Women's Cooperative of Petra — Restaurant in Municipality of Western Lesvos

We found it through Google recommendations and comments. It is difficult to find a place without a reservation. The view is perfect especially at sunset. However, as someone who has eaten at many famous taverns on the Greek islands and the mainland, I did not like the food. The Greek salad was very mixed (pickles, peppers, capers etc.) The main ingredients were tomatoes and cucumbers, soft and tasteless. The cheese on top was a soft, tasteless feta. The grilled jumbo shrimp was delicious. The grilled octopus was one of the worst I have ever eaten. The stuffed zucchini flower was delicious but served hot like the main course.

Since we didn’t like the flavor in the shrimp and the overall selection was a bit weak, we left not feeling very full.

Still, overall, we left satisfied—mainly thanks to the service and the...

We were recommended to eat here by a few people so booked for our last night. We had an amazing table overlooking the bay. It is very deceptive as it looks quite small but has lots of outside tables amongst the flowers with a view of the church on the rock The restaurant was full & service was very slow. We sat for ages before we got menus, then again before someone came to take our order. People seated after us were served before us and it was just disorganised. The lady who served us was lovely and very friendly and the food was average at best although portions were big. We had the Kokinisto (not enough sauce) and moussaka, which we both said had something missing. Maybe they were just...
