Places to Eat in Lesbos
When you come to Lesvos, you will not only enjoy the sea and the sun, but also the delicious flavors. The taverns, restaurants and cafes in the small villages, harbor towns or historic alleyways scattered all over the island will surprise you in terms of both taste and atmosphere. It is a tradition here to sit at a table right by the sea and slowly eat appetizers prepared with fresh seafood accompanied by ouzo. Especially if you come at sunset, everything is doubly beautiful with that view.
In the north of the island, The Captain's Table by the sea in Molyvos stands out with its fresh squid, grilled octopus and homemade mezes. If you're heading south to Plomari, don't miss Taverna Mouria for local delicacies like gummy Mytilene meatballs and Kalloni sardines. In the city center of Mytilene, restaurants like Kalderimi, which blends modern and traditional cuisine, are a favorite of locals and travelers alike. You can take a dessert break with a cold frappe in one of the cafes on the beach to relieve the tiredness of the day. Especially the desserts with marzipan or fig jam are worth trying.
