The dining hall is housed on the first floor of the west wing of the Monastery, south of the tower, and is connected to the kitchen, which was built in the 16th century. It was moved to this location from the ground floor of the same wing, specifically from the area which is used today for storage. The hall was painted in 1749, according to a surviving inscription, by the hieromonks Serafeim, Cosmas and Ioannikos, artists who came from Giannena. The cost of the painting was paid by the monk Timotheos from Limnos, who is portrayed on the eastern wall as the donor.
In 1866, the western wall of the dining hall was rebuilt because it had collapsed. It was painted in 1980 by the monk Cyrillos of Pantocratoras, at the expense of the hieromonk Stephan (Kounios) from Limnos.
After the re-establishment of the cenobitic system in the Monastery, the dining hall and the old kitchen were renovated and put into service again in 1995.
