Delicious food..included seafood banquet, meat platter plus oysters. Fantastic service & friendly staff. We are definitely returning with more friends to try out authentic Greek food. Opa opa!
Friendly, fun staff that treat you like family, great food at good prices. We tried the $59 p/p banquet and it was full of fresh dips and seafood (large prawns, two types of calamari, octopus, flounder), authentic Greek meats, scrumptious saganaki, Greek salad and desserts. You’re going to have to roll me home but everyone (there’s six of us) thinks it’s a fabulous place and wants to come back soon. Husband suggests not eating for a day before trying the banquet...I think he’s joking...maybe.
The best Greek tavern in Melbourne. Theo and his staff are sensational, l highly recommend you come for dinner ������
Excellent Greek food and fantastic service! For anyone looking for satisfying greek meal, this is 100% the place to go.

My first time at Lemnos last night and it was beautiful!
The service was attentive and the food was delicious. We had the banquet and there was no shortage of food for even the biggest appetite.
Thank you for a wonderful evening
Especially with its delicious food, friendly staff, excellent service and warm environment, best Greek Restaurant in town by far.
Good food, great service, highly recommend
Great food and atmosphere, and the staff are very welcoming and attentive. The yalatoboureko is the best I've had. Will definitely be coming back here.
Had dinner there with my BFF. The lamb souvlaki is fabulous. They boys are so friendly and welcoming. We loved it. We will be back!!
Great service beautiful food i would definatley recommend for everyone to go
Excellent traditional healthy greek cuisine. The best out of Greece!
Excellent food, great atmosphere, staff are fantastic. Such a good night out!
The hospitality was what you'd expect from your closest friends. The food was amazing. Fresh, bags of flavour and the ambience makes you forget about the world and enjoy your intense Greek food experience. Love this place
We came here on the off chance the original restaurant we were going to was closed
The ambience inside is very cozy, we ordered the saganaki which was lovely and the meat platter. This was more than enough for too and the meat was cooked well, some of the meat was a tad overcooked tho
A great night!
I attended a private function at Lemnos this week! It was a wonderful experience! Food just kept on flowing. Attention to detail, great customer interaction, and cosy surrounds! the staff were excellent, continuing to fill up water jugs and help with drinks. Their attitude was one of assistance and friendliness.The food quality was excellent and there was plenty for all. It was as if the restaurant was our home!

Simple Greek food cooked to perfection. If it’s a satisfying delicious meal your after that will have you rolling out the door, then look no further, Lemnos tavern is the place for you. All the dishes in the banquet we ordered were tasty, generous and of high quality. The staff were very warming and friendly, the service was attentive and the restaurant had a nice cosy feeling about it. All In all a very enjoyable night.
The saganaki was wonderful. We ordered both the meat and seafood platters. The whitebait was disappointing as it was pretty soggy but the calamari was good. Service friendly and helpful. Limited wine list but byo available.
Great night showcasing the latest wines from Greece. Food was outstanding!!! Definitely recommend with great service, nothing was a problem! 🍇🍷
Located on High Street in the upmarket Toorak Prahran precinct this Greek Tavern offers ambience, location, great food and good service.
Wine list modest and so is the menu but a limited menu comes with great food as the tavern concentrate on what best they make in a limited list than a long list with questionable taste.
We tried mixed dips, gyros, souvlaki, charcoal grilled prawns. Gyros was awesome with tender meat, King Sized prawns were just right, juicy and filling.
Ended the meal on Ek Mek tira madu and Port wine.
Revisit : Yes
This place is always busy and for good reason. Its consistently great in all respects.
Food, atmosphere, service, cleanliness and so on....
Would have to say, its a favorite.
As other have said, this is one of the better Greek restaurants in Melbourne. We visited mid week and it was a positive experience.
The cheaper banquet came with plenty of food, too much even. The restaurant was clean and the staff were super friendly. The food was nice and fresh but I don't see it being suitable for non meat eaters (Greek restaurants rarely are).
You definitely don't feel ripped off which is important these days.
What a great night we had. Food was beautiful, service was good and staff were friendly and hospitable. Definitely would go back . Value wise $$👍
Yes, the food here is How food should be. Food in any restaurant should be good and look good without saying. Portions may be a little out of control, but the guys in there, really do work hard. Great stuff guys.
A classic Greek restaurant with all the staples! The calamari and saganaki are particularly good. The calamari was beautiful and tender. The staff are really friendly too.
loses half a point because the mains courses are too big to be able to enjoy the deserts.
Have always enjoyed the food, and now ask the owner to give us what he thinks best on the day. Sometimes we get all fish, sometimes a mixture of grilled meats and fish. Never a complaint on quality
I can't count the number of ones we've been here and every single time it is amazing. Their dips, saga maki, greens, 2 person banquet, grilled fish, mussels.. I can keep going!! Soo yummy. Licences and BYO which is awesome also. Finishing off with a Greek coffee and some galactobouriko or baklava is the perfect way to complete your experience. Service is always spot on, and the value for money is unquestionable. One of my favourite places.
the staff here are the best - always lovely and usually pretty funny too - food is always bang on delightful!
also thier greek happy birthday song is the best - it will make your day
I think this place is a hidden gem! Absolutely delicious traditional Greek food, service was great and the set up is beautiful! There was even a belly dancer entertainer which was fun!
Great suburban Greek fare. Dips are always tasty and I loveeee their saganaki - always well cooked and never rubbery. Lots of fresh flavours, juicy flavoursome gyros and fish fillets are always delicious. Staff are really friendly too (special mention goes to Theo).
As a Greek and also a Prahran local, I have to say this is one of my favourite places. The food is always consistent, well made and is quite authentic. I have taken different people here and all have gone back at some stage.Added plus is that you can BYO. For all you people that forget this, there is a bottle shop directly across the road.
I have been to Lemnos Tavern twice now and the service and food where exceptional on both occasions. The venue is warm and inviting, the staff are friendly and helpful and the food cannot be faulted. The Tamara Dip, Grilled Calamari and Chicken Souvlaki are my top picks. I haven't experienced dining like this in a long time and will definitely be back again! Thanks Lemnos Tavern!!!
Lemnos is one of the better Greek restaurants we've been to around Melbourne. IMO the food here is just a touch better than the other Greek restaurants that makes you want to go back here again instead of trying a new one.

Dinner with the Family on a Busy Saturday night Queens Birthday Weekend. Staff work easy resetting our table as we were the second sitting and showed us threw after a few minutes. Kids are starving and I was wondering how long before we would get served since the place Busy that that I mentioned, our waitress came our table and introduced herself , a Copy of the wine list and asked if we wanted Melbourne's finest all some sparkling a bottled mineral water, a few seconds later our food whatever also come over table introduced himself as George told this of the daily specials and what was left that of course gave us menus. My wife been a season diner asked if we could have some dips not knowing how long the food would actually take to arrive, seeing how busy the place was. Dips that were ordered and it probably less then five minutes to come out which is a relief of the two Young ones about Mums Arms. We then had some calamari and some Beautiful chargrilled octopus and a fetta and red capsicum dish that was flaming on arrival. A beautiful French pinot, was ordered by me after the recommendation that I took from our drinks waitress I forget what the name was but it was cheap and went down easily so had another glass after I finish the bottle between the two of us. Mains where a traditional Greek gyros serving shipowner style and a delicious plater of Blue eye fillets with butter lemon sauce. We left deserts to be chosen by our waiter George, and along came to traditional Greek galaktopuriko as some fruit. As getting ready to leave some music starts playing and the belly dance comes out of the kitchen area and the kids went crazy. Calling in All great night Quick service, good honest food, I couldn't fault much Will be back take couple of friends because it's too the food is great, and it's less than a kilometre from our House.
Great evening. Lovely and friendly staff. The food was yummy and we loved the greek wine recommended by the waitress.
Great Greek Food. We came here last night and everything was perfect. Loved the saganaki, chicken skewers and biftekia. A terrific selection of Greek wines and George who worked there made our night.
Plenty of room if you have a pram and loved the Galaktoboureko to finish. An absolute bargain this restaurant as you get so much for what you pay for and the ambience is gorgeous.
Wonderful!!!!. My mum and I were greeted warmly by Theo who is an absolute doll! The food and service was fantastic and we will definitely be back! Our friend who joined us also loved the food. The meat platter for 3 was perfect.
Absolutely blown away!! So thankful for Theo and the staff at Lemnos taverna. I hosted my 30th birthday party here over the weekend and their hospitality didn't not go unnoticed . For a busy evening my party didn't feel un welcomed or no less important. The staff were attentive and polite. The food was superb and they was plenty of it. Even catering for a vegetarian guest extremely well! The entertainment in the Greek music and the belly dancer was great and kept me and my guests very happy and entertained. As a Greek I'm never too impressed with Greek tavernas but Lemnos blew my expectations out of the water. I had a fabulous evening as did my guests and I'll be back to dine here again. Opa!
Great Night... I went here with a friend her and her brothers family, BEST FOOD AND SERVICE... They kept bringing us warm bread and tzatziki (best tzatziki i've ever had!!) then we had the lamb chops, amazing, then the calamari, amazing, then scollops, amazing, then the saganaki, amazing, then the fish, also amazing! Can't fault this restaurant, then dessert... also amazing! Had a wonderfull time, and to top it off we all got a greek coffee. Really impressed, thank you Lemnos.
Love it ! Great every time.. Still eat here once a week or fortnight and never disappointed.
A firm favourite that is consistently good and Theo and his fantastic, loyal staff add to our visits here !
Been here a few times. Never been disappointed! Meat and calamari is amazing! Good customer service too! Highly recommend this place!
Love it. Lovely fresh food and friendly staff....highly recommend
Top notch!. Service was warm, funny, friendly and accommodating - food was incredible.
Don't miss the baby goat on Fridays - absolutely divine.
Try the Ratsina wine for something different.
It great, staff are lovely food is really fresh and succulent lamb, haven't been to Greece but, will alway make it my local Greek resterant.
Just had dinner with my GF overall experience was great, friendly staff nice clean food and fresh meat... Homemade dips w homemade bread hit the spot great work guys
Good atmosphere and friendly staff, food was just a little dry/overdone
Great food but always low on gyros which for a Greek restaurant is pretty silly, even when It's a week night and not very full, bit of a disappointment, service is good and the owner delightful. Byo which is great.
I felt like I was in mum's kitchen!!
The lamb melted in my mouth, and the tzatziki was brilliant , with just enough bite.
Service was quick and precise..
Definitely worth experiencing
Yasou!!!
Great Greek. This is a great suburban restaurant. Their fish is very fresh. Try the blue eye or snapper, nice smokey BBQ flavour. The Greek salad is great too. Not the best wine list. I keep going back to this one.
Great all rounder. The service was prompt and friendly, the food kept coming and was to a high standard. We were taken by a friend for a birthday and it did not disappoint. Each plate was tasty and good portion sizes. We would recommend to all.
Had a fantastic meal tonight.. Casual Monday night dining is what I'm about. Took my family in for a authentic Greek meal and we were not disappointed. Great people and great meal equals a great Monday night. Thanks and will defiantly be back.
You would think that with a large Greek population in Melbourne it would be easy to find great authentic Greek restaurants. Not so. Ask a Greek and they shrug and say "Mum's". Lemnos Tavern is better than most. Seafood is good. Few are better, but not too many. BYO too.
Great food & friendly staff. We shared the grilled Octopus and Scallops for appertisers, followed by whole baby Snapper and Blue Eye. Highly recommend all dishes that we tried. We'll be back.
Great food, great staff, very accommodating.
Great service, good value for money (particularly when you byo) and so close to home...stumbling distance in fact.
Fantastic food and service ... What more do you need... Nothing more to say .. Enjoy !
Lemnos is my favorite restaurant. I have been about half a dozen times now and they never disappoint. The banquet with the mixed grill is divine, all the meat is cooked to perfection. If I want a smaller meal I get the grilled chicken and a side Greek salad. The saganaki is the best I've had. Also, the traditional Greek deserts are delicious. The service is wonderful, they are all so friendly there. The place has a warm rustic feel to it. I've been to many Greek restaurants in Melbourne and I can say that this is the best. Highly recommended.
Had lovely meal from menu- not banquet- on a Tuesday evening. Dips are homemade and dolmades have unique dill flavor. Lamb chops are beautifully cooked and tender.. but it is springtime!! I've been going here, on and off, for 20 years and it's still authentic and quality.
Great Greek Food. We had the meat platter to share and although the quantity was impressive, I think there could have been some dips in there to balance the salty flavours of the meat. However, I was impressed by the service and the free dessert platter they throw in at the end. Would def go back!
Great night out!. Great seafood and meat platters! Lots to eat, great flavours and very good service. Had a great night out and was very reasonably priced.
Busy little restaurant, but they still made us feel very welcome! Excellent quality meals with great flavour. Can't beat the service.
Great food. The banquet for two is heeaaps of food. All fresh and delicious - lots of seafood. To top it off, the service is great. Made to feel very welcome.

After hearing so much about Lemnos, I thought I'd give it a go. I do love Greek food, and I've heard this is top notch. It's a big restaurant that can hold many. It's loud and a little hard to hear yourself think, but the food makes it worthwhile.
At first they couldn't find our booking, but found us a table anyway. They're not big tables, so when food came out, it was a tight fit. For entree I had the Tarama and their bread and while the Tarama was delicious, the bread was nothing startling. It's a dense bread, so it does fill you up. Everyone else enjoyed their entree too. The main dishes were all really good. Everything tasted great and all came out in good time and all together, which goes a long way with me.
It seems to be a very family orientated/run business, and you can tell they are quite authentic and know how to cook. I would definitely come back here again as there's a good size menu, so you can easily try different things each time you visit. I totally recommend coming here for good Greek food!
One of the best greek restaurant and at all!
An always great place to enjoy a full dinner experience: from the amazing and testy food to the most welcoming and warm environment. Highly recommend!
Every aspect of this beautiful authentic Greek restaurant was absolutely amazing.
From the service to the food to the experience all 5 star .
Food is fantastic. We had the banquet. Staff were extremly friendly and attentive. Food was delish. My mum is 84 and said it was the best calamari she has ever had. Big call!
Great food, great people. I go there for birthdays and any celebrations possible. One of the best greek food. I even eat the bread, which I don't normally do. I recommend the tzatziki, kafelotyri, chips, souvlaki and any seafood.
Lemnos Taverna has been my favourite restaurant for 20+ Years. The food and service have always been fantastic. If you want authentic Greek food at a very reasonable price then Lemnos Taverna is the place to go.
Warm, welcoming atmosphere. Incredibly yummy food. VERY healthy portions. At home feel. Good prices. Thank you team for the best 50th birthday celebration!! We all loved it!!🤤🥳
