Acheron in Dresden

A tasty oasis in Dresden with really delicious food in generous portions complemented by impeccable service!!! Mrs. Fani congratulations!!!!

All very tasty. Staff very friendly. Always my pleasure.

Absolutely disappointing! The meal at this so-called Greek restaurant was a complete disaster. The fries were obviously frozen and served cold. A complete no-go! But that wasn't all. The lamb rump was a disgrace. Dry as a desert and tasteless. As if that wasn't bad enough, the waitress brought the wrong drink. I've never eaten such awful food or experienced such poor service. Save your money and find another restaurant. You'll only be disappointed here!

The best Greek restaurant in Dresden. Very fast and friendly service. My greetings to the chef.

Very tasty and beautiful, recommended.

Friendly even when stressed, food as I know it 😉 When I'm around the corner again at Motel one, I'll go there again. I was there in December 2024, unfortunately the food got worse. 😒

Great restaurant with very, very tasty food and great, very friendly staff.

Very tasty and really big portions, I couldn't finish it 😅 Everyone was nice and friendly, can recommend 👍

Food was very tasty! Staff is very friendly and attentive!!!

Everything was very good! Salad was great, prices are good too!

There were four of us with dinner reservations today. It was very tasty, all the service staff were very friendly and we felt very comfortable. We had several starters and left well satisfied. Highly recommended.

We waited a long time for the food and then only one came. We should have been given the information beforehand that a tour group was there, then we would have gone somewhere else. What annoyed me was the comment that the waiting time of 1 hour was normal. Any extra for the inconvenience? None.

Very good 👍 - my unreserved recommendation! Very pleasant & tidy (not over-decorated) place that invites you to linger for a longer period of time. Totally normal waiting time that it takes to freshly prepare the food. The service was very attentive.

Great restaurant with a beautiful courtyard

One of the best Greek restaurants in Dresden! Treat yourself to the baked cheese as an appetizer! The prices are fair, the service is friendly and attentive. The excellent red house wine, spicy and bitter but not too dry, can also be bought for home.

We went to the Acheron for the first time with friends. We were amazed at how many seats there were inside - plus the large outdoor area. All tables were occupied and the service staff had a lot to do with it, but were still always friendly to the guests. Because of the many guests, it was really loud and stuffy in the dining room, which was a shame. The food itself was beautifully prepared. One of our starters was forgotten. We then waited 1.5 hours for the main course - that's just too long. For us as vegetarians, the selection of dishes was manageable: a selection from the starters, salad (hardly any vegetarians in the restaurant order salad as a main course) or two pasta dishes, in which only the vegetables vary. So it was the pasta dishes. They were really well prepared, but they were just a little under-seasoned. At least the vegetarian dishes were labeled, great! :) There was ouzo at the beginning and end, thank you!

Great food, super nice staff, good prices

You have great service 😉 and you have great food, thank you for allowing us to visit this wonderful shop, it was so nice ☺️ we definitely recommend the shop and will come by again

Very nice restaurant, very tasty and the staff is very friendly. Price and performance are very good, portions are decent and authentic as you would imagine. Gladly again.

We were looking for a short-term opportunity to go out to eat in Dreden Neustadt for New Year's Eve. We were kindly given 2 places here. We found a very nice restaurant. What should be highlighted is the friendly service and the very good food. Thanks again!! Gladly again at any time!

I was very happy with my visit here! The food was really tasty and freshly prepared. I was particularly impressed by the selection of dishes. The service was friendly and quick. The atmosphere was pleasant, not too hectic, so it was easy to relax. A lovely restaurant that I would definitely recommend!

Very nice restaurant, service is great and food is great!!

The food tasted excellent, although there was a lot of garlic for me. The service was great, as expected on New Year's Eve there was a lot of activity. The ambience was only detracted by a somewhat unnecessary projector with Greek sea videos, otherwise everything was great. After the meal there was a free ouzo. Gladly again!

Very nice service, very tasty food but we couldn't manage the portions and a good price-performance ratio for Dresden

Very friendly staff, the food was rich and tasty. Price-performance very good. It was my first Boxing Day visit with 3 generations of family to this restaurant and it won't be the last. Thanks for the delicious lunch.

I have never eaten such a delicious gyro 🙏 we were in Dresden for the long weekend and were here twice. Price performance ratio is right. Staff super friendly. Absolutely recommended.

A Greek restaurant that doesn't have a single rice dish on the menu doesn't deserve its name. You can order tomato rice at the exorbitant price of €4.80. The burnt-tasting flatbread was accompanied by homeopathic quantities of tzatziki with a consistency similar to quark. Red wine lovers should stay away from house wine. I was there twice: the first and the last time!

Very good food with nice service

Went there spontaneously and there was a table available for 2 hours. The ambience is appealing, but the large rooms are still comfortable. Ordering went quickly and the food didn't take long to arrive. Due to a misunderstanding, the waitresses were initially rude...they noticed our displeasure and then everyone was very noticeably friendly. We were asked 4-5 times if everything was OK. The food was really very tasty. Tip: reserve in advance.

This Greek restaurant was chosen on a short trip to Dresden because the reviews were promising and we were not disappointed! The food is very tasty and fresh and really exceptional! The service was very accommodating and the employees are very nice. Gladly again!

Met 4 koppels gaan dineren. Super lekker eten en meer dan genoeg. Alleen zonde dat we nog aan de aperitief zaten, en dat ze met de hoofdschotel aankwamen. We hebben dan nog lang getrokken om te bestellen, en nog eens gezegd dat we geen haast hadden. Maar ze kwamen al veel te vroeg. Zonde dus geen wijn gedronken tijden het eten. Ze kwamen met een shotje vooraf, en na het eten nog eens een lekker Ouzo.Heel vriendelijke bediening. We waren hier goedkoop gesteld 220€ was de rekening, Dus dat viel wel mee.

Very nice Greek. Portions match the price-performance ratio. I find the drinks prices a tad too expensive. The taste was very good and I would come back at any time.

My wife and I came here for lunch, the staff was very friendly and the ambience was inviting. The place looks well maintained and toilets were very clean. My wife had the side dish as a main course and was very happy with it and I had the bifteki, which I also liked very much, but was a bit too much for me personally.

Food was great, rooms and tables were very tight, waiting time was a little longer with advance notice, but everything was still within limits! Price-performance ratio is definitely good, we would come back

I am very satisfied with the food (Olympia plate) and the service. Despite the high occupancy, drinks and food arrived quickly and the waiters were very attentive.

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, great service and good prices, what more could you want? 5 stars!

Very nice atmosphere, food was very good. Value for money even for two with a starter €55. Staff was very friendly. Sufficient amount of food.

Ate very comfortably in the cellar and ate well

Everything was great: great service, great food and nice atmosphere.......

Wir waren eine Gruppe, sonnabends, und das Restaurant rel. voll - was einen Wirt freuen sollte.... Der Empfang war mäßig freundlich, vor allem aber ließen der Chef und sein Frau (?) die ganze Zeit deutlich spüren, wie genervt sie sind. Das restliche Personal war nur wenig freundlicher. Die Speisen an sich waren in Ordnung, was Menge und Qualität betrifft. Fazit: Es gibt genügend andere Restaurants in Dresden!

The staff was friendly, but the food left a lot to be desired. Mushroom pan with too much spinach and just 4 mushrooms. Moussaka made from ready-made potatoes and chicken breast fillet definitely from the freezer and very cheaply processed. The worst Greek restaurant we have ever eaten at can really be avoided.

Very tasty food. Price-performance is top.

Simply the best restaurant in the city, run with love and passion.

Really very well eaten. Service also good

We recommend Large, very good portions

We went to Gut Glück on Saturday afternoon at 5 p.m. without a reservation and were offered a place without any problems, which was still reserved from 6:15 p.m. We ordered, ate in no time and were ready at 6pm without any stress. The food was delicious and well made. The restaurant is beautiful and the service is just nice and very personable. I can just say thank you.

Great food, large portions, prices were reasonably good.

A Greek restaurant. We think Greek cuisine is okay and decided to try it again. The starter was delicious, goat cheese in filo pastry with honey and sesame seeds, and garlic bread with tzaziki. We thought the portions were quite large. Furthermore, the food is all very basic and the harsh lighting does not make it very cozy. It was mainly production, that's how it felt to us. Nothing to the detriment of the people in the service, it just turned out not to be our place, this restaurant.

Really good restaurant. Great food. Innkeeper was great. Unfortunately I can't remember everything at the end because the innkeeper meant very well. It was a very nice evening in a great Greek restaurant.

Good Greek food. It was crowded on the Saturday night we were here, but the food was served quite quickly. The staff pays attention to empty glasses and will ask you if you need anything every once in a while. Pricing is fair.

Very quick and friendly service. Food was delicious.

haHaha, every time we visit Fanny and her family, we look forward to a fun evening. The family atmosphere and the delicious food leave nothing to be desired. We always have the feeling of being more than guests. Thank you for your hospitality and entertainment. Delicious, friendly, funny, simply recommended. Eating with friends in these turbulent times is the best thing there is. We always love coming home!!

A very great restaurant, very polite and accommodating. The food was very good.

Very nice and friendly staff, we were able to stay without an appointment. Food was very good, hot and came quickly. The salad was simple. Ambience very minimalist, no frills, I missed that a bit. Price/performance ratio very good.

Had a really lovely evening there It's worth going again

We've been to a lot of Greek places and unfortunately the Acheron was one of the more mediocre experiences. Visually, like most Greeks, absolutely fine. It was quite crowded and therefore incredibly loud. There were 10 of us sitting at a table, so it wasn't a huge table but it was impossible to communicate with the other end because it was so loud. Then we waited forever for our food (1.5 hours), which also means it was overcrowded. Maybe we should just fill a few tables less. The food itself was fine, nothing more, nothing less. So it's not a failure, but it's not a revelation either. ☺️

Nice looking restaurant and was excited to give it a shot. The appetizers were good, but all of the meats in the main dishes were dry and overcooked. We had the calamari and the goat cheese appetizers and the gyro plate and mixed grill. Well seasoned though.

Great food, always freshly and deliciously prepared. Service is great, very friendly. You feel very well looked after and like part of a big family! Absolute recommendation!

Good food and very friendly staff

Unfortunately we had to wait 1 1/2 hours for the food.

Saturday, September 21, 2024 - The fiasco First of all: We are regular customers of the Acheron for the 10th year! We had made a reservation for 6-8 people for 6:30 p.m., outdoor area in the atrium. It worked perfectly, when we entered the boss said that it was busy and that it might take a while to get the food. Actually no problem. So we go to the table, 7. Exuberant atmosphere, our household in tow, wonderful. After about 15 minutes we were able to order drinks, our waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed. She came back 10 minutes later with a tray filled with "Smurf water", a nasty blue-green stuff, instead of the usual ouzo. Upon request, I was given an ouzo 5 minutes later (note the chronicle). After another 5 minutes the drinks came (we are now at 35 minutes!). The order was taken at 7:05 p.m. 7 meals (including three dishes with alleged Metaxx sauce), 2 starters (tzatziki with bread). At 7:25 p.m. the salad was served for dinner... However, the cutlery was missing. The waitress only noticed this when we asked if we should eat with our fingers... So we wait for the two starters... and wait... and wait... and... then my wife got up and spoke to a waitress... it was now 7.40 p.m. when the two tzatziki were finally delivered... 35 minutes after ordering and upon request. Then nothing happens for a very long time. No questions asked if we would like any more drinks. No announcement when the food is coming... nothing. The guests change, all the tables around us, which were later reoccupied, received their food. A little surprised, my wife got up again and spoke to the boss. "I'm sorry, food will come soon, I promise" It's now 8:25 p.m., just under 2 hours after arriving! 10 minutes later, at 8:35 p.m., I tell the boss that we are leaving now. It is enough. "No, no, stay seated, food is coming now!" And then the food came... So, the first 4 plates/bowls... 2 meals were incomplete, a fourth was for someone completely different, fries were missing from 2 meals. Then came the other plates... except the one for my wife. She had to wait another 5 minutes. Old Swede, I'm used to a lot... 3 meals were lukewarm when delivered. The fries were missing from three meals. The lukewarm food went back and then arrived with my wife's food. The fries finally arrived too... oversalted and limp. And now about “quality”: The Metaxxas sauce was a tomato cream sauce. No sign of Metaxxas. The fries for the bin. The gyro was completely over-salted and over-seasoned. The potatoes on my mother-in-law's meal were rock hard. The food that was delivered again was partly burnt (Salamander sends its regards, you should be able to deal with that), the fried potatoes fluctuated between normal and over-seasoned, the ouzo was waste. Of course we got to the point. Again I just said “I’m sorry, I’ll bring drinks!” My wife and my mother-in-law took this as an invitation and were each given a wine. The boss then came twice more with a tray of the cheapest ouzo. Then we wanted the bill. We paid in 3 groups: 3 people: 94 euros 1 person: 40 euros 3 people 70 euros So 204 euros for poor quality, over 2 hours of waiting and the owners trying to excuse themselves by saying that it was very full. The question as to why all the tables around us received their food MUCH sooner and whether they might have forgotten about us was not answered. It was also unclear why the wine that was served appeared on the bill. Conclusion: The Acheron is generally considered the best Greek restaurant in Dresden. And we were regulars for almost 10 years. That has now been resolved. No decent restaurateur with honor would have fully charged for this farce! A bottomless impudence! No recommendation, avoid.

We were there with 5 people. Food was super delicious! Large portions and a wow price. There was a welcome aperitif and an ouzo after the meal. Perfect gastronomy with nice staff. 1*

A successful evening with good friends and tasty food. Nice family run Greek moments

Food is very tasty, waiting time is a little longer.

Found by chance. Great sitting in the courtyard. Very tasty food, rich and inexpensive. Also super friendly staff. 10 stars from us ********* I would go there again and again. That was in 2021, today I ate there again in 2024 and I'm thrilled. Very tasty food, large portion, good price and great friendly staff. 👍👍👍

Great food. Price/performance is right. Service very nice.

Simply awesome. Quick, very friendly staff. Food... impeccable... prices absolutely ok.

At the beginning a small welcome note. The food: Very tasty and plentiful. We shared 2 starters between the four of us. The main course still had to be done. Everyone should find something on the menu. Very friendly service. The inner courtyard with the "plant roof" is idyllic, that's what you want for your terrace - we heard it at our table - TRUE. Our little one got an ice cream on the house and the older ones got an ouzo on the house ALL IN ALL A SUCCESSFUL RESTAURANT VISIT

Food was very good. Price-performance is excellent. Staff is very friendly.

Here we had a delicious meal on a busy street and there was a table for us straight away without a reservation. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. As is the case everywhere, prices are not cheap, but not overpriced either.

Very nice restaurant outside the city center, definitely worth a visit. Friendly restaurant with an extensive menu, great taste and absolutely friendly and accommodating. Total tip!

Highly recommended Greek restaurant - despite the late evening time, we were served very friendly. There was a small aperitif and afterwards a Uso as a digestive. The lamb chops are recommended. However, you sit on the street which didn't bother us.

Very very tasty food and full portions for the price. I can only recommend the garlic potatoes. The service made you feel very comfortable in the restaurant.

Very good homelike food and nice service. Huge portions. It’s a quiet neighbourhood.

We came across the restaurant by chance and were not disappointed. Delicious, authentic food, good house wine and extremely friendly staff. A real recommendation!

Chose this Greek restaurant based on good reviews. Arrived there at 9pm and asked for a table. We were kindly advised that we shouldn't take so much time choosing something from the menu. As requested, we made a quick decision. Drinks came quickly. Salad was OK, but dressing like a ready-made product. The main courses were fine. When we had finished eating and were cleared away, we were asked if we would like another coffee or espresso (around 10:15 p.m....), as the device would be switched off and cleaned immediately. We answered the question in the negative and instead ironically said “I would like the ouzo after dinner”. This also came quickly. And then the bill came... And the ouzo, which is usually free at every Greek restaurant... It was 3.40 euros each on our bill.. We were assumed to have ordered the ouzo. The ouzo, which is free, will only be brought after payment. Tried to clarify on site. Without success. Very unfortunate. Be careful when you agree to an ouzo. Can quickly become expensive.... For a thimble like this 0815.. Addition: ... the answer is an impudence and does not correspond to the truth! This restaurant cannot handle criticism and comments are untrue!!! We didn't get any ouzo at the beginning and didn't feel the need to get drunk. How bold is something like that?! Now it is understandable and comprehensible how the negative recessions come about after a visit to you. You will now be remembered in an incredibly negative way. These are lies! Not recommended!!

Food, service, ambience, everything was great The first time I found it just by chance Been there twice on vacation now Can really recommend

For us, Acheron is simply the best Greek restaurant in the city and has now become a regular restaurant for us. The service is always friendly and everything comes to the table quickly and fresh. All the dishes we've tried so far tasted great and there were so many that there was always something left over for home. A visit here is definitely worth it! :)

Food was better than I expected after some of my mediocre experiences at previous stops on our trip. Friendly and prompt service. Outside dining was very pleasant. Nice find.

The Acheron was surprisingly large on the inside too. A cozy courtyard with romantic lighting and good food invites you to stay - which is why we were there two hours longer than originally planned. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the boss was friendly. To top it all off, we got ice cream to go home with because we don't drink schnapps. Absolute top recommendation for Greek in the Neustadt! Yammy!

Great restaurant, very nice staff, great location, delicious food at fair prices.

We celebrated my son's birthday here, lots of choice and was really tasty. I would love to eat there again, I can only recommend it to everyone. Thank you very much

Food tasted good, there was enough choice. The waiting time after ordering understandably scales with the number of guests, but one drink order was forgotten and another was wrong. Sitting outside is possible in both blazing sun and light rain as there are large umbrellas. However, traffic drives right past you.

Food, atmosphere, service just great!!!

Very attentive service. Absolutely great. You feel very well served. The food tasted very good and was sufficient. Keep it up!

A nice restaurant, the terrace is cozy. The staff was super nice and considerate. However, we were totally disappointed by the food; we were here a few years ago and it was very tasty. The over-baked gyro in Metaxa was not good at all. The meat was rubbery and the sauce was watery. No taste. Very unfortunate.

The food was simply amazing!! The portions are sufficiently large. With starter it's too much. But who can say no to garlic bread?! We recommend!!

Nice, quaint restaurant with a lot of dedicated staff. You felt comfortable and the food was plentiful and very tasty, especially the starter platter with feta, olives, stuffed grape leaves and tzatziki. The prices are completely reasonable, you only have to dig deep into your pockets for the drinks, but the selection is excellent. All in all a lovely evening

Delicious food, friendly service, a wide range of offerings even shortly before closing time and no time pressure. We would love to come here again.

Very friendly staff. Super delicious food, always fresh ingredients. Our favorite Greek restaurant in Dresden

Portions are filling. Tasty. And fast service. Thank you🙏

Very very cool! Food was amazing, beer ice cold! It was a pleasure! Prices are also affordable.

For me this place is the best Greek in DD. Good, fast and always friendly service. (Lb.Gr.Maria) 👍👍

This restaurant, one of the few of its kind, adheres to the credo of expected quality with outstanding service for a reasonable price. In these times it's a luxury that can be recommended to everyone without hesitation, without the shiki-miki pseudo-stuff! We'll come back anytime!

Always been our regular place. Unfortunately the pork steak was raw and I complained about it. The cutlery plate was repurposed and the pig was placed on it. Came back like that after 5 minutes... is it still working? I would have expected a new one. As an apology, a coffee at 9 p.m. 🙈 never again!!!

We are extremely disappointed with our visit to the Acheron. An hour and a half after ordering our main course, the staff noticed from us that they hadn't passed our order on to the kitchen. Instead of humility, they just said, “It can happen sometimes,” and there’s a round of schnapps on the house. The dishes then came one at a time and our feeling of fullness had long since begun due to the starter. The result was a feeling of fullness and half-full plates. We were still allowed to pay for everything. Thanks for nothing. We won't come back and would rather trust what we know.

I can only recommend the restaurant. Very attentive staff. Good food, fresh salad, grilled meat, very tasty

Extremely rude staff, panic was caused just in time for the end of the workday (even though you had RESERVED at that time), and you were literally forced to finish the food quickly. It should also be mentioned that the older gentleman - also called the waiter - twice failed to remember an order instead of writing it down. That's why we ended up enjoying at least half of our original order. Which wasn't exactly tasty and was prepared carelessly. Have a pleasant weekend and it's best to come by 9 p.m. at the latest to enjoy your food.

Delicious Greek food with a great ambience.

If the salad were even more presentable, then 5 🌟
