O Antonis
An institution with the locals, this simple ouzerie is 2km from the town centre, on a breezy hill top offering sublime views of the sea and Mytilini town. Try the koutavakia (fried baby shark), sardines and kolios (mackerel). O Antonis has only a few tables, and fills up on weekends and after 20:00.

Ouranos

Tempting mezedhes include kolokythoanthi (fried pumpkin flowers stuffed with rice), ladotyri mytilinis (the oil-drenched local cheese) and hefty servings of some of the most enormous calamari in the Mediterranean.

Stou Mihali

Everything is good; try the soutzoukakia (tomato-soaked beef rissoles), imam baïldi (roast eggplant) and Greek salad.

Try the simple yet exquisite tomato and mozzarella salad and tagliatelle amatriciana or tagliatelle alfredo with salmon. As expected, the wine list is deep; the Mexican offerings, however, remain somewhat of an unknown commodity.

However, aside from being an art lover, Diavlos owner Panayiotis Molyviatis crafts what might just be the most satisfying and nourishing mezedhes in all of Lesvos.
Local specialities include giouslemes (a crunchy cheese pie) and sfongatoa (a sort of oven-baked cake made of zucchini, egg, onion and cheese). Try also the Turkish-flavoured beef kebabs on pita bread with onions and yiaourtlou kebab (Greek yogurt). Music ranges from…
