Ce qu'en disent les visiteurs

Simply honest and delicious food, even on a day outside the weekend and during the off-peak season. Really fresh and high-quality. The fact that I don't find it particularly cozy doesn't matter. Highly recommended.

The best restaurant in the area, hands-down. They make you feel right at home. Try their traditional Greek dishes, the Stifado and Giouvetsi are amazing.

À propos

Niché au cœur du village d'Eresos, l'un des coins les plus emblématiques de Lesbos et lieu de naissance légendaire de la poétesse antique Sappho, Mezen offre un refuge chaleureux aux voyageurs qui explorent les contrées plus paisibles du sud-ouest de l'île. Le restaurant s'inscrit dans la riche tradition des mezedes de la cuisine grecque, où le plaisir d'un repas ne réside pas dans un plat unique, mais dans le partage sans hâte de nombreuses petites assiettes — olives, fromages, légumes grillés et fruits de mer d'origine locale, qui reflètent les rythmes du garde-manger égéen. C'est le genre d'endroit où un déjeuner peut aisément se prolonger jusqu'en début de soirée, accompagné de vin local ou d'ouzo et des conversations spontanées d'un village qui attire depuis longtemps les esprits libres et les voyageurs curieux.

Eresos se trouve à courte distance à l'intérieur des terres, en retrait du long ruban de sable de Skala Eresou, et Mezen s'impose naturellement comme une halte avant ou après une journée à la plage, ou lors de la découverte des ruines byzantines et du musée des arts et traditions populaires du village. L'atmosphère y est résolument posée et authentique, façonnée par le caractère d'une communauté qui accorde autant de valeur à la bonne cuisine qu'à la bonne compagnie. Les visiteurs qui font le voyage jusqu'à ce coin reculé de Lesbos — et ce voyage en vaut la peine — trouveront en Mezen un lieu qui incarne le meilleur de l'hospitalité insulaire : une cuisine honnête, un accueil chaleureux et un cadre qui vous rappelle pourquoi vous êtes venu ici.

Avant de partir

À quoi s'attendre

Chez Mezen, les petites assiettes se succèdent — olives, légumes grillés, fromages locaux, fruits de mer — et le repas s'étire au rythme du village plutôt qu'à celui des aiguilles d'une montre. Eresos a une gravité particulière, avec ses ruelles pavées et une communauté qui a toujours attiré les esprits curieux, et cela se ressent à table.

Quand y aller

La fin du printemps jusqu'au début de l'automne est la période la plus agréable ; août est plus fréquenté, mais le village conserve son caractère posé.

Comment s'y rendre

Depuis Mytilène, comptez environ une heure de route vers l'ouest à travers l'intérieur de l'île pour rejoindre Eresos ; le restaurant se trouve en plein centre du village.

Food is lovely and very traditional, service is excellent especially the one with big belly and the one with the bigger belly, and of course the one who takes the money. It's a great atmosphere and very friendly, thanks for a great night again. We will be back.

We ate twice here in one week because the food was so good the first time round. Pictures attached are of the lamb ribs, Stifado (beef and onion stew), Giovetsi (beef tomato and pasta stew) and shrimps. Everything was really tasty and well done. The table bread was a bit stale and not the best. Service was good on our first visit but quite frantic on the second visit because it was so busy. For a really good meal here this is a great choice.

From the very first bite, this place won our hearts. We enjoyed perfectly cooked sea bass with fresh vegetables, a crisp and flavorful Greek salad, and beautifully roasted eggplants that melted in the mouth. Paired with a glass of local wine and a splash of ouzo 🌝, it turned into an unforgettable feast. The staff were not only professional but genuinely warm and attentive, making us feel truly welcome. A spot I’d recommend 100% to anyone wanting an authentic taste of the region.

In our opinion, easily the best restaurant in the village. The menu was a bit more inventive than the typical Greek restaurant and the food was excellent. We always sat outside on the terrace to enjoy the view and watch the world go by. Service was friendly and we had a complimentary mini Magnum type of ice cream for dessert. By our third visit they knew our drinks choices and that my husband would decline the ice cream! It’s right next to the church and the bell strikes every hour which always made us jump! It also gave us an excellent view of a wedding which was a bonus.
