A warm welcome since 2003.

An independent Crete taverna shaped by traditional cooking, fresh ingredients and the pleasure of bringing people together.

The warm dining room at Crete Greek Taverna

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.
