Akropolis in Cochem

We ate here on December 30, 24 because of the good reviews. Great service, nice restaurant, but we would prefer to give 0 stars for the food! With the best will in the world, we can't understand all the good reviews, the food came after just under 10 minutes and was simply the purest greasy landscape of fat, even the plate itself was greasy! The rice tasted like it had just been cooked in vegetable broth, the fries had no taste. Unfortunately a 6 in terms of taste and quality.

I liked the atmosphere and service. The waiter was very kind and friendly to the guests. They serve very tasty wine. But I wasn't very impressed with the food. We ordered 4 different dishes, but they all brought us almost the same thing...

Very, very tasty food, very friendly service! Reservation makes sense because it is very busy. Gladly again!

On New Year's Eve my wife and I were able to enjoy a great meal with friendly staff in a great atmosphere

Very friendly staff, reasonable starters. Main courses poor; not the intention to prepare meat the day before and reheat it later.

Very tasty food but quite busy because of the holidays. Very friendly service!

Unfortunately not for tourists. We were there with 12 people, so we had a high bill. We were neither offered an ouzo nor were we given a proper farewell. One family was charged an exorbitant amount of ketchup and mayo; for the other family, the bill was rounded up to the full euro at €0.90. The food was tasty. Well... we wouldn't go here again!

Nice restaurant, fast friendly service. Delicious food, good prices.

Excellent Greek in the center of Cochem. No haute cuisine, just tasty Greek food for not too much money.

We received a friendly welcome and had a delicious lunch here. The only minor point of criticism is that the German guests were asked if everything was to their liking, and we were not. But otherwise highly recommended!

Actually a very nice restaurant on the first floor. But I found it very loud there when there were a lot of people there. Food was ok. But it didn't blow me away. Everything happened very quickly. We'd finish eating in half an hour. With starter. Plates were always taken quickly from the table, even though not all of them were ready. Personally, I don't think it's that great. Staff but nice and friendly.

Great food, very tasty! Must try! Great service! We were here on Christmas Eve! Everything was just perfect!

Delicious food, large portions, excellent service, only the beer was small😂

Very tasty gyros and tzatziki. Clean and well-kept atmosphere. Food at fair prices. Everything was top notch

We got a table without a reservation, which was great. The service is very good and the atmosphere is very nice. The food was served after 10 minutes!! at the table. Tasted weak, dry and like a finished product. The gyro was burnt. The fries had no taste at all. It's a shame, as fans of Greek food we expected something different. This can definitely be improved.

Very tasty greek food. The Gyros was great. The price is affordable and the staff is nice. Highly recommended.

Very tasty food. Highly recommended if you are in the area.

Wow, wow, wow! We called spontaneously and got a table. The two waitresses were very accommodating and friendly. The portions are incredibly large and the taste is really amazing! Great recommendation!

I had the Apollon plate (I hope I kept the correct name 🤔)...huge portion...hot...fresh and very good fries...portion of tzatziki had to be ordered separately (seems to be normal now). But then it was huge...8 people ate...everyone was very, very satisfied...absolute recommendation👍

Wanted to eat something in the restaurant at 5:30 p.m. There was no table for 2 people. We were supposed to come back at 8 p.m. So we had to walk around hungry for 3 hours. I think you should keep a table free for people without a reservation. I would have liked to test the food, but since we're going home tomorrow, that's out of the question

Very friendly staff and good food! We both ordered a starter and a main course but it was so much food that we couldnt finish it. Very tasty calamaris and Gyros!

A Greek restaurant that you quickly pass by if you don't look closely. There was no one at the door to guide you in, luckily! Unfortunately, in Cochem it has become really annoying that you are picked on. Not here... And that's a good thing because this restaurant is not flooded with tourists and has retained its natural ambience. The food was really good and filling. Unfortunately too much for us. Service was friendly but not exaggerated. The food was brought out quickly, both at lunchtime and in the evening. You can dine there politely and quickly or just linger, you can tell that the restaurant is not designed for tourists, but for locals who want to spend their lunch break there or have a cozy evening together. Conclusion A cozy Greek restaurant in a tourist town that has remained for locals.

Nice atmospheric restaurant, friendly owner and son! Food was genuinely of very good quality and large portions. We would definitely come back. Nice to notice quality and friendliness! Fair prices.

Delicious food here, large portions for a fair price! The meat was wonderfully tender.... would definitely eat here again!

A beautiful place, it was pleasantly busy on a Monday, the food was delicious and fast! All in all a great restaurant! Definitely recommended

nice ambience, we were there with 5 people, the food was very good, the portions were very large, the staff was very friendly, The young waiter who served us was very attentive and courteous

Despite the booming business and full tables on a Saturday evening at the end of November, a place was quickly prepared for the two of us. The employees were quick and courteous. The quality of the main course was great (Apollo plate) and the quantity was more than plentiful. Only the salad was a little confusing. There were pieces of pepper from the jar (pickled in pickles), coleslaw in its own broth, yoghurt dressing and, at the bottom, a dollop of tzatziki. If all of this had been served side by side - great. But everything on top of each other was just confusing. But I would go back at any time, that was really complaining on a high level. You won't find dishes like grilled octupus on the menu.

Also wir können nicht klagen. Das Essen war sehr gut und mehr als reichlich. Der Kellner höflich und aufmerksam. Schade, dass wir dieses Lokal erst kurz vor unserer Abreise entdeckt haben. Wir wären sicher noch ein zweites Mal wiedergekommen.

We have never tasted such tender and delicious beef liver. The ambience is really nice, especially because it is not so bright but very romantic and cozy. We'll definitely be back.

Great prices, super fast service and super tasty

Nice restaurant, delicious food, friendly service, reserve a table if possible as it is very busy, especially on the weekends.

The welcome was friendly and we were served quickly without long waiting times. The restaurant is also beautifully decorated. However, the food was shockingly bad. The chicken soup tasted just as bland as canned soup with tough chicken, the zucchini starter had nothing to do with the original Greek dish and the vegetables and salmon were almost certainly frozen. The menu promised salmon on a bed of vegetables, but what turned out to be a piece of over-fried salmon with a tomato, cucumber and onion garnish on the side. Furthermore, none of the staff asked if we wanted anything else to drink, so we sat there without a drink for 3/4 of the time. Maybe it's also worth mentioning that I had stomach problems afterwards. There's no way I'm coming back here.

Delicious food and very nice staff! Large portions also, and good price. 😊

Had a very good meal here! Great service, everything great and everyone nice. Good value for money! Perhaps even slightly too large portions as main courses. Because most of the meat was quite fatty, it was very filling. In any case, we had a very nice evening! Thanks for that!

We had a great time. The gyros was very good.

The entrance door is a bit inconspicuous, but friendly staff, smooth service, good food, neat and clean company.

Friendly and correct service, cozy restaurant and delicious food with large portions. Highly recommended!

Good Greek food, very fast service. All in all just great

- Restaurant: 1. Eindruck: viele Touristen, bestmöglich ausgefüllte Bestuhlung, teilweise eng. Temperatur war unangenehm warm - Speisekarte: online ist nicht identisch mit der die uns im Restaurant angeboten wurde, zumal die Gerichte alle im Durchschnitt 2 Euro teuerer sind und vor allem in einer sehr abgespeckten Version. - Service: sehr freundlich - Vorspeise: Champignons in Knoblauch: sehr gut, Zucchini und Aubergine frittiert: auch gut, Tsatziki: Geschmacklich hat es nach mit wenig Salz und Gurke gewürztem Magerquark geschmeckt, der mit etwas Milch verrührt wurde. - Hauptspeise: Bifteki mit Schafkäse, Gyros, 1 Spieß mit Schweinefleisch: sehr trocken, Gyros sehr fett und Bifteki fast ungewürzt, wie das andere Fleisch auch. Die Pommes waren nicht knusprig und mit einem undefinierbaren Kräutersalz gewürzt, welches man wieder nicht rausschmecken konnte, allerdings waren die Kräuter auf den Pommes sichtbar. Alles in allem kulinarisch gesehen eine Katastrophe für uns.

Nice staff. Food more than plentiful and good.

We were really very excited. Not only was the food excellent, the service was also extremely friendly and very quick. We were kindly given a seat without a reservation. We really only have good things to say. I haven't had such a good Greek meal in a long time. Prices completely acceptable, even for drinking and huge portions. Many thanks again to the owner. We'll be back.

We had the best meal of our four week trip here! The food and service were excellent with precise detail to presentation. The Chicken skewers, perfectly seasoned and grilled, were served with fries. The incredible side salad and amazing tzatziki sauce complemented the meal. Reservations are required due to the small restaurant and huge influx of tourists! Don’t miss out - we saw many people turned away.

We wanted something a bit different than schnitzel so after a bit of googling found Akropolis. Being a big greek fan it was the perfect choice. Upstairs out of the way the restaurant was nice and modern. We didn't book and the restaurant was busy but a table was found for us. We both plumped for the Lamb Souvlaki with chips and salad and it was very nice, on par with anything I've had in Corfu An Ouzo shot was supplied on the house which was greatly received, presented in lovely shot sized pint jugs

Very nice service and courteous. The food tastes very good.

Good food and great service. A good stop for lunch if you are around and okay with Greek food. Large portions as well and we enjoyed our lunch.

The service is extremely friendly and the restaurant looks cozy. We got a table by the window. When I noticed that it was very cold there, the owner closed the window. Well solved! Unfortunately, the food was less to our taste. The soup arrived almost cold. After a comment about this, this was quickly corrected. A little later we received new, hot soup and the basket of bread that had previously been forgotten. The main course was not bad, but could have been better. Large portions, but very salty and greasy. The gyros was not as spicy as we are used to. The fat made the food so rich that we only finished half of it.

Friendly staff, lovely food and a nice atmosphere. Was busy when we popped by, but they found us a table without a booking. Would recommend

The restaurant is located on the second floor and is difficult to find from the outside. Honestly the food is not tasty. The portions are large, but at the expense of potatoes. The meat was dry, mayonnaise and ketchup were in bags. The salad that is served at the beginning - tzatziki was discovered at the end, when the leaves had already been eaten. The champignons are also not tasty. Apparently the central location does something to the chef's ability to cook. The staff is kind. Everything is ok here. I wouldn't go a second time, so I don't recommend it. My review upset the Owner... for some reason he perceived it as if it were a personal matter, and not as a place where you can look to make yourself even better. Well... I didn't want to offend him, this is just my opinion of a person who is spoiled by delicious food. And those who know the restaurant really don’t need it (in my opinion).

Ended up here on the recommendation of our hotel. The 4 of us had a nice meal, even our children had enough to eat from their small menu! Friendly service and a delicious Greek specialty to finish

We had dinner together with the children during the autumn holidays. It is a warm, cozy atmosphere. Service is very friendly and makes you feel very welcome. We were with two children aged 5 and 8, and when ordering we also received good advice about the food and portions. Staff always came to ask if everything was okay and made us feel welcome! Food was very tasty, portions were large! We didn't have to wait long for food! Plus point because I was very hungry! Price is friendly!

Very tasty, very quick, very nice, great.

Fantastic food, great staff and a very cozy place. 5/5!

We hebben hier heerlijk gegeten. Lekker warm opgediend. Goede prijs kwaliteit verhouding. Echt een aanrader. Reserveren is aan te bevelen.

Greek Restaurant Akropolis, located at Linius Straße 5 in the center of the tourist town of Cochem on the Mosel River. A 10-minute walk from the station in Cochem. This is a traditional Greek restaurant, not only the dishes on the menu but also the decor are Greek. We had dinner here on October 12, 2024, when there was a market in the center of Cochem that was well attended, which was also noticeable in the restaurant where almost all tables were occupied around half past five. But the service was quick and friendly and we didn't have to wait too long for our starter of fried zucchini with tzatziki, which tasted delicious and is highly recommended. A little later the ordered gyros dish arrived, served with fries and a bowl of Greek salad and mayonnaise. Ordered a second round of drinks, but we had to say thank you for dessert, the starter and main course were more than enough for us, we did not leave feeling hungry, despite our Moselsteig walking stage from Senheim to Cochem (22 kilometers). If you are in Cochem in the future and you want delicious Greek food, then this is definitely recommended in our opinion.

If everything wasn't perfect, my family and I wouldn't come to this restaurant from Frankfurt every month.✔️👌 If everything weren't perfect, my family and I wouldn't come to this restaurant from Frankfurt every month."

Very friendly and fast service, very attentive, good food, good prices 😎👍

People who hadn't booked a table were ignored for a long time and then sent away, even though there were still free tables. There were a total of 3 waiters there, one of whom was very friendly, the other two were grumpy and even unfriendly. The food was definitely already prepared because it was on the table quickly. Unfortunately dry and bland. I wouldn't recommend the restaurant and wouldn't go there myself.

We were very excited! The restaurant was very full and we didn't have a reservation, but we got a table quickly. The food was fantastic, portions were plentiful and prices were absolutely reasonable. The atmosphere is great and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. Only the toilets are a bit strange: very chic, modern and clean, but the frosted glass doors of the individual toilet cubicles give too much insight for our opinion, because yes, you can see when someone is in there. 🤔

Super, super nice staff. Very nice atmosphere... Food was delicious. 👌 We'll be back 😉👍

Super sweet service and totally delicious food.

The food was very good and without a reservation it is almost impossible to enjoy it. We were lucky, but the staff sat us down at a table in a rather grumpy manner, probably because we hadn't made a reservation. What was very annoying is that it was not possible to split the bill at the end. Especially at a business meal where someone doesn't always cover the entire bill, it should be technically possible to assign each guest their bill. Funny, or lack of enthusiasm on the part of the employees.

Eating in this restaurant was like being in Greece. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. They even held unto my water bottle that I forgot until I remembered leaving it there and they had it ready for me when I came back later. I would definitely recommend eating at the Akropolis..

It's called Acropolis because you have to climb up the stairs to get to this restaurant. Very nice service, good Greek food in generous portions and the quality that you can expect from this type of restaurant.

The portions were huge, but the food was mediocre. I had a gyros, but the plate consisted of 1/3 dry meat, 1/3 yoghurt and 1/3 underdone fries. My mother ordered a salad and while the vegetables were fresh, there was just a huge slab of feta in the centre. It wasn't very inspired. Our waiter was very kind and quick though and the decor is quite nice.

A great atmosphere. Even though it was a Saturday evening, we still got a spot. Nice staff. Great dishes with a great taste.

Good food...very large portions and nice service.

We always very tasty. Service great.

If you want to eat delicious food in Cochem at a fair price, you've come to the right place. Even without pre-ordering we were given a table in a friendly manner, the restaurant was busy and we still got our food very quickly. Clear recommendation!

Very tasty Greek. Went there for dinner and had to wait a short while until a table was available for us. The wait was 100% worth it. Would love to come back.

Had dinner there today. Have been there several times, but today I was really disappointed. I ordered a large salad platter. It was just a plate of salad without a plate. Was on the plate Canned corn Canned beans I assume coleslaw comes from a bucket 2 slices of tomatoes 🍅 3 slices of cucumbers 😅 2 olives that still had a stone in them, where I almost took out a tooth because I bit on the stone. And 3 leaves of lettuce. The chicken breast cut into strips didn't taste exactly fresh either. And all for 16.20 euros. I found it very overpriced. Because most of it came from a can. Disappointing!!!!

Wonderful Greek food, very tasty. I would love to have Zaziki Gyros with fries and salad again at any time

Thank you for the delicious food and the lovely service. Despite the busyness!

Bought takeout yesterday, fast service, friendly staff, and it was all delicious. There is new staff, kind, new menu card, with a lot of positive energy love and smiles, all customers are happy.

Great venue, nice service 🤩 The food was fantastic, generous portions at a good price. Highly recommend this place⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Just a good meal. The price quality is excellent and actually more than excellent. While most restaurants in Cochem are more concerned with taking money out of your pocket, you get value for your money here. Delicious food in a cozy atmosphere

What delicious meals, that's where it all starts. Large portions, deliciously seasoned meat and a plate with salad. Forget your starter if you take a meat dish. Service also very good, nice place on an upper floor and a nice cozy atmosphere. Price is also really great. Highly recommended and much better than the restaurants on the Moselle promenade.

Very tasty food, friendly service and reasonable prices! I can only recommend it!

Went there for dinner today, got a table quickly without a reservation, the staff was very friendly, the food was very tasty and a lot, great value for money, the restaurant is highly recommended.

Nice staff The food was very tasty, plentiful and the price/performance ratio was right

Highly recommended! Service Very friendly, pointed me to the lunch table.

It was a successful evening all around, the food was great, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Really nice atmosphere, great value for money. Would love to come back.

OK. Geht besser. Preis Leistung ok und super freundliches Personal. Ohne Reservierung dazwischen geschoben. Getränke fix da. Was will man mehr.

Often very crowded and everything a bit hectic. Food was ok, but unfortunately my gyro wasn't quite cooked through and the service didn't really matter. Impression, the main thing is quickly, quickly.

A must in Cochem...if you like Greek.

My wife has family in the area, and Akropolis is a special tradition when we visit. Celebrating my birthday, we visited, and we were served like we were their family. The menu varied enough for all tastes and full meal servings. We enjoyed The full bar, ouzo, beer, and a couple of specialty drinks, all delicious. The dinners are excellent with tzatziki and fresh salads. Looking forward to coming back.

Wir waren nach ein paar Jahren Pause in Cochem, hier wieder einmal Essen. Hier wurde zwar der Besitzer gewechselt, aber der Qualität am Essen hat der Wechsel nicht geschadet. Unsere bestellten Essen waren sehr sehr gut. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Preis Leistung ist vollkommen in Ordnung. Absolute Empfehlung!!

Super lecker und große Portionen zu guten günstigen Preisen. Personal freundlich und aufmerksam. Einrichtung typisch Grieche

Had a delicious meal with a large group of 3 families with children of primary and secondary school age. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

We were here twice on vacation and felt very comfortable. The staff was very friendly and nice. The food was very tasty and plentiful. The restaurant is comfortably furnished, but it is difficult to see the restaurant from the outside. But if you search, you will find 😉. We'd love to come back.

We were here a year ago and loved it. That's why I reserved a table specifically and the four of us celebrated my birthday. We got there on time at 5 p.m., ordered a lot and were asked at around 6:30 p.m. if we wanted something to drink. Of course I ordered another round and received it shortly after half time. But then at 7 p.m. we were asked to leave our table because it had already been given away again at 7 p.m. What's that supposed to mean???? If they couldn't have told us that, we all still had the drinks in our hands and then had to stand at the counter. This has never happened to me before, stupid. It was clear from the huge present that it was one of our birthdays and we would have liked to have sat there longer. That's a reason for us not to go to this restaurant anymore, even though the food is tasty. But something like that doesn't work, it's a shame 😡

The food was delicious. The staff was very friendly. We were allowed to come into the restaurant with our dog and it was immediately provided with water without asking. Finally, my wife and I were invited to an Uzo. It couldn't be better 👍

The older gentleman who served us was so unfriendly and ignorant that I will never enter the restaurant again.

Average good restaurant. Compared to some other restaurants in Cochem, this one can definitely be recommended

Highly recommended restaurant. Delicious food, fast service and good prices. Staff extremely friendly.

We moesten nog even wachten tot er plek was. Kregen een ouzo tijdens het wachten. Leuke aankleding heeft het restaurant. Vriendelijk personeel. Niks was teveel. Eten heel lekker en behoorlijke portie. Gyros supermals. Aanrader!!

Food came very quickly and was very tasty! Gladly again

Delicious food, excellent service 👌

We hadn't booked a table, but they still found a place for us. That was our luck. Best restaurant we have visited here in the city. Nice chicken soup, a salad with good dressing and a little surprise under the greens. The salad was a supplement from the restaurant. To finish, lamb chops seasoned to perfection. The service was absolutely top notch. The price absolutely too. We just say thank you.

Stopped here today at lunchtime for a Greek farmer's salad. The welcome was nice and friendly, we were shown straight to a table and served quickly. The farmer's salad was simply solid and good, the olives were forgotten, but were added in plenty straight after the comment. There was also a portion of bagiette bread. The service is very attentive and friendly. We'll definitely come back again.

friendly service. The gyros metaxa was very tasty.
