Excellent food and service! The view from the terrace is amazing and the food was great, we ate here twice! Owners are lovely and so welcoming, the roof terrace bar view is great and serves great drinks. Fully recommend.

It's a really beautiful place to sit and watch the view. The food is amazing; it's a lot of food for what you pay. It's a little climb to make, but it's worth it.

About

Chat 'n Chill is a laid-back bar and grill located near Molyvos, one of Lesvos's most picturesque and historically rich villages, crowned by its imposing Byzantine castle and cascading stone houses. This kind of spot is a natural gathering place for travelers exploring the north of the island, offering a relaxed setting where good drinks and grilled food come together in an easy, sociable atmosphere.

Visitors stopping by Chat 'n Chill can expect the warmth of a neighborhood bar with the added draw of grilled food — ideal after a day spent wandering the cobbled lanes of Molyvos or swimming along the rocky coves of the northern coastline. Whether you're looking for a cold beer, a cocktail, or something more substantial to eat, the bar-and-grill format makes it a versatile stop at any hour of the evening.

What makes a place like Chat 'n Chill worth seeking out is the combination of good food, cold drinks, and the unhurried pace that defines island life in Lesvos. With Molyvos's harbor and castle as a backdrop, it offers the kind of casual but convivial experience that turns an evening on the island into a memory.

Before you go

What to expect

After a day wandering Molyvos's castle streets or cooling off in the northern coves, Chat 'n Chill is where travelers tend to reconvene — cold drinks in hand, plates of grilled food arriving, conversation flowing easily. The atmosphere is unhurried and genuinely sociable, the kind of bar where a quick stop turns into the highlight of the evening.

Best time to visit

Most enjoyable from June through September when the northern village scene is in full swing; July and August evenings fill up quickly, so arrive before sunset for a good spot.

How to get there

Mytilene to Molyvos is roughly an hour's drive along the main north road; Chat 'n Chill sits near the village and is easy to find once you're in Molyvos.

A nice place with beautiful view over the sea. Excellent food, value for money! But the best has yet to come: excellent service, very nice people. Excellent cook and waitress always with attention for customers, busy or not. Experienced people running a magnificent place. Upstairs also a bar with as well a balcony might you want a drink (or two;-) to end a wonderful evening.

First visited last year just for a few drinks in the upstairs bar, loved the vibe and the friendly atmosphere. The chap who works upstairs is very friendly and has a great sense of humour. We returned this year for a drink and then we walked past the restaurant in the day and could smell them preparing the dishes for opening that night…it was enough to convince to eat there. First tip: go there hungry because portions are huge. We had the guitar burger and ribs between 3 of us. The burger was the juiciest and tastiest we’d ever had. The ribs were out of this world - I don’t know what the sauce is, but they should bottle and sell it. The salad and fries that accompany each dish are divine and the dressings just set them off perfectly. Big slap on the back to the chef, your food is superb! The lady who serves downstairs is so friendly and welcoming, as is the chap who works upstairs in the bar - he said Dutch ribs are something else and he wasn’t wrong! Second tip: book a table to avoid disappointment, we were lucky and got in but it was very busy (last week of August). Cannot wait to return in July 2026.

I understand this is a family&friend run restaurant (and an amazing bar upstairs). The best ribs I’ve eaten so far in Lesbos. The chef is very friendly and polite. Greeted the children in our language. Visited the tables and asked how everything was. I’d highly recommend this place.

Excellent everything! My dinner was superb; the owners (I believe) were very accommodating and the view one of the best in the village.

The best ribs EVER!!! They are served with chips, dressed salad and two sauces that I hardly used as the ribs are already seasoned when cooked. Can honestly say they were sublime! Fell off the bone and the taste was superb! Highly recommended! We had the middle weight option and that was plenty! Fantastic views across the town and harbour. The restaurant is up a steep cobbled hill so for people with mobility issues I would recommend a taxi.

Thnx so much for the review Dawn, hope we see you again soon!

Chat n Chill opens at 7pm and I'd highly recommend getting there for an early sitting. The restaurant and upstairs bar are lovely with outstanding views across the harbour. All the staff were friendly, welcoming and happy to help. The ribs though.... this is where the real magic starts. Go for the premium 1kg portion, you will not be disappointed. Not only were these the best ribs on the island they were the best I've ever had. Special thanks to the chef for making a child friendly burger as well as the boss man and his sangria. 10/10.

Simply awesome, found this place on our last night. Small menu but focuses on ribs n chicken & they were to die for. We ordered 1kg of sweet ribs & half a chicken to share, took bout 40 mins to come but was well worth it, so so tasty & as for the amount, meals came with salad & home made chips too. We ate the lot & had meat sweats for an hr after. Complements to the chef.
