flavour and crispy coating in a delicious tomato sauce. The Pulse Mushroom Special was also just excellent - a beautiful blend of flavours and I wish I’d ask how they cooked the mushrooms because the flavour was amazing! This dish was so good we had it again when we came back for dinner a few hours later!

We also had the Baklava for dessert and that was so good as well - moist and luxurious!

For our dinner trip we had the Pulse Mushroom Special again, along with Carrot Croquettes with Whipped Feta (an off-menu special), Crispy Korean Croquette Triangles and Risotto Verde. Again all the food was excellent!

We were given a complimentary dessert bite which had a lovely fudgey texture and strong chocolate orange flavour, really good! We also got the Berry Cheesecake which was also tasty.

Another thing I liked here was that we were given free water throughout both our visits whereas most other places we’ve been in Crete charged us.

This place is definitely worth a visit - the food is creative, interesting and absolutely delicious, and at just €6-11 per dish it’s also excellent value!

Pros: Delicious food, Creative dishes, Great value

Fantastic flavors!!!

We loved this place.... everything about it. Nice environment, willing friendly staff, kitchen mama even came out to check that we liked everything... wow!! great selection, interesting flavors, Non alcoholic beer, beer and wine. Very decent price and value. We have been there at least 6 times in our 2 weeks here:) I got to have vegan taziki and baklava (the best ever!!!!) in Greece. Being vegan I didn't think that would happen:)

Pros: great selection, wonderful staff, nice sea view and street action

Cons: nothing

Amazing Food & Variety

Since they serve breakfast, we went here 5 times during our stay in Chania. Can't recommend them enough. Everything we had was delicious, and there was so much variety on the menu. The crispy panko toast with korean potato salad was fantastic, we ended up getting it every single time we went. Staff was great and very friendly. You definitely need to check it out!

Pros: Excellent Food, Friendly Staff, Lots of Options
