About Little Lemon

Little Lemon Restaurant

Our Story

Little Lemon was founded in 2010 by two friends, Mario and Adrian, who shared a passion for Mediterranean cuisine and a dream of creating a welcoming space where people could enjoy authentic, flavorful dishes in a relaxed atmosphere.

What began as a small café with just a few tables has grown into one of the city's most beloved dining destinations, known for our commitment to quality ingredients, traditional recipes with modern twists, and exceptional service.

Our Philosophy

At Little Lemon, we believe that food is more than just sustenance—it's a way to bring people together, to celebrate traditions, and to create memorable experiences. Our culinary philosophy is guided by three core principles:

  • Authenticity: We honor traditional Mediterranean cooking techniques and recipes passed down through generations.
  • Quality: We source the freshest, highest-quality ingredients, with a focus on local and seasonal produce whenever possible.
  • Innovation: While respecting tradition, we're not afraid to experiment and add our own creative touches to classic dishes.

Our Team

The heart of Little Lemon is our dedicated team of culinary professionals and service staff who work tirelessly to ensure every guest has an exceptional dining experience. Led by our head chef, David Chen, our kitchen team brings together diverse culinary backgrounds and a shared passion for Mediterranean flavors.
