Info
Nascosto vicino al tranquillo villaggio di Alyfada, sulla costa settentrionale di Lesbo, Yianni’s Place offre quel tipo di ospitalità senza fretta che definisce il meglio della ristorazione delle isole greche. Questo ristorante locale invita i visitatori a rallentare e a vivere la genuina accoglienza della tradizione culinaria di Lesbo, dove i pasti non sono faccende sbrigative ma piacevoli momenti di convivialità costruiti attorno a ingredienti freschi, buona compagnia e ai ritmi della vita di villaggio. Gli ospiti possono aspettarsi la cucina schietta e appagante in cui la regione egea eccelle – pesce e carne alla griglia, verdure di stagione, olio d’oliva prodotto localmente e l’inconfondibile ouzo di Lesbo, per la cui produzione l’isola è giustamente famosa. La posizione vicino ad Alyfada lo colloca in una parte di Lesbo che resta piacevolmente fuori dai sentieri turistici battuti, rendendo una sosta qui una vera scoperta piuttosto che una tappa programmata. Per i viaggiatori che esplorano la parte settentrionale dell’isola, Yianni’s Place è un gradito punto d’appoggio – un posto dove ricaricarsi dopo una mattinata in spiaggia o un viaggio attraverso le colline ricoperte di ulivi dell’interno. La combinazione di cibo semplice e ben preparato, un’atmosfera rilassata e il fascino tranquillo di questo angolo di Lesbo ne fanno un luogo che rimane nella memoria molto dopo che i piatti sono stati sparecchiati.
Prima di partire
Cosa aspettarsi
Il ritmo qui è volutamente lento — ci si aspettano pasti lunghi e conviviali attorno a pesce e carni alla griglia, verdure di stagione condite con olio d'oliva locale. Un bicchiere di ouzo di Lesbo arriva a suo tempo, e l'ambiente ha il calore genuino di un locale di quartiere frequentato dai residenti.
Periodo migliore
Dalla tarda primavera all'inizio dell'autunno è il periodo ideale per questa taverna; luglio e agosto sono vivaci ma caldi, quindi si preferisce cenare la sera.
Come arrivare
Yianni's Place si trova a pochi minuti a piedi dal porto centrale di Mitilene — abbastanza vicino da raggiungerlo a piedi dalla maggior parte degli alloggi in centro città.

The appetizers and seafood were fantastic.

We came for dinner. The shrimp was pretty good, however it was the only good part of the meal. The appetizers/mezes were not bad, however the real problem was the calamari. We picked grilled, and the insides were not cleaned at all. The service wasn't bad, but when asked about the calamari, the waiter said that it was "caviar". I don't think i have to explain how outrageous this is. This is the entrails and insides of calamari and is normally cleaned out, not eaten. I definitely do not recommend. There are lots of better places to dine in the city and in the near vicinity. They really ought to work on their PR. Also it was absurdly expensive for the mediocre service we recieved and they forced us to pay cash only, saying their POS malfunctioned. Absolutely horrible.

Yianni’s is an authentic greek restaurant, the menu is only in greek and you eat based on what Yiannis recomend to you. We receive some good recomandation of one of the best fish restaurants in Mytilene. The fish was amazing but the whole experience is a bit strange.

One of the most beautiful spots of Mytilene! Well cooked dishes and well grilled fish served on a beautiful traditional place. Amazing old photos inside the restaurant show a big part of the history not only of the restaurant but also of the island the past years. A really big variety of local "ouzo" distilleries make this place worth even more.

First of all there is no menu. You are ordering without knowing the prices which feels a little sus. Food is tho, really tasty and fresh but prices are high compared to nearby places. Service was fast until you got the food. Overall it was a pleasent experience.

What an experience it was coming here. First of all it's hidden in an ally second the owner makes you feel you are one with the place third the fish are fresh which makes any fish the best fish. Fantastic atmosphere filled with beautiful artwork and antiques all over the place. Definitely recommend if you are a seafood type of person.
