Gourmet Food Crete >> The Lemon Tree Restaurant East Crete >> Lassithi Sitia Makrigialos

Welcome to The Lemon Tree, welcome to food heaven!
We are a beautiful small restaurant ideally situated for you in a mountain village in the East of Crete, in a delightful and peaceful setting for you to enjoy.


Every meal is a composition of colours, tastes and flavours.

The food was outstanding – something you would find in a Michelin Star restaurant at home.

Wonderful combination of flavours and beautiful presentation.

We offer you a real Gourmet experience – read some of our testimonials from our visitors book to have an idea of the pleasure that awaits you.

Come to us to view the mountains, eat food fit for kings under our pergola in the summer sun and sip fine wine.

It is not just food, it is a life time’s work; nothing is better than an empty plate and a view of another one coming up.

The food we serve is an ambition of love, creative mind workings, fusion, soul and distinctive processes of life. It drives the statement of personal success home and offers you an exceptional taste experience.

We are open throughout the summer and also on Sundays in the winter. We have no problems opening with short notice other times as we live here through the year. A call to let us know would be very helpful if you are planning on coming to us out of season.
