Lassu — Restaurant in Municipality of Rhodes

Edit: so good we went back a second time on our last night, tried a few other places in Lindos but none as good as Lassu.

The roof terrace is an amazing view and the service and food are fantastic.

We had octopus, Greek dumplings, lamb shank and seam bream with a bottle of wine and all came in at 100 Euros. Second visit we did it all again but added some hummus and bread and it was even better.

The waitresses were lovely and so friendly, explained the dishes and what we would like. They were really pleased to see us again and made us feel so welcome. Another couple arrived after us and they too had come back for a second time as it was the best restaurant they had found also!

A little hard to find on Google maps but really worth it - it’s actually the tallest roof terrace in Lindos (dispute others claiming so) and you are right under the acropolis. Head towards Christof and then past Dionysis, look out for Ambrosia and follow down, turn left and you’ll see the Captains House Bar, follow round and up the steps past Caesar MEZE and Lassu is on the right.

Definitely one to visit. I’d give it 10...

WASPS ATTACK ON THE TERRACE Unfortunately not a great experience in the end which is disappointing as the location and food is good. About halfway through eating my main meal two wasps descended on my plate and I couldn't get rid of them. I had to keep moving to avoid this and sat on a different area but they kept coming back for the food. The two waiters were sympathetic and tried to resolve the issue but what annoyed me was the waitress / young lady who did nothing to help and just stood watching me struggle to eat my food and fight against the wasps. Not only did she not even apologise she then had the nerve to tell me not to sit at another table when I moved to avoid the wasps!!! Shocking service from her. I ended up still paying the full bill. Maybe they thought because I was on my own, they were less inclined to care. I don't know. Nevertheless, it's disappointing. Anyway just avoid being served by this lady who didn't seem...

I’m lucky to have been to Lassu twice in the last week.

Staff are extremely friendly and are family! - and very nice to talk to and spend time with. They remember details between visits, and take the time to know the people they cook and serve food to. I enjoyed being with these wonderful people! The three cats who call the restaurant home (Tito, Mito and their momma) are also beautiful, friendly cats!

The food - it’s Lindos - it’s all great food. But Lassu stands tall even against the largest and most well known restaurants in the village. After 20 years of staying regularly in Lindos I can confirm that Lassu is a top meal. The best of my stay this year.

The view is unparalleled- the highest viewpoint, adjacent to the Acropolis and with a beautiful view over town and the sea.

Give it a go. If you only eat 1 meal here during your stay, this should be the...
