Lord Byron
Popular restaurant on a shady square in Chora's old town, open for nearly thirty years, with honey-rosemary lamb as its signature.
Opened in 1995 at the corner of a shady little square in the heart of Chora's old town, with a distinctive interior. The owner, Vasilis, runs the kitchen, while his wife Molly makes the desserts. Signature dishes include the Byron salad, a local mezze platter and Ios honey-rosemary lamb. There is also grilled fish, lamb chops, pita with dips and taramasalata, and the portions are generous. High season is very busy, so book ahead. Some longtime regulars feel standards have slipped and prices have risen, so opinions are divided.
