Molyvos Stars Restaurant
Visitors say
Great ambiance. We ordered grilled octopus, stuffed zucchini flowers, Greek salad. All were great but the octopus was a bit burnt and elastic. The staff was very kind. @mahmutcinci_photographer
Come for the amazing views, stay for the fine seafood and wine. Iconic sunset location in Molyvos - doesn’t get any better. The grilled fish and octopus were amazing. Great bottle of Pinot Noir as well. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Our group had a fantastic evening. And don’t forget that view!
About
Iconic waterfront Greek restaurant celebrating fresh seafood and fine wines with spectacular Aegean sunset views. Offers outdoor seating with excellent grilled fish, octopus, and a great beer selection. Friendly, welcoming staff makes this an unforgettable dining experience in central Molyvos.
Before you go
What to expect
Sitting outside here as the sun drops into the Aegean, you watch the light turn the water gold while grilled fish and charred octopus arrive at the table. The mood is unhurried and convivial — locals and travellers share long evenings over carafes of wine and cold beer. Staff feel genuinely pleased to have you there, which makes the whole meal feel like an occasion rather than a transaction.
Best time to visit
May through October is ideal; come in June or September to avoid peak August crowds while still catching long warm evenings.
How to get there
Molyvos is roughly a one-hour drive north from Mytilene along the main coastal road. The restaurant sits on the waterfront in the centre of the village — park near the harbour and walk along the seafront.

It was truly an incredible experience! The mixed grill plate was the best I’ve ever had, perfectly cooked and seasoned meat with an amazing variety and perfect amount of tzatziki and salad. The service was warm and efficient, making the meal even more enjoyable. To top it all off, the breathtaking view made the whole evening unforgettable.

A Lovely Spot with a Fantastic View Molyvos Stars is tucked away in a charming little street up in the town, and it’s such a cozy, family-run place. A couple of sweet elderly ladies walk around taking orders, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. From the terrace there’s a stunning view over the sea—absolutely beautiful. At one point, one of the ladies poured me a draft Mythos, and it turned into all foam—which just added to the fun and good vibes. The whole place has a wonderful atmosphere, and you can clearly sense that many locals are regulars here. The food was fantastic, everything was spot-on. Definitely a place worth recommending!

It was my second time at Molivos Stars after 9 years and i can say that nothing has changed a bit! The food is still delicious, the view is still breath-taking and the whole experience really worths it! We ordered shrimp souvlaki & greek salad and calamari, everything was just perfect. I will be coming back for sure again.

This was the best restaurant experience I had this year (I’ve been to more than 4 different countries this year). Everything, especially seafood tasted really good. The view is amazing. You should try the peach juice. I believe this place is underrated. It is a good idea to call and reserve a table, that is how we could enjoy the great view.

Food is very delicious. Portions are big. They have a great view. I liked their house wine (white).

The food is average though, the sea view is by far the best. Especially if you go for dinner when the sun is setting, you will definitely not regret it. P.S. Advance reservation required.

Average “deliciousness” in Molyvos restaurants is very high.. I was in love with the food in this restaurant. Garlic shrimp was the king! I had better moussakka but it was not the worst as well. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant.

The food was okay, nothing exceptional, but the portions were definitely generous. The shrimp stood out as a highlight. The view is lovely. However, the staff's unfriendly demeanor was a bit disappointing.
