Gaststätte Kleiner Olymp in Bremen

I had reserved a table for three at 1 p.m. today. We arrived a little early, around 12:30 p.m. The door was still closed, but that wasn't a problem since they were just opening. Around 12:40 p.m., a man came, unlocked the door, and immediately closed it again behind him. At 1:10 p.m., still nothing. No response to knocking on the door or a phone call either. What a shame... what's going on?!

Super warm and empathetic service & great food, highly recommended!

A very nice, cozy restaurant with delicious food and very friendly staff. The kale with Bremer Pinkel sausage, Labskaus (a traditional sailor's stew), and Bremer Knipp (a type of sausage) are highly recommended.

Good, traditional cuisine with a rustic style

✨ Kleiner Olymp Restaurant – Bremen ✨ A true Bremen original in the heart of the beautiful Schnoor quarter! 🏘️🍺 Here you'll find delicious beer, hearty Bremen Knipp (a type of sausage), and – perfect for the season – kale with Pinkel sausage. 😋 A cozy little restaurant with lots of charm and truly fantastic food. ➡️ Highly recommended! 💚 ➡️ Reservations are a must! 💚

Excellent meal, very good value for money. Great welcome!

A truly fantastic restaurant. I was a little disappointed that the kale menu hadn't been published online yet, but I was all the more thrilled that they already had kale. The best thing is that you can choose your side dishes flexibly, and that they offer fried potatoes as well as boiled potatoes. But even if it's not exactly kale season, the food at Little Olymp is simply top-notch. The only downside is that the restaurant is very small. If you arrive at 12:30, you have a good chance of getting a seat. Otherwise, a reservation is not only recommended, but absolutely necessary. Little Olymp is a great place to stop after a long stroll through the Schnoor district; you can feel very comfortable here.

I had a schnitzel and some appetizers. It was very delicious, and the staff were cheerful and polite and spoke English well, so even though I don't speak German I was able to enjoy my meal without any problems. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was calm and I was able to enjoy a European feel, which was great.

Delicious food in generous portions. Prices are typical for the area, and the food is delicious. Reservations are recommended. There's even an electric parking space nearby.

The food was delicious. The portion size... 2 out of 3 people weren't quite full 😉 but that could also be our fault 🤣 Service was very nice. We asked to change tables because it was quite tight with 3 people at the small table. We were able to move, but only within a limited time, as the table was reserved again. We managed. We would have definitely stayed longer, but that wasn't possible. So we went on a walk through the community.

It was a fantastic evening! The food was very good, and the Schnoor Brewery is highly recommended!

We stopped here spontaneously for dessert and a beer, and despite the limited number of tables, we still managed to get a seat. The service was very friendly, and they serve traditional Schnoor beer. They also had Bremen red berry compote with vanilla sauce. The sauce was wonderfully creamy and light, yet intensely vanilla-flavored. The red berry compote with cherries, strawberries, currants, and blackberries was also very good. I would definitely recommend it.

The place is really cozy. However, the older waitress is quite tense and doesn't even know her own menu. She only gives rude answers and scares us away after just three minutes.

I went to Kleiner Olymp in Bremen for the first time. A really lovely, quaint restaurant with a delicious dark beer. The Schnorr beer. 😊👍 I really enjoyed the food. The fish platter and the mussels baked with cheese to start. I highly recommend it to everyone.

We went there for dinner on Saturday. Be sure to reserve a table. Service was friendly. Portions were very large and good. We enjoyed our meal. We sat downstairs near the door. It was a bit chilly in there. The women's restroom was clean, but a bit cramped.

We felt very comfortable at the Kleiner Olympia in the Schnoor district and spent a wonderful evening. The service was extremely friendly and attentive – we received excellent service throughout. The ambiance is rustic, yet very inviting and cozy. The varied menu offers a great selection of fish and meat dishes, as well as classic Bremen specialties. Everything we tried was consistently delicious. A thoroughly enjoyable evening – we'd love to come back!

Delicious traditional cuisine. A cozy restaurant with friendly service. (But not Greek, as Google suggested 😉)

A truly quaint restaurant in the heart of Bremen's Schnoor district. The restaurant is rustic yet very cozy. The menu focuses on fish, but there are also other dishes, such as steak, schnitzel, and pasta dishes. Unfortunately, there is no children's menu, and there aren't many options for vegetarians. The food was definitely delicious. The service was also attentive and very friendly.

For me, this is the most beautiful, most authentic restaurant in Bremen. Extremely delicious local and regional food! The atmosphere is very cozy. The service is excellent. If you're in Bremen, you have to stop here! Thank you for the lovely evening we had here.

A very nice, rustic restaurant with super friendly and attentive service! We'd love to go back!

A real tip. I can recommend it.

A small, cozy restaurant. The service is super friendly. Advance reservations are recommended; it's always busy, and the food is delicious. Special requests are readily accommodated (instead of the rollmops, they offered two fried eggs with the Labskaus).

Super friendly service and the food is a taste experience

We come with 8 peoples .. and they do not accept customers more than 6 .. even though we ask politely that we can sit seperately … Very very bad experience in bremen.. The girl waitress is rude too. If you are asians , do not come to this restaurant you might get racist here.

I'd been looking forward to plaice for days, and it looked good, but the taste was a complete disappointment. The plaice was watery and completely tasteless. Fried potatoes and beer were great, but they didn't make the plaice any better. It's a shame. I can't understand the good reviews. I'm really frustrated. The plaice wasn't the Little Olympus, more like the Mariana Trench. The food was great at the Knurrhahn restaurant; the fish and potato salad there were fantastic.

A wonderful, cozy little restaurant in the historic, idyllic Schoorviertel district. Delicious food, good beer, and prompt, friendly service...be sure to make a reservation, as the few tables are booked quickly. We arrived very early for dinner and luckily got the last available table.

Super friendly and attentive service, food of outstanding quality and freshness, and a wonderful ambiance in a historic building. A thoroughly enjoyable dining experience!

Make a reservation! Delicious fish dishes, friendly, prompt service! And delicious dark beer!

We liked the look of this restaurant and continued walking by, but it began raining and we quickly went back to here. Luckily we had one of the last unreserved tables. Our waitress was really friendly and helped us through the menu. We had superb food and beer.

I'd go back anytime...the food was delicious...very friendly service... .very cozy atmosphere...only a tiny negative: the fried potatoes weren't cooked long enough...the prices were completely OK...top!!!

A small restaurant in the Schnoor district, it's also a popular tourist destination. Nevertheless, the place has a quaint and very cozy charm. The traditional Bremen Knipp (a kind of German dish) was excellent, although perhaps a bit more expensive than outside the city center (due to its location).

Beautiful stylish restaurant with great food. Cozy atmosphere, fast and friendly service. Food is amazing. When the place is full, which it almost always is, it can get a bit noisy.

Nice atmosphere. Touristic place and also many locals in this restaurant. I wasn't hungry so I only tried one dish, onion soup. Delicious😋 I want to come back here again

Super delicious! Especially the soups

A Bremen institution. Quaint and beautifully decorated. There's a great selection of regional cuisine, and the quality is very good everywhere. Everything tasted delicious. I also have great respect for the waiters, who have to keep going up and down the stairs. The prices are reasonable, as the portions are also generously sized. Vegetarian dishes are also available upon request, but we'd love to add one or two more dishes to the menu.

Wonderful food, super friendly service, very cozy little restaurant.

Absolutely delicious local food with very friendly service! A must visit in Bremen

Quaint restaurant with excellent food and friendly service! We sat a little closer to a table with eight other women, but it didn't detract from the overall experience... incredibly cozy... definitely make a reservation and enjoy when visiting Bremen.

Absolute recommendation, great atmosphere and top service 🥰

The name is fitting! Here, you'll find everything you need in terms of ambiance and enjoyment – ​​just as the name suggests... We got a large table with 8 people without a reservation and were served with the utmost friendliness by the super-friendly Ms. F. – all due respect for managing the stairs! The food and drinks were equally excellent – ​​full marks! We'd be happy to return.

Very good food and Bremen-style comfort

Highly recommended, tastes excellent. It was a relaxing evening.

You can see it again: you can prepare a great meal with just a few good ingredients. The taste is completely convincing. A place steeped in history. I felt very comfortable there, as the very attentive service also contributed to the excellent result. My order was a real hit with the taste and did not disappoint. Great food without any frills, and then a great, cold, fresh beer to go with it!! Simple can be so good!!

Very good food, highly recommended! Nice waitress.

The menu, featuring Bremen specialties, is straightforward, which is usually a good sign. The food arrived after a short wait, tasted very good, and was clearly not "off the shelf." Particularly noteworthy: the very friendly service from all the staff. I'd go back anytime!

Fantastic place, in my experience there are a lot of guests every night, despite this the professional staff always manages to ensure that everyone can eat there with little waiting! The quality and presentation of the food is also very good, the prices are fair, I recommend the place to everyone and thank you again for the kindness of the ladies serving!🙂

Very good food experience in Bremen ! We picked local dishes, which were great. The restaurant room is not large, but it’s not too noisy. Thank you !

We walked in and were greeted warmly and immediately felt at home. We had a fantastic meal: carrot soup with feta cheese was a dream. For the main course, we had spaghetti with prawns and cherry tomatoes, and mushroom schnitzel with fried potatoes. We couldn't help but love it. We'd love to come back.

Nice restaurant in a beautiful location. Unfortunately, the steak and fried potatoes weren't what you'd expect.

We received truly friendly service, and the food was also delicious! Guest satisfaction was always our top priority. Highly recommended.

I highly recommend it. I had the pasta with salmon. I've rarely eaten so much salmon in pasta. The service was also super friendly.

A great place to enjoy well-prepared traditional dishes. The place is small, with well-spaced tables; perhaps a little dark inside, but still distinctive in style. Attentive and helpful service, excellent local beer, and delicious hotel-made desserts. The rest of the menu is also worth a try: the soups, fish, and the ever-present schnitzel! Prices are average for the neighborhood.

Delicious food, incl. the dessert 😋

The service was very friendly and welcoming, and the food was excellent. While there are no vegetarian dishes on the menu, this was easily accommodated by both the staff and the kitchen. The onion soup is a must!

The typical German food is delicious. We saw a sharing platter for four people on another table containing meat and vegetables; that would be a great option.

Historic venue nestled in the Schnoor fishing district. Truly beautiful. Average food; the food in Germany is much better. Their home-brewed beer is quite good, but nothing spectacular. Service is cold and a bit snobbish.

A visit to this small, traditional restaurant was one of the highlights of our city trip to Bremen. The food is delicious, well-prepared, and reasonably priced, reflecting the quality. I followed our tour guide's recommendation and chose the Bremer Knipp, a very good decision. I also really enjoyed the Schnoor beer (only on tap here). We were there with a group of 13 people and received very friendly service. The food arrived very quickly for everyone, and special requests were also fulfilled promptly. We can highly recommend this restaurant.

Super tasty, fragrant meals with friendly service

The "Kleiner Olymp" restaurant was a wonderful place for us to indulge in culinary delights. Unfortunately, this place hasn't been an insider tip for a long time. But if you reserve a table by phone in advance, you can still get there. Thank you for the excellent service and the wonderful evening it gave us. Regards, Manne from Fulda

Delicious food at moderate prices in a chic ambience

Delicious food, great service, fast and friendly staff. Cozy and atmospheric atmosphere. Highly recommended...

Super delicious. Everything was great!

I tried the knipp, it was very flavourful and big portion. Very helpful service, an ideal place to try traditional German food in Bremen.

We had a wonderful visit! The food was not only delicious but also lovingly prepared. The ambiance is stylish and cozy – you immediately feel at home. We would especially like to emphasize the friendly and attentive service. We will definitely be back! Highly recommended!

A true gem of traditional German cuisine – highly recommended! We recently had the great pleasure of visiting this wonderful restaurant – and what can we say? It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening that we will remember for a long time. Ambience: As soon as you enter the restaurant, you immediately feel welcome and at home. The ambiance is exceptionally cozy, with a touch of nostalgic charm. The decor is lovingly maintained in an old-fashioned style – wood paneling, warm colors, subtle lighting, and many small details that recall times gone by. It's a place where you'll want to linger a while because it exudes peace, warmth, and comfort. You immediately feel that heart and soul have gone into it. Food: The menu is a real highlight – not too extensive, but very well thought out. Every dish we tried was prepared with love and impressed us with its freshness and quality. The cuisine is traditional German, but by no means old-fashioned. Classic dishes like rump steak, schnitzel, fried potatoes, and various pasta and fish dishes are perfectly prepared here – perfectly balanced in flavor and beautifully presented. There's something for everyone. You immediately notice that high-quality ingredients are used here, and nothing comes from a can. A particularly positive aspect: the portions are generous, but not overly generous. Value for money: Here, too, we can only give high praise. The prices are absolutely fair – almost cheap considering the quality of the food, the loving preparation, and the excellent service. You really get value for your money here without having to forgo enjoyment or atmosphere. Service: The highlight of the evening, however, was the service. The waitress was consistently friendly, attentive, and very competent. Not only did she always have a smile on her face, but she also had something to say about every dish and helped with recommendations that hit the spot. You felt like a truly valued and welcome guest – something you unfortunately don't experience everywhere anymore. Conclusion: An all-around harmonious experience that we highly recommend. If you want to enjoy authentic German cuisine in a stylish and cozy atmosphere, this is the place for you. We'll definitely be back – and next time, we'll definitely bring friends and family!

The best food in Bremen. I tasted decently spicy spaghetti with shrimps - yum. Then some local specialty - like hash. Also yum. And I had matjesy with roasted potatoes - yum. And a local beer. I recommend it. However, without a reservation, no chance. (Apologies for the blurry photos)

I ordered the French fish soup, and it was very, very simple — I’d even say tasteless. The main course was fish with potatoes, but unfortunately, that was also lacking flavor, especially the side dish. Luckily, there’s salt on the table, so I could at least make it a bit more enjoyable. The restaurant itself looks much prettier and more authentic than the food tastes. However, the waitresses were extremely kind and friendly — they did an excellent job, and I have nothing bad to say about the service.

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere

A quaint restaurant, highly recommended! We came spontaneously, without a reservation, and were greeted and served very, very warmly! We were looking forward to the typical "sailor's feast" and were not disappointed; delicious and just as it should be, "Labskaus" 👍😊, and the service was very, very friendly. Thank you very much 🙏

Highly recommended! The food was incredibly delicious, the service was very friendly, and the apple pie for dessert...what can I say, it was a poem!

A meal in a very pleasant setting. Simple and good cuisine. Efficient and attentive service. This restaurant is a must-see next time in Bremen.

The food is really good, but the starters are quite expensive. Unfortunately, there aren't any decent options for children, so it's not recommended for families. We were a bit dissatisfied with the slow service. The restaurant was empty when we arrived, but they still made us wait 10 minutes for our table. Drinks took another half hour, and the starters didn't arrive for another hour. So, don't go here hungry.

The wife and I wanted to find a cozy restaurant with delicious fish, and here we came across this wonderful restaurant. It is located in the charming old quarter of Bremen (Schnoor). We ordered 2 plaice which were prepared a little differently. Both fish were fresh and were pan-fried in butter. They had been cooked properly so that the meat had not become dry. The bratkartoffeln with butter sauce was as it should be, without being anything special.

Very tasty, friendly service, nice ambiance, very rustic. A bit stuffy when full, but they air it out. The staff also accommodates special requests :)

A small, very nice restaurant on the edge of the Schnoor district. Classic Bremen cuisine (Knipp and Labskaus) and the Schnoor Bräu beer are highly recommended. The quality of the food is very good. The service is the best in the Schnoor district.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service was top-notch. Reservations are required. On Friday evening, we waited over 30 minutes for a table for three.

A good meal with delicious fish, the old setting is charming and elegant in a picturesque setting, the service is warm and efficient. I recommend this address if you want to taste good German cuisine: a great discovery!

Yes, everything was very 👍 good

Adorable typical local restaurant in the heart of town. We didn't have a reservation but were able to get a table sharing with a small group of young tourists. The food was tasty and abundant.

Great little quaint restaurant. Table reservations are recommended. Delicious food. The menu is very appealing.

Very nice shop Eat with good Germans.

Service was unfriendly and we left

Service is a bit slow and its a bit touristy but decent local food available.

Nice. It was a language barrier, not that much English was spoken 😅

Rude staff. Unpleasant experience. Run away.

My greatest respect goes to the waitress. The number of times she rushed up and down the stairs to the upper floor... hats off. The house specialty, the onion soup, is a must-try. I also really enjoyed the Bremer Knipp.

Nice place, dog friendly, good service, reasonable prices

We loved this restaurant. Everything from the food to the interior was on spot. The interior was intimate and cozy and the food was just amazing. It was definitely the best pasta I have ever had. Our server was very kind and we will definitely be back :)

The food is delicious, the atmosphere is great, and the staff are friendly

Great little restaurant with delicious food and local/house-made beer specialties. Prices are reasonable for the portion sizes. The restaurant is beautifully located in the picturesque streets of Bremen near the Weser River. Its cozy atmosphere invites you to linger. Highly recommended if you're visiting Bremen!

Delicious potato soup, nice atmosphere

Absolutely recommendable, haven't eaten such delicious fish in a long time, service was also super nice 💪💪💪🫶🫶🫶

Always happy to return. Excellent home-style cooking, presented and prepared in a modern style. All this in a beautiful historical setting and with friendly service.

The service was at least as good as the food. Perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The prices are still moderate for such good service and food, and definitely worth a visit.

My short trip to Bremen was already made even more special by a visit to this excellent restaurant. Great beer, even better food, and outstanding service. I'd happily return!

Great place to try traditional northern dishes

Discovered by chance and got a table right away. Quietly located in the Schnoor district. Delicious Schnoor Brewery Excellent food Friendly service

We inadvertently ended up in this beautiful, rustic restaurant with a committed vegan. The sumptuous, delicious salad with fried mushrooms, which the kitchen conjured up especially for him, will remain a lasting memory for the rest of his life. And we remembered the witty, friendly service. Fine wine and classic onion soup, herring – all highly recommended❣️

Friendly staff, very cozy atmosphere and excellent food

A wonderful evening at the Kleiner Olymp! I had the herring fillet "Hausfrauenstil" (homemade style) – simply delicious, perfectly seasoned, and truly fresh. The side salad was also a delight. The service was attentive, warm, and professional – you feel completely at home. The atmosphere was relaxed and cozy, just the right thing for a relaxing team evening. Highly recommended.
