    Food was incredible and a good selection from the grill. Service was outstanding, every need catered for, fantastic views on the beech front. We managed to dig there for sunset and it beautiful.

    I had researched a number of restaurants prior to my trip, that I thought would be a good fit to celebrate my sisters birthday. I was fortunate enough to find Buddha Beach Bar Abaton. To put it simply, the pictures do not do it enough justice- we were blown away! As this was a surprise dinner, I couldn’t have been happier. We were met with stunning views, and the best service from Eleni, that I have honestly experienced. We couldn’t have been happier. So much so, that we visited again the next evening. If you would like to draw your evening to a close, sat by the beach, next to a fire pit with drinks following outstanding food. Well, look no further than here, be prepared to be given the highest tier of service by Eleni and the team. Thank you for helping me make my sisters birthday one to remember.

    Très déçue par la carte et par la qualité des mets proposés, vraiment pas digne du Buddah bar: edamame trop cuits, sushis médiocres, gyozas pateux sans goût Service lent Prix exorbitant par rapport à la prestation Le seul point positif : joli cadre

    We had a lovely evening here while on our holiday to Crete. The food was 10/10, the cocktails were also lovely! The staff were so attentive and the value for money was great considering back in London you would pay double what we paid for the same food and service. The sunset was also beautiful, i’d definitely recommend booking a table for this specifically!

    View and service was fantastic. However, the sushi was very overpriced (70€, 20 pieces) and the quality was OK. Not even scallops or special fish, just salmon which isn’t even that special. We were with 3 paying €375,-. Cocktails about 18€ Which is expensive especially considering the prices in Greek. For us not another time. Shame because service and view was GREAT.

    We came there for their unbelievable sushis. We drive 30 minutes and finally arrives at the restaurant. When we sat down and watch at the menu. The waitress tells us that there is no sushi at all. That half of the menu is not available. Then she add that the beef was not available etccc and so on. Very disappointed we choose something else… the bao bun were correct. But not so fantastic. We had the strange feeling to be alone in this restaurant. We take the car and drive back 30 minutes. Definitely not worth the trip. If nothing is available in à Buddha bar just close it up for the season.

    Service was poor - asked for meat to be well done and came out raw, they took it back to cook further and we asked to warm up my partners food in meantime. The plates came back stone cold and they didn’t even cook the meat more for us and it looked exactly the same. We asked again, they took it and still stone cold. We went in off peak season and there were only 3 tables of guests and still the service poor. We refused to eat our food and pay 35 euros per meal for stone cold food with waiters who didn’t offer much care. Poor service and over priced average Luke warm food. Settings beautiful as on cliff front, probably the only thing going for the restaurant/bar. I’d avoid and go into restaurants slightly out of town instead if looking for an up market special meal when on holiday (one you know you won’t leave disappointed at)

    Such a beautiful setting with the sun going down and the evening gentle breeze picking up. We have eaten in the Abu Dhabi branch many times and Crete @ Abaton did not disappoint. The standard of food was very good especially the chicken salad. Sushi rolls had a new local twist which we liked. We booked again 2 days later because we liked it so much.
