Nestled in the heart of the picturesque bay of Agia Pelagia, lies the stunning Galea Restaurant at Castello Infinity Suites. This culinary gem boasts some of the most breathtaking views, making it the perfect destination for a romantic dinner, a special occasion or just a delicious evening with friends.
Galea's menu is a delightful fusion of Mediterranean and international flavors, showcasing the best of local and seasonal produce. From fresh seafood to prime meats, every dish is prepared with care and attention to detail, resulting in an unforgettable dining experience.
Led by acclaimed chef Kostas Assargiotakis, Galea Restaurant offers a menu that celebrates the very best of Cretan and Mediterranean cuisine. The menu is constantly evolving to showcase the latest seasonal offerings, and diners can choose from a range of delectable options including à la carte breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as Mediterranean, degustation and healthy snack menus.
One of the standout features of Galea is its beautiful first-floor terrace, which offers stunning views of Agia Pelagia bay. With the warm Mediterranean breeze in your hair and the sound of the waves in the background, it's the perfect place to enjoy a romantic dinner or a relaxed lunch with friends. And with a dress code of smart casual, it's the ideal spot to dress up and enjoy a sophisticated dining experience.
But it's not just the stunning location that makes Galea so special. The restaurant's menu is a true delight, with every dish carefully crafted to bring out the best in the ingredients. From the wreath salad, which features pickled bulbs, tomatoes, pickled onions, vegetables, and feta cheese, to the arancino with spinach filling, every dish is a work of art.
One of the standout dishes is the shrimp ceviche, which features Crete's freshest shrimp cooked in a broth of village with tarama and avocado. The dish has an exuberance and a modern spirit that is perfectly balanced by the classic Cretan flavors. And the goat with sour fat is a perfect example of the chef's ability to create innovative dishes that celebrate the traditional flavors of the region.
Desserts at Galea are also a highlight, with the Basque cheesecake with handmade mizithra being a standout favorite. This velvety dessert is a must-try for anyone visiting the restaurant, and it's worth visiting Galea for this dish alone. To start your meal, we recommend the octopus carpaccio, an elegant and flavorful dish that perfectly showcases the quality and freshness of the ingredients. For the main course, the lobster linguine is a must-try, featuring succulent lobster meat perfectly paired with al dente pasta in a rich tomato sauce. For meat lovers, the grilled lamb chops are tender and juicy, complemented by a side of crispy roasted potatoes.
The attentive and friendly staff at Galea Restaurant are always on hand to help guide you through the menu, offer recommendations, and provide an exceptional level of service. The restaurant's elegant and refined ambiance, combined with its stunning views, creates an atmosphere that is truly one-of-a-kind.
