Ce qu'en disent les visiteurs
The waiter was very kind and managed to find us a table for two even though we didn’t have a reservation. Most of the guests were locals. The portions were generous and perfect for sharing.
Having the Lesvos tavern experience in Athens - including the special seafood and a selection of Lesvos made Ouzo bottles. Reserve a table as the place is crowded most of time.
À propos
Une taverna-ouzeri est l'une des expériences gastronomiques les plus authentiques que la Grèce puisse offrir, et en découvrir une à Mytilène, la capitale animée de Lesbos, c'est pénétrer au cœur de la culture culinaire locale. Ces établissements conviviaux marient l'atmosphère détendue d'une taverne traditionnelle à l'esprit d'un ouzéri — un lieu où l'ouzo ou le tsipouro coule à flots, accompagné d'un défilé incessant de petites assiettes appelées mezedes. Attendez-vous à du poulpe mariné, des sardines grillées, une onctueuse taramosalata, et tout ce que la cuisine considère comme la prise du jour ou la récolte du moment.
Lesbos jouit d'un prestige particulier en matière d'ouzo, produisant quelques-unes des meilleures variétés de Grèce grâce à une tradition de distillation vieille de plusieurs siècles, et une visite dans un ouzéri local est la façon idéale d'en apprécier toute la richesse. Le rythme y est posé : les plats arrivent progressivement, la conversation s'attarde, et la frontière entre le déjeuner et l'après-midi se dissout agréablement. Situé dans Mytilène ou à ses alentours, cet endroit attire aussi bien les habitants que les visiteurs désireux de manger comme le font vraiment les insulaires — en communauté, au fil des saisons, et sans cérémonie. C'est exactement le genre d'endroit où un repas devient un souvenir.
Avant de partir
À quoi s'attendre
Dans un ouzeri de Mytilène, la table se remplit presque d'elle-même — de petites assiettes de poulpe mariné, de courgettes frites et de taramosalata arrivent au fil des verres d'ouzo, l'ambiance monte agréablement et ce que l'on vous sert a été pêché le matin même. Les habitués s'y installent sans compter les heures, et les nouveaux venus comprennent vite pourquoi.
Quand y aller
Ouvert toute l'année à Mytilène ; les soirées de mai à octobre offrent la meilleure atmosphère en terrasse, mais un déjeuner hivernal avec des locaux a une chaleur particulière.
Comment s'y rendre
L'établissement se trouve en plein cœur de Mytilène, à quelques minutes à pied du port ou des rues commerçantes du centre-ville.

Good service and very promising food! Did not meet what we expecting from an ouzeri! 23:30 almost kicked of from the restaurant due to the closure! Ok needs some more details!

A bit of walk from Omonia square to the local’s favorite place. Seafood was very fresh and prepared on order. Vegetables and fried selections were very fresh as well. Lively atmosphere and friendly staff. May have to wait to be seated during peak hours.

Excellent experience at Ouzeri Lesvos. A traditional and warm atmosphere — rustic and authentic, perfect for a genuine Greek experience. The fish was incredibly fresh and delicious, and the staff were both professional and extremely welcoming. I went there alone, and Paraskevas took great care of me all evening with kindness and professionalism. I’ll definitely be back!

We stumbled across this place and had the best meal of our Athens trip here - 10/10 recommend!! We had basically the whole menu and particularly loved the zucchini fritters, the dolmas, the prawn saganaki and the SEA BASS 👌👌👌👌

One of the best fish taverns in Athens. It's rather small with a limited number of tables so reservation is a must. Everything we ordered came well cooked, fresh and very tasty. We especially enjoyed Beskandritsa, calamari, mussels and tzatziki. The service was friendly and quick. A bit noisy though and without music. Prices are on the upper side but rather reasonable for a central restaurant.

Lesbos is a cool, quirky joint with good seafood. The service is fast, furious and generous. We ate fried Hake with a garlic mash, Fava Beans, roasted green peppers and bread. I ordered grilled octopus which unfortunately arrived a little over cooked. The only mis-step of the meal. Great fun!

My first Meal in Athens, it was so delicious The Prawn saganaki was incredible. It is a vibrant Greek dish featuring succulent prawns simmered in a rich tomato sauce infused with garlic, onions, and a kick of chilli.

We really didn’t like this restaurant. We don’t understand how it has such high ratings. The staff were very rude. We ordered tyrokafteri, but it had nothing to do with the real thing — it tasted strange, like it had been stored uncovered in the fridge and had absorbed other odors. We also ordered calamari — it was very tough, had no salt, and had a strong eggy taste, which was quite unpleasant. Out of all the fish listed on the menu, only three were actually available. If you don’t have the fish, why include them on the menu? Overall, it was terrible. I didn’t like it at all.
