Ariston Restaurant in Frankfurt am Main

We found it while looking for a different Greek restaurant during the Frankfurt fair nights. We were forced to make a reservation due to the busyness of the fair period. The place is very spacious and stylish, but the services were a little late, perhaps due to the busyness. Some appetizers were far from the general tastes. Generally successful. The price is a little expensive.

A very elegant restaurant with Greek cuisine. A bit overpriced for the food.

We were there on December 31, 2024 and it was very full. Thanks to the reservation we also got our table. The food was great. Service also took a little longer, but that's normal for an evening like this. The ambience was great, but I deducted a star here because I thought we might hear some Greek music, see a plate show or see something else from the Greek language. Nevertheless, it was a very nice evening. Thank you very much. PS: The expense was only so high because we had a large bottle of Ouzo (approx. 90 euros).

Excellent in all respects. Very authentic creative Greek cuisine. All starters and dishes were very tasty. The service was great and the staff was also very friendly.

5 years ago I rated the Ariston with 4 stars, but after yesterday's visit, December 19, 24, I unfortunately have to reduce this to 2 stars. The reason for this is that the prices are now way over the top and bear no relation to the food. My last visit was probably about a year and a half ago, and I already noticed a significant price increase, but it was still within limits. Yesterday the baby calamares, which were much better in the past for a whopping €27.50, and a glass of open red wine for a cheeky €12.50. The price for the dish Smirneika, consisting of 3 small minced meat rolls in tomato sauce and feta cheese, is also way over the top at €24.50. The friendly and customer-oriented service of the staff is positive. However, the pricing is to be criticized and I see it as pure profit optimization for the owner(s) of Ariston. I travel abroad a lot, I like to eat in good restaurants, so I can easily compare and distinguish between good value for money and price gouging.

Great restaurant, fish and meat mix platters were amazing. Tarama is a must try if you like caviar. Not too many but pretty good wine selection, also.

The restaurant has a great atmosphere, especially in the evenings it is very lively. We tried two recommended dishes and both were excellent. The dessert was also delicious.

The food is very tasty and the atmosphere is really appealing. Portions relatively small. Service staff, sometimes overwhelmed and somewhat unfriendly.

Fine, elegant, upscale Greek restaurant. Great atmosphere and very good food!

Wonderful place, we went without a reservation because the restaurant where we reserved left us without a table and it was WONDERFUL. Very delicious food and better service

Good food in a very nice atmosphere

I love this restaurant, I've been coming here for years, the food is always excellent and the waiters are very friendly.

The food was nice. However, the staff clearly cannot manage when there is a large table. We were a group of eight and the restaurant was less than half full. There was a long wait in-between courses, with mains being brought out at separate times. One guest was still waiting for their main dish when others had finished eating! Wrong food was also brought to our table (which sat for a few minutes) before it was taken away to be served at another table! This wasn’t very professional. Maybe it was just a bad day.

Great food and service. We loved the greek salad and souvlaki.

Very good, fresh and fine. The fish dishes, especially the daily specials, are highly recommended. The service is professional, courteous and “noiseless”.

The food was perfect. The service was excellent and the restaurant is located in a very convenient place within the city. It was easy to find a place to park in the near parking lot.

Hervorragendes Bohemian Lokal - warmherzige Atmosphäre

We came in and were allowed to choose our seat, we were then ignored for a few minutes until we finally got the menu, but the young waitress who joined us later was very helpful! The food was very disappointing, the price was definitely not justified, the atmosphere was inviting!

Service nett, könnte aufmerksamer sein, Preise deutlich höher als vor einem Jahr

The meal was quality. Small mix in the vintages of wines that personally I would have preferred them to avoid. Quality service otherwise. There were hundreds of us, the place ended up being very noisy.

Excellent service, food and ambiance. We loved everything about the experience and will definitely be back again. The servers were friendly and helpful with food choices! Thank you!

If you want Greek food in Frankfurt, this is the place! I was introduced to this and visited! The waiter was friendly and talked to us, so it was a fun meal.

The food was very good - nothing beats Greek grill art. The salads were well balanced and the grilled vegetables were well prepared. Unfortunately everything was borderline warm. When it came to service, I had the dubious pleasure of having constantly changing service staff, while the boss was sitting at the next table planning his orders. That's probably how I met a lot of people from the service. The majority are very nice, but also very demanding. Shy people can easily be overlooked - at least that doesn't happen to me. I would give the service team 4.5 stars - but I didn't like the constantly changing contact person. I'm not normally like that - on the day of my visit (Friday 2 p.m.) I found it very annoying. But I would eat there again at any time - the food is exactly my taste and if it's borderline warm again, I'll just ask you to warm it up next time.

The food was amazing, really tasty, close to Greek authentic cuisine. I enjoyed everything I took. The staff was super kind and friendly to us which we loved it Don’t miss it. Give it a try and you won’t regret it

Price performance is not okay in my opinion. My eggplant was hard, you couldn't eat it, and the inedible stalk was left on. Found a hair in the food and my order came out wrong. The main courses therefore didn't arrive at the same time, which meant I had to watch and wait while I ate. A bottle of water €8.50 is embarrassingly expensive (0.7l). I wouldn't come back, there are better Greek restaurants in Frankfurt.

Cozy environment! Excellent service!

Longer waiting time for food but excellent quality 👌

Sehr nette Location, gut zum Treffen mit Freunden. Guter Service und das Moussaka ein Traum!

Insanely good lunch at fair prices, that was once upon a time. Meanwhile, the prices for lunch have been increased dramatically. I paid 22.00 euros for my meatloaf with a good starter and a dessert that was too cold. My mother had fried zucchini and eggplant, still half cooked, for 12.50. We left 50.00 euros for lunch. The worst thing was that the chef was alone and I had to wait 45 minutes for my main course. Unfortunately we won't be coming anymore.

Sensationally delicious Greek food in a great ambience. Even if the prices are rather high, the food is definitely worth the money.

And when you think you've already experienced everything, then come an evening in Frankfurt at the "Edel" Greek restaurant. First of all: the evening, a birthday party, was funny and fun, although the food was a complete disaster and completely wrong in price. 1,300€ for 12 people, something should be delivered for that. 34€ for the smallest grill plate in the world. Oh, how I love “Ach Niko Ach” on the Kudamm. Back to the Ariston: 2 hours between poor starters and main course, only to sell completely overpriced drinks, that's annoying. But it wasn't all bad, we liked the piano accompaniment throughout the evening, which is a bit small if you're hungry and want Greek food. All in all, by no means a recommendation.

Big mistake. Make an U turn and head somewhere else. They don’t care about you or even your business. 25 minutes to get a first attention of the waitress. Another 40 to actually start eating. And the restaurant was not that busy. And the food was only regular and pricey for what it delivers. Go back and save your day.

It was unique experience. Started with medzes and continued with main course and at last Mastika. Thanks for everything cheff!

Very tasty food and the service staff is very attentive and polite.

full 5 stars / for the tasty dishes (fish soup / baked aubergine / baby calamari / veal cheeks / baby lamb carees / Greek red wine ... for the very attentive service and the beautiful ambience / We will be back

"The Ariston restaurant in Frankfurt disappointed our expectations a bit. The prices are quite high compared to the quality of the food offered. Furthermore, the waiting time for the dishes was really long, even though the place was not too crowded. An experience that could have been better with faster service and a more balanced quality-price ratio."

Very friendly staff, everything is very friendly and it’s beautiful inside. Very ordinary food that is clearly not worth the money. I've been to more than 30 Greek restaurants in Germany, and this one definitely comes at the end of the list in terms of food taste.

We've eaten there a few times and spend a lot of money. At some point we called and asked for the recipe for the bread, and the woman was very rude, said “that’s enough!” and hung up. When we called again, we asked if she really wanted to leave things like that with loyal customers and she said “yes”. We don't go there anymore.

We were there after a long day at the trade fair without a reservation and were not turned away. the food was very good, stylish, elegant ambience, very friendly service. It was my colleague's birthday, which was celebrated with a delicious soufflé (best ever). Thank you very much and warm greetings from Turkey ❤️👏👏

Good restaurant with high quality of food and preparation. Fine Greece experience with a good wine list.

We only brought an excavator to the site

A pleasant visit with excellent service, flavorful dishes, and refreshing drinks. Highly recommended!

Excellent. Super fresh fish. Our favorite in Frankfurt.

Upscale Italian restaurant. Great lunch, good dinner.

They took a long time to serve.

Estuve allí hace días para una cena de negocios. Reservamos por 20 , cuando llegamos allí les dijimos que éramos 16 en su lugar, y dijeron que sí. Nos piden que nos dividamos en 2 mesas, incluso si pedí que nos quedáramos juntos. Aceptamos. Nos piden que elijamos un menú aunque fuéramos menos. Aceptamos. La calidad de la carne era horrible, nadie era capaz de comer ese chicle. Al final de la cena nos pidieron que pagáramos por 20 personas y dijeron que la mala calidad de la carne no era culpa suya. Después de eso decidí compartir este comentario. Mal servicio, esperamos hous Mala calidad de la comida, carne no comible Mal comportamiento, literalmente robaron la cantidad de 4 comidas La carne y el servicio afectaron la cena de negocios. Una empresa en Utes cliente para pasar una tarde de relax comiendo buena comida y bebiendo buen vino. Definitivamente no es posible.

Spectacular grilled veal chops and scrumptious grilled vegetables. Very nice service delicious wine. I would definitely return

My husband and I had a great evening, the food was great and the service was very attentive and friendly

We had a quite unpleasant experience despite the expectations we had. It was a business dinner for 15 peoples. We booked a table for 15, and on arrival, we were given a table of 10. The manager proposed to cramp two people into one seat which seemed very uncomfortable to me. She insisted by arguing that everyone else did so. (Why should I oblige myself to the standard of others? And I challenge yourself to eat comfortably without being able to stretch your arms.) The service was chaotic and super long. Between the arrival of the first main course a and the last main course of the table, it took 20 mins. The first plats were already cold. And our guests who first had their courses had to eat cold food. The manager explain that the service was long coz they were fully booked that night. (So if you don’t have the capacity to render a quality service, just don’t accommodate so many people. ) The beverage is very diluted. The food is basic not really authentic Greek. 5€ per person for the fork and knife and napkin. Obligation to pay 5/10/15% of tip in the end if you pay by card. Overall, this restaurant is overpriced given its quality. The manager was unpleasant to deal with. Service quality pretty low. I would highly recommend to NOT come here.

Very nice restaurant! We were able to celebrate a wedding here. The food was outstanding! The staff were very friendly and quick despite the many people! Very important for a hot summer: the restaurant has air conditioning! That was very pleasant!

Greek restaurant and the food is very delicious, especially the fish

We received a very warm welcome and great service even at 10 p.m. The food was very tasty and we enjoyed it very much. We particularly recommend the Rosé, the name of which is very long and unfortunately I couldn't remember it. Everything was perfect and we were simply more than satisfied. Would love to come back. Thanks Ariston!

Well nothing at the moment to say. 🙄🙄🙄🙄😏😏😏😏😏😏

High-quality food and a great ambience, but a lot is asked for. All in all, a good, but not perfect, price-performance ratio. The already very good service could have been even more attentive in one place or another.

Great food and a great place with good atmosphere. Would recomend

Good food, friendly staff, quick service 10/10 💯💯💯

Restaurante muy agradable con un servicio excelente y amable. La calidad de los alimentos es siempre alta, lo mismo para las bebidas. Por el nivel de calidad el precio es realmente bueno. He estado allí repetidamente, sobre todo con socios comerciales, y nunca escuché ninguna queja, solo cumplidos (por el restaurante). ¿Seguiré yendo allí? ¡Definitivamente!

I must say it was an awesome experience. ❤️❤️

During my trip I found this place and couldn’t be happier with the decision we made as a group, the food was amazing, service was excellent and the Atmosphere was great. Definitely worth the money and time we spent in there, I recommend everyone give them a visit for some authentic Greek cuisine.

Very good atmosphere, good food and the service was absolutely fantastic!

Excellent food, me and my family loved it

Happy welcome atmosphere and staff at hand ✊.Food excellent prepared for your own taste

Amazing place to eat, everyone was very nice and very good food

A wonderful restaurant worth a visit

Great restaurant, service was super nice and the food was simply wonderful

Excellent fish starters. Nice place, a little crowded but that's normal during the Achema Fair. I recommend it

I was a guest in this restaurant yesterday and was greeted very friendly by the waiter (Triaxxx) and also received top service. But while I was waiting for my second guest, I had to listen the whole time in my native language as the boss, in a very humiliated manner, personally attacked her two waiters (T and N.) with the worst words because they had private conversations lead over their weekend, that you get your salary to work and do things that have nothing to do with the shop. Even complained that one of the waiters was constantly touching the tablecloths because he was overweight and he had to be more careful with his butt. It was so uncomfortable for me that I wanted to get up and leave but my customer had priority 1. Although the waiter said several times that there was a gentleman sitting at the table who was also Greek, she didn't stop mentally trying to finish her off at the two waiters. Respect to the waiters and the company culture is at one of the worst levels there I'm just saying the poor waiters!!!

Wir waren zum Mittag dort und haben das beste Fisch-Mittagsmenue in Frankfurt bekommen. 23 Euro für drei Gänge absolut fair und super lecker.

The fact that the four people in service (for an estimated 80 people) have been here since 2012 speaks for itself! I still stick with it today: 5 stars Quality, atmosphere, staff (also in the kitchen), continuous opening times are simply perfect. Hilariously hidden in the far corner of the city center and yet on the “Tigerpalast Highway” (opposite the regional court, the people in custody next door probably won’t know it) with a parking garage diagonally opposite. Today again for a cheap, high-quality 3-course lunch for me with turbot (23 €) and all sorts of mezedes (starters) for my 3 companions. We tried all of each. Price-performance is unmatched! We don't understand why the house is still associated with Ex-Binding (Schöfferhofer and Selters yuck, but Radeberger Pils at 0.3 l for €4 is ok). That's why (and not only because of that) we like to grab the Greek house wine “Alpha Malag” (nowhere to be found) 0.2 l for 7.50 or the delicious Lillet for 11 €. We would have loved to sing the Flea Waltz on the piano because we were in such a good mood. But in the end we didn't want to harm the noble house...

A chic, family-run Greek restaurant with authentic, very fine cuisine. If you're looking for gyros here, you're in the wrong place. The service was really friendly and extremely competent. But suddenly there was a lot going on and you had to wait a bit. But all in all a very nice evening and recommended.

Hervorragendes Essen, Service äußerst aufmerksam, hat uns eine wirklich vorzügliche Vorspeisenplatte für 2 zusammengestellt und der Rotwein war auch super. Preis ist klar etwas gehobener, aber jeden € wert. :) Alles in Allem kann ich es besten Gewissens jedem empfehlen.

top restaurant, great lunch menu

Totally overpriced mediocre food

Nos encanta Grecia y la comida griega. Un restaurante tan hermoso y hospitalidad genuina! Nos encantaron los dips (feta picante) y el queso halloumi con verduras a la parrilla. Prometido realmente disfrutó de su cordero con orzo y mi ensalada grande con camarones a la parrilla fue fantástico! Tristemente estábamos demasiado llenos para el postre. Muy buen gesto para recibir 2 vasos de ouzo! 10 estrellas para nosotros. Bono: 2 minutos a pie de nuestro hotel Westin!

Our last meal in Frankfurt before flying back to Florida tomorrow We both love Greece & Greek food. Beautiful restaurant & genuine hospitality- we felt very welcomed! The dips- houlloumi cheese with grilled veggies - spicy feta…oh my!! Lamb shank for my fiancé- outstanding & I had the delicious salad with large grilled shrimp. Too full for dessert & oh so nice to be offered 2 complimentary glasses of ouzo. What a treat!!

Das Essen ist zwar gut, aber in solch einem Restaurant das Speisen zu gehobenen Preisen anbietet erwartet man eine gediegene Atmosphäre und keine asiatische Reisgruppen, die sich nicht zu benehmen wissen und alle anderen Gäste mit ihrer Lautstärke stören, sogar den Abend verderben können. Ich erwarte von solch einem Restaurant doch etwas mehr.

Will never return. The service was so slow, We arrived at 630pm and our mains came out about 830! The beef cheek was so salty, and so was the chicken.

I really enjoyed the small grilled calamari and the main course. Typical Greek flavors and real Greek spices that can be felt in the meat. Very tasty and traditional. The appetizer platter is a combination of several dishes, but I wasn't impressed with the taste. Although the eggplant salad tasted great. The waiter was very friendly! The restaurant is Greek style, clean and tidy. I will definitely come back to try the appetizers again separately.

Very good food, very nice atmosfhere, kind people, Gongratulations for the nice service, will visit soon again, all family is huppy

Great Greek food. First courses are hearty and authentic

Food was OK. Not amazing. We took the baklava for dessert, it was big now

Essen ist reichlich und sehr gut. Service ist auch sehr aufmerksam und nett.

Great food and very nice staff!!!

Tasty but the price-performance ratio is no longer right.

Eines mit Abstand der besten griechischen Restaurants in Frankfurt super nette Herren die einen bedienen zuvorkommend und höflich Jedes Mal aufs Neue bin ich sehr positiv beeindruckt 

A delicious Greek restaurant. The food, the ambience, the service are all excellent. If I come to Frankfurt again, I will choose this restaurant again.

Good ambience and very kind staff. Food was really good and tasty.
