Poseidon Restaurant in Erlangen

Highly recommended! An institution in Erlangen. Quality, tradition, kindness and professionalism. The summer garden is a holiday in Santorini. Generous portions and honest prices, practically the perfect formula. We are now loyal customers and have never been disappointed. Keep it up!

Yesterday, the three of us spontaneously went for dinner. The veal liver is highly recommended.

Always delicious and fast, professional service in a pleasant atmosphere, also in the large beer garden.

Greece in Erlangen! Excellent service, fantastic Hellenic cuisine. Simply top-notch!

What an incredible dining experience! Poseidon in Erlangen is an absolute gem — the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve stumbled upon a secret slice of Greece right in the heart of Bavaria. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm, happy smiles and attentive service that never once felt forced or rushed. The team here genuinely enjoys what they do, and it shows in every interaction. The outdoor space is simply fantastic — spacious, inviting, and perfect for long, relaxed meals with friends, colleagues or family. It’s the kind of setting that invites you to stay a little longer, order another glass of wine, and soak in the atmosphere. The menu is everything you’d hope for from a Greek restaurant and more — generous portions, authentic flavors, and a wide selection that caters to every taste. Whether you’re craving grilled meats, fresh seafood, or vegetarian delights, Poseidon delivers with quality and heart. I’d come back here again and again. It’s rare to find a place that nails hospitality, food, and ambiance all at once — but Poseidon does just that. A true highlight in this part of the world, and a must-visit if you’re ever in Erlangen. Highly recommended!

The beer garden is nice and there are enough umbrellas in case of emergency

This was always our second favorite Greek restaurant in Erlangen. A while ago, we wanted to eat here and asked in advance if the €50 voucher we had from before the coronavirus outbreak was still valid. It had expired about three to four months ago. We were told it was no longer valid. I found that rather cheeky, as many restaurants had been very accommodating due to the lockdown. We weren't even offered a small concession, such as allowing us to use some of the remaining portion. The same thing happened to my sister here. We haven't been going there since. It's a shame, because the food is actually very good.

Have been there many times always perfect.

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff was very friendly, attentive, and professional.

A true piece of Greece! We visited the Poseidon restaurant and were absolutely thrilled! The atmosphere is warm and inviting – you immediately feel like you're on vacation. The food was simply outstanding: fresh, authentic, and prepared with love. The grilled lamb chops and the homemade tzatziki are especially recommended – a dream! The service was attentive, friendly, and very accommodating. The value for money is definitely right here. We'll definitely be back – thanks for the wonderful evening! 🇬🇷🍷 🇹🇷

My steak was cooked to perfection, and the side dishes were delicious. The salad was fantastic. And I enjoyed the panna cotta. You have to go there.

Wow amazing place, nice service and good food. I highly recommend it

Very tasty food in a beautiful atmosphere. The staff is impeccable! Recommended!! 😁

We were in Erlangen again after 8 years and of course had to stop at our favorite Greek restaurant. The anticipation was worth it. Just like back then, it was just right. Our two children also really enjoyed it and enjoyed it. Thank you very much.

Price performance service, top...!!!

Excellent flavor. Good service and quiet place.

Food very good, as well as service and friendliness

Wir waren mit zwei befreundeten Paaren Abendessen im Poseidon. Ein Pärchen musste den Abend vorzeitig abbrechen, weil es ihr plötzlich sehr schlecht ging (Bauchkrämpfe etc) und 4 weitere Personen von uns hatten im Verlauf der nächsten Stunden auch alle Bauchschmerzen, Blähungen, Durchfall, Erbrechen und eine sogar Fieber. Wir wissen nicht genau, an was es lag, haben aber den Auberginensalat im Verdacht. Den hatten jedenfalls alle Betroffenen. Der ansonsten sehr nette Abend war dadurch natürlich komplett überschattet. Das Restaurant wird uns nicht mehr sehen. Ich gehe heute (3 Tage nach Restaurantbesuch sogar zum Arzt, weil die Symptome einfach nicht verschwinden wollen).

Went to Poseidon today and absolutely loved the ambience and the loving, friendly hospitality. The food was excellent and highly recommended. We had a wonderful evening with great food, nice hospitality and delicious drinks. Addition . Since we liked it so much, we went back a day later and were really excited. If we're in the area again, we'll definitely go to Poseidon again

One of my favorite restaurants in Erlangen. The food is very tasty and fresh. When I go, I always order something different to eat and I’m always surprised. I need to say that I love the Moussaka and the traditional desserts. And the service is always perfect. I really recommend it!

Poseidon is a Greek flagship restaurant. The service is super attentive and always on hand. The food, in my case gyros and bifteki, had a very good taste and was freshly prepared. The gyro was juicy and crispy at the same time. The dining room is stylish, but for my taste it could have been a little cooler.

Excellent! Great staff with great food

A restaurant with delicious seafood. Staff are friendly

A beautiful and stylish Greek restaurant. The fish plate was nice and the liver was also delicious. In general, we were satisfied. The coffee we ordered after the meal came with sugar, it should have been asked in advance, and water was not brought with it, so I am giving one point less.

Always serves a good food with a lot of amount. I always leave the restaurant with full belly. If you are looking for seafood or griled steak I would go here. It is tasty.

Here you are not just a guest, but almost a member of the family. You are great!!!!

A really good Greek restaurant.

It is a first class restaurant with attention to detail. Food was great and service the best. The Ouza is a nice touch 👌 Thank you for a great experience.

Great place! Highly recommended. Great good! Atmosfere.

The food was prefect. The grilled octopus served here made me realize that octopus is for sure my favorite seafood. My colleagues were similiarly satisfied with their starters. As for the main course, my lamb kotletes were simply perfect. I can't remember when last I had lamb so good. The fried potatoes were also inredibly tasty. I highly recommend this place.

Very nice restaurant with delicious food. We stopped by here by chance and were not disappointed. The staff is friendly and the food is very tasty.

Super nettes und sehr aufmerksames und freundliches Team und sehr schmackhaftes Essen mit einem passenden Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und das schon über mehrere Jahre bei konstanter hoher Qualität! Sehr empfehlenswert!

Decent Greek restaurant in Erlangen. Food and service are good.

It's a shame, it's a shame, I was a regular guest for 30 years. Became more and more exclusive and disproportionately more expensive. A great restaurant - you like to see Mr.Dr.xxx or Mrs. von yyy there. No longer a restaurant for the “normal” citizen. Well We'll probably have to look for another Greek. Take care Poseidon 🤔

The food was excellent and the service was very friendly!

We were 100% satisfied: the starter plate was excellent, the extremely tasty creams of sheep's cheese, eggplant, fish rye and the tzatziki were a poem, but also the "little things" like really good olives (Kalamata, not cheap colored stuff) or the fantastic feta made the enjoyment perfect. Also highly recommended are the baked zucchini/aubergine! The main courses were also excellent, everything fresh, tasty, perfect! Most praise goes to the delicious moussaka, it's great that it's on the menu, authentically Greek and to the grilled fish platter, great fish, calamari and scampi grilled to perfection! Yummy!!! We happily recommend Poseidon!

Best Greek in Erlangen! Everything was great 🤩 The guests are taken care of here!! 1A dishes, friendliness of the staff, service... the overall package is unbeatable😚. It's a little more expensive than average, but great quality!

As always, everything is fine. Whether in the beautiful beer garden in summer or inside the restaurant.

Good layout of the tables - large - small. Staff friendly, funny and helpful. The food was extremely tasty. Parking is available in the yard and outside, but please do not occupy parking areas belonging to neighbors/residents

Once again a really nice evening with great food in a very nice atmosphere.

I don't understand why many people think the food here is good. Dried pork on a skewer, over-seasoned mince, burnt shrimp, food like it was 30 years ago. The decor is nice and we felt comfortable, but the food was pseudo-Greek and average. What should the operators do if the customers want it that way - still a shame for us.

Das Essen war sehr lecker. aber leider war der Ouzo warm und nicht eisgekühlt, das Bifteli lecker und saftig aber ohne Feta (ich kenne es nur mit). Der Salat mit leckerem Dressing.

Beer: among others. Kulmbacher Food is great! Only recommended.

After my third visit to Poseidon, a review is finally due. I've been here twice with colleagues, today with the family. Incredibly good food. Regardless of whether there was a large or small group, the food came super quickly. And it is so incredibly delicious. Gyros tender yet crispy, souflaki so delicious. The rice is a poem. The service is very attentive and the restaurant is modernly furnished.

I've been coming to Poseidon for years. The food is still very good.

small portions and a bit expensive

Unfortunately the food was a bit too salty and the prices are quite high. But you sit well and the service was great.

The Greek restaurant impresses with fantastic food of the highest quality, making every dish a delight! The stylish and very well-kept interior rounds off the experience perfectly and creates a pleasant atmosphere!

Everything was great 👍 we had lunch here. Fast service and a fair price

Actually a good restaurant, but the prices have been going through the roof for some time. Therefore points deducted.

Everything is great, I recommend

The food was perfect. Very good! The restaurant was very nice. The vine leaves with rice and lamb are highly recommended. and very good hospitality

Always a good choice for Greek food.

First visit to Poseidon with family. Ambience very nice, service courteous and quick. Starters good to very good. The saganaki from the oven was particularly great. Unfortunately, the normal one is not so special. The tzatziki average. The main courses excellent. Rarely get such good meat. No matter whether steak, souvlaki or gyros. Extremely tender and not dry at all. The side salad also had a perfect dressing. Prices are a bit more faithful. Would love to come back.

Have been enjoying Greek food here for several years. The food itself tastes very authentic and is delicious. However, one thing really bothers us: in the higher price range we expect tzatziki to be included in the price of a plate. Unfortunately none. It must be ordered and paid for separately. We know this differently from other Greek restaurants. The prices for the starters have also risen unpleasantly, so that you can no longer afford them. Unfortunately, often only 0.33 l drinks. Still recommended for those with larger budgets.

I’ve almost given up on Greek food but these guys know what their doing - esp Fish. their beergarden is beautiful

Great atmosphere in the beer garden, great food and good service. You don't need anything more

Great restaurant, good food with a large vegetarian selection, nice service, nice ambience with lots of space, reservation was not necessary so far

Business dinner with agreed starters and à la carte courses. The appetizers were a spectacle. Real Greek cuisine. I took the mixed platter: all excellent meat, the lamb ribs memorable. The wines are good Courteous, friendly and non-intrusive service Everyone was kind and helpful To date the best Greek restaurant outside of Greece that I have ever tried.

When the restaurant is full, there is a lot of noise

Great food...nice service and comfortable ambience. Baklawa is one of the best you can get anywhere. Good authentic Greek food served and options available even for a vegetarian. Parking may sometimes be an issue, but you would get it more often than not in one of the adjacent domestic roads.

A cozy restaurant with outstanding authentic Greek cuisine - you can tell that the family and their staff put their heart and soul into their job and give the guest a little break from this hectic world - simply great

Upscale Greek restaurant with exceptionally good quality. The meat dishes were perfectly grilled and the gyros were nice and crispy. I have rarely eaten such good Greek food anywhere.

One of the better Greeks in Erlangen. Very good food. Nice ambience. The service is incredibly friendly and attentive. You should make a reservation. Parking is a bit difficult.

Very good restaurant, delicious food, welcoming atmosphere and great service. I recommend.

It was very tasty and the beer garden is really nice.

Primitive operation. The four of us just wanted to order a few drinks, then maybe something to eat later. Nobody informed us at the entrance that it wasn't allowed and we had to order food straight away like at McDonald's...The "manager" gestured primitively across the beer garden to us. We just decided to just leave this place. I won't recommend it. I don't like places without class. I've spent a lot of money here in the past. Food is okay, but not the best Greek in Erlangen. I'm never coming back. 🤢😉

Best Greek. Very nice beer garden!

Great atmosphere in the beer garden 🙂

I heard a lot of good things about this restaurant so I went to eat there during my big break. The reception and handing over of the menu was friendly. But then: In the middle of ordering, the waiter preferred to attend to incoming guests and let me wait first, which in my opinion is not appropriate! Taramas and octopus salad were delicious but there wasn't enough bread - so I ordered some more. I wanted to order something else and was completely ignored despite clear hand signals, even though various waiters often walked past my table. When I told the waiter (coincidentally the one who welcomed me in a friendly manner), his explanation was very simple: "We also have other guests." Apart from the fact that I had to leave again, it got to the point that I had no appetite or desire to eat or drink anything else there 😟!! The kicker was the bill: They charge extra money for 3 small slices of bread (guess baguette or ciabatta) 😠!!!! This is the first Greek restaurant that charges extra money for re-ordered bread (as mentioned, there were only 3 small slices!!)!!! I can understand it when a guest or guests order bread again and again and again. I, on the other hand, only reordered once and expressly said that I needed a little bread!!! When I asked the waiter who had paid me about it, his explanation was: "That's just the way it is with us" 😳!!! They say: "Never say never" but after the frustrating negative experience 😥 the likelihood that I will enter this restaurant again is extremely low!!!!!

Great outdoor area even when it rains. Food very tasty and varied. The service was also impeccable. Deserved five stars

as a turist , i can definetly recomend Poseidon restaurant to everybody. Delicious food great service and wonderful ambiance.

Soooo good souvlaki. We haven't tried the rest yet.

The Biergarten is beautiful and the food delicious as always!

Very good restaurant with good food and attentive service

Perfect garden, super delicious food, large selection, great organization, very nice service, The only restriction: the gravel surface within the tiled border (paths) is extremely unfavorable. The chairs can only be moved with great difficulty. Best regards

Great team, very good food 👍🇬🇷 friendly boss, nice welcome and farewell 👍🌞 you sit very nicely in the garden

Great garden with large parasols, in a quiet area. Very good Greek food, top quality and very good selection. Very nice and fast service. The best Greek in Erlangen. Sufficient parking spaces available.

Had dinner here in the beer garden after a sunny day. The garden is relatively large and modern. You sit very comfortably. The staff is very attentive, helpful and quick. Everything from the starter to the main course to the dessert was very tasty. The price is absolutely right for Erlangen. The only difficult thing here is parking, which is typical for the city. Conclusion: I am very satisfied. I'm already looking forward to the next time.

Very great atmosphere and delicious food! You feel like you're in primal magic 😃

Beautiful location with large fresh garden, good food, moderate prices.

Delicious food. Service friendly and attentive.

What a wonderful thing, expresso

Food more than very good👌🏻. Fast service and very friendly

I've been waiting for my drink for 45 minutes

Not a place for kids. Staff provided wonderful service but for sure not tolerant of kids

Super juicy souvlaki We were there with family. Service was friendly, the restaurant was completely reserved, a good sign. The menu had the usual suspects, with the Stifado being a special feature, which is not available everywhere. The souvlaki was world class, juicy and tender, not dry like you often get. Only the volume was a bit high, but that doesn't justify deducting points. Gladly again.

Musaka was served quickly but half warm. Hopefully it's been in the fridge and not just lying around for hours.

Unfortunately, Poseidon has noticeably weakened after Corona. Be it in the service but especially with the food. The service employees are overwhelmed, listless and sometimes very snippy. Questions are often answered rather unfriendly. The quality of the food is now worse than it used to be, but the prices have of course increased (which wouldn't be a problem if the quality remained the same). We have already had the situation where a piece of meat was served still half frozen. It's really a shame, because they really mastered the craft. Appeal to the owners: please concentrate more on the essentials, then you'll be happy to come by again!

One of the best restaurants in Erlangen!

Reordered a drink 3 times and forgot each time. After 30 minutes our ordered drink finally arrived. No apology - nothing.

A good recommendation every time. Great team - thank you

Mega expensive Portions an absolute joke. Mega small

The prices have risen considerably but so has the quality. The service is very friendly and you can have a nice evening.

Excellent food and very nice ambience

A la Chef Platter: Meat partly without spices and very little tzatziki. Saganaki in the fryer too long. For these prices I expect more.

We have enjoyed going to Poseidon for many years. Either in the beautiful and well-kept beer garden or in the restaurant. Food very good - only the salad could do with more refinement. Service nice and attentive. Unfortunately prices are a bit expensive.

Delicious Greek food. Ambiance and service good

Total well-being with enjoyment, service and ambience. Soon again with Saki M. in the garden area

Especially great in summer! Very elegant outdoor area with lots of tables. The food is very good, I always have the juicy bifteki. One of my favorite restaurants in Erlangen.
