Refenes
Ziyaretçiler diyor ki
Our apart host recommended this place when we first came to Mytilini and the food, the view, the people…everything was amazing! The owners know both English and Turkish which is very helpful. My personal favourite was the octopus.
I had dinner at Refenes restaurant. Beautiful view of the sea, delicious food, fast service. All dishes were incredibly tasty! It gets very crowded after 7 p.m., so you would better make a table reservation.
Hakkında
Midilli'nin doğu kesimlerinde, sakin Alyfada köyünün yakınına sıkışmış olan Refenes, ana turist güzergahından sapıp merak peşine düşen gezginleri ödüllendiren türden mütevazı bir köy meyhanesidir. Adanın karakteristik manzarası olan zeytin bahçeleri ve taş duvarlı tarlalar arasında konumlanan bu mekan, adanın iç kesim köylerinin tarımsal geleneklerine dayanan gerçek bir Midilli ev yemeği deneyimi sunar.
Ziyaretçiler, Ege kırsal mutfağını tanımlayan sade ve doyurucu yemeklerle karşılaşacaktır: yavaş pişirilmiş etler, adanın ünlü zeytinyağıyla tatlandırılmış taze salatalar, bulunduğunda yerel balık çeşitleri ve soğuk bir sürahi ouzo ya da yerel şarapla mükemmel eşleşen mezeler. Atmosfer dingin ve acelesi olmayan bir yapıda olup turizmim dayatmalarından değil, köy yaşamının ritimlerinden şekillenmektedir; bu da burada bir yemeğin kolayca öğleden sonraya uzamasına zemin hazırlar.
Refenes'e uğramak yalnızca lezzetli bir öğünden ibaret değildir — bu, tanınmış plajların ve hareketli liman kasabalarının ötesinde kalan, Midilli'nin daha sakin ve özgün yüzünü keşfetme fırsatıdır. Alyfada çevresinin derin bir geleneksel karakteri vardır; burada bir masaya oturmak, ziyaretçileri yerel toplulukla ve adanın zengin mutfak mirasıyla, pek çok tatil köyü restoranının sağlayamayacağı bir samimiyetle buluşturur.
Gitmeden önce
Ne beklemeli
Sade ahşap masalar, yerel şarap testileri ve sürekli gelen meze tabakları — Refenes, turistik bir programdan çok mahalle lokanatasının sakin ritmiyle işliyor. Yemekler adanın kendi ürünlerine dayanıyor: yavaş pişirilmiş etler, Midilli zeytinyağıyla tatlandırılmış salatalar ve günün avına göre taze balık. Buradaki öğle yemeği kolayca bir akşama dönüşebilir.
En iyi zaman
Yılın büyük bölümünde açık; ilkbahar ve erken sonbahar, uzun bir yemek için en uygun havayı sunar.
Nasıl gidilir
Refenes, Midilli şehir merkezine bir kilometreden kısa yürüme mesafesinde yer alıyor; limandan veya çarşıdan sonra kolayca yürüyerek ulaşabilirsiniz.

The personnel lacks interest, and the cuisine is lackluster. I would like to warn everyone to refuse any of the foods they recommend that are not on the menu. They charged us 55 euros for three fish dishes that would have cost no more than 12-15 euros in total. Indeed on the other taberna's of Mytilini we did eat the same fish too much more cheaper.

Even natural rubber is less rubberish than the calamaris and octopus. May easily be the worst seafood experience i have ever had. Two stars is only because of the good tzaziki.

We ate here with our friends who are locals, and they recommended it. Food was indeed amazing!! And one of the best fish experiences I've had in a while - you could tell the fish was freshly caught! Since we were with locals, the waiters also chit chat with us and it was a very fun and enjoyable experience. We plan to go again tonight

Everything was great. Fried kalamari and red wine octopus should must try. And also thanks for good service to Nicos, Nicos jr. and Theodoris.

Atmosphere: serene, beautiful, comfortable, with the tasteful anroma and views of the Aegean Sea. The homes and buildings in the distance, seen from our seats, left a mosaic of colours in the black-blue water that I could not take my eyes off. Food: Lesvos is known for their seafood, and when I’d ordered the Smoked Mackerel, I expected it to be good. I did not however, expect it to be the best smoked mackerel I ever tasted. I will always remember it and instead of going to another restaurant, I’m going back there for my second dinner. I also ordered dolmades (stuffed vine leaves) and was delighted with the tart lemon cream on top. The rolls are smaller but come in approximately 11-12 pieces so you get to enjoy the vine leaf taste as well which is honestly my FAVOURITE part! I’ll miss this place when I leave. Service: Greeks have a term they use for ‘hospitality’, philoxenia, which translates to love of the unknown guest. Even when you order just a bit of food, their service here was incredibly warm, patient, and kind. They will never rush you the way it is in the Western countries. Note: they have the seating by the sea, and the kitchen is in a separate building across the street.

Old school tavern near the Castle of Mytilene. AMAZING food. Mouth drooling seafood and fair priced as well. Blazing fast service. Highly recommended!

Best seafood we had in Mytilini. The service is very good, very friendly people. Fresh seafood for a good price. In the end they just serve some fruits and this is just a perfect end for a lunch or dinner. The view is amazing.

There are 4 or five restaurants in this shore. I tried 3 of them an I can say that the best one is this one. Has a Seaside and it blows cool and nicely from the sea. Food are very delicious and plates are full. Please eat shrimp saganaki here it is extraordinary delicious. Prices are standart, for instance mythos beer is 4€ and small 250ml ouzo is 6€.
