Der Grieche zum Staufenplatz in Düsseldorf

RESERVE THIS PLACE, OR RISK DISAPPOINTMENT! It’s always full! I really love gourmet and gastronomical meals and was intrigued at the very high score this Greek restaurant had on Google. Was it merited or not? Was it just typical Greek food or something special. I can honestly say that the restaurant deserves its high score and I will happily return with friends. The service was very friendly, very fast and professional, the food was COPIOUS and REALLY DELICIOUS and the price very reasonable considering the quality and authenticity of the food we enjoyed. We are already looking forward to our next meal there.

A Greek restaurant with a difference. Modern and contemporary decor. Excellent and friendly service and delicious, modern interpretations of Greek dishes. Well worth a visit.

Amazing food, super friendly service, incredibly welcoming – you feel right at home! Absolutely fantastic!

It was a lovely evening! This was my third time there. The staff was friendly and attentive. The food came super quickly and was, as always, very good. Highly recommended! 😋

Top Greek restaurant in Düsseldorf

Delicious dishes, friendly staff, good location

There's not much to say: the food was perfect, the service was friendly, fast, and charming. Prices were a bit high, but we felt they were more than reasonable for the quality and portion size. We'd be happy to come back. Note on parking: the restaurant is right on the street in front of a bus stop, so there's no parking there. However, there's a huge open space for cars diagonally across the street, just a 5-minute walk away.

We spontaneously visited on a Saturday and got a table for two. The service was super attentive and friendly from the start. We were preceded by a bread basket with olives. The food arrived quite quickly and was truly delicious. We can recommend the restaurant.

Everything's just right at this Greek restaurant. The ambiance, staff, and food are absolutely recommendable. And they've been for many years.

Very friendly staff, beautiful location. Highly recommended.

I would give it 10 stars if that were possible. Everything just fits perfectly here. I was in Düsseldorf on business with colleagues when we stumbled upon this restaurant by chance. We liked it so much that we came back a second time. The service is incredibly friendly, you're welcomed with open arms, and you don't want for anything. The food is truly excellent, and everyone will be satisfied. Each guest receives bread with olives, the finest olive oil, and tzatiki. Our waiter was Davide, who looked after us very well. If you have the chance, definitely stop by.

This place was great! I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious food and reasonable prices. The service was also excellent. I highly recommend this place and would definitely return.

Highly recommended restaurant. Delicious food, cute and well-kept venue, and very friendly and helpful staff!

It was my very first time eating there and I have to say it was absolutely delicious. I can only recommend it. It was very friendly and very nice. 👍

Simply delicious if you want Greek food. Easy to reach, as the restaurant is right next to the U73 stop.

Excellent and delicious food and the best service ever

Absolutely delicious! Rosé with coffee is simply a dream! Great service!

The price and quality are right here! The restaurant is cozy and comfortable. They've omitted Greek murals, etc. – I like that. The service is friendly and quick, despite a full house. The food is very tasty and portions are generous, so no one goes hungry. Located on a main road, parking can be difficult at times. It's easily accessible by public transport, as there's a bus stop across the street.

Very delicious food! I'm very satisfied! Keep up the good work!

We went as a large group and were very pleased. The food was delicious, and in addition to ouzo, they also had Beylerbeyi rakı. They were also very helpful with the cake service; I highly recommend it.

A truly beautiful restaurant with absolutely fantastic food. I don't think I've had such delicious gyros in a long time. The side dishes and appetizers we had were also delicious. The service was engaging and very friendly. Everything was just right here. We'll definitely be back.

A bit expensive, but very tasty!

Great atmosphere, truly delicious food, and very friendly staff. We came with 14 people at short notice, and they made everything possible. Top 👍🏼

Very friendly service and very good food in a lovely atmosphere.

A great atmosphere, friendly service, and excellent food. We'll be back!! Highly recommended!

Four of us ate there yesterday – exactly what you imagine a successful evening to be. Delicious food and extremely friendly staff in a wonderful atmosphere. If the staff had been given 6 stars, we would have given them that too. Despite the restaurant being very busy, everything was perfectly organized. We would definitely recommend it anytime.

We used to go to this restaurant quite often because we were always impressed by the food and the friendly staff. Then I once had baked gyro in Metaxa sauce, which was not tasty at all. It wasn't Metaxa sauce, but some kind of cream sauce, and in my opinion, you can't just serve something like that. If a sauce isn't available, you should say so. That annoyed me, and we didn't come back for a while. When we returned, there was suddenly a completely new staff there—not a problem in itself, and they were friendly. I ordered beef fillet, medium. However, I got it bleu: lightly cooked on the outside, completely raw and ice-cold on the inside. I returned it and had to wait about ten minutes while my companion ate alone. I would have expected an apology or a small gesture like a free coffee. When the meat came back, it wasn't medium, but well done. Because of the good quality, it was still edible – but again: no apology whatsoever. I ordered the same dish again, this time "medium well" just in case. They served two pieces of different sizes. The larger one was completely raw and cold inside, while the smaller one was cooked thoroughly. I complained again. When the dish came back, the larger piece was perfectly cooked this time – but the smaller one was completely cooked. Again: no apology, and the waiter in charge, while not rude, was not friendly either. The meat quality was very good every time. But at these prices, the cooking should be reliable, and you should feel taken seriously as a guest. It might happen once – no problem. But to have the same dish twice in a row, both times without an apology, is truly disappointing.

A very nice restaurant with an excellent menu and a very good selection of drinks. I liked that they offered not only Greek wines, but also wines like Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc. The food was very tasty and served quickly. My only criticism was that neither the garlic bread nor the tzatziki tasted of garlic. I appreciate that not everything tastes completely garlicky, but the garlic bread and tzatziki should at least taste a little garlicky. Overall, I would recommend the restaurant, but I won't be coming back, as that one criticism bothered me too much.

Greek restaurant with small outside seating area and very large inner space. The inside has high ceiling and a modern, clean design. Menu card consists of greek classics and some specials and are all very reasonably priced (including drinks). The service was fast and mostly attentative (had to order drinks twice as first time it was forgotten). Food was tasty, portions large (main course was enough). Probably the reason why it was very busy already late afternoon/ early evening. I would come again, a clear recommendation.

'The Greek' lives up to its name. Excellent food, international and excellent drinks. Very pleasant atmosphere. Staff courteous and flexible. We'll be happy to return. Advance reservations are recommended.

Great location, friendly staff, very attentive, good food. Even those with limited food can eat a child's portion. Very good. Very nice, cozy sun terrace. We were there with 13 people, and everyone was satisfied.

Spontaneous visit: Very friendly service, bread with dip and Kalamata olives were offered as a starter without asking, great! The food is delicious and a whole lot more refined than at the Greek snack bar around the corner. Highly recommended!

You'll truly be pampered here. The service is fantastic. The food was exceptional, and the portions were generous. It tasted truly delicious and was beautifully presented, every single plate and all the appetizers. At the end, we were surprised with cake—it was truly beyond words, it was so fantastic. We're already looking forward to the next time.

We visited this wonderful Greek restaurant today and I'm absolutely thrilled! The food was fresh, authentic, and incredibly delicious. A special shout-out goes to our waiter, Rafail. He was attentive, warm, and always had a smile on his face. You could tell he was passionate about his job and made you feel completely at home. The atmosphere was cozy and it felt a bit like being on vacation. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend the restaurant! 💙

Very tasty 😋 Great service. The waiter was in a good mood, nice, and friendly. The food was great. My favorite was the sardines and fried chili. The wine was delicious.

There were six of us. Today (July 29th) at 12:15 p.m. we ate here for the first time and... It was absolutely delicious! We received a friendly welcome, and all the tables were invitingly set. We were greeted with fresh bread and olives (salt, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar were available on all tables). Even the children's special requests were taken into account when ordering. The food came incredibly quickly, everything was fresh, and tasted amazing! The birthday girl even got a piece of cake. Highly recommended.

This is my third time there, and I'm very satisfied. The food is excellent, and the service is very friendly and attentive. When the weather's nice, you can sit and eat in the garden. I'll be back!

So, that's a high-level nitpicking. I thought the gyros was cold, my girlfriend didn't 😉 but whatever, it was very tasty, and I could have said so. In fact, everything was delicious. Very friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Highly recommended, you should definitely go there sometime. We'll be going again. My son recommended it to me. Great 😋😃

Best restaurant of my life. The meat is incredibly good and seasoned to perfection.

Card payments accepted! Beautiful, open-plan restaurant with a small courtyard. There are also some seats facing the street. The team is dedicated and takes really good care of their customers, including the ouzo nightcap. The real highlight, however, is the menu, which primarily features classic Greek dishes. There's nothing watered down by hamburgers and the like. The portions are ideal, so bring an appetite. A variety of wines and other spirits can be ordered to complement the food.

Attentive service. Solid, delicious food.

Very tasty Greek food, and a great selection of dishes. The owner makes every guest feel special. Keep an eye for their Greek burgers on the lunch menu. The best burger you will get in the area!

Very pleasant atmosphere, delicious food, attentive waiters; and the price was right, too. We'd love to come back.....

A lot of things are homemade here, and you can taste it. We'd love to come back. It was also great that our lovely poodle and her lovely Aussie friend were welcome. We'd love to come back.

A great restaurant with very friendly and polite service staff and of course delicious food

Very good Greek restaurant, professional and delicious. Mid-range prices. Very good quality.

Very tasty Greek dishes. A generous grilled plate with excellent and tasty meat (gyro, skewers, minced meat) and good side dishes. To start, fresh bread with black olives and a delicious dip. To finish, a very good ouzo. We sat outside by the street. Inside, a very attractive, modern ambiance. Top-notch restrooms. And most importantly: dedicated, friendly staff. We'd be happy to come back.

We were there at the end of May to meet up with some former colleagues. The food was once again very good, and the portions were generous. The service was very friendly and attentive. The only downside is the drink prices! I find €3.90 for a 0.2 liter Coke outrageous! A 0.4 liter Coke costs €5.50. Where's the balance? So, tip: order large soft drinks!

Friendly waiter, lovely atmosphere, delicious food, and reasonable prices. Highly recommended! One of the best Greek restaurants in all of Düsseldorf.

Delicious food, good service. But it was very loud.

Great food, very friendly service

Authentic Greece in the heart of Düsseldorf – highly recommended! A true gem on Staufenplatz! This Greek restaurant not only offers fantastic food, but also an atmosphere that immediately transports you to Greece. Warm, informal, and absolutely authentic – this is exactly what you imagine a perfect evening at a Greek restaurant to be. The dishes are consistently excellent: From classic souvlaki to tender saddle of lamb to incredibly fresh mezedes – everything was prepared with love and perfectly seasoned. We particularly highlight the grilled feta and the homemade tzatziki – a dream! The service is attentive, friendly, and pleasantly unobtrusive. You immediately feel welcome and in good hands. Even special requests were met with a smile. The value for money is absolutely spot on – here you get quality and genuine hospitality at fair prices. In conclusion: If you're looking for honest, Greek cuisine in a relaxed atmosphere, you should definitely visit the Greek restaurant on Staufenplatz. A place to feel good, enjoy, and come back!

Came here for a birthday dinner. The food was authentic and delicious. The service was great, we were nicely served by a friendly young man. He even drank with us ouzo while wishing the best for the birthday person ☺️ that was really nice! The place is clean all over, elegant, not loud, enough space on the table for the meals. Beautiful experience, we will come back 😉

A truly great Greek restaurant. This is a great place for larger groups, such as birthday parties, as the restaurant offers plenty of space. It's very stylish and beautifully decorated, and the food is delicious!

Very good food with very friendly service pleasant atmosphere

Unreservedly recommended. Delicious food in a stylish setting with excellent service! Discovered by chance and now saved for future visits!

Absolutely. Very good service, great food, would gladly go again.

Good food, friendly service staff.

Reservations are recommended. A friendly welcome. Plenty of space in the restaurant. Very fast service. Delicious food and a wide selection of drinks at a fair price. Parking is free at the P&R lot 4 minutes away. Best time: 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM.

Very good food. Sometimes very noisy, but the price/performance ratio is good.

The food was good, from the lunch menu. Service was very friendly. Unfortunately, I didn't like the ambiance. I felt like I was sitting in a cafeteria. That's my opinion; I'm sure there are other opinions.

It was my second time there and I can recommend the place!

Very very tasty fresh food. The service was first class. We'd love to come back.

Food is great, fresh and good. Service attentive. What we found difficult at times was the audience.

Very tasty fresh food, price performance also very good. Very nice large restaurant also perfect for children. Gladly again ☺️

Great food and very nice staff.

We liked it a lot. The service was very friendly and the food was delicious.

Great Greek restaurant on Staufenplatz. Solid atmosphere, slightly higher (but reasonable) prices, super-tasty food, top service

I had a gyro plate and it was really delicious. The gyro was juicy and was grilled extremely well. 😁👍🏻

Super delicious food, friendly and courteous service. We enjoyed being there

We went for tsipouro and were blown away by the many choices of appetizers. The owner, Makis, did everything he could to ensure that we never forget what the company tasted.

You can eat really delicious food here in the old building charm. The only thing you have to say about the starter is: too much beetroot tartare 🙈 But it was really tasty. There was goat cheese as a starter. This is served caramelized on arugula and beetroot tartare. (9€) For the main course my wife had the Achilles plate for €22. There you could find gyros, suvlaki skewers, meat rolls, fries and salad with tzatziki. I had the Kaöbskottelet. This was delicious with a herb garlic butter, caramelized onions, mashed potatoes and salad. Also very tasty for €26. The Schuhmacher Alt (0.5 for €5.50) and the non-alcoholic Krombacher Weizen (0.5 for €5.50) also tasted very good. Before the meal there was free bread, which is becoming increasingly rare these days. Plus a few olives and a yogurt-mint-lemon cream that was really tasty and fresh. A visit is recommended. Rafail served us wonderfully. And he can believe me when I say: The beetroot was really tasty 🤪

My brother celebrated his big birthday. With almost 30 guests, we had great all-round support and very good service. The food was great, so you could prepare meat in any form very well. The starters were great 🔝. The place is very chic and cozy. It is really highly recommended 👏 Thank you and a big shout out to the great staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very good ! The knuckle is enough for two people!

We sat outside in the wonderful weather and ate various dishes. Everything was delicious and the service was very happy and attentive.

A very nice and tasty Greek restaurant. The staff is super accommodating and friendly. We were particularly impressed by the wine list. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back :)

No is very expensive and the supposed garlic bread was fried baguette fried in oil more oil than bread

Delicious food, friendly service 👍

Ordered a grill plate with side dishes and salad for 10 people to pick up 3 days in advance. Quality and quantity were great. Highly recommended

Super nice evening, with great and great service. Always happy again

Our absolute favorite restaurant for years! The team is incredibly warm and the atmosphere is always welcoming. The food is authentic, fresh and simply delicious! Every dish tastes like a little vacation in Greece. Whether it's a spontaneous dinner or a large family celebration, we always feel welcome here. Absolute recommendation!

We had excellent meat and very friendly service. We were offered ouzo at the end. Nice atmosphere.

Very Greek flavors with fantastic happy employees.

Was a good place before, now a bit overpriced and not so friendly.

Excellent service and location. But please put less oil on the Metaxa gyros. I almost vomited after eating, both me and my colleague. For the price you should increase the quality of the food a little.

I have been coming here for many years and always feel warmly welcomed and served in an excellent and friendly manner. 🙂👍

Yesterday we decided to have dinner at this restaurant. I ordered Triologie and my husband “Kebap”. Trilogie consists of lamm cutlets, grilled chicken and lamm I guess. I liked chicken most, lamm was also okay but a little saltless. However Lamm cutlets were not tasty at all😢🥹I couldnt eat them. At the end when we payed they gifted us Olive oil from Greece 😍I liked this present a lot!!! Overall I am satisfied, but if i go next time i would definitely avoid ordering cutlets.

The service was attentive and friendly. The food was very tasty. Unfortunately it was so loud that you had to shout at each other.

One of our favorite restaurants. We can absolutely recommend the garlic bread as a starter. All other dishes are also great 🙋

The shop is very nice for the first time we visited it, the food very tasty we really liked the souvlaki very tasty, the service very fast and polite, and we want to say a thank you to the kid who worked at the bar because he didn't understand that we were Greek for the wonderful cocktails he served us and he was so kind well done!!! Well done to the shop and the owner who has such good staff and food!!!

There were 4 of us there. I have to say it was a really nice shop and, above all, great staff. You also have to praise the barman who was really quick and super friendly and even brought us our plates. Top top Super friendly and a good saying I speak from my own experience as a bartender myself

Great service and really delicious food!

For our entire family the best Greek restaurant far and wide. The food is always top quality, the host and the service guarantee top management. The ouzo supply is always guaranteed.

Unbeatable for us. If you like good Greek cuisine, you will like it. The service was very attentive and friendly. Thank you

The best Greek. Food was super tasty and very nice service

The food tastes very good, service is great, competent staff, very nice atmosphere, you feel really comfortable

Great, delicious food. Wide selection of good drinks and, above all, very nice and courteous service. Always happy to be with you. :) thank you for the lovely evenings. Stay as you are

The best Greek restaurant I know in Düsseldorf, you come in and feel completely at home until the end. The food is phenomenal. The location is also highly recommended for parties. 10/10 points keep it up 😘

I don't understand all the good reviews. The waiters were very inattentive, service took forever, it wasn't possible to reorder drinks, the portion size was manageable, the price-performance ratio wasn't right here at all. Definitely our first and last visit.

Our waiter was very inattentive. After 20 minutes he took the drink order and then forgot half of it. Our extra request for the starter was not taken into account. The calamari for the main course was not a highlight. The stir-fry vegetables were totally mushy and the salad didn't have enough dressing. When the waiter asked if everything was okay, he immediately gave himself the answer. “It was too much, they also had a big starter.” Afterwards he brought two more ouzo and then we didn't see him again. We would have liked to drink something else, coffee/dessert would also have been an option. As Düsseldorf residents, we cannot recommend the restaurant more highly.
