Akropolis in Cochem

Very good food, too much for the older generation. The portions are barely edible, but very tasty.

Ruime keuze aan eten. Goede kwaliteit en ruim voldoende eten. Verschillende soorten drank, voor, hoofd en nagerechten. Niet duur

We had the grilled pepperoni for starters, which are highly recommended. The chicken pan was also very tasty, but unfortunately, some of the gyro was very greasy and some pieces were very dry. The staff were attentive and friendly.

While spending a week in Cochem, I was looking to mix things up one evening and decided to try Akropolis, a Greek restaurant with decent reviews. Unfortunately, it turned out to be just an average experience—nothing terrible, but certainly nothing to write home about. I started with the calamari, which was clearly the cheap, frozen kind you’d expect from a supermarket bag. It was bland and uninspired. For the main, I had the chicken kebab plate. It seemed reasonably fresh, but the flavor was lacking. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t particularly good either—it simply met the basic need for food. This isn’t a place I’d return to unless I had no other options. It wasn’t awful, but it definitely wasn’t a memorable Greek dining experience. I think too often people give inflated ratings just to be polite, but honest feedback is how restaurants improve. Akropolis has potential, but right now it feels like it’s just coasting.

Als je lekker Grieks wilt eten In cochem Is zeker akropolis een aanrader Zeer vriendelijk personeel en zeer lekker eten Je krijgt er goede volle borden En het smaakt zeer lekker Na afloop krijg je een glaasje uzo

We reserved a table in advance and had a very pleasant evening. Greek cuisine with a difference. It was delicious and we were very satisfied. The staff was very friendly, and I think the value for money is very good. We highly recommend the restaurant...

Nice atmosphere, efficient service and huge portion of food but unfortunately everything was served with pommes (and small salad) with no other options. As I favor chicken, I ordered Saloniki teller but felt disappointed to find out that it included only a very tiny dry piece of chicken though plenty of gyros and a pork skewer. Luckily Weizen was icecold - just perfect after a hot day.

We love Greek cuisine and we really liked the food at Akropolis. The calamari melted in my mouth, the gyros was perfect for me. My husband said that the kefta was a bit too dry, but overall it was a big plus. Clean, nice, tasty and hospitable. I recommend

Friendly service and super tasty gyros. The landlord even pointed out the lunch menu - smaller portions. Thank you! The smaller quantity absolutely filled us up. If we come to Cochem again, we would be happy to come back.

Hatten schon 3 Monate im Voraus für den 1. Mai 2025 , 18:30Uhr reserviert für 8 Personen. Reservierung wurde uns auch per Mail bestätigt. Die Begrüßung war sehr freundlich. Wir wurden zum Tisch gebracht, gaben die Bestellungen auf, bekamen die Getränke und ab dann passierte das wann man nicht erwartet hat, man wurde einfach ignoriert. Wir warteten geduldig auf unsere Vorspeise, aber es tat sich nichts. Mittlerweile hatten alle Gäste die nach uns kamen bereits ihr Hauptgericht. Nun fragten wir höflich nach warum alle die nach uns gekommen sind schon ihre Hauptspeise haben und wir noch nicht einmal die Vorspeise? Es waren mittlerweile 1,5 Std. vergangen. Die pampige Antwort vom Service, das ist eben so es geht nach Protokoll ( was immer das bedeuten soll) Nach fast 2 Stunden hatten wir endlich unser Essen. Das Essen hatte leider keine besonders gute Qualität. Das Fleisch war noch recht zähe, die Leber zum Teil sehr trocken und kaum zum schneiden, Pommes sehr blass, der Reis zu weich und das Überbackene sehr fettig, mit wenig Fleisch und im Käse ertränkt, leider. Zudem war fast alles sehr fad oder versalzen. Wir lieben griechisches Essen, aber das was wir serviert bekamen war einfach von schlechter Qualität. Zur Krönung durften wir nicht einmal unsere Rechnungen am Tisch begleichen, sondern mussten vor an den Tresen. Zum Schluss wurde dann behauptet wir hätten nicht reserviert, Frechheit man muss sich als Gast nicht beleidigen lassen. Somit können wir dieses Lokal nicht weiterempfehlen .

Exquisite Greek food! 2 large Lambskewers from the arts! Gyros with tzaziki also nice tasty meat, not overly spiced or too salty. Large portions. Salad in advance also great, nice and fresh. Benedicter Weissbier on tap is recommended. Prices are also great, especially in this tourist location. Outside it doesn't seem special, but inside it is neat and cozy. Not noisy. Very friendly and competent staff. Highly recommended, we will come back here again. Thank you Acropolis

Super tasty and lots of it. Price/performance is right. You feel like you're in Greece.

The appetizers and main course were delicious. Very large portions. Fresh, filling, I will definitely go back there. The service was wonderful and I have very fond memories of this restaurant.

After an initial friendly welcome and despite making a reservation in advance, we were very disappointed! After we sat down at the table we were initially ignored by the staff. All guests around us, whether small or larger groups, were served directly. After we politely asked if we could order the drinks, they were accepted quite reluctantly. We were only able to order the food itself after asking several times and receiving very unfriendly answers from the service staff, which then came after about 1 1/2 hours. The quality was anything but good, e.g. totally mushy rice and the liver was fried so hard that you could hardly cut it. All in all a very disappointing dinner. Unfortunately, from our point of view, not recommended!

Very bad service. Despite making a reservation, we had to wait an hour and a half for our food. All around us the customers were served immediately and we sat and didn't even get the starter. When we asked why we weren't being served, we only received extremely unfriendly answers. The food was also very mixed. A lot of things were fried for too long and were therefore very tough and dry. Unfortunately, this experience spoiled the whole evening for us, so I would advise against eating there.

The service, quick and friendly. The food, however, was cold, the fries were sticky and the food we ordered was delivered incorrectly three times. The ouzo at the end was the best part of the visit.

Cozy location, we had not made a reservation, but a table for 2 was quickly arranged. Delicious food. Way too much but delicious. Highly recommended. Friendly staff.

Very tasty food, very nice service, great value for money. Attention: Restaurant on the 1st floor, you can easily miss the entrance door 😀

Very cheap lunch menu. The landlord and the waitress were very nice.

We were warmly welcomed. You should make a reservation as it is always busy. And the food was very tasty and a lot...

Very tasty, just ordered a little too much. 😉

Stopped in spontaneously and got a table. Friendly, quick staff. Food was very good and lots of it.

Very tasty food. Large portions. We were thrilled with the children's portion. Even that was really big.

Delicious food in a beautiful restaurant

The Acropolis absolutely deserves its stars. The number of visitors is therefore above average and reservations are advisable during the main food supply times. The employees are attentive and courteous and the boss also finds time to exchange a word with the guests. The side salads are not only crisp and fresh but also visually appealing. The liver shows a good relationship with the trusted butcher. The Metaxa sauce is also made with love. Ouzo? But of course! Even if we don't come to this corner very often, the Acropolis is definitely worth a recommendation.

We came across this Greek restaurant by chance because many other restaurants close relatively early in the evening in spring. But not this one. Very tasty food, good portions, nice service, cozy atmosphere. We felt very comfortable.

Not reserved but still got a spot after waiting a while. Excellent dishes!

Very nice restaurant. Cozy. Good value for money. Delicious.

I ate at the Akropolis for the first time today. I had read the reviews in advance and I wasn't disappointed. Had the Saloniki plate and two Greek Mythos beers. The beer tasted very good and the food was great. The meat was juicy, the fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and the salad was also delicious. The portion was sufficient, no, rather generous for a good eater like me. At the end I really had to fight 😉 (looks smaller in the photo). Finally, an ouzo on the house. At the time of this review, there are still two days in Cochem, and the chances are good that I will eat there again 👍😊

Four of us were there on Easter Monday. All dishes - king prawns, Appolon plate, Greek salad, suvlaki mix - were freshly prepared, plentiful and really tasty. Service was nice and accommodating. We'd love to come back!

Hidden gem! If you walk past it you would not easily step inside, but once you go up the stairs it is a great restaurant, very friendly staff and very good food.

Erg lekker, snel en zeer vriendelijk personeel. Heb nog nooit zo snel het eten gekregen nadat ik besteld had. De WC’s waren opvallend schoon en erg netjes Zeker een aanrader

Very good service even though we arrived at the last hour of the lunch shift, they have a menu in Spanish which is appreciated, everything is very delicious and abundant, we recommend Gyros Metaxa (note that it is abundant) and in days the Gulas and Chicken soup were cold. The waiters were very friendly, it reminded us a lot of our vacation in Greece.

Food was delicious and the whole family loved the food here. Pricy but the portions matched the price more than that taste dominated the price. Going back definitely!

We were 4 people and we have never had such a bad meal! We all became very ill from what little we tasted

Very good service and super delicious food 👍👍👍

Thank you very much for a great and delicious evening. Everything was just right here. The meat is super juicy and tasty. Unfortunately, there is currently nothing regional in Cochem that goes well beyond tourist food. This Greek gets it all out again. Mega! We'll be back. 🙂

Greek food has never been so bad, it was impossible to eat cold fries, meat was so salty and souvlaki was so dry, it was impossible to get rid of it Eat there once and never again

Service was good but the meat was tough and the tadzici was not included with the order. Have to order separately. Oezo was gratis at the end of the meal but not served cold. Salad was good but no garnish on the pla tes (pepperoni, olives or tomatoes) No typical Greek food as I've enjoyed at other restaurants in the past. Two stars.

See delicious food in a great atmosphere with very nice employees. There's nothing to complain about here

Everything is perfect here, very tasty food, friendly staff and a very nice atmosphere. It makes sense to reserve a table.

Really very good and tasty, sufficient portions, and taste A+. Almost like in Greece, thank you.

Great service, great food. Was there with my wife, some friends and a baby, and Thanos hosted us with kindness and patience. All the best!

Highly recommended!! Costas is a very friendly person..Staff is good and friendly, kitchen is very good!! Everything was delicious, and especially the Greek farmer's salad with good olive oil!!

Absolute recommendation because of the ambience, service and top products

Went on a day trip to Cochem and ended up here by chance. It was packed. But we still got a table for 2 people. The menu offers a large selection. We decided on a Bifteki and an Apollon plate. The portions are generous. We were thrilled with the quality and the taste. The service, even though the restaurant was very full, was very friendly. We always had a friendly word to say and also asked if everything was OK. But never intrusive. All in all a successful evening in a very nice and good restaurant.

Excellent cuisine, unbeatable service. The only mediocre thing, the croquettes.

If you're really hungry, this is the place to go. I had the Apollo plate. What I missed was a bit of tzatziki on the plate. The service was friendly and fast. We'll be happy to come back.

I ordered souvlaki for pickup today, and the meat was as tender as I've rarely seen it, top-notch! It came with fries, cucumber, tomato, onions, and salad, really good. During the 2-3 minute wait, I was also offered an ouzo, which I gratefully accepted and enjoyed, amazing! I highly recommend this restaurant.

After a strenuous day, a reward at the Greek restaurant was in order. The friendliness and wait time were absolutely acceptable. The main course, "gyros with fries/tzatziki," was not to our liking at all. Tasteless, served lukewarm, the plate overloaded with a huge portion of "meat." One dish was half-eaten, the other returned in its entirety. They asked if we were satisfied. But that didn't detract from the total bill. Too bad! No 10% tip, we rarely do that—today it's more than appropriate...that subsequently, a justified criticism is not accepted, and less-than-stellar reviews are responded to with lies and reversals of the facts confirms our opinion. By the way, the ouzo and coffee that were rejected were politely declined by their guests. Please only post reviews with 4 stars or more.

Akropolis Cochem – Lots of food, friendly service, but with small weaknesses We were warmly welcomed at the Acropolis in Cochem. As you would expect from Greeks, the portions were very generous - we had the Ermis plate and the Apollon plate, both of which tasted really good. The waiter was friendly, but seemed a bit confused or dodgy - that didn't cause any major problems, but it was noticeable. Unfortunately, the food ended up being quite greasy - there was even a small pool of fat on the plate, which somewhat spoiled the overall impression. Another point of criticism: A glass that was served to us was badly scratched and looked a bit outdated - you can expect a little more from a restaurant in a tourist location. The prices are in keeping with tourism – not cheap, but not exorbitant either. Overall, a typical Greek restaurant with nice service, plenty of food, but also some details that could be improved.

The food was very tasty and very filling. You will definitely be full. Personally, I prefer the gyros to be crispy, but that's definitely a matter of taste. Reservations are strongly recommended on Saturday.

We were there for the first time too. Unfortunately the food was boring that's why only one star. It's a shame Cochem in MG tastes great. Don't understand the reviews here. Where we went to. Greetings from Mönchengladbach.

The food was very tasty and sufficient! Nice atmosphere! Were very satisfied!!! We didn't have a reservation but still got a spot! Highly recommended.

Highly recommended. The food was very good, with very generous portions. The service was very attentive. For example, we once ordered a farmer's salad but without feta. We were immediately asked if the feta cheese could be brought to the table for others to share. It arrived immediately, beautifully presented like an appetizer... All four people in our group considered this Greek restaurant an absolute gem!

Fast and delicious food. The service was super nice. We got a spot even without a reservation. We were thrilled.

It was our first time eating there. The staff was very friendly and attentive, and everything was super clean. We opted for lunch. The food arrived very quickly and was excellent. We'll eat there again on our next visit to Cochem.

Delicious food. Friendly service. 😊

Everything is ok here. Nice staff. The food is very good. So, we really liked it and tasted it too. Price/performance fits.

Great food. Very nice staff. Absolutely recommended.

A beautiful restaurant with delicious, sumptuous food. Well prepared, prices OK and service very attentive and quick 😀

Had a delicious meal twice, admiration for the 2 hardworking hosts! Large portions One of the few restaurants that were open unfortunately

In my opinion the restaurant is very good

Nice food, nice service! Should come

As a spoiled Greek food enthusiast who doesn't think Greek restaurants are a fair representation of the Greek cuisine, I have to admit I was left extremely happy with the quality of the food. Excellent service was the cherry on top.

Excellent Greek cuisine. Very warm welcome. Don't hesitate.

What a good tent! Very neat inside, you walk in and don't expect to enter such a neat restaurant. Extensive Greek menu for very nice prices. Fast service and tremendous hospitality. Highly recommended!

Excellente adresse 😉. Nous avons été TRÈS bien accueillis. Un des seuls restaurants ouverts le lundi à cette période. La cuisine est très goûteuse. N’hésitez pas … 😉

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
