Our story
A warm welcome since 2003.
An independent Crete taverna shaped by traditional cooking, fresh ingredients and the pleasure of bringing people together.
Southport’s Crete table
A taverna in spirit, not just in name.
Crete Greek Taverna is an intimate space inspired by the easy warmth of a traditional Crete dining room. Natural textures, deep blue details and friendly service create a place made for lingering.
Every dish begins with good ingredients and familiar recipes. From crisp calamari to slow-cooked Kleftiko, our menu is prepared freshly and generously for guests of every age.
Our chef
A lifelong love of the kitchen.
Our owner and Head Chef was born in Halkidiki, and has been cooking Crete food for longer than he remembers. He has a passion for fresh ingredients and a determination to bring authentic Crete taste to his restaurant.
