Elia in Kempten (Allgäu)

Good food but huge waiting time for the food. Nice staff but too few

Very friendly staff and very tasty food.

We will definitely come back👍⚘️

Very good food, with friendly waiters and a really nice atmosphere. There's really nothing to criticize. I had a filet platter once and a fish platter yesterday. It tasted very good, but unfortunately, my €26 meal only came with spinach as a side dish, and it simply didn't have enough carbohydrates to fill you up. I think that at prices like that, you could just add a small bread basket, and then customers would go home 100% full and happy. Friends of mine ordered pita, but without it, I would have still been hungry for €30 with a drink. Still, a decent restaurant, but perhaps there's still something that could be improved.

Super tasty, very friendly and a pleasant atmosphere.

I was absolutely thrilled! The food was incredibly delicious and freshly prepared. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the owner genuinely cares about his guests—you immediately feel welcome. Very professionally run and with great attention to detail. I would definitely come back!

Super delicious food and very friendly service, highly recommended.

Our whole family went to eat at Elia yesterday. Outside in the garden there was a great atmosphere and everything was delicious.

An insider tip in Kempten! From the outside, you'd never guess that this is a very good Greek restaurant with a beautiful beer garden. A little oasis in the middle of town. The food was consistently very good – fresh, delicious, and lovingly prepared, served by extremely friendly, attentive staff. The price is absolutely reasonable for the quality you get. Only the parking situation is a bit tricky, as parking spaces are unfortunately scarce. Nevertheless, it's definitely worth a visit: definitely recommend it!

As always, super good food and very friendly service

The food and service were very good. 👍 Highly recommended, definitely. ✌️

We were really impressed on previous visits – the food was excellent back then! Unfortunately, our last visit was completely different, and we left very disappointed. For almost €30, we got a meal that absolutely didn't justify the price: just three small pieces of meat, fries that were obviously fried in the same oil as fish, and they weren't particularly tasty, as they tasted like fish. The portion seemed uninspired – a few fries on the plate, the rest simply thrown in a small bowl. Overall, the value for money was poor, and the quality has deteriorated significantly compared to the early days. Unfortunately, this was our last visit – a real shame, but never again.

Gyros are good, they may not be very good at shrimp, but definitely try the liver.

Very nice atmosphere and quality, it is the best Greek restaurant I have encountered in the 8 years I have lived in Germany. The sweet dessert is spectacular and delicious!

We reserved the separate room for our wedding reception over half a year ago. A week before, I checked again to see if we could decorate the room beforehand, bring the cake there beforehand, etc. – everything was fine. On the day of the wedding, we learned that the room had been given to another party because there were five more people, and that would generate more profit. We weren't informed beforehand; we found out when we arrived! We sat outside in the rain!! That's not what you want to hear on your wedding day. An absolute no-go and not recommended to anyone. The food is good, but the service is completely awful and unfortunately, it doesn't make it any better...

A real insider tip in the Bayerischer Hof in Kempten! It's barely noticeable from the outside – you wouldn't suspect that such a good Greek restaurant is hidden in this building. And the beautiful, hidden beer garden isn't visible at all from the street – yet it truly is a little oasis in the middle of the city. The food was consistently very good – from the appetizers to the main courses and dessert. Everything was fresh, delicious, and lovingly prepared. The service was friendly, attentive, and competent. The price is absolutely reasonable for the quality you get. The only downside: Parking is difficult, and unfortunately, parking spaces are very limited. Nevertheless, it's definitely worth a visit. My recommendation was a complete success – I'd be happy to come back. I definitely recommend it!

A very delicious Greek restaurant with a good vegetarian selection and a cozy atmosphere. We started with a mixed appetizer platter. Many of the mezze were vegetarian, including tzatziki, eggplant dip, spicy cheese dip, lentil salad, giant beans, and more. Some of them were even vegan. For main courses, there were three vegetarian dishes to choose from; I had the briam with feta. All the dishes were delicious, and the portion sizes were generous. The atmosphere of the restaurant is both modern and rustic; you feel at home. The service is also excellent, attentive, and friendly. I also liked the selection of drinks. They also offer free ouzo to start and finish the meal. Overall, I thought the experience at Restaurant Elia was great and I highly recommend it.

We've been stopping at the Bayrischer Hof for several years now. The Elia restaurant, which has been in operation for three years, is absolutely worth a visit. Today we had the surf & turf, and I have to say it was the best interpretation of surf & turf I've ever eaten. Perfect service and friendliness rounded off the evening. Thank you so much, we'll be back. ❤️ And please, please join us for "My Local, Your Local." 💪😃

I give it 10 stars! A very friendly guy served us, helped us with the menu, and gave us excellent recommendations. The food was exquisite and the atmosphere was great, a beautiful place. Highly recommended.

** Two hours of vacation - right in Kempten! ** As soon as you walk in, you're greeted in Greek – a definite plus for me: almost the entire staff speaks Greek! You sit down and immediately feel like you're on vacation in the large outdoor dining area! You're greeted with a Greek specialty from the house – ouzo! Service is fast, the food is excellent. The appetizers are especially amazing! But basically everything – no matter what you choose – is excellent! All in all, we love coming here and spending a two-hour vacation in "little Bavarian Greece"!

Great food, nice location, very friendly staff. And super kid-friendly. A really great play area. Dogs welcome

The food is very good, the staff very friendly, and really fast. The ambiance isn't Greek. I would eat here again anytime.

Going to Dimi has now become our weekly family ritual. Despite the full tables, you always get a seat quickly, the service is courteous and highly professional, and the food is first-class. For me and the family, we can't imagine life without it.

The beer garden is very idyllic, and the service staff are very friendly. The food was average and overpriced. The appetizer was disappointing, lacking in variety and not very flavorful.

Perhaps the best Greek restaurant in the area. Even though the garden was full, everything went smoothly. The food was great, and the service, even though it was full, was attentive, cheerful, and quick. I'd be happy to go back and highly recommend it! And to everyone... don't complain if it takes a little longer when the garden is full... they're just great people!

Very large beer garden with many old chestnut trees that provide great shade in the current temperatures.

Very well-maintained campsite just outside Vienna.

Highly recommended! The food is delicious; we've become regulars. The staff is friendly and attentive. We'll be back again and again...

I had dinner at this Greek hotel with my colleagues while my stay at Kempten and this is indeed one of the nicest one there. The location is super adjacent to a river and near to the city centre and by the main road. They have a beer harden where one can see so many colourful trees in the spring and enjoy their drinks with snacks with their loved ones. The ambience to me was very pleasing. We had snacks on the garden and dinner inside their restaurant. We ordered a famous sea food platter where there was variety of fishes, lobsters and veg snacks as well. I have also ordered dorada fish and the famous Greek zucchini balls which were both quite delicious. Only thing is they don’t have much variety in the non alcoholic drinks range. The inside ambience of the restaurant was also cosy and quite neat and clean. The service was prompt and behaviour of the staff members was quite warm.

Nice, but just a Greek restaurant 😉

Pleasant informal atmosphere with Greek character

If you want a quick breakfast, this is the place for you. Menus are covered in grease, the welcoming ouzo is slammed onto the table so that it spills over, crumbs and stains on the chairs, you barely have time to read the cat before you're pressured into ordering. Time is money in its purest form. They even cleared parts of our plates away, even though someone was still eating. The staff are either untrained or simply arrogant. The prices are exorbitant for Kempten and suspiciously big city. Overall, the way guests are treated here is a disgrace. At least the food is good, but nothing more.

It's been a long time since I've eaten such delicious Greek food without so many fries. I thought it was excellent. Most restaurants load up your plate with fries, so that's a 5 for the variety of dishes and side dishes (rice with vegetables, etc.). It's different from the others, which makes it enjoyable.

A very nice location with a great atmosphere and delicious food. There's a lovely large beer garden, and the service is very attentive and friendly. Everyone is very child-friendly. Highly recommended.

Everything was perfect! Food, staff, atmosphere, highly recommended, we'll be back next time.

We ate here for Mother's Day. I made a reservation in advance. We got a seat quickly. The surroundings are fantastic, with a great atmosphere. Since it was my first time here, I couldn't find the parking lot at first. I parked in the hotel's parking spaces. This was fine. There's no clear signage here. We had a starter and main course. The wait for the starter was fine. I thought the wait for the main course was too long. The restaurant wasn't very busy, so I didn't understand the long waits. When we finally got the food, it was only lukewarm. The fries weren't cooked through, but the liver was piping hot. We then had to wait even longer before we could pay. So I can understand why you can spend an average of two hours here. The weather was nice, though, and we were able to relax. If you want a quick bite to eat, you should go somewhere else.

Highly recommended. There's plenty of parking in the courtyard. The staff is incredibly attentive. The food is quick and tastes excellent. Absolutely outstanding value for money. I would have perhaps preferred a slice more feta cheese in the beetroot salad, but that would be nitpicking.

I'll be back... very, very tasty and I can recommend it

The best Greek in the area. Food is always top, the good quality of the basic ingredients pays off. Fast and very good service. The boss has everything under control.

Very good value for money, service was great, food was really great and the portions were more than sufficient and of good quality. Nice atmosphere.

Fully booked - a bit hectic and very loud. The food was delicious and the staff was friendly.

The food was very tasty, the staff was very quick but friendly. Reservations are absolutely recommended. Unfortunately it was the volume level is a bit high.

The food, service and atmosphere were simply outstanding! Unfortunately it was a bit too loud. Nevertheless, a clear recommendation for anyone who appreciates good food and friendly staff.

I agree with the excellent reviews. A fantastically good salmon stifado and galaktoboureko. In the end it's not exactly cheap, but it's worth every cent given the quality. Absolute recommendation!

The food tastes really good and the selection is large. The prices are also totally okay, there were 5 of us and we paid €118.

Everything is just great!!!!!! we had various starters. Grilled pepperoni, zatziki, fried zucchini and eggplant, garlic bread gratinated with cheese, octopus. Main course gyros with calamari. Everything was very delicately and deliciously prepared. Poli oreo. The main course was almost impossible to finish. The portions are quite large and the price is great. We'll definitely come back. Best “Greek” we know of in and around KE. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. Epharisto poli. The only small drawback is that there could be a little more light. The lamps on the tables are nice and stylish, but not really bright. There was no overhead lighting where we sat.

Very tasty food and fast and friendly service! :)

We were at Elia for the third time and were shocked at how this restaurant has changed. The entrance area was full of guests waiting for a table, with hectic waiters snaking through and sometimes forcing Ouzou on them. We tried several times to say that we had reserved a table, but no response. At some point we were quickly led to a table, two menus were put down and a request was thrown in. It was incredibly loud due to the many guests and the music, entertainment was hardly possible. The quality has deteriorated, the salad probably comes from a bag, fries and tzatziki are better. The wait wasn't long, but the starters were served with the main courses. The waiters did their best, the decor is now really chic, but the whole thing still felt like mass processing, which is a shame.

Absolutely, you have to go there. The staff exceptionally friendly and attentive. The food was very tasty.

Great store Great quality Great taste Top service

A modern approach to Mediterranean cuisine, each dish is an incredible taste journey. The gyro was juicy, well cooked and paired perfectly with the homemade sauce and crispy fries. The portions are generous, the service is friendly and the place is neat, with an incredible atmosphere. Many labels for wine and cocktails.

Very, very tasty food, service courteous and friendly. The dessert recommendation was excellent and everyone was more than satisfied with their starters and main courses.

Mega restaurant, finally a Greek restaurant the way you want it, absolutely top and can only be recommended

Always my pleasure! Food and service TOP! Thank you!

Great meal - had the calamari starter, fish plate and mille feuille. Simply outstanding all round.

A real highlight in Kempten!** I had the pleasure of visiting Restaurant Elia in Kempten and can only say that it was an exceptional experience. Here are the reasons why I give Restaurant Elia five stars: **Food (5/5):** The food is simply fantastic! We tried a selection of starters, main courses and desserts and each dish was a delight. The ingredients are fresh, the preparation is authentically Greek and the flavors are perfectly balanced. The souvlaki and the gyros were particularly impressive – juicy, spicy and with a wonderful crust. The tomato rice and onions served with the grill plates were also excellent. **Service (5/5):** The service was exemplary. The staff are not only extremely friendly and accommodating, but also very knowledgeable about the food and drinks. We were welcomed with a small welcome schnapps, which was a nice gesture. Despite being full, service was quick and efficient without seeming rushed. **Atmosphere (5/5):** The ambience at Elia is warm and inviting. You immediately feel like you are in Greece, with the typical decorations and the warm atmosphere. There are both indoor and outdoor areas, the latter being a nice option especially when the weather is nice. Even when the restaurant was full, the noise level was pleasant, so you could have a good conversation. **Value for money (5/5):** Prices are fair, especially considering the quality of the food and service. The lunch menu also offers very affordable options, which is particularly pleasing. **Cleanliness (5/5):** The restaurant was spotlessly clean, indicating good organization and attention to detail. **Additional Notes:** - The menu offers a good selection and there are also changing daily specials that provide variety. - There is helpful information about allergens for people with allergies or intolerances. - Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends as the restaurant is very popular. I can only warmly recommend the Elia restaurant. It is a must for anyone who is in Kempten or the surrounding area and wants first-class Greek cuisine. We will definitely come back!

Four of us spontaneously had dinner there today. First of all, I would like to mention the above-average friendly and fast service and welcome. This is no longer a given these days. We had four different meals, all of which came at the same time and were consistently delicious. The dessert was also very tasty. The portions were more than sufficient. Keep it up. Thank you very much!

The ambience is not that of a classic Greek, but rather the cosiness and rusticity of the Bavarian court has been preserved. Especially in this environment, the warmth and hospitality of the staff is a very fitting point. The food tastes perfect and the selection is perfect. The portion size is also more than sufficient. Gladly again at any time.

An experience to stay and eat there. Mega delicious, there were six of us and we ate everything from the menu. You really couldn't say which tasted best. The family team, boss and Coucins were just great, very friendly with funny sayings at the start. You feel very welcome and it wasn't the last time we were there.🥂🙂🫶

Unfortunately we were very disappointed. The background noise was very loud (music and people) and it was not possible to have a relaxed meal. The table was so close to the neighboring table that you could only get through from the side and almost knocked over the glasses. The ambience was non-Greek, the lamp on our table was totally scratched and the gold was peeling off. Not nice to look at. The fries were delicious and so were our starters, but the gyro tasted like it was cooked. We know it from other Greeks when it is fried a little crispy. Unfortunately the salad wasn't tasty at all. The dressing was boring with vinegar oil. We would have liked to order a second drink, but despite holding up our hands several times, no one came, so we decided to leave. But this wasn't that easy because no one was interested, we had to wait a long time until someone finally came to collect. Unfortunately we won't be coming anymore.

Currently our favorite restaurant in Kempten. Great food and service. And most importantly: super child-friendly. Keep it up, we look forward to next time :)

Delicious food and quick service! Really great!

Very good cuisine, only giving 4 stars because the price level is very high, but otherwise there was nothing to complain about. Top starters, very good fish for the main course. We'll be back.... Thank you very much

Were here for the first time today, I have to say it was really great, great service, very good food, and not overpriced, we'll come back here

Great, slightly higher-priced restaurant with a nice, pleasant atmosphere, fast and friendly service and delicious food (sometimes too greasy for some, but it's Greek food). Highly recommend the feta with honey and figs. If you want to eat there on a Friday evening or at the weekend, be sure to make a reservation ;-) Points are deducted for the unclear, confusing website, where the Elia restaurant appears to be attached to the hotel. The Elia restaurant is in the Bayr building. Hofs, however, is independent and has nothing to do with the hotel itself. ATTENTION: If you are on the Bavarian homepage. If you order a voucher from Hof, it can NOT be redeemed in the Elia Restaurant -> This can only be redeemed according to the information provided by the restaurant staff for the hotel regarding room or breakfast. So if you want a restaurant voucher from Elia, you should contact the restaurant directly... Good to know... In my case, unfortunately, you only found out later :-(

An absolute delight! We visit this wonderful Greek restaurant very often and are thrilled. The food is excellent - authentic, fresh and made with a lot of love. The service is extremely friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere is modern but cozy. We can highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back regularly

Great quality and very tasty. Absolutely recommended.

Cozy restaurant with very tasty Greek cuisine. We ordered Greek tapas and were completely satisfied and totally full. The service was nice and very quick considering the number of guests there at the time. You can sit inside and outside. The “beer garden” is beautifully designed and invites you to sit for longer. Gladly again

I don't really like giving negative reviews... but we were expecting good food and unfortunately we weren't satisfied at all. Maybe it was because it was New Year's Eve and there was a lot going on. We ordered 1 fish platter for 3 people and 1 meat platter for 1 person to be picked up by phone. Unfortunately the price/performance ratio was not appropriate... the table top for 3 people didn't even include the amount for 2 people. Fish was tough and dry. Unfortunately, meat also had to be dried. The positive thing is that it was prepared quickly and there was one salad per person. And the staff on the phone and on site were super nice and friendly. But we would like to give 2nd chance and eat here again on a regular day, maybe it will be better.

A very disorganized restaurant. We had to wait half an hour even though we had a reservation and for this reason we couldn't even order dessert because they said the kitchen was now closed. We weren't even asked shortly beforehand if we wanted to order anything else because we got our food very late due to their disorganized behavior. Half an hour before closing time we were cashed in and indirectly thrown out. I really don't recommend it was very disappointing.

Fantastic!! Owner also speaks Dutch, German and Greek!

The former hotel restaurant in the Bayerischer Hof became the Greek restaurant Elia. The food is very good, the waiters are friendly and it is very clean there. In summer the beer garden is bursting at the seams. No wonder given the beautiful atmosphere and the good quality!

Everything perfect! Extremely delicious food, extremely nice and fast service. Nice restaurant.

Pretty tasty. . Very loud and unrelaxed. Service tends to forget the back dining rooms.

delicious Greek food and drinks. Friendly staff. We were guests at Elia for the second time Our friends and we were all completely satisfied. Price/performance is good. We'd love to come back.

Food and prices are okay. Conversing is very tiring because the music is set too loud. There is already a lot of noise from all the guests in a small space.

Had a nice evening with colleagues, thank you for that

Absolutely great, the various starters. Fish is also recommended. Plus super friendly service and a nice atmosphere

Perfect Greek! Four of us were there today and were totally thrilled. Service is top, food is top and the price-performance ratio is also very good. Will definitely come back when we are in Kempten, especially in summer. You can also sit outside here.

Nice restaurant with a great ambience, but very loud background noise. Food OK. Service seemed very stressed and inattentive, a shame.

Mega friendly staff. Always in a good mood Food tastes very, very good every time. I can only recommend it

Very good food and very friendly service. We found this restaurant by chance and were very pleasantly surprised. This came to the table very quickly 😁

Best Greek restaurant in Kempten! Best service and a great selection of Greek dishes, fish and meat 🍖 Everyone gets enough here and I like to come back again and again.

Probably the best Greek in the area, great food, great ambience and the staff nice, friendly and on the ball..!!!

It was great again! The boss can still optimize the blue lighting 😉🤣

A nice restaurant with a great ambience. The food was very good, but the service wasn't great that evening. The two meals came very offset, which meant we basically ate separately. The service wasn't always there and sometimes didn't show up for a long time. All in all OK.

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssss!!! Price performance is absolutely right here. In addition to absolutely high-quality food, the restaurant shines with a cozy, beautiful ambience and very friendly service! We'll definitely be back!!! Clear recommendation!

Very tasty food, the meat was very well prepared and the atmosphere is also very nice. My wife and I will be back 😊

Food was only lukewarm. Waiters were stressed. It was way too crowded. It was so dark at the table that I only saw my food as a gray heap.

Very tasty food and friendly service

I love this Greek place and the food is very good. There were seven of us and everything was very happy

Really great!!! Thank you very much 🙂

In terms of taste, the Bifteki was in the middle range. Unfortunately the service was very poor. I ordered a bifteki without salad and tzatziki. Additionally Metaxa sauce. To drink a glass of tap water. I was given a shot of schnapps beforehand without asking whether I wanted to drink alcohol. Even before I put it down, my “no” was ignored. The order could not be served successfully. The tap water became still water (additional cost for me). The Metaxa sauce was forgotten when the meal was served and I had to wait 5 minutes for it to be added... . When I asked for the bill, it was correspondingly disappointing. Unfortunately, the salad and tzatziki were not counted against the Metaxa sauce, but I had to pay an additional €3.50 and the full price for the bifteki. The “tap water” is just as ridiculous at a stable €3.00 for 0.2 l. Of course there was no tip from me. The employees are too insensitive for appropriate behavior in a good restaurant for my taste. Personally, I really dislike having conversations in another national language.

Not as good as before. The food still tastes good, but it has deteriorated somewhat in terms of craftsmanship, presentation and taste. Unfortunately, prices were increased at the same time. No more Greek music but more lounge music. But the worst thing was the service. The bald chain smoker was completely out of place in this atmosphere with his arrogance and the fact that he clearly has no idea about this profession. When, logically, he didn't get a tip, as is more common today with prices, he slammed the card reader on the table and left in an insulted manner. Please, dear boss, talk to your kitchen a little and fire this unqualified bald man in the service.

Today for dinner with 4 people. Restaurant more than full, loud and constantly loud, thunderous music with bass, something was reduced upon notice, it was not a good conversation to have. Greek ambience was missing. The service was a bit confused, didn't know where the food was ordered, forgot my garlic bread. For me the last visit to the Bavarian Court.

The food was really delicious! Very nice staff, the appearance of the restaurant is very attractive, quick service. In short, if we could have given 6 stars, we would certainly do so.

Have been to Elia several times. It was very good every time. We can only recommend it if you want to eat Greek. The beer garden is also very nice.

Unfortunately the food did not meet our expectations. The gyro pan was extremely seasoned, rather salty. The salad was, well, edible. Vinegar and oil were not served. The salmon was hard, so the cooking point was not reached. The food also came suspiciously quickly. In my opinion, the quality is not right for the prices that are quoted. Service staff weren't particularly attentive either. It's a shame, because the hotel in whose building the Elia is located is really great.

Food was delicious. Price performance ratio is 👍

The quality of the food is excellent. Price performance is good and the service staff were friendly. The beer garden is large with enough space.
