1. Kafeneion O Ermis
$ | |This centuries-old landmark on the main thoroughfare between the old and new harbors dates back to Ottoman times, and is perhaps the best place in town to sip ouzo—you'll be sat beneath a vine-shaded terrace at a wizened set of table and chairs with plenty of old-world relics to eye over while you wait. A long list of mouth-watering and excellent value mezedes are on the menu, such as soutzoukakia, octopus in wine sauce, long-cooked chickpeas, baked aubergines, and homemade sausages, plus traditional desserts including halva.

2. O Hotzas
$ | |Family portraits and brass implements hang below a wood-beam ceiling at this spacious taverna that shows off its 19th-century origins. In addition to deep-fried dishes, there's reliably good seafood, and it's delicious with the homemade retsina or ouzo. For dessert order yogurt with homemade cherry or quince preserves.

3. Ammos Plaz

Grilled octopus, fried crispy fish, and other meat favorites are served in traditional Lesvos style as small plates to accompany ouzo. It's best to reserve in the busy summer months, when locals and returning visitors crowd in to enjoy the evening breeze and twinkling lights.

The beef fillet is tender, the lamb chops nicely spiced, and the salads enormous and fresh. This is also a lovely spot to enjoy a morning or afternoon coffee.

6. Kalderimi
$ | |An ever-popular ouzeri and grill on shady Thassou Street in the Old Town is an almost mandatory stop while shopping along adjoining Ermou Street. Fresh grilled baby calamari and lightly fried courgette flowers stuffed with cheese are among many enticing bites that accompany the generous selection of ouzo. Some evenings local musicians come and play rembetiko (Greek folk music), which makes the ouzo taste even better.

- Rembetiko music some nights
- Zucchini flowers

7. Kalderimi Grillhouse
$ | |In the quaint village of Petra, this pretty garden restaurant set amid potted plants and vine-matted pergolas specializes in grilled meats including gyros and souvlaki, though it serves traditional Greek favorites, too, and a wide selection of local cheeses. Family-owned with all the heart that goes with it, it's a popular spot for the locals who sit down to chit-chat over coffee throughout the day.

8. Maritsa
$ | |A regular Pythagorio clientele frequents this simple fish taverna in a garden courtyard on a quiet, tree-lined side street. You might try the shrimp souvlaki or squid garnished with garlicky skordalia (a thick lemony sauce with pureed potatoes, vinegar, and parsley), though the kitchen also does justice to lamb on the spit.

9. Soulatso
$ | |The enormous anchor and octopi drying on a line outside are signs that you're in for some seriously good seafood. Tables set on a wooden deck are just a skipping-stone's throw from the break of the waves. Owner Sarandos Tzinieris serves, and his mother cooks. Fresh grilled squid is mellifluous, and the fish are carefully chosen every morning.
