3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 April 2012

We had a seafood platter (A$61), finishing with baklava and tiramasu ($7 or so each). The platter had one prawn each, about 10 mussels, lots of whitebait, some calamari and whiting. It was pleasant as was the desserts. However I did not enjoy the extremely loud music with an accompanying belly dancer, nor the loud, recorded playing of 'Happy birthday'... More

We go here at least once a month and always love it. Always fresh and consistent. Excellent service. Atmosphere is buzzy as there are always lots of people - so the secret of this place is out. Great fish and salad or try the bbq octopus to start. You can BYO or buy beer and wine there. Prices are very... More

I must say, I was very impressed and somewhat suprised as to how tasty and authentic Lemnos's food was! Consdering the location of High street Armadale, I was expecting something fancy, with tiny servings and with a 'modern, Celebrity twist' and in turn found traditional, hearty Greek cuisine as it should be! The set up is Classic Greek, very family... More

I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant with a fireplace on the side. The food was really fresh and I will definitely go back to keep trying different dishes on the menu. The staff were really friendly and because this is not a really busy evening area, they definitely want to make your dining experience a good one.

As per the title, Lemnos would host my introduction to Greek food and it proved so good, so damned tasty, in a truly Greek atmosphere and architecture, that I can vow and declare I will continue to keep going back (I have been 4 times now). I have only recently tried another highly ranked Greek restaurant and I have to... More

I have tried many Greek restaurants in the area and must say that this is by fr the best on this side of the city. Beautiful restaurant and the food was excellent! Had the dips and meat platter. The meat was perfect and if I was to be picky I would advise them to use a more authentic Greek bread... More
