"Where shall we eat tonight?" : open. opening soon, opening sometimes and gone for good!

With luck there will be live music, too!
With the strange pattern of potential clientele, table-spacing issues and other regulations it has not been easy for restaurateurs to decide when to re-open for the season. Greyrocks has now walked past all those in the village except the "outliers" of  Aposperida and Vrissali. 

Arriving on a Sunday evening we saw that most - but my no means all - of the long-standing tavernas and grill-houses were operating and had customers. We went to "The Brothers" - officially the "Family Grill"  to grab gyros, and got the flavour of how eating out was going to be,
This is one of the places that would be popular with the Chaniot day-trippers or overnighters, being cheap, large enough to take family groups and offering dishes with no surprises, so it has certainly been worth opening at weekends, and most have been open all evenings. We asked Adonis about business and he told us that the Family Grill stayed open until around 2 am on two consecutive weekend nights 

Here is the Greyrocks list of places to eat in the evening with indications of their genre and availability in these times! The red ones are our favourites! 

There have been other casualties in the "snack bar" sector: Anemos - a cosy bar in the centre with good music and popular desserts, and Papagalo on the Sandy side will not be opening,
