Cosa dicono i visitatori
Stopped for lunch. Had octopus and stuffed zucchini. They were very good. The view is priceless. Service was fast.
Me and my family were there as a big group, and all staff were so patient and caring, and so kind. We tried and loved many dishes, just sit and make an order anything you wish. You will like it
Info
Immersa nel tranquillo villaggio di Alyfada sulle pendici orientali di Lesbo, la Taverna O Dimos incarna quel tipo di ospitalità greca senza fretta e genuina che attira i visitatori sull'isola anno dopo anno. Come molte taverne a conduzione familiare che portano un nome di persona, O Dimos trasmette il calore di un luogo radicato nella sua comunità — un posto dove la gente del posto si riuniva per pasti semplici e ben preparati molto prima dell'arrivo dei turisti.
Aspettatevi le cose essenziali fatte per bene: carni alla griglia, insalate fresche condite con olio d'oliva locale, e quei mezedes che arrivano senza troppi clamori ma scompaiono in fretta. Il paesaggio circostante di Alyfada — dolci colline, uliveti sparsi e il ritmo tranquillo di un piccolo villaggio di Lesbo — offre uno sfondo naturale per un pranzo lungo e rilassato. La taverna rappresenta una pausa gradita dalla folla costiera, situata nell'interno più silenzioso dell'isola dove i ritmi della vita quotidiana sembrano davvero immutati.
Per i viaggiatori che esplorano i villaggi e la campagna del centro di Lesbo, O Dimos rappresenta esattamente il tipo di sosta che rende memorabile un viaggio — non per lo spettacolo, ma per una caraffa fredda di ouzo, un piatto di ciò che c'è di fresco quel giorno, e l'opportunità di sedersi tra la gente del posto e sentirsi, anche solo per un'ora, parte della vita di villaggio di quest'isola straordinaria.
Prima di partire
Cosa aspettarsi
Sedetevi a uno dei tavoli semplici e il ritmo cambia subito — una brocca fredda di ouzo, mezedes che arrivano senza cerimonie e spariscono in fretta, carni alla griglia profumate di brace. Gli uliveti che circondano Alyfada e la quiete del villaggio fanno sentire lontani dalla folla costiera, anche se il mare non è distante. È il tipo di posto in cui un pranzo veloce diventa silenziosamente due ore di tavola.
Periodo migliore
Dalla fine della primavera all'inizio dell'autunno è il periodo ideale; le lunghe serate estive si prestano particolarmente bene a un pasto lento e senza fretta.
Come arrivare
La taverna si trova nel quartiere di Alyfada, al margine orientale di Mitilene — a pochi minuti a piedi o in auto dal centro città.

We waited for 40 minutes. After 30 minutes they came and said that there was no left. They always brought the orders we wanted late and made us wait and gave the same orders to the tables that came after us. After seeing that we speak Turkish, I think they did this. It's really bad, after such good-intentioned friendly tradesmen, this is a complete disappointment, don't go!!!

You came at 4:30 a.m. on a day of celebration like this with so much work. Despite this, we welcomed you, made your table quickly and took your order. So because you told us you were in a hurry, we took dishes from other tables such as the burger and gave it to you to serve you as quickly as possible. Because 2 servings of french fries went first to another table and not to you, you called us out for not being professionals. Your nationality has nothing to do with my behavior, but your rudeness does.<br>We have Turkish friends and customers and they have never said anything like that about us. Your rudeness may be due to your haste to catch the ship, but the next time you will have to catch the ship it would be a better idea to go and have lunch earlier!

After visiting many restaurants on the island, I believe it's one of my favourite places in Mytilene. Parking on the street along the restaurants. The kitchen is on the other side of the road, therefore staff needs to cross the street a lot. Very friendly and efficient service. We've been served as we arrived with water and bread. Quickly after the order was taken. Food came after 10-15 minutes. All the plates worthy. Planty and super tasty. I can recommend this place with all my heart 💖 What we've ordered: We had zucchini flowers fried 😋 My number one was stuffer wine leaves with rice 😋😋 Also other dishes: Greek salad, wild leaves, Mitillini cheese - we asked to be grilled and it was the best way to eat that cheese.
