Cretan Mediterranean
A set mezze menu with drinks folded in is the whole program at this Cretan Mediterranean restaurant in Cankurtaran, and the kitchen happens to live on the terrace. Summer puts you outside under the vines; bad weather sends you across the street to the sister spot, which is somehow even more romantically Mediterranean. The food leans fresh and generous, herb-heavy and well-seasoned, the kind of cooking that makes you forget you were supposed to pace yourself.
