About us.
The Food Visionaries
We founded Nakara with the idea of bringing Crete's best ingredients and modernised recipes to the forefront of the island's emerging real food movement. We specialize in using farm fresh ingredients and old fashioned inspired techniques to create home cooked meals that are delicious, healthful and oh so satisfying.
With our experienced collegues in the European restaurant scene we can also host fine dining events for those who need a more elegant touch.
As private chefs, we can be hired to cater family meals and intimate events. We pool our resources to create awesome meals for small to medium size private and corporate events. Call us today to see what we can do for you.
