Bolero Gießen in Gießen

An absolutely delightful restaurant.

We went without a reservation, were greeted warmly, and quickly got a table. The service was very friendly and attentive. The food was well-prepared and, importantly for me, it was also piping hot. We were also asked several times if we needed anything else or if everything was alright. This restaurant is highly recommended. Thanks to the team, keep up the good work! 👍

Delicious cocktails, good food, fast and friendly service, and all at a mega fair price!

The service is excellent, the food is perfectly fine, but it's not a life-changing experience.

Beautiful location, very friendly staff, but overpriced. Salad with goat cheese €15.90 😱

We received very friendly and courteous service. The food was delicious. It was also beautifully presented and served. We were at the Bolero for a special occasion, so we spent a little more money. It was a very nice evening. Appropriate for the special occasion. We were very satisfied. Of course, the Bolero is at capacity on a weekend evening, and accordingly loud. Nevertheless, it was very nice.

The food is delicious, the ambiance is great, especially the lighting, but the prices are ridiculously high. €22.50 for a chicken salad. €15.90 for a simple wrap. It really makes you wonder what kind of world we live in, charging such prices. It's a shame! It would otherwise be a restaurant you could have visited more often, but not at these prices.

Romantic and tranquil atmosphere, wonderful drinks and food.

The food is above average, but it's tasty, but nothing that will blow you away. The service is first-class. Very friendly, quick, and always checks the empty drinks (not a given these days). The room was packed to capacity, making it very cramped and also very noisy. Nevertheless, it's a beautifully decorated restaurant with a wide selection of food and drinks.

Apparently, the head waiter is disinterested in his job. When I asked if I had a table, I only received a rude reply. When no one came after 15 minutes, I raised my hand, and instead of good service, I got a wave back and the whole thing was made ridiculous. Apparently, Bolero no longer needs good service.

Thank you for the lovely evening with you. Service was very friendly. Open to helpful requests. We'll be back.

I've rarely had such an unfriendly experience. I sat there for over 15 minutes without anyone attending to me. When I asked why no one was coming, I only received the rude reply that I should "go in myself." That's absolutely disrespectful to customers – you wait and are simply ignored instead of being greeted in a friendly manner or given advice. I've truly never experienced anything like that! If you expect customer service, you're definitely in the wrong place.

We went there for the first time today. We received a super friendly welcome and were shown to our tables. We tried various cocktails, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. They were all truly excellent 👍🏼 The food was also really delicious, and the portions were reasonable value for money 👍🏼 Where I was a bit dissatisfied were the restrooms; I don't understand cleanliness in the slightest. But now I come to the reason I wanted to write this review in the first place: the ladies who served us at our table were so incredibly friendly!! Always smiling, especially the lady who had Renee on her sign! She truly made our day!

Great location, friendly service and delicious food, would love to go back!

Super light apple strudel with vanilla sauce and a very nice waitress named Renée. It was my first time there today and I'll be back 🥰

We were there for lunch on Sunday. A fantastic restaurant with very friendly staff and excellent food. All of our special requests were accommodated and fulfilled. We'd love to come back!

Great restaurant in downtown Giessen. Delicious food and friendly service. The burgers are especially recommended; we always enjoy coming here.

Very nice restaurant in the heart of the city. Fast service, great city atmosphere

Very cozy place, very tidy and clean. Super friendly service. We ordered the daily pasta special. Very tasty and reasonably priced. We would come back anytime if we're in the area.

I went to Mexican food for the first time today with my best friends, and it was fantastic. We got a table without a reservation, and the staff was friendlier than I've seen in a long time. Thank you very much. And the food was fantastic. The dibbas were amazing, and the aioli was the best I've ever had. Even though I drive almost two hours, I'll be back next month to enjoy this fantastic food, the cocktails, and the extremely friendly staff. Thank you very much for a new dining experience, and I'm always happy to come back.

Great cocktails, delicious food, friendly staff, great location.... gladly again

I only had a quick bite: pumpkin soup and a side salad. Both were delicious, and the service was excellent. The location on the square in front of the town hall is fine.

Review of a visit to Bolero Gießen I'm generally an optimistic person and not a fan of excessive criticism. However, my visit to Bolero Gießen was a thoroughly disappointing experience, one I can't leave uncommented. The food didn't seem fresh or lovingly prepared in any way. The taste was cafeteria-level, lacking any claim to quality. The service staff seemed bored, disinterested, and clearly uninterested in providing guests with a pleasant experience—let alone showing a hint of hospitality. What was particularly irritating was that we were offered our "last round" at 10:00 PM—in a restaurant that's supposed to be a place for socializing. But that wasn't enough: Shortly thereafter, the song "Who Turned the Clock?" started playing at an absurd volume. Such a clumsy and unpleasant method of getting guests to leave is simply disrespectful—especially at a time when the restaurant industry should be fighting for every customer. While many restaurateurs are fighting with great commitment, passion, and creativity to keep their businesses afloat, the Bolero Gießen seems like an emotionless restaurant factory where guests are simply rushed through and sent off as quickly as possible. For me, it was my first visit—and certainly my last. An experience that leaves me speechless. What a pity for the lost time and money. Retrain your service staff

See and be seen... A great location to start the evening. The food and drinks were excellent. The service was also great. Everyone was friendly and attentive.

The cocktails and beer are okay, the food (a salad) was good. The atmosphere is see and be seen.

Food was nothing special and the waitress was a trainee and she couldn’t really

We really enjoy the lunch menu here; they offer a lot for a small price and the portions are tasty and large.

Extremely unfriendly service, no tap water despite being extremely thirsty. Completely profit-driven! Not recommended.

Simply amazing! The whole atmosphere is fantastic. We were there spontaneously and were really pleasantly surprised. We were there for cocktails, and they were absolutely delicious! Clean glasses, great value for money, and super friendly staff. If we're ever in Giessen again, we'll definitely stop by 👍

It was my first time there and I felt like I was on vacation. A great selection of cocktails and good service.

Nice atmosphere, both inside and out, with friendly and quick service. The food was tasty, with plenty of variety on the menu, but unfortunately everything was a bit under-seasoned; we're more used to that from Mexican cuisine. Nevertheless, we'll be back because it's a cool place in a good location in Giessen.

We were there to test out the restaurant for a birthday party with around 30 people. The behavior of the waitress outside - a lady with dark/black hair, cut in a bob - was very rude and impertinent. We found it almost insulting. We stuck to the drinks and didn't even mention the birthday. What a shame! We are very sociable customers and have worked in the catering industry ourselves, but this is completely unacceptable. It wasn't busy. When you are ignored for 15 minutes, even though there is hardly anyone there and the waitress is standing outside the whole time, and then you dare to raise your hand and are told angrily and in such an unfriendly tone that you have already been seen... You don't have to be treated like royalty, but as a customer you can expect a certain level of politeness. After that it didn't get any better - in fact it got worse. Especially when you then experience other customers being treated very kindly and constantly being asked if you have any other requests. Neighboring tables—ours was always avoided. Was it because of my dark hair? I don't want to accuse anyone of anything, but it was very noticeable and unpleasant. Never again.

Absolutely recommendable! Very friendly staff, great location, and great food. What more could you want?

The staff were attentive and friendly; mistakes happen, and I can overlook them. But the decor and food also give the impression of a desire to serve but not (yet) mastery. As if the place had only recently begun to gain experience in the restaurant business. The place has potential, but I can only give the food three stars. The main course was tasteless, mushicker than necessary, and almost certainly came from a microwave. The salad was already dead and limp, the fruit consisted of fruit ends, and so on and so forth... but maybe I just picked the wrong day. All the best, I won't be back for a few years.

Super tasty food, very friendly service, varied menu, decent portions. What more could you want!? Great!

Ma is good at Mexican food. The cocktails are delicious, even the non-alcoholic ones.

It was very good, the fries were super tasty and the burger too

Always happy. A highlight, especially in the evening sun. The cocktails are reasonably priced with very little alcohol, but taste good. The bottom line is that I always enjoy being here.

You're breaking out in a sweat in here Then you languish and order the grill plate and it's like this, hardly any meat but the main thing is a potato that's bigger than a paving stone #ridiculous

Very tasty Mexican dishes as well as various burgers and bowls. The cocktails were also very good. You can also sit outside and look out over Berliner Platz. In any case, we would love to come back.

Delicious and large buffet. Nice attentive waiter. Nice ambience.

We were served on April 9th ​​by the employee Lea. Thank you for the worst and most unfriendly service we could have received.

I really enjoy going to Bolero. Very tasty food, great ambience and super friendly waiters. Thank you Alexander for looking after our chaotic team so well

We recently ate at Bolero. It was delicious, and our server, Reneé, was very friendly and accommodating. Kudos to her.☺️

Unfortunately our group reservation was not found and after repeated questions we were given a table for eight with 10 people. Not a good start... The food and cocktails were delicious and the atmosphere was good. Unfortunately, the evening also ended negatively: A pregnant friend had put her legs up on a free chair because she has health problems. She was warned not to do this and was not given any alternative offers of help. Sorry, doesn't work at all!

After a busy day at the trade fair, round off the evening here with a delicious burger. Super delicious... anytime again...

It's a nice, larger location, with friendly and nice service staff. I've only been there to have a drink, the cocktails and long drinks are always very tasty, and I can also recommend the lemonades. I ate there for the first time yesterday and I have to say it was delicious, but it didn't blow me away. I had the enchilada chicken, three wraps filled with vegetable ragout, tomato sauce and chicken and gratinated with cheese. Personally, I thought there was a little bit of chicken and the tomato sauce and vegetable ragout were a lot in proportion. For the price of 16.50 euros, I think it's a bit too expensive. But what is relatively cheap these days?! I can't complain otherwise, we sat in a cozy corner, the staff was friendly and the raspberry mint lemonade was delicious.

Eating is stable, a waitress thinks you're stupid and is passive aggressive.

A very nice and friendly team. The food was good and the price-performance ratio was okay. Gladly again

The food was really tasty and the service was very friendly and quick. We also liked the location. Only the reception could have been a little warmer. Otherwise highly recommended.

Simply always beautiful, in the overall package 💯✔️

That was my second visit. I actually didn't want to go there again because the burger was so dry the last time I was there and I wasn't really full from the portion. This time I tried the bowl and what can I say -> super delicious! That's why I would come again. Service was also good although it was already quite busy.

Food good, tasteful and attractively prepared. The waiting time was also great. The kitchen understood and implemented its job. The service was unfortunately overwhelmed, despite the guest room being only moderately attended. Over 10 minutes until someone came to take the drinks. After the food was served, there was no service in the area for a long time. No dessert or coffee was offered, so they are satisfied with the sales. The table was served by 3 different waiters and asked twice how you wanted to pay. A pinch of friendliness at the very end would do the whole thing a lot of good.

We were not satisfied with the service... We had dinner here tonight celebrating a friend's birthday. We brought a birthday cake and gave it to the waiter to bring to the table after dinner to surprise our friend.! But unfortunately the waiter simply placed the birthday cake IN THE PACKAGING!!!!(the way we gave it to him) on the table. That was rude and embarrassing for us.

A family friendly sports bar with great menu and beer selection. Staff really friendly and spoke English which helps if you can't speak German.

I used to hear from my friends that the hamburger has a very strong meat taste, which they didn't like, but I tried it anyway. In fact, the hamburger really has a very strong meat flavor. I didn't like him either. I'll go again, but I won't eat a hamburger this time. The atmosphere and service were really very good.

Nice and courteous staff. You will be served quickly. Good and tasty burgers. Very centrally located. Large outdoor seating area. Clean sanitary facilities. Highly recommended.

We were there at 5pm between 2 films. Totally nice service and delicious food and lemonades. Maybe you should make a reservation, we only had one hour, but that suited us.

Delicious cocktails 🍸 Really fruity. Between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. the cocktails are €8.50 The food is delicious

I have been to Bolero many times and have always been satisfied. I ordered a burger and chili cheese fries, which came with a ready-made cheese sauce that came from a tube and tasted like a disaster. Unfortunately the sauce was also found on the burger... Using a ready-made, cold “cheese sauce” for that price is not appropriate and is really a shame. Unfortunately, it was also very drafty and cold where we were, which didn't make us feel comfortable. We couldn't change because the restaurant was full. Positive: The service was very good, attentive and friendly. I remembered the Bolero better and am very disappointed.

We only had cocktails and no food, the others' plates looked good and the menu also had lots of goodies, so we'll come back for dinner too. Cocktails from a selection of vineyards and hand shaken so no ready-made stuff, tasty and ok at the price

Fresh and tasty dishes, prices are OK, reservations are an advantage, it tends to be full at times

I haven't eaten so well in a long time. Great service, great food 🔥

Absolute disaster, impossible, underground food!!! At most, have a drink and then think about something!!!

We ended up here spontaneously before going to the cinema and were lucky to get a table without prior reservation. The store was very busy, so I would definitely make a reservation in advance in the future. The cocktails (non-alcoholic) were delicious. The portions of food tend to be too large for our standards. It tasted good. I would particularly like to highlight the location and the service.

Very great place! We go here more often because the Bolero is very centrally located. Directly above a parking garage and below the cinema. Meeting friends for food and drinks or to start the evening is perfect! The food is always delicious, the cocktails are great and the service leaves nothing to be desired. The Bolero can be recommended for everyone.

Attentive service, changing daily offers, lunchtime seats are also available without a reservation

Very rich and delicious Christmas brunch. We were here as a family of 11 on Christmas Day and were very satisfied with the offerings, the service and the ambience. We liked it so much that we will come back. The price/performance ratio was really fair.

We have been regular customers here for many years since it opened. What is very positive is that there is a very wide range of food on offer and everything is prepared very tasty. The cocktails are also very successful, only topped by the bar on Plockstrasse. Red wine selection excellent. The only thing that still has room for improvement is the staff; I still experienced the brilliant times with Jorgo, Tatti, Sey and Tommy. The music is better now 😉

Food was ok, a little expensive for my taste but the ambience is nice.

😡Food poisoning for free!😡 Well, I've seen a lot of restaurants, but this beats everything, in a negative sense. I've eaten there twice now, the first time the food seemed very grubby and not fresh!! The second time I thought to myself, maybe I exaggerated and went again. Even the second time, the food came so quickly that it simply couldn't be fresh. With zich dishes on the menu, full guests and lack of staff. I had stomach cramps after my meal and was still nauseous 2 days later. The food is probably warmed up, it is finished products or the food is expired... That can't be possible, at these prices?! The health department urgently needs to take a look!!!

The food is delicious and the atmosphere is nice too

Large selection of cocktails, extensive menu. The service is friendly and prompt. We like to go here with our son as they also serve delicious non-alcoholic cocktails.

The cheeseburgers at Bolero can only be recommended, the service is also top and the employees including the boss are very friendly to the guests. I will go here more often Simply recommended

I lived in Giessen for about eight years and this was one of my absolute favorite places. I now live about an hour away and was recently there again after a long time. And what can I say, it's just perfect, the food, the menu, the atmosphere there in the evenings. The waiters are super friendly, the cocktails and food are perfectly served and very, very tasty. You really can't compare it to anything else in the region. I will come back again and again really five stars for this excellent restaurant. ❤️

We had dinner there shortly before an event. It was a poem. I had rump steak with a side dish. I've never had anything so delicious and delicious!!! Eaten. Chapeau 🎩 🤩 again immediately. Staff ultra nice 👍

A very cozy and clean restaurant. The food is fantastic and the service is super friendly.

We were in the congress hall today and had previously looked for a restaurant online. It's been a long time since we've eaten such a great burger and super tasty chili fries. The pumpkin chili soup and the garlic bread were also very tasty. The service was very attentive and super friendly. The ambience with the subtle lighting and furnishings invites you to linger. Absolutely recommended. If we are in Giessen again we will definitely come back.

We mostly eat burgers with sides and nachos here. They're all really awesome. (Recommendation: Queso Azul Burger with blue cheese, tastes slightly sweet) There is also a very good, and compared to most other restaurants, large selection of food for vegetarians and vegans. Likewise, the cocktails, if not exactly cheap, are super tasty. There is a large selection of non-alcoholic cocktails (recommendation: Dragon Eye), so there should be something for everyone. Since the cinema is right next door, you can have a great meal either before or after a film.

I will never eat here again! It's a real shame to pay money to get expired food! After I nicely pointed it out to the waitress and showed the expiry date, I was cheekily greeted and even though I couldn't eat it, I had to pay for it! Disgusting and disappointing for the guests who come specifically for good food.

Very tasty food (Tuesday is burger day!) and great cocktails :-)

We eat here every few months for weekday lunch. At this time the prices are very good thanks to the lunch menu (burger with fries, drink and dessert <15€). The service is very friendly, the food is excellent. The fries in particular are very tasty. We also recommend the fries with crispy chicken and gratinated with cheese. We will definitely eat here more often. Since we haven't eaten here in the evening for a long time, we can't comment on that.

There are delicious burgers here. I had a surf and turf burger. Delicious.

OK for a branch system. Although Happy our Cocktail had all the ingredients described, the taste was not particularly outstanding. Nachos con carne OK. There are definitely better tortilla chips. Service was very attentive and professional. Location in the middle of the city. And certainly benefit from the cinema next door.

Absolutely delicious burgers and exceptional burger creations. Also for vegetarians and vegans. Courteous service and as far as the ambience is concerned, you sit outside on the town hall square, the wasps were extremely annoying this year, but it's nice inside too.

I ordered a non-alcoholic mojito and got one with alcohol instead. After complaining, the waitress brought another mojito - again with alcohol and more ice. Only after the third attempt did I get the right drink. Extremely disappointing and unprofessional. Lg

Despite the location at probably one of the busiest intersections in Giessen, we find it comfortable to sit outside in the evenings, especially in summer. The food is super delicious and the cocktails are also delicious. Price/performance is right.

The food is always delicious, there is a large selection of food and drinks! Unfortunately, the prices have now risen significantly. The employees are always nice and attentive, even when there is a lot of activity. It's usually impossible to get a table without a reservation, so we always prefer to make a reservation.

Cocktails were not good! When we wanted to go to the toilet we were insulted because we went in through the side entrance, which was open. Except for waitress No. 1, who was very friendly, the behavior of the staff was impossible. Not recommended!

In the middle of Berliner Platz, an inviting atmosphere under generous parasols and very comfortable outdoor furniture🍹🍀👌TOP! Good service, quick, careful, friendly. What more could you want? 🎉A very extensive and imaginative menu of multinational dishes, delicious cocktails, small and large, cold and warm dishes at affordable prices👍👍👍. Gastro doesn't get any better than this. I hope I have the opportunity to stop by often. Absolutely recommended 💝🥂

We ate very well. The service was friendly and the food came quickly.

Waiter Tobias very bold. For a price of €27 you give €30 and while you are waiting for your change you are asked the question “Do you want something back?” I personally find it very inappropriate and unpleasant.

A very quiet and relaxed atmosphere, the location is also really nice. The staff is really friendly and the main point of course, the food, 10/10, very delicious and visually great too, is really highly recommended!

The food was excellent and the waitress was very nice, even though we didn't speak German very well. The prices are a bit higher, but the food was still good. We sat outside and it's nice there

Super nice and attentive service, great drinks. We enjoyed the food very much. It's very comfortable to sit there, especially now in the summer. Dogs are provided with water

Food ok. A lot based on finished products.

Large covered terrace located at an intersection, which doesn't bother you. South American cuisine. Good selection of food and drinks, there is something for everyone. Food was very tasty. In the toilets, the sink can be used in the women's and men's toilets. Very well thought out and sustainable. Recommended

Bomb burgers and super friendly service - thank you very much, we'll be back

Decent food and decent service. You can like the noise of the traffic around you, but you don't have to. City dwellers probably won't notice it anyway.

Were in your store for the first time. Super friendly employees who are always on their toes. Our waitress Alexandra took great care of us... we'll be back. Everything was very tasty and arrived quickly. Great !
