Traditional Sifnian Savouries
Restaurant Lebessis
Since 1968 at "Lebessis" restaurant of Artemon Hotel and under the vine of the cobbled yard, we offer to all guests traditional dishes from Sifnos and not only, always using organic products of our own production.
"Mastelo" lamb, caper salad, chickpea soup in wooden oven, string beans with garlic sauce, gingerbread (traditional pastry), are just some of our Sifnian dishes. Combine them with wine of our own production from the grapes of our vines.
Also, during the Easter season, you can taste all the traditional dishes made with an artistic feeling, with our own organic products. The Paschal menu of our restaurant is well-known and includes excellent magiritsa soup (made from lamp offal), the traditional "mastelo" lamb in the oven cooked in a clay utensil on vine-shoots, Sifnian xinomyzithra (local cheese), red eggs, salad, Sifnian wine and gingerbread, whilst all the other days of fasting we offer seafood and freshly prepared oil-based dishes, salads and appetizers of our own vegetables.

Sifnos is the best greek island for good food, and this Lempesis restaurant is the best in Sifno. Try the Imam - out of this world. The capersalad is amazing. Everything is traditionally done at its best. Oh, and if it is Sunday, ask for chickpea soup.

Ότι και να πούμε για αυτό το εστιατόριο είναι λίγο μπροστά σε όσα προσφέρει. Η νοστιμιά των πιάτων, η ποικιλία των γεύσεων, η εξυπηρέτηση του προσωπικού, όλα είναι ΑΨΟΓΑ. Δεν υπάρχει κάτι αρνητικό που μπορείς να βρεις σε ότι κι αν γευτείς. Κι από τιμές; Απόλυτα φυσιολογικές για τη σημερινή εποχή. Καθίσαμε στην αυλή του και φάγαμε παραδοσιακό μαστελο, και κόκορα κρασατο με μακαρόνια δικής του εκτροφής. Γεύσεις που θα τις θυμόμαστε πάντα! Εννοείται πως είμαστε τακτικοί πελάτες! Μια συμβουλή θα έδινα μόνο. Να έχετε κάνει κράτηση πριν το επισκεφτείτε, γιατί είναι πολύ δύσκολο να βρείτε αλλιώς τραπέζι.

This restaurant is top. There are many good places to eat in Sifnos but this one comes with the knowledge and fresh home ingredients of its owners, very high end, inpossible to replicate the dishes which are made with seasonal local products. We tried several dishes, even our kids who are difficult with food were asking for more. Superb place, highly recommended and super friendly owners.

Επισκέπτομαι τη Σίφνο αρκετά χρόνια, συνεπώς έχω γευτεί αρκετές νοστιμιές σε πολλά απο τα ταβερνάκια της. Δεν θα ήταν υπερβολή να πω πως την καλύτερη καπαροσαλάτα την φτιάχνουν στου Λεμπέση, και κάποιος που δεν την έχει δοκιμάσει θα ήταν καλύτερα να ξεκινήσει απο εκεί να τη γευτεί για πρώτη φορά. Να πω για τα κρεατικά; Για το μαστέλο; Για τον κόκορα; Κουζίνα ακρως αντιπροσωπευτική της Σίφνου! Εύγε!!!

This place was so good we went there twice during our stay. On both occasions the food was delicious and the service was great. The owner is very friendly and the atmosphere is what you hope for from a traditional restaurant. When we are back on Sifnos we head for Lempesis for sure. You have to try the lamb. It's delicious.

Excellent traditional food sourced from their local farm. Try anything the chef suggests you, he's really pushing for the best choices. Their lamp options are awesome the garlic spread is out tog this world. Best taverna experience so far on the island.

Φάγαμε δυο φορές στην ταβέρνα του Σταμάτη. Προσωπικά έφαγα τα καλύτερα και πιο νόστιμα γεμιστά που έχω φάει ποτέ. Να δοκιμάσετε οπωσδήποτε την καπαροσαλάτα. Επίσης καταπληκτικός ο πετεινός και γενικά όλα τα κρέατα όπως κουνέλι, αρνί κλπ είναι παραγωγής. Ο Σταμάτης και η γυναίκα του είναι καταπληκτικά παιδιά. Γνήσιες παραδοσιακές Σιφνέϊκες γεύσεις. Εδώ θα φας σπιτικό φαγητό σαν να είναι της μαμάς και της γιαγιάς. Τι να πω για τη ρεβιθάδα, τι να πω για τις τηγανητές πατάτες. Θα τους επισκεφτώ ξανά όταν βρεθώ και πάλι στο νησί.
