Ariston Restaurant in Frankfurt am Main

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.

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."

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.

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 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 ❤️👏👏

We only brought an excavator to the site

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

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

Upscale Italian restaurant. Great lunch, good dinner.

Excellent. Super fresh fish. Our favorite in Frankfurt.

They took a long time to serve.

I was there a feed days ago for a business dinner. We book for 20, when we arrived there we told them that we were 16 instead, and they said ok. They ask us to split into 2 tables, even if I asked to Stay together. We accepted. They ask us to choose a menu even if we were less. We accepted. The quality of the meat was really awful, nobody was able to eat that chewing-gum. At the end of the dinner they asked us to pay for 20 people and they said that the bad quality of the meat was not there fault. After that I decided to share this comment. Bad service, we waited hous Bad quality of the food, meat not eateable Bad behaviour, they literally stolen the amount of 4 meals The meat and the service affected the business dinner. A company in Utes customer to spend a relax evening eating good food and drinking good wine. There is definitevely not possibile.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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

Very nice restaurant with excellent & friendly service. Food quality is always high, same for drinks. For the level of quality the price is really good. I have been there repeatedly, mostly with business partners, and I never heard any complaint, only compliments (for the restaurant). Will I keep going there? Definitely!!

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

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.

Fantastic restaurant,, great staff and the best food I have ever had

Excellent food, me and my family loved it

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

A very chic restaurant, with very good food and wonderful service. From the starters to the main course, everything was delicious. We will come back in any case.

clean, cozy, pleasant service and delicious food

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

A wonderful restaurant worth a visit

Great customer service and delicious food

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

We both love Greece & Greek food. Such a beautiful restaurant & genuine hospitality! We loved the dips (spicy feta) & halloumi cheese with grilled veggies. Fiance really enjoyed his lamb with orzo & my large salad with grilled shrimp was fantastic! Sadly we were too full for dessert. Very nice gesture to receive 2 glasses of ouzo! 10 stars for us. Bonus: 2 minute walk from our Westin hotel!

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!!!

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 

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

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.

Yesterday we were at the Ariston in Frankfurt again. As always, the food was very tasty. The service from start to finish was super friendly and very professional. The prices have risen a little but where that is not the case. Unfortunately it's like that everywhere. We'll be back and thank you for the lovely evening.

Gehobener Preis, der Qualität angemessen. Sehr freundlicher Service.

Long-established noble Greek restaurant in a classic, stylish ambience. We hadn't been here for a few years and wanted to get a new impression. The service was very accommodating and we were able to sit at a table by the window with a view of the room. After studying the map, I noticed a significant increase in prices here too. Let's see how long and to what extent this will be accepted by the guests. For food: the four of us shared a starter platter for 2 people, which was completely sufficient. There were about 8 different mezes - beautifully presented and delicious. Suitable for 2 people as a main course and then ok at 34 euros. I then had braised lamb shank with Greek noodles. The knuckle came out super tender. But overall I would have liked more seasoning, the sauce that came with it was rather bland in taste, as were the noodles. Just pepper and salt couldn't do much. The ladies at the table had whole, grilled sea bream or loup de mer, which they were very happy with. We tried the two open red wines 0.2 for 9.50. Unfortunately I didn't remember the names. In any case, the second one tasted much better to us. An overall successful evening without hustle and bustle and noise in a nice ambience, with attentive service.

We were an announced company with pre-ordered food. Nevertheless, the children waited over 2 hours for their food and the adults even longer. The service was chaotic. The food was average at best. If you wanted to order more drinks, you had to practically beg for the waiter's attention. He just stood there most of the time. I'm sure that things aren't always as horrible and underground as this time, but that was by far the worst restaurant experience I've ever had in Frankfurt.

Great ambience, great food and very friendly staff. Always my pleasure.

Top Greek in Frankfurt. Upscale cuisine, interior with style, great service. The slightly higher price is absolutely justified. Ideal for a fancy meal with your partner or a business lunch.

Great atmosphere with lots of flowers, good service and good Greek food.

The restaurant is well appointed with traditional place settings and friendly and excellent service. Big thanks to Nico for looking after us so well. Highly recommend the Chios Mastiha Liquer as a digestif.

Leicht gehobener 'Grieche' mit sehr freundlichem, aufmerksamen Personal. Die Speisen sind liebevoll zubereitet und wenn das Restaurant voll ist, dauert es halt mal länger bis zum Genuss. Auch ist es dann sehr, sehr laut. Ansonsten: top.

Beautiful restaurant with polite employees, the food is excellent!

Schönes Ambiente!! Der Nachtisch im 3 Gänge Business Lunch Menu a 23 Euro (Mehlkuchen) habe ich nicht gegessen. Ansonsten war alles ok!

Amazing service, kind personnel, tasty food, great amosphere!

When I was on a business trip to Frankfurt, I decided I wanted to try a Greek restaurant that I had never been to before, so I visited there. Even though I had made a reservation, it seemed to be a popular restaurant that quickly filled up, probably because it was a Saturday. There were 9 of us, so we ate at a rather cramped table, but the food was delicious.

Tip top restaurant!! I've been here several times and have never been disappointed. Very friendly staff, very tasty food and good wines. You have to expect 50 euros per person for starter + main course + wine + drink but it's worth it. Always my pleasure! I am pleased from the bottom of my heart that there are still restaurants like this in downtown Frankfurt. Update after one year, November 19, 2022: Had lunch twice this week and have to say: best lunch menu in the city center. Unreserved recommendation from me! I don't know how the restaurant manages to offer a three-course menu of high quality for 16.50 euros, but I'm happy that they manage to do it! Update after one year, February 18, 2024: Was here for lunch on a normal Sunday after a long time and have to reduce my rating to three stars. My reasons: 1. The prices have increased significantly without the quality or ambience increasing. 2. For every dish I had the feeling that the value for me personally was significantly 1/3 lower than the price asked. 3. 8.50 euros for a 0.75L mineral water bottle is very reasonable. If you don't have budget problems, I can still recommend the Ariston Restaurant as a "good" restaurant in the city center. Otherwise, the lunch menu on weekdays is recommended, although it has also been available for significantly cheaper in the past. There are good alternatives in the city center in the 20 euro range.

Really Greek food! We enjoyed our dinner there and everything was delicious. As we went on Tuesday, we were the only ones in the restaurant, with another couple. The staff was quite friendly and helpful ☺️

Everything was top. Prices for meze generally quite high but except that all fine. I would be happy to visit again. 😊 Very friendly staff, I would recommend everyone who likes Mediterranean cuisine.

We were there with a larger group. Overall, the shop is quite narrow, loud and hectic (at the time of the trade fair), but it can also be described as lively and authentic. The service was very friendly and seemed relaxed despite the large crowds and was in the mood for a few jokes/sayings. The waiting times for food and drinks were completely okay and the food itself was really delicious. Aromatic, fresh, not too greasy/hearty (as we sometimes know it). The prices for the food are ambitious, but definitely reasonable for what you get. The only drawback this evening (complaining at a high level) is the selection of vegetarian options - here you basically have to limit yourself to the starters, which were also very tasty. Overall, a clear recommendation!

Good service, high quality and tasty food, normal prices. There was a foreign unpleasant smell in the hall.

Before I recommend this restaurant to anyone, I would advise everyone to buy chicken skewers in the supermarket, throw them on the pan, serve them yourself and then eat them. The taste of the self-fried chicken skewers, left in the kitchen for an hour, would get a better rating from you than the Sovlaki in this shop. After about 45 minutes of waiting, all but one of my friends and I received their food, which received a satisfactory rating of 1 out of 3. The meat was firm and inedible. The staff was rude, slow and very inattentive to orders. One of my friends only got his food after I and two others had almost finished eating it. Not recommended!

Not bad, but personal brings me the wrong food. Not expensive place.

Cozy little restaurant. Food was very good, service perfect!

Waiting outside like a dog even though we had a table reserved. The food came cold after waiting 40 minutes and it was so loud inside that you couldn't communicate normally

Despite a reservation, we waited 15 minutes at the door without a word of apology - we only got to our table by constantly asking. The service was visibly overwhelmed by the masses of visitors. Totally loud inside: Live piano is well-intentioned, but the volume prevents conversations. There were also loud groups singing Italian songs and individuals using the restaurant as an opportunity to show off their solo singing talents... The first meal came after more than an hour - in our group everything finally came after almost two hours, so eating together was not possible. Unfortunately, the staff is not aware of the poor performance. Food tasted good, but overpriced.

Really not recommended. - Waiter unfriendly. My rump steak was English, although ordered medium well and even returned to the kitchen once. Still came back a maximum medium rare. A tip of 10% will be charged without asking. When asked, the reason was: This is how it is done there during the trade fair because many foreign guests come to Frankfurt... No lemon with fish...

Very good quality food with reasonable price

We have been coming back for many years. Would never be disappointed. Very nice service. Food authentic and very tasty. Clear recommendation! And the price-performance ratio is absolutely fine.

Sehr gutes Essen, nette und aufmerksame Bedienung, angenehmes Ambiente, u.a. mit Stoffservierten und eingedeckten Tischen.

Einer der besten Griechen in Frankfurt,geschmacklich ,frische ,Service einfach super und das seit mindestens 10 ahre.

Very good greek restaurant in Frankfurt, close to Frankfurt Messe. Nice staff, although there appeared to be a problem with our table, and they ended up placing 6 people in a table originally for 4. No harm done though, except the occasional extra work to fit all plates on the table. A bit noisy but that's because it was crowded. I had the Moussaka and it was very good. Book in advance because it's highly sought after!

Das Restaurant ist immer berechtigt voll, denn das Essen ist immer sehr gut.

Essen ist in Ordnung, aber nicht super. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist für mich nicht ok.
