Yalos Food Drinks and More
Visitors say
Don't know why it's taken me so long to review this place. It's favourite place in Lesvos. Location and food great but what makes it are the staff. Just delightful. Especially the host, Xristos.
Great and friendly service! Big variety of food- big portions- And Andromache and her son are the „Stars“ of the Place
About
Yalos Food Drinks and More is a welcoming restaurant and bar situated near the seafront of Skala Eresou, a relaxed coastal village on the southwestern tip of Lesvos. The name "yalos" means shore or waterfront in Greek, hinting at the easy, sun-drenched character of this spot. Skala Eresou is best known for its long sandy beach and unhurried pace, and Yalos fits naturally into that spirit, offering a place to refuel and unwind after a morning in the water or an afternoon exploring the village.
The menu spans the kind of crowd-pleasing range you would hope for in a spot that calls itself "Food, Drinks and More" — expect Greek staples alongside lighter bites, cold drinks, and the kind of hospitality that keeps visitors lingering longer than planned. Whether you are stopping in for a midday meal, an afternoon coffee overlooking the sea, or an evening drink as the light fades over the Aegean, Yalos covers the full arc of a day on Lesvos. For travelers basing themselves in Skala Eresou, it makes for a reliable and convivial local fixture.
Before you go
What to expect
Yalos draws a relaxed mix of beach-goers, walkers, and locals who settle in for longer than they intended. Tables fill over cold drinks and Greek staples after a morning swim, and the mood shifts seamlessly from a lazy lunch to an evening drink as the Aegean light fades.
Best time to visit
Late May through September, when Skala Eresou's beach is at its best and waterfront evenings are warm enough to linger.
How to get there
Skala Eresou is roughly 90 minutes by car from Mytilene, heading west through the island's interior; once in the village, Yalos is easy to find near the seafront.

Such a lovely family restaurant. Very good value, big portions. We walked here from our hotel as we were bored of the hotel food. We had an omelette, eggs Benedict and a crepe to share (also huge) planning on bringing our kids back.

My favourite place to be, felt like home. This family run bar is simply exquisite and a must visit when you come to the island. The food is out of this world, cocktails simply irresistible, legendary prices and lovely staff is simply the cherry on top. Thank you for making my trip 🫶🥹

I have to correct below review I did before. They are cheating on taxes. Getting cash without giving any receipts. I asked for a receipt which is obligatory by law and he brought me an old wrinkled receipt. This is reportable to the authorities. We ordered crepe with egg and bacon. It was awful. It tasted like old coconut oil. It is still full of people. They do not care about the quality of the food. The coffee needs to improve. It was poor quality. The omelette was great. This is a beautiful place by the seaside with cheerful atmosphere and decorations. We had breakfast here. It took a very long time for the omelette to arrive but it was big and delicious, enough for 2 persons actually. The coffee tastes horrible. It's a nice and popular place all in all.

Absolutely amazing experience at Yalos! The food was incredibly fresh and expertly prepared—from the appetizers and salad to the entrées, pizza, and the baklava for dessert, every bite was delicious. Our whole party was thrilled with the variety and quality. The view is simply stunning, the perfect backdrop for a memorable meal. Chris provided outstanding service and made us feel truly welcome. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a wonderful afternoon. Highly recommend!

Best cold coffee in eressos! The only place I’ve found that has oat milk and it was sooo good. Came every morning to drink it here. For vegans- they have a great vegan omelette made from cheek pea flour and vegan cheese. The stuff is so kind and it makes all the difference. Really recommend!!!!

This is my favorite restaurant in lesvos! Incredible vegan options, including vegan eggs made from chickpea flour, a beautiful view, and owned by the most wonderful people. Their kindness made me feel at home on the island. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Gialos can offer visitors a great relaxing experience. There is a rich selection of coffees and breakfast dishes. I was very impressed by my freddo cappucino coffee. Excellent service.
