Acheron in Dresden

The food was really delicious and the service was friendly. The price/performance ratio was perfect.

Acheron means passion! A culinary experience unlike any other; an atmosphere like home. This Greek haven offers everything you could wish for!

A perfect place to enjoy yourself! Thank you for the lovely evening.

Delicious Greek food - I'm thrilled.

Authentic Greek cuisine. Very friendly service. Like a mini-vacation in my favorite Greek spot in Epirus ❤️.

A wonderful evening! I'd love to do it again!

A truly delicious Greek restaurant with incredibly friendly service. We love coming back and always feel comfortable in the atmosphere. 🌞🇬🇷 For us, it's the best Greek restaurant in Dresden.

Fantastic Greek restaurant! Delicious food and exceptionally good ouzo. Warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended!

A very nice restaurant with super friendly and attentive staff. The food was also very tasty and the portions were generous! And the ouzo was plentiful! I'd gladly come back again!

Great restaurant, delicious food and simply a super atmosphere!

A really beautiful restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. The food is simply fantastic! Best Greek restaurant in the Neustadt district. Definitely worth a visit.

Great restaurant with super delicious food!

A great restaurant with delicious, fresh food and very friendly staff. We arrived without a reservation and still got a table for two. However, making a reservation is recommended. We'd love to come back.

No complaints except that it was loud.

Top :) Very tasty and friendly service

The food was very good. The service was very friendly. I'd gladly come again.

We've been here several times. Always large, delicious portions, friendly service, and a pleasantly authentic atmosphere.

We were a party of four and dined at Acheron on a Thursday evening. The service was very friendly and attentive, and our drinks arrived promptly after we ordered them. The food was excellent and also served very quickly. We were checked on regularly, but without being intrusive, to see if everything was alright or if we needed anything. We had a lovely, relaxing evening and I highly recommend Acheron.

Great staff, delicious food and a great atmosphere 👍 Highly recommended

Great place, I'm very satisfied.

It tasted absolutely delicious, I'll definitely come back.

We had a wonderful experience! The food was outstanding – fresh, delicious, and prepared with great care. The service was excellent: attentive, friendly, and always cheerful. Children are warmly welcomed here, which we especially appreciated. Overall, there's a very welcoming and warm atmosphere where you immediately feel at ease. Highly recommended! 👏😊

Really good food, nice atmosphere

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

We were there for dinner on Saturday evening, just the two of us. We both received the wrong food and had to place the order again. The waitress blamed us, claiming my wife had ordered the wrong thing. There was no apology, no "I'm sorry," and no "we'll bring you what you ordered." She was very unfriendly. We calmed things down and ordered the correct food again, which we received later. In the end, however, we were still expected to pay for the incorrect order, as it was listed on the bill. When I pointed this out, she asked if they wouldn't cancel it, but instead, she rolled her eyes and called me a liar. The service and friendliness were a disaster, although the food was tasty.

I went to a wonderful restaurant today and had a fantastic experience! The food was delicious, fresh, and prepared with great care. The service was outstanding – everyone was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. What I especially appreciated was that the owner personally came to our table and wished us bon appétit. This was a very thoughtful and respectful gesture and made the visit even more special. The atmosphere was cozy and pleasant. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this restaurant!

Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly!

Everything was delicious. The staff was very friendly. I'd happily come back anytime.

The restaurant was far too crowded. The place was packed. The staff couldn't serve our main course within two hours, despite having a reservation. We had two children with us! The manager came over with a flippant remark, "Everything's just full!" Not even the slightest apology was offered. Yes, if I were him, I'd lower the reservations! Or hire more staff; he's got it all under his control! All in all, far too loud, not cozy. We won't be seeing you again anytime soon!

It was a truly lovely evening. Delicious food, very friendly staff, and a great atmosphere.

Great food. We went to Acheron for the first time with six people, and everyone loved it. Big compliments to the chef!

The food was great(and you have a lot of options to choose from), the restaurant is very nice (it also has an inner courtyard), the personnel was very attentive. They offer you some shots from the house, which was a nice surprise.

The salad consisted almost entirely of iceberg lettuce. The dressing was like pre-made sauce from a bottle. The white bread was unsalted and tasted of nothing. The main courses were okay. The service was friendly and quick.

For me, this is definitely the best Greek restaurant in all of Dresden! The value for money, the food, the service—everything is simply perfect.

We visited Acheron, a lovely Greek restaurant in Dresden, over a long weekend because of the good reviews. We had the bifteki and the filet special, each with Metaxa sauce, fries, and extra tzatziki. The dishes were plentiful and incredibly delicious. Unfortunately, the bifteki had very runny feta cheese, which more or less oozed out – still delicious, but we're used to it. The service was very friendly and service-oriented, just as you'd expect. We started with a blue house schnapps and finished with ouzo. The atmosphere was spacious yet cozy.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A piece of Greece in the heart of Dresden What a wonderful experience! The restaurant not only offers authentic Greek cuisine, but also a warm, family-like atmosphere that immediately welcomes you. The dishes were simply outstanding – the gyro in particular was tender and perfectly seasoned, the goat cheese in puff pastry was divine, and the appetizer platter was a true delight. The dessert, "Greek yogurt with honey and walnuts," was also lovingly prepared and delicious. The service was attentive, friendly, and very accommodating. You can tell that the food here is cooked with passion. The value for money is also excellent – ​​large portions, fresh ingredients, and fair prices. We will definitely be back.

⁷ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) Date of visit: September 27, 2025 We had a fantastic visit to this Greek restaurant in Dresden this evening! We were warmly greeted upon entering and immediately escorted to our table. The atmosphere was authentically Mediterranean – warm, cozy, and decorated with great attention to detail. The food was simply outstanding: The appetizer platter with tzatziki and grilled pepperoni was fresh and aromatic. I particularly want to highlight the gyro with Metaxa sauce; it was as tender as butter, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The goat cheese in puff pastry was also of the highest quality and beautifully prepared. The service was attentive, friendly, and very professional. You could tell that genuine hospitality is practiced here. Despite the full house, we were always served quickly and felt completely at home. To finish off, we had a glass of ouzo on the house – a lovely, authentic way to end the meal. Conclusion: An absolute highlight in Dresden! Anyone who loves Greek cuisine should definitely not miss this restaurant. We'll definitely be back.

The food was very bland and uninspiring. I should really give the service zero stars for the disrespectful behavior. Very tourist-oriented.

A very nice place. The food wasn't particularly special, a bit tasteless. The chef was at many tables and kept walking past us without even asking if we liked our food. The neighboring tables were given ouzo; we're used to it that if you bring ouzo, every table gets one. It's a shame, we're more hospitable.

Still as good as it was 7 years ago, would like to come more often, but 560 km is unfortunately too far away.

We've been coming here for several years now, and it's always like a few hours of vacation. The ambiance is idyllic and the food is perfect. The price/performance ratio is perfectly balanced.

Very friendly service, attentive but not intrusive. The food is delicious. The portions are generous. There's something for every taste, including vegetarian options. Highly recommended.

Very friendly service, very attentive! I highly recommend the food; what we had was really good! The meat was juicy and not dry, as is often the case with Greek restaurants. Highly recommended!

Great food and very friendly staff! We even spontaneously got a seat in the courtyard on a Friday evening without a reservation; it's almost nicer there than facing the street. Some orders got lost, but the food made it all worthwhile.

Wir sind der Meinung, daß war Spitze! Grandiose Küche, super freundliche Bedienung, die Speisekarte gestaltet sich mit den Beilagen anders und hebt sich von der Masse ab. Wir kommen sehr, sehr gerne wieder!

I hadn't eaten kritharaki in 40 years and was eager to experience it again. The Acheron isn't exactly the best on the menu, as there was only one dish with it. But the quality is definitely superior; it doesn't get any better than this.

The food was delicious And the service was friendly and prompt.

We were there today with a group. The terrace was 3/4 full, and the interior was 2/3 full when we arrived. We waited 15 minutes for our first drinks, an hour for the food after ordering, and even the provided salad plate didn't help. And then the food arrived one after the other! (Within 10 minutes from the first to the last dish). Reason: it was very busy; an hour is normal. Too bad if that's normal.

A beautiful restaurant, delicious food, and reasonable prices. The staff is very polite and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended. The food is excellent, the staff very friendly and accommodating. The prices are reasonable.

Very friendly, we received excellent service. The food was excellent; we highly recommend it.

We spent a wonderful evening at Acheron. The restaurant is lovingly designed, with a stylish ambiance and a very welcoming atmosphere. The food was simply authentic, freshly prepared, and of a high standard. The portions were more than ample. We would particularly like to highlight the service: The waiters were extremely friendly, attentive, and warm, without being intrusive. We felt welcome from the very beginning. A place we can wholeheartedly recommend – we will definitely be back!

We've been regulars for 10 years and can confirm that the Greek restaurant Acheron on Königstrasse in Dresden is truly highly recommended! You can sit comfortably inside, either in the Artium or in the lovingly decorated rooms of the restaurant, or on the terrace when the weather is nice. The staff is very friendly and attentive, and you feel welcome from the very beginning. The food is freshly prepared and tastes excellent; especially (number 64) was a treat! The portions are generous and the prices are absolutely reasonable for the quality. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The free 24 Ouzo is perfect. As always, a successful evening – we'd love to come back!

Unfortunately, the quality has declined considerably. There are candles on the table, but they're not lit. You have to get your own oil and vinegar. There's no dessert menu, and no coffee is offered. The food isn't really prepared with love. You get the feeling it's all just a quick buck. The "free ouzo" still seems to attract Dresdeners, though.

We feel at home here! The food is always delicious, and the atmosphere is friendly! We'd love to come back! Thank you very much!

The taste was very good, the service was very attentive, the price/performance ratio was good, and they even included a second ouzo with the bill. Conclusion: Highly recommended....

A top-notch Greek restaurant with truly delicious food. Seasoned a bit more traditionally, perhaps that's why it's a real recommendation.

The Acheron is highly recommended. Friendly and extremely fast service. The food takes a while, but it's freshly prepared and everything is delicious.

Fantastic food, service was quick and attentive. Great, would go back.

Despite good service, the food was rather disappointing - the gyros was bone dry, the garlic potatoes seriously over-salted to the point of being inedible, the salmon overcooked and dry, etc. Moreover, we waited a very long time for the main course. Given the overall good reviews, I would assume that the cook either had a bad day or a day off. The silver lining was that the very nice waitress brought us ouzo before and after the meal. Given our experience, we will not return.

We ended our evening here and found the food, while not exceptional, quite good. The portions were filling enough to fill us up. We were a little disappointed that we were only offered "inside" and "outside" seating – even though there were beautiful spots under the green canopy in the courtyard. You can't hide things like that! We sat on the terrace facing the street, which fortunately had little traffic. During our meal, we were disturbed by both persistent flies and constant questions from the waiter. Less would have been more here. But all in all, you can have a good time and enjoy the food.

Located a little away from the hustle and bustle of Dresden, in the beautiful Baroque quarter.

Very good Greek restaurant. The food was delicious and the price was reasonable. They even included a free ouzo.

While walking through the new town, we were caught in the rain and took refuge under the umbrellas at the Acheron. We were really lucky. A member of the staff who saw us offered us a good coffee. Unfortunately, we couldn't hear him because of the rain. But it was just lovely. It's definitely a great place. 👍👍. We'll definitely come for dinner next time. Thanks again for the shelter.

Wir waren tagsüber dort und konnten außen sitzen, sehr angenehm, freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service. Als interessantes Begrüßungsgetränk gab es einen holunderartigen Likör, den ich zunächst als alkoholfreien Ouzo bezeichnen wollte. Vorspeisen und die Bifteki waren wirklich sehr gut, vor allem der Zaziki war von perfekter Würze, das Gyros leider etwas trocken. Der Grillteller war etwas einfallslos hergerichtet, vor allem die „Grillkartoffeln“ waren einfache, frittierte Kartoffelscheiben. Dennoch, bei Gelegenheit würde ich da schon mal wieder hingehen.

Great value for money... Great food... Highly recommended!

Super delicious Greek food with very friendly service

Best Greek restaurant in Dresden

The grill should be cleaned better. The grill had burnt residue from the previous owner.

We spent two days in Dresden and ate twice at the Acheron. We've rarely had such delicious Greek food. Excellent staff, very clean, and tastefully decorated. We felt very comfortable. 100 stars to the entire staff. We'll be back 😋

Everything was great, as always.

Some of the appetizer portions are quite large. The server should have pointed this out. The weather was nice, and we sat outside.

Very friendly and warm atmosphere....highly recommended

We found it by chance and were delighted. Very friendly, with excellent and plentiful food that we all enjoyed. We sat in the courtyard, which was very cozy. The blue aperitif made with a secret recipe was also delicious. If we're ever there again, we'll be back. Thanks for the lovely evening.

I can only recommend this kitchen; everything was cooked to perfection, fantastic. The salad was delicious, and the dessert melted in your mouth. The service was fantastic, and the ambiance was also impressive.

We spent three days in Dresden and went to dinner at the "Acheron" every day. The food is fantastic, and the staff is very attentive and friendly. We tried a different dish every day and were delighted every time. As long-time holidaymakers in Greece, we often enjoy Greek food at home, too. This restaurant, however, is the best of all the Greek restaurants we've ever visited.

Wonderful food, kind host, perfect service from the guys at the service!!!!!!!

The chef and waitress know their craft. We'd be happy to come back 👌

Für die Qualität der Speisen, die Geschwindigkeit der Bedienung und den Preis komme ich gerne wieder - wenn ich nicht alleine hier gewesen wäre hätte mich die Lautstärke an Nachbartischen noch mehr gestört (dafür einen Punkt Abzug, sorry, wenn das nicht normal ist).

Delicious food and not too expensive, nice atmosphere

Very, very tasty, everything fresh - super friendly!

For me the best Greek restaurant in Dresden! Super delicious food and friendly service. A solution is found for people with intolerances or allergies! Thanks :)

An absolutely recommended restaurant. Super friendly and attentive staff! A really great atmosphere! Extremely delicious food! If we come to Dresden again, we will definitely eat here again 😉

Good Greek food, sufficient portions (you can get enough from the starter plate), very friendly service. Cozy courtyard. However, only a little sunlight (if that's what you're looking for).

Absolutely top :) From food to staff! Especially the chef's own ouzo mix. A blue drink with ouzo and a second component, which I unfortunately just forgot^^' Best regards! And see you soon :)

This is the worst Greek food I have ever had. The Moussaka could have been cooked days ago, it was tasteless with a uniform pudding like texture. The salad was iceberg lettuce and shredded carrots with thousand island dressing....not very Greek. The calamari was undercooked (ugh!). the lamb chops were okay but no Tzatziki in sight for either... rice was cold....as were the unspoiled potatoes.........Atmosphere? Prison cafeteria? A tenfold yuck! We should have taken photos of the food. you can see how awful it is.

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

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!

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 beautiful, recommended.

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.

Wir hatten das beste Gyros seit langem. Sehr fein geschnitten und gegrillt, gutes Fleisch und mit Zaziki, das genau die richtige Menge Knofi hatte. Auch den roten Hauswein kann empfehlen. Geht dorthin, es lohnt sich!

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.
