    It's really a spot of color and deserves its highest rating over a range of 25-30 kilometers. There are not many types of food to choose from, but "they are all for everyone!". You really need to eat lamb (if you like that!), So I can say it was the tastiest ever eaten (tied at ate Lefkada). The fish do not know what it is, it was about 10-15 cm and it was very tasty, the meat a bit sweet. It was clearly better than anchois. And the "resistance piece" was the dessert ... melon and watermelon! The first time I rushed to the melon. Delicious! I was thinking I made a mistake that I ate it before the watermelon because it was sweet and fragrant. But I was scared in vain, because red watermelon was not fad as I thought, but the most tasty eaten ... and I am a great melon consuming! Consistently, slightly crispy (I know it sounds crazy!) (If it was vegetable I would say it was cooked aldente), cool and very very sweet. Madness! In conclusion, it is worth leaving the highway to eat here ... after visiting the museum !!!

    Stopped here after visiting the Pella archaeology site and museum. The ticket window cashier told us to try it. Excellent food (we cleared our plates - it was all delicious), great prices, friendly staff. Good parking on a side street and clean bathrooms. :-)

    We were really happy with the decision to have our late-lunch at „The Lemon“. After visiting the archeological museum in Pella, the lemon seemed to be a very nice choice. We tried some local wine, fried feta with honey, veal meatballs, greek salad and the dis of the day: Hunkar. We will definitely come back if we happen to be back in the region.

    Not much choice left from the menu, but since it is off season I gladly have little choice, but fresh food. And the food was really good and tasty, great tsatsiki and great Bifteki, but I found the portion a bit tiny. The fries where good, though. This is not always the case in Greece. Ordered dry red wine, got white wine that tasted rather like Retsina, which I am fine with, but it wasn't what I had ordered. The guy working here is very sympathetic and kind, but spends a bit too much time on his laptop for my liking, just a bit too easy going. Overall I find 4.8 a bit steep for this place. It is good, but not that good, not close to perfect.

    Fantastic experience. Delcious food. The beef in tomato souce with aubergines was excellent and so were the grilled shrimps. True family atmosphere and friendly service. With moderate prices. The best that greek kitchen can offer.

    There are two good reasons to visit Pella - one is the ancient history of the the Macedonian kingdom and the second is to eat lunch at The Lemon. Owner is very welcoming. Excellent good local food. Pleasant surroundings. Good deal!!

    A group of children from the town brought us here as we arrived hungry late into town. The restaurant was such a treat! Everything we ordered was delicious! The waiter was really friendly (and with perfect English). Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

    Found this place on Google maps and went in based on the good reviews. We were not disapppointed, staff is very kind and will have recommendations for you for sure! Mousaka and this Turkish dish with beef(cannot remember the name) were our winners. Also the greek salad, tzaziki and kefalotyri is a must. 10/10 would go in and eat there again:)

    The best food we tried in Greece! 5* for quality, service, food freshness, atmosphere. Eggplant with feta is unbelievably delicious!

  • 5/5 Alex P. 1 year ago on Google
    For the starter we take roasted peppers, €3, then for the main dish roast lamb from the pot with chips, €10, grilled sardines with chips, €6, and to drink a liter of wine for €6. Delicious food and nice service.

    The best traditional food which I’ve eaten in Greece. Very, very tasty. Musaca is really delicious. Great service, great experience.

    We came for a late lunch after visiting the archeological museum. We ordered 3 different dishes and we just couldn't decide which one was better, they were all excellent! What's more, the staff was very welcoming and super friendly. Next time in Pella, we'll definitely come for dinner here!

    Very nice place. After the busy Thessaloniki it was nice to be in a quiet and peacefull Tavern The Lemon in Pella. Outstanding food, cooked with love and full of flavour. I particularly enjoined the local wine. But everything was just great. Friendly staff!!!

  • 5/5 Vassilios M. 1 year ago on Google
    Definitely one of the best, if not the best, tavern with traditional Greek food I've ever been! Going to Pella without eating at "To Lemoni" you definitely going to miss out on a unique experience! Very good and friendly service, with very good food recommendations, super yummy dishes and fair prices. Moussaka and bifteki were delicious! Gemista (stuffed capsicum) and beef dish (see picture) were simply superb!

    Traditional taverna with cosy atmosphere and delicious food

  • 5/5 Nik K. 2 years ago on Google
    This may be one of the BEST experience I had with food in a restaurant. We chose to eat here mainly due to the 4.8 rating. The service is very good and people are extremely kind, very informative on what you can eat how it is cooked etc... but then our order arrived... Oh the food - the taste and the smell. Starting with salad (Fantasia) - fresh, very well balanced taste, nothing was over or less - simply perfect! Main dishes of beef and pork tenderloin also amazing combination of taste, looks and amount. Red wine also very smooth and fit with the food. Desert was a local sweet (Ravani) that tasted amazing. One of the best restaurants I have dined in for some time! I wish I could add 6 starts or more

    In Pella you not only have the archaeological site and wonderful museum on Alexander’s birthplace but a restaurant that satisfies all your expectations after a Culturel day with historic highlights.5 stars to The Lemon.Maja Lisa Engelhardt and Peter Brandes from Denmark.

  • 5/5 Stamatis A. 2 years ago on Google
    This has by far been the most pleasant experience with traditional Greek food I have ever had. To begin with we received a warm welcome and the service was very fast considering we arrived during a rush hour and the place was full. Our appetisers arrived very fast and were all very flavourful. These included but were not limited to french fries, grilled mushrooms, tzatziki and fava to name a few. The main courses consisted of grilled meats which were cooked exactly the way we asked and to add to that there was a full desert free of charge. The owners are very friendly and helpful after our meal and gave us information on the most interesting sights of the area and even offered their place to stay for the night. I would definitely recommend the restaurant to whoever wants to have an authentic Greek food experience. I loved the grilled meatballs or the creamy chicken stir fry. Both were fantastic.

    Local, fresh and home-made food: very tasty! Alexandros and his family offer a rapid, accurated and friendly service. The relation quality-price is incredible!! Definitely you should come.
