Symposium Restaurant
Eros for good Food & wine

Food first class. Staff professional and attentive. Try the fig starter (I know it’s not my go to either) exceptional. We will go back before the holiday is over.

This was definitely the best food experience in Platanias. The ambiance was great, the drinks were supernice, and the food was great! I had a "starter" which I guess should have been a shared one that was so big I almost had no place for main course. That greek salad and my veggie pasta was superb. My boyfriend decided on meat and he was super-pleased also

Went with whole family one night and were so impressed we went back the next night as a couple.Every aspect was superb, food, wine and especially service. The lady Maitre d front of house was welcoming and oversaw her staff with total professionalism, getting stuck in herself when (rarely)needed. From helping choose the wine to advice how our chosen steaks should be cooked based on the cuts, the service was impeccable.The food was excellent - the figs in prosciutto with feta sauce were ridiculously good..Almost feel bad about not visiting other restaurants but why would you when it’s this good.

We went to Symposium this , our last evening, and ordered salmon and bars, it was very well cooked and a delicious meal. Thank you

Best restaurant in Platania. Finally back for another visit after the Pandemic and notes that they are still of a high standard. A little ratty on the dessert side but when it's strawberry season, the best one will surely return.

Nice restaurant with fantastic atmosphere, great food, wine and very friendly staff. Would come again anytime. Can only recommend.

We ended up eating here twice during the week we stayed in Plantanias because the food was so good. If you have room for an appetizer they have the best garlic bread I ever tried.

Very good food and service! Spare ribs were the best ribs i have ever eaten and my boyfriend liked very much shrimp pasta and said it was the best restaurant dish ever!

We had an apperticer, dinner and a dessert. Apperticer was bruscetta and shrimps, a good warmup for a perfect night. The dinner was amazing. We had beef (white and black and red whine) and lamb shank. It was the best dinner experience here in Crete so far, and for dessert we had ice cream and coffeé with a really good atmosfare and a nice talk.Our waiter (Andreas) was really professionall, humble and nice to talk with.We had a 10/10 dinner here. Thank you!

Being new to Platanias we did not know where a good place to eat was. We asked the bar tender at the hotel where most of us were staying for a recommendation. Without hesitation he said Symposium. We did not have a reservation and when we arrived they could not accomodate a group of 6. My brother in law did not take no for an answer and pursuaded the hostess , Sandra, to seat us. She did get out of her way to accomodate us, which was great.The food that we ordered was excellent, the service very attentive and overall a great experience.
