Griechische Taverne Zur Gartenlaube in München

Beautifully situated in a garden setting, it offers a pure Greek feel. Cozy in the countryside, and what's more than worth mentioning is the excellent cuisine and great service. After many trips to Greece and eating with Greek friends and in local restaurants, I can only say, "This is authentic cuisine." My 16 guests were and are absolutely thrilled.

We were there for the first time yesterday and will definitely be back. The service was fast and super friendly. The food was fresh and delicious.😋

Generous portions, very appetizingly presented. Pleasant seating in the garden under a large parasol, behind hedges, under trees. Service was friendly, but a bit overwhelmed ("Yes, yes!" she replied, for example, slightly annoyed, to a refill order for drinks and moved on...) Drinks were pleasantly ice-cold despite the summer heat, which is important to me and not to be expected everywhere! Personally, the "Summer Gyro" was too spicy for me. I'm not used to gyros that fiery, and I suspect the chef might have overdone the chili, paprika, or black pepper 😚 Some people might prefer it just as extremely hot. So, my opinion is subjective! Restrooms clean. All in all, a pleasant evening!

Food very good, waiting times sometimes over 1 hour...

It was a wonderful evening. That day, we stopped in just for a lemonade. When I saw the food at the neighboring tables, I thought, "Vacation!" So I returned that evening, and it was wonderful.

Our favorite Greek restaurant. Always top quality, friendly service and a lovely

Very polite staff, and the food and drinks are delicious. Highly recommended!

Great Greek, great food, nice people

It's a shame there aren't zero stars!! You wait over an hour for the food!!! And it's cold!!! and tasteless! The portion is enough to fill children! The waiter outside was also totally unfriendly. I hope people take this to heart and avoid this place!

Excellent food, good service, fair prices and cozy

Everything was excellent, the food, the wine and the service

A garden full of authentic Greek flavors 🫶🏻 Thank you for the hospitality Dimitra!!

Very good food, but we have one criticism, which we've noticed for a while now. Right after the initial order, when you're supposed to order drinks and main courses, it's often difficult to reach the waiter to reorder drinks, etc., which is a shame. Otherwise, highly recommended.

A wonderful restaurant with very good food. You should reserve a table here. We ate here every other day during our eight-day stay in Munich. The baked lamb was particularly delicious.

The portions are relatively large, delicious, and it's recommended that you share a dish between two people. It's great that they provide a box so you can take any excess food home with you. This is good for the environment and for the next day's food. There seems to be a difference: on weekends, the noise level is quite high, making conversation very tiring. This doesn't seem to be the case during the week. Service is good and fast, and they sometimes even offer a shot of schnapps afterward. What I personally found a bit odd is that the menu states that the souvlaki dish comes with three skewers. Two were served without comment, and only when I asked did I get the answer that they were larger, hence only two. I can't say if that's true, as it was my first time eating there. Overall, it was quite nice, but I wouldn't go back again. There isn't any parking directly in front, but it's available with a ticket along the main road within walking distance. If there are events at the Olympic Stadium or Ice Hockey Arena on the same day, it will be difficult to find a suitable spot.

One of the best Greek restaurants in Munich per my humble opinion. On a warm day in the Gartenlaube an aperol or beer is just…*chefs kiss*. I recommend the calamari and the wraps (only available for dinner and to take-away), but everything I’ve tried has been amazing!

A nice and good selection, the dishes are really nicely presented and the portions are okay. I just didn't like the acoustics that much, it's quite loud.

Sensational good cuisine, super friendly service. Nice location. We will be happy to come back.

Please don't go. Then I have no more space..., 😜

The restaurant is perfectly located in an allotment garden. The price is now rather too expensive. Has developed rather negatively over the years. After a complaint, the statement came: We can't (don't want to) change anything about it because it's financially too expensive to change the situation. It's a shame actually.

Very nice restaurant and friendly staff. Delicious!

Very good restaurant, good food, great service. To recommend

Very nice place and suitable for children

My favorite Greek! Great food, very nice place to stay.

The best Greek in Munich for decades, definitely for me

The food is very good, the price-performance ratio is very good, the atmosphere is good and the service is super friendly 👍🏻

Service, food, location excellent!

This was such a perfect spot, great food, good beer, the pics dont do the atmosphere justice, it was relaxing and comforting. And the owner/staff were friendly. I highly recommend dropping in for a casual dinner or drinks.

Consistently good and honest cuisine. Always my pleasure !

A very lovely and really tasty place 🫶

Our favorite Greek restaurant, super delicious food, the service is always friendly and quick, even when it's full 👍👍👍In the summer, the large outdoor area in the middle of the allotment garden is so beautiful!! 🌿🌷🪴🙂

very nice staff, very good food

We really enjoyed that place, firstly the food is completely amazing and delicious, it was very taste and big size. After there was the party time, which we did not expect it, but the place it very well decorated and huge.

There just aren't enough stars for this store! Top!!

Unreservedly recommended! Best fish platter in a long time and always attentive and very friendly service!

You can eat really well here. Gladly again!

In my opinion the best Greek in the city - and I say that under the premise that I stopped eating Greek food some time ago because I was used to a different standard after a long holiday in Greece. However, here you can find authentic Greek cuisine with the hospitality of the Greeks! Of course, not only my friends and I know this, but also many others. Therefore always reserve! In summer it's also possible without it, as there is also space outside. ;)

Seit vielen Jahren gehen wir regelmäßig hier zum Essen. Die Speisen sind hervorragend, das selbstgemachte Gyros immer wieder lecker. Wir sitzen sehr gemütlich und werden hervorragend bedient. Es ist erstaunlich wie gut bei der großen Anzahl von Gästen die Küche, aber vor allem der Service (besonders bei so vielen Leuten im Sommer) klappen. Das muss ein Lokal der Gartenlaube erstmal nachmachen.

Great restaurant in a relaxed atmosphere, our waiter was really a 5/5 and the food can only be recommended. Large portions and great prices!

Great restaurant in a relaxed atmosphere, the waiter was super relaxed and attentive. 10/5 ⭐️ Any time

Absolutely recommended. Nice service, good portions at a fair price. DELICIOUS and good as always

We happened to be on the way, actually wanted to look at the Borstei opposite, and found the location in the middle of the allotment garden area very pleasant. Even though we didn't have a reservation and we had a dog, we still managed to get a spot early in the evening on a Sunday. . The grill plate for two people was really tasty, and there was more rather than too little. You can taste the good quality of the meat. Not a fatty gyro, but well seasoned and lean. Tender skewered meat, fresh salad to dress yourself (we liked it with the fine olive oil and vinegar from Crete on the table). 1a minced beef for the bifteki. Plus a loose Greek mountain of tea because we were a bit cold. The ambience is simple and appropriate for a tavern in an allotment. Our dog even got a sample bite from the chef in the kitchen. Something like that always makes a good impression. And of course we were also well served. We'll definitely come back in the summer.👍🏻☺️

My favorite Greek, I have known the employees and the boss for over 15 years because I have an allotment there. I always enjoy coming by because you are warmly welcomed and immediately feel like “part” of the Greek family! Sometimes you have to wait a little longer in the evening because there is a lot going on. But it's worth waiting every time because the food is always great.

Simple, functional wooden hut with little flair and plenty of noise. But the food was great and the service was very nice. Gladly again

Cold and warm starter plates very good, gyros a bit cold, but tasted A1, side dishes plentiful and very tasty. Service was very accommodating and friendly, espresso and a bottle of Ouzo Plomari were included on the house. The ambience doesn't really suit a Greek, but it's still nice and well maintained.

We held our company Christmas party here. There were almost 70 people. Everyone praised the location and the service. The food was very well received, especially the starter plates and the dessert plates. The main courses were a bit too rich.

Delicious food. Friendly service.

…mit sehr gutem Glühwein & Hot Aperol… Aber das absolut BESTE ist der HOT INGWER… Ganz selten zu finden, aber hier grandios…BRAVO 👍🎄🎄🎄

Good food, very friendly service, short waiting time and a nice ambience 🔝👍🏻 gladly again

As always, very good food. When I'm in Munich for work, there's always one address I go to.

Great Greek restaurant. The food was very tasty. Absolutely recommended

Very cozy house, the food was excellent. The service was attentive and quick

Super tasty and the place is great!!!

I've been here many times; but this time was the last time. The service staff was totally stressed and their tone was like that of the army. After half an hour we were able to order drinks and then the food!

Great food, and even better beer.

Very friendly, good gyros, rock-solid shop. Will definitely stop by more often. Thumbs up

Great food and large portions. Nice atmosphere and hosts. It's just become expensive now. Christosteller is always great, gyros and calamari.

“Simple” Greek cuisine is always tasty here.

Very nice restaurant. Great service, great food.

Very tasty food 😊, the service was very friendly and attentive. We'll definitely go here again! Also suitable for a larger group. We were full and completely satisfied 😇👍🍀.

I was there on Friday evening, very well attended, so the waiting time was a little longer. The restaurant is located in the middle of a garden colony. Easily accessible by public transport. Price/performance OK. Food tasty and plentiful. Gyros with calamari recommended. Drinks well chilled. Guest room and toilets clean.

Everything OK. I'm a bit restricted as I need gluten free, I had a salad. The plate for 2 could have been a little larger, my friends then ordered fries. Everyone enjoyed it.

Best Greek far and wide. Food very tasty, drink normally. Prices are humane A lot of families with children go here. Of course there is also ouzo.

Lovely, quiet garden, great greek food. Friendly service.

Without big words. Simply fantastic. Celebrated my birthday there with friends. Staff very friendly.

I've been a guest here for years. I've never been disappointed. The food is always fresh and super tasty. The ambience is excellent.. nice large garden with a playground for children. A Greek family business. Always warm and friendly as usual

Ate very tasty, unfortunately we waited a little longer for the food (about an hour), but it was really busy.

Friendly “Greek” in an allotment garden. Food good, portions plentiful, prices fair, staff and owner very friendly.

Very tasty food, ambience is great and the service is also very nice

Super big portion, even for children and very tasty , Cool place for children with garden

Somehow we got the wrong day, the waitress wasn't on task, I ordered a Russian and got a light wheat beer, we ordered a grill plate for two people, we got the one for one person (the second one was then Delivered later at some point) It's completely OK that the salad is served without dressing... only here again the waitress neglected to provide us with vinegar, oil, salt and pepper at the table, which we then begged for ourselves at the neighboring table. The only thing the waitress did right was my friend's shandy. The meat was very good, except for the skewer, the meat was quite tough. The fries were quite soggy and not salted. Based on the other good reviews, I would give the tavern another chance... but if possible not this service again.

Something expensive and very average food. Scarce dishes. They directly charge you a 20 percent tip in the fra...

Every time we are in Munich (1-2x a year) we visit this tavern. The food is great, for me as a vegetarian there was always enough choice (including the daily specials) and the seating is simply wonderful! We'll be back on Friday and are looking forward to it! Γεια σας!

Been there twice, the food was always delicious and the service was very good. The sandpit with toys etc. is of course great for the kids. Reservations are recommended on days with good weather. We'd love to come back!

Un lugar maravilloso situado en medio de jardines locales y rodeado completamente de flores y vegetación. El personal era hospitalario, y nos encontraron una mesa, a pesar de que el lugar estaba lleno de lugareños. El plato que pedí, sepia a la parrilla, estaba tan fresco y bien hecho que permaneció suave a pesar de haber sido asado. El tamaño de la porción es grande, como en todas partes en Baviera. Todo es sabroso y todo el mundo es muy acogedor de los clientes. Sin duda recomendaría visitar. Дуже приємне місце, що розташувалося серед місцевих садів та огордиків, оточене повністю зеленню та квітами. Дуже гостинні господарі, які змогли знайти нам столик, не зважаючи на переповнеий заклад місцевими мешканцями. Кальмари на грилі, яких я замовляла, були настільки свіжі і так вдало приготовані, що залишалися дуже мʼякими, не зважаючи на гриль. Порції великі, як всюди, мабуть, у Баварії. Дуже раджу відвідати цей заклад. Шалено смачно і гостинно

The food was delicious and the service was very friendly and quick. Everything is great

I've eaten there many times and have always been very satisfied. But unfortunately our visit today was very disappointing. Not a kind word, not a smile - from start to finish. We felt like we weren't welcome. Maybe because we had two small children with us? We sat outside even though the weather was mixed. When it started to rain, no one helped us move the plates to a dry place. Nobody asked if it fit or if we were okay. No high chair offered for the children...nothing...Greek hospitality looks different (and we know it differently). They won't see us again any time soon, but they probably don't want to.

After a tip from the best bar manager at Macherei Munich, we visited the restaurant before the Taylor Swift concert. Actually an insider tip in an allotment garden, we felt really comfortable. Very fast service, excellent food, in my opinion the quality of the gyros is at a premium level!!! Thank you for the extremely successful stay!!!

The waiter seemed annoyed, but the food was very tasty.

Great food, friendly staff, amazing locale

Cozy restaurant with a cozy garden in the middle of a colony of arbors! We were able to get the last free table because the entire outside area was full! Nevertheless, the service was friendly and had everything under control! When ordering, she pointed out to us that the meal would take a little longer because of the many guests...really fair! The food was very good and plentiful and came quicker than expected!....gladly again!

Wonderful food as always, greek food rocks… very bad service, mood and energy of staff hence bad review. Answer the reply(dont know how to reply ) As I am asked by owner what went not right with service. I do not feel comfortable to mention precisely what went wrong, but i would add few general things: 1.service must be always welcoming the guests(customers). 2. They should not be treating one guest differently than others. 3. Customers shall not bring baby chair by themselves from a long distance, or at-least be considerate smile and show the way where to find what? 4. I read comments here, many customers mentioned same , service isn't good, and I am not complaining about they took 30 mins or more to bring food ( which actually happened) , as its trivial for me. Remember : service is most important part, probably not in Germany( may be i am wrong). Service providers take orders and bring food and drinks, they carry energy and if it is negative then food even which is super tasty and healthy will become toxic and non tasty.. all service has to do is treat all equal, smile, coordinate, don't leave customers alone, look at them, guide them when they are with elders/kids..

My favorite Greek restaurant for years. The food is always very good. Unfortunately, the quality of the gyros alone has deteriorated and the last few times were too mixed for my taste.

As a Greek person visiting this place I would definitely recommend it!

Very unfriendly service. I can't rate the food because we left straight after the "welcome". In this restaurant, customers seem to bother the waiters

I can't understand why this Greek tavern with the beautiful garden is still an insider tip. The food is super tasty, fresh and plentiful. The price-performance ratio is perfectly fine. The service was quick, very nice and brought my wife and I 2 double ouzos on the house after our meal. For dinner we had grilled chicken skewers with tzatziki, fries and salad, vegetable stir-fry and garlic pita. Plus 2 well-chilled specials. Everything tasted really good and we weren't hungry anymore after the large portions. We will definitely come back. The menu is large and has something to offer for everyone. Excellent!

Simply great - everything! Thanks for great food and relaxation!

Hugely delicious, as always! The best Greek restaurant! The tzatziki to put in and the pita doesn't skimp on garlic. Mmmh... Despite the high number of visitors, the staff are always friendly.

Super nice beer garden, delicious food and great service. First choice for a relaxed summer evening!

Nice restaurant with a good beer garden. The food was very good and the service was very pleasant and friendly, we would be happy to come back.

I ordered gyros with pita and received a baguette. It was a takeaway order and only when I got home did I find out what I had received. The meat was quite dry and I didn't get much tzatziki for this dish.

Beautiful outdoor area Were outside Food was good too. Always busy - lots going on

Worst service ever. They make you feel bad after waiting 1 hour with two hungry kids because they are busy and stressed.

Excellent. Ate very tasty. Service extremely attentive.

Very cozy and well-kept, toilets clean despite the full house. Service friendly and quick. Gladly again!!

Very nice beer garden, very tasty food

Located in an allotment garden, everything looks very new. Service took quite a long time, and I was first brought the wrong wine - sorry to say was a non-starter. Food was delicious.

The food was excellent at moderate prices, and the location in the midst of gardens with a view of greenery and flowers is beautiful and unique. The service was superb - a kind waiter who does his best to find a place for you if you can spare ten minutes waiting. We would definitely come again!

My favorite Greek restaurant in Munich. Nice service, very good food and for me a great location. Easily hidden also an absolute recommendation for sitting outside when the weather is nice. I've been here several times in the evening and at lunchtime and have never been disappointed. It's just difficult to get a table, so don't forget to reserve!

Dieses Mal hatten wir Glück und fanden ohne Reservierung am Sonntag Nachmittag einen Platz. Wie bereits seit Jahren sehr gute Speisen. Großer Vorspeisenteller für eine Person, welche aber locker für 2 Personen reicht. Tolle Calamari und frische Salate. Die Bedienung ist freundlich und trotz Massenandrang fix unterwegs. Negativ machen sich die erhöhten Preise für Getränke bemerkbar. Und daß ein halber Liter Weisswein mehr kostet als wenn man die selbe Menge als Glas bestellt!
