Álimos — Restaurant in Lemnos Municipality

Great food and view, but hair in the dishes

Sunday: We had a wonderful experience at this place on Sunday. The food was great, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. The view from the restaurant was absolutely breathtaking. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to return on Tuesday.

Tuesday: Unfortunately, our experience on Tuesday was not as pleasant. We ordered the tsatziki and found a hair in it. Although we sent it back, the staff apologized and promptly brought us a replacement. We understand that these things can happen, and we didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

However, our disappointment grew when we ordered the beef cheeks and discovered another hair in the dish. This time, I even found the hair in my mouth while eating. The staff was apologetic and pleaded with us to stay, but we lost our appetite and couldn't continue our meal.

As we were leaving, one of the waiters whispered to us that "the chef is problematic." It was disheartening to hear this. This situation has left us hesitant to visit the restaurant again in the future.

Despite the unfortunate experiences, we want to emphasize that the Sunday visit was enjoyable, and the people running the place were genuinely nice. We hope the management addresses the issue with the chef to ensure a better dining experience for everyone.

We didn’t comment on this inconsistency, but few minutes later they “discovered”...

When I saw the aquarium with an air pump to keep their lobsters and then the difficulty the boys experienced in catching one it hit a home run to the heart of an exile from Hong Kong: I was convinced that the lobsters (sorry guys!) were indeed very fresh (alive and bouncy!!).

The only thing remained was to convince the chef not to overcook it. The boy told us that the chef had worked in antiparos and many celebrities had eaten lobsters prepared by him. We chose grill; and indeed it was perfectly executed. The fantastic Mediterranean lobster with thin shell offers a lot of meat with good texture. It...
