Recommended by the "Griechishe Inseln Aegaeis" FALK Reisefuerer

ONAR is a real Greek restaurant where friends and clients enjoy a variety of tastes of the Greek cuisine which is based on a gastronomy that goes back in time more than 2,500 years.
Onar's cuisine is a combination of traditions and unique tastes of ingredients from the island and all over Greece.

Using the best and freshest products we offer to you traditional Lesvos island cooking; salads, dips (meze), main dishes and appetizers. Home made cookies and sweets are a must for accompanying our prime quality coffees. We also offer a variety of vegetarian dishes.
Please, do note that ingredients such us olive and olive oil, freshly baked bread, fruits, vegetables, dried nuts, sesame, honey and more are the the base for our cooking recipes.

Some of our clients, who keep visiting and love our restaurant, often ask Theano, the owner, to prepare for them dishes that aren't part of the Menu. Some others, mainly youngs, keep coming back asking for their favorite disk and it is not very seldom that Theano has to write down for them the recipe so that they can experiment their Greek cuisine cooking talents back home.

With selected wines from Lesvos, adjacent islands Lemnos and Samos and the rest of Greece, with lots of local ouzo (which apparently is the best there is) and tsipouro from Thessaly and Crete we claim to make you an ambassador of our culture, traditions and great hospitality.

ONAR is located in one of the nicest spots of Molivos (or Mithymna, North Aegean's most known resort, on Lesvos island); that is its picturesque harbour.
You'll find our restaurant in the end of it, in a renovated traditional a 2-storey house of stone and wood with a veranda of majestic views of the small fishing port and Molivos Bay.

In her childhood, Theano was very lucky to see and try, next to mum and grandma (experts of the Greek cuisine) incredible tastes and dishes prepared with love and care.
At the "katogi" (a cellar where ingredients were stored and food was prepared) she used to admire mum, grandma, the aunties and often more women from the village preparing food that had to match with the season of the year, the celebrations, the tradition, the land.
When she was playing with her friends she always liked to play the role of those women. Later she started helping them and then she made her first birthday cake alone.
When she got older she tried and appreciated different tastes from different cultures, from Europe, from Asia, from Africa.

Since 1999, when ONAR was opened, she does what she always liked to do.
To prepare beautiful dishes and share them with her friends and her guests.
