Our Story

About Us

Since 1960

In 1960, Josef Lemoniadis opened a restaurant in front of the sea, with the aim to host all the visitors of Mount Athos and the few residents of the area.

His principle was to use always fresh fish of the fishermen in the village and pure vegetable which was selected by him. The rule of course was for all the ingredients to be fresh and of the best quality.

"From then on, things have changed — and the only thing that remained unaltered is the traditional and fine cuisine, having as a base the best ingredients that are cooked with the traditional way."

It is not accidental the fact that after half a century, Restaurant Lemoniadis dominates at the beach of Ouranoupolis and attracts Greek and foreign visitors, preserving the culture and tradition of another but still unique period.

The selection of each product that you see in the catalogue is truly unique. The great variety of wines of all kind may satisfy even the most demanding tasters, with labels tasted from all around Greece.

Bon appétit — we are waiting for your opinion.

Our Philosophy

Φ
Freshness First

We source our seafood daily from local fishermen and our produce from nearby farms — exactly as Josef Lemoniadis intended when he opened in 1960. Freshness is not a promise, it is our non-negotiable standard.

Π
Greek Tradition

Our recipes are rooted in generations of Greek culinary heritage. We adapt nothing for trends, compromise nothing for convenience. The traditional way is the only way.

Φ
Warm Hospitality

From the very first day, our doors were open to visitors of Mount Athos and the residents of Ouranoupolis alike. Every guest is a welcomed friend at our table.

Ouranoupoli, Chalkidiki

In the Heart of Ouranoupoli

We are located in Ouranoupoli 630 75, Chalkidiki — a village that marks the gateway to the sacred peninsula of Mount Athos. A place of extraordinary natural beauty, history, and tranquility.

Open every single day, from morning until well past midnight. No reservations required, though we recommend booking for larger groups or weekend evenings.
