The heart behind the table

The Cretan Plate is a family-run experience in Chania, built around authentic Cretan cooking and the kind of hospitality the island is known for. We cook with seasonal, local ingredients and traditional recipes — much of it grown just steps from the table.

Stella and Silver are cousins, lifelong Cretans, and the heart behind it all. Raised on the traditions, flavours and generosity that define life here, we love sharing the Crete we know — the one most visitors never get to see.

Whether you join us for a hands-on cooking class or a private dinner at your villa, the goal is always the same: to welcome you to the table and share the way we eat, cook and gather in Crete.

Every meal is an invitation to slow down, share stories, and experience the island the way locals do. We look forward to welcoming you to our table.

— Silver & Stella, your hosts
