Essbar Bochum in Bochum

Wow, what a Greek restaurant! The restaurant is somewhat inconspicuous, located in a tennis hall/club. The food was absolutely excellent. The meat on the skewers was super tender and wonderfully seasoned. The gyro was nice and crispy. The baked/fried(?) onions that came with Grill Plate 1 were simply fantastic. I would have loved to eat a whole plate of them. We will definitely eat here again.

I ate here for the first time with my wife today and it won't be the last time. Were very happy with everything, both the food and the service were brilliant. Thank God the ambience is different from that of a Greek restaurant.

Food was great. Grill plate was super tasty and waiting times for the food were great. Can definitely be recommended!

First time there and certainly not the last time. The food tastes good, but the service leaves something to be desired: I have never sat in a restaurant for 2 hours and only had one drink. It seemed to me as if all the waitresses were just waiting for the end of the day. The prices are ok. The atmosphere... definitely nice in the summer, but now in the winter I was happy to have thick winter boots. Let's see what the next visit will be like.

It's sad when there are no gyros even though you have reserved, got your seat and then 60% of all dishes that can be ordered are lost. A call costs nothing or at least the information when you enter the restaurant. Would have been great, unfortunately not a recommendation from us.

We sat on the terrace, which in winter was only closed by a tarpaulin, so it wasn't quite as cozy and warm... Otherwise, a very cozy atmosphere and nicely furnished, the staff was very, very friendly... directly attached to a tennis club, so there were good parking options, at least in winter. The food was typically Greek and the price/performance was great. We made reservations again, so we'd be happy to do so again

We were sitting in the winter garden - there was a bowl on the table into which it dripped through the leaky roof. The temperature was uncomfortably cool as there is only a plastic tarpaulin as an outer wall. The warm appetizer platter consisted of boringly fried foods. The cold one was really tasty. The liver was a shoe sole, the bifteki a dream. Overall a very mixed experience.

The edible didn't really convince me! Yes, the gyro meat was lean but still juicy and the steakhouse fries were delicious! However, for just under €16, the portion was a bit too manageable for me! Unfortunately the veal liver was grilled to death, firm and dry! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ The service was good👍

I highly recommend everything perfect food service perfect saganaki perfect grilling in the meat delicious even the salad is sweet, in general, nice dishes, and a warm welcoming terrace. Staff excellent!! Whatever you want to find in a restaurant, we will definitely go again!!!!!

My wife & I are regulars here. The food and the ambience are above average. You should make a reservation here as the shop is in high demand.

A great restaurant with very tasty food.

The food is really delicious. Vegan, vegetarian, meat. All dishes are freshly prepared. There is something for everyone. The service staff is very courteous. The offer is great. The decoration is simply beautiful. We have already celebrated a few birthdays in the Essbar. The little guests are also taken care of. There is a small play area. The terrace can be used in summer and winter. A little hidden paradise.

Just cozy at Christmas time with all the lights. Food great! Will definitely go back

Everything was absolutely great, both in terms of food and As well as the service and the ambience. Thank you and please keep it up.

Very tasty food, super nice, attentive (despite many guests) and fast staff. And the ambience is great, especially now, very beautifully decorated

Simply wonderful, very nice staff and the food is great

The children can go into a back room and play a little

Absolutely delicious 😋. Definitely recommended!

It was my first time as a guest at the Essbar, it was great. Delicious food, great dessert. There is homemade ice cream here. I'd love to come back. Thank you for the lovely evening.

The food was great again. Thanks

I went with the company I work for and they made us a very good buffet.

I have to laugh: someone here gives 1 star and writes that he doesn't know how so many good reviews come about 😂 Simply because HIS isn't true! You CANNOT rate this restaurant, this chef badly: the food is divine and I mean what I write here! The service is so nice and courteous and quick and very good, they forget NOTHING, not a drink, not a dish, not even a fork! Thank God we live nearby and come here regularly to celebrate this team and this chef and to eat really, really well 👍

Unfortunately the meat was not well seasoned and was very firm. I've eaten better in other Greek restaurants. The service handed out beer to the guests.

That was absolutely nothing! One star is still overrated! Ordered 10 dishes, completely forgot one. It only came when everyone was ready. The meat was fried dead and the fries were cold. The service is a disgrace, the waitress would rather stand outside and smoke and play on her cell phone than bring the drinks that were ordered 20 minutes ago. Can't recommend, the reviews are incomprehensible.

Very nice Inconspicuous because the restaurant is located next to the tennis court. Highly recommended

Everything fine! Price performance is right, good food, nice staff, we were very satisfied and would like to come back. Reservation is an advantage.

Great service, delicious food, ok prices, on-site parking, recommended

Very, very bad service. Just throws the cutlery down and food falls off the plate. When the food was brought, we waited about 1 hour 30 until everyone had their food👎👎

It was very comfortable. The food was delicious and the service was very nice and accommodating. We definitely won't be there for the last time.

Very well prepared and tasty dishes. Everything fresh, delicious and homemade; The creative ice cream variants are also made in-house. Well-kept and pleasant atmosphere, both inside and in the cozy winter garden, where we had our table. The always friendly and professional service rounds off the lovely evening. One of my favorite restaurants in Bochum.

Average in every respect! Koch obviously uses a lot of ready-made products.

Super tasty. Service also great. The ambience is good, but you're just looking at tennis courts. There's always entertainment, so you should know. Otherwise you can recommend it.

Everything fine! Price performance is right, good food, nice staff, we were very satisfied and would like to come back. Reservation is an advantage.

Reserved a table at short notice and had a very good meal. 👍 Food great and service friendly and attentive. A real recommendation.

Nice restaurant, delicious food, decent prices and really friendly, attentive service staff. Really recommended.

It was our first but not the last time in the Essbar. When we arrived at rush hour late on Sunday afternoon, we could only be offered a seat inside because we hadn't made a reservation. Since the large patio doors were wide open, we felt like we were sitting outside. We already noticed the delicious vinaigrette on the salad. Gyros gratinated with Metaxa sauce and Bifteki were also very tasty. To finish, we chose - for two people - the baked figs in orange sauce with vanilla ice cream and cream, which were a hit! Completely satisfied and completely round, we can absolutely recommend the Essbar.

A very cozy and delicious 😋 Greek restaurant. TOP service and the food was great. The view from the restaurant terrace of the tennis courts🎾 is also interesting. We will be back.

Niko, it's always nice to be with you, a place to feel good, with lovely people, thank you for being here

Delicious and inexpensive! I'd love to come back

Very tasty food, normal prices, nice atmosphere. We had grill plate 1 without liver and schnitzel with spinach, very tasty.

Incredibly delicious food, friendly service and a lovely ambience. The restaurant is located directly next to a tennis court. There are also enough parking spaces available. We were there for the first time and would love to come back

Very good Greek restaurant with a great outdoor terrace overlooking the tennis court. The staff is very friendly, the food is very well prepared. Prices are completely reasonable for the quality. Were there for the first time and can highly recommend it. There are also plenty of parking spaces there.

Celebrated our nephew's communion. The staff was super nice and the food tasted really good! We had a buffet. This was constantly being replenished. We really enjoyed it! Top!

Very nice location and delicious food!

We were there for the first time today and were already thrilled. We spontaneously got a seat for 6 people. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Our food was very good and sufficient. All in all we are very satisfied and if we are in the area again we will stop by again. 👍👍

Simply delicious. Price/performance really good. The offer of smaller portions (senior plates on request) is also great.

Food very good. Great value for money

Thank you for your great service. My son and his guests felt very comfortable with them today. Food very tasty, service and ambience top... again and again

We were there today for the first time, but definitely not the last. Everything was just right.

Great as always, it's just a shame that the chocolate dessert is no longer available as a dessert

It was really tasty and the service was very attentive.

Very good menu, varied but not overloaded. Excellent service, very friendly. The work processes are very well divided and optimized among the staff, so that there is no unrest despite the restaurant being full. Prices are okay for what you get. The food itself is incredibly tasty and prepared with love, not overly seasoned and not too bland. It's important to book in advance as the restaurant is deservedly very popular. It's definitely not the last time I've been here. Thank you for the lovely time here and the delicious food.

Super tasty, top service, I always enjoy being here.

All very good, but in terms of quantity I'll have a starter next time.

Food very tasty 😋 whether from the menu or buffet, everything was delicious. The service was very attentive and always right there without a long wait, very friendly 😊 I can always recommend it. 👌😍Thank you and keep it up 😊

Nice ambience. Classy with super friendly & attentive staff. Food really good and recommended. Gladly again

Prices and service good. Ambience ok

Super delicious food. The restaurant is always busy, especially in summer when tennis is still being played on site. If you have a table, preferably reserved, it still doesn't take too long

Although the food was a buffet (due to a baptism) it was quite tasty, the staff very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere very nice....if we come back to Germany we will visit again.

Good breakfast, nice service, nice decoration, fair prices

Modern Greek restaurant. The food and service were excellent. The restaurant was completely full, but we didn't have to wait too long. We'll definitely be back.

Always my pleasure. Delicious food and pleasant atmosphere

Tastefully decorated restaurant, not typically Greek, with excellent food.

Very nice and good restaurant with very friendly service. The food was really delicious. If I am ever in the area again I will definitely come back.

Super beautiful and really delicious.

Very nice atmosphere, very friendly staff and delicious food 👍. Kind regards from Sauerland

Great place. Authentic. Yummy. I'd love to come back.

Very tasty food and super friendly staff, come here regularly.

Always my pleasure. Super delicious food and the staff is super friendly and accommodating 👍just great 😊

Quality food at a reasonable price. You should make a reservation in the evenings and on weekends, as there are relatively few spaces available. I'm a satisfied customer 👍

Good Greek next door to a tennis club.

The restaurant tester has nothing to complain about. While looking for a Greek restaurant in Bochum we came across the Essbar. Without a reservation we were lucky that we were allowed to stay. We ordered different dishes, all of them were very tasty. The staff were very friendly and attentive. What should be emphasized is the good price-performance ratio. The only small flaw was the open door to the preparation room when you walk from the entrance into the restaurant.

Sehr aufmerksamer und freundlicher Service. Stimmiges Ambiente und gute Küche. Eines meiner Lieblings-Restaurants in Bochum.

Super netter Service und leckeres Essen!

Wir waren mit dem Essen und dem Service sehr zufrieden. Trotz vollem Haus und viel Hektik hat alles bestens geklappt. Essen war gut abgeschmeckt und nicht von Gewürzen überlagert. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall noch mal wieder!

Super Weihnachtlich geschmückt, wouw, waren alle begeistert. Personal kompetent und freundlich. Obwohl es voll war, bekamen wir schon nach 1/2 Stunde komplett unser bestelltes Essen für 8 Personen. Immer wieder gerne hin.

Tolles Lokal und gutes Essen. Gerne wieder.

Absolut empfehlenswert. Das Essen ist top und schmeckt sehr gut und ist reichlich. Bin sehr zufrieden und meinen Geburtstag dort gefeiert.

Sehr nettes griechisches Restaurant an der Harpener Tennisanlage. Leckeres Essen und toller Service. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Essen und Lokal kann man nur weiterempfehlen. Gerne wieder

Wir sind absolut begeistert. Sehr sehr freundlicher Service. Essen absolut Spitze! Und super Kinderfreundlich. Es stehen sogar Spielsachen für die kleinen bereit. Wir haben direkt einen Tisch für Weihnachten reserviert! Daumen hoch!

Das Essen war gut. Die Bedienung war freundlich und aufmerksam.

Kann ich nur empfehlen! Guter Service, lecker Essen und schönes Ambiente ‼️ Komme gerne wieder 🤗🤗

Das Essen war hervorragend und das Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend Ich werde das Restaurant bestimmt noch öfter besuchen.

10/10 Perfekter Zaziki 1a Metaxasoße Wir kommen gerne wieder

Große Auswahl auf der Speisekarte.

Top Leute am Werk! Sehr empfehlenswert ✌️

Super freundlich und tolles Essen

Sehr schönes Lokal,sehr gemütlich. Das Essen ist super,egal was man bestellt und das Personal sehr freundlich und entgegen kommend.

Wir waren heute in der Essbar. Positiv war das gute Parkmöglichkeit vorhanden sind. Negativ. : Wir haben den ersten uns angebotenen Tisch abgelehnt. Danach haben wir einen Tisch genau an der Garderobe war und die Tür zu den Toiletten.Getränke kamen recht zügig. Auf das Essen haben wir dann 45 Minuten gewartet. Ich hatte einen Grillteller mit zusätzlich etwas Gyros. Das Gyros war sehr grob geschnitten und trocken. Alles andere Fleisch war auch sehr trocken.... Die Bedienung war freundlich.

Von außen eher unscheinbar. Von innen richtig toll. Essen super. Sehr kinderfreundlich. Man sollte auf jeden Fall einen Tisch vorab bestellen.

Das Essen war sehr gut und sehr freundliches und zu vorkommendes Personal sehr gute Atmosphäre kann man nur empfehlen

Einen tolles Lokal mit leckeren Speisen aus Griechenland, ich war heute mit 2 Freundinnen das erste Mal dort und wir waren mit allem rum um zufrieden und glücklich und waren definitiv nicht das letzte mal dort. Leute probiert es aus, es wird euch schmecken und gefallen.

Die Essbar ist der ideale, gemütliche Ort um mit Freunden eine schöne Zeit zu haben. Man sollte zwar bei mehreren Personen vorbestellen aber zu zweit habe ich immer einen Tisch bekommen. Man kann auf der Terrasse draußen sitzen. Im Sommer ist es angenehm kühl und im Winter gemüdlich. Tolles Essen obendrauf. Lecker.

Essen sehr lecker für einen Imbiss der zum Tennisverein gehört. Wir kommen regelmäßig ;)

Es war sehr lecker. Der Service war toll.

Sehr schönes Restaurant im Tennis Club. Die Speisen sind sehr lecker und die Bedienung nett und aufmerksam. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Haben nur Apfelstrudel gegessen, war leider noch nicht ganz durch. Optisch aber sehr schön serviert. Sehr nettes zuvorkommendes Personal. Das Essen dort soll aber sehr lecker sein, meine Frau ist begeistert. Restaurant in einem Tennisclub
