Ce qu'en disent les visiteurs
Delicious, fairly priced food and friendly staff! We had the gyros wrap, Spanish tortilla, freedom cake, and beetroot chocolate cake. All delicious and clearly homemade. Only here for a week but will definitely return.
incredible food, everything is homemade, fresh and likely a food experience you never had before! the people working there and especially the owner are very kind and attentive.
À propos
Food by AJ, également connu sous le nom de Lettuce Cafe, est un restaurant végétalien niché à Skala Eresou, le charmant village côtier de la côte sud-ouest de Lesbos. Dans ce lieu réputé pour son atmosphère détendue, ouverte d’esprit et ses longues journées au bord de la mer, ce restaurant végétalien propose une alternative bienvenue aux traditionnels mezzés et poissons grillés de l’île. Vous pourrez y déguster des plats frais, préparés avec soin, autour de légumes, légumineuses et ingrédients complets — le genre de nourriture qui fait du bien après une longue matinée passée sur la plage de galets et de sable de Skala Eresou.
Le café s’intègre naturellement au rythme paisible du village, attirant les voyageurs soucieux de leur santé, les visiteurs de longue durée et tous les curieux désireux de découvrir des interprétations végétales des saveurs méditerranéennes. Que vous vous arrêtiez pour un déjeuner nourrissant entre deux baignades, ou que vous vous attardiez autour d’un dîner léger tandis que le soleil disparaît derrière l’horizon égéen, Food by AJ apporte une sensibilité douce et consciente à la scène culinaire de Skala Eresou — un petit ajout significatif qui contribue à faire de ce coin de Lesbos un monde à part.
Avant de partir
À quoi s'attendre
Un café végétalien décontracté où la carte tourne autour des produits frais — bols colorés, plats à base de légumineuses et saveurs méditerranéennes revisitées sans viande ni poisson. L'ambiance est douce et sans pression, à l'image de Skala Eresou elle-même. On y croise des habitués de longue date, des voyageurs au long cours et des curieux en quête d'une table différente.
Quand y aller
Ouvert principalement pendant la saison estivale ; juin et septembre offrent un cadre agréable avec moins d'affluence qu'en août.
Comment s'y rendre
Skala Eresou se trouve sur la côte sud-ouest de Lesbos, à environ une heure et demie de route depuis Mytilène en passant par Kalloni. Le café est facilement accessible à pied depuis la plage.

I am not vegetarian but this was my favorite post breakfast caffè in Skala Eressos. Very tasty, fresh, healthy and well priced. If I had stayed longer (after trying a couple of the more traditional tavernas/fish restaurants) this would have become my daily canteen!! LOVED it!

I can’t even begin to describe AJ’s place! The quality of the food, the atmosphere and the service are nothing short of stunning. It felt like a home away from home but with way better food than my home and I do seriously try 😅🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️

I am not someone who follows a plant-based diet, but AJ’s food completely won me over. We ended up going there every single day for both lunch and dinner! I love how everything is so fresh and that she’s building it all from the ground up with care and passion. My absolute favourite is the protein burger with the mixed salads – and the best part? The salads change daily, so you are constantly discovering new favourites and flavours. Very big appreciation for everything AJ is doing – it’s truly inspiring and I look forward to come back more times.

A must visit restaurant for all who enjoy healthy and tasty food! All made with love and care with fresh ingredients. I am not a vegan myself but I was delighted! The sweets are amazing btw, both chocholate tart and bounty bars. The atmosphere is very friendly, the place itself cosy and colorful, prices very affordable. A hidden gem by all criteria!

One of the best places I've been to and the best vegan food I ever tried. The food is really, really incredible! All the ingredients are fresh and wonderfully cooked with a lot of love and knowledge. The house wine and local beers are awesome, the atmosphere is very friendly and service is outstanding! I go back there at any given chance and consider it my "special place". The prices are way too good for the quality you get. Amazing!
