Rodies Cretan Restaurant
EUROPE
Village Heights Resort, Crete - GREECE
Like a step back in time, Rodies Restaurant offers a snapshot of a traditional Crete. Named after the abundance of pomegranate trees that take centre stage and grace its poolside courtyard, Rodies Cretan Restaurant, pays homage to Crete’s most time-honoured recipes via Chef’s Michalis Markakis authentic menu. Recipes showcasing the island’s rich culinary heritage and the distinct flavours of fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Their culinary team creates dishes with a focus on traditional Cretan recipes, local ingredients and fresh seasonal produce from local partnerships with farms and producers. In alignment with the Cretan diet, where greens and vegetables, wild herbs and olive oil are revered, dishes are suitably honest and simple. A range of high quality meats and fish are cooked ‘parastia’ style over an open fire or “antikristo” style, in the outdoor kitchen at Rodies which, true to authenticity, fully operates without the use of electricity, relying solely on an outdoor stone oven and grill to prepare dishes. Indigenous wines and the Phaea Olive Oil are also a significant element of the offering, further cementing the restaurant’s standing as the most authentically Cretan venue at Village Heights Resort.
