Restaurant Athene in München

Today was our first visit to Restaurant Athene. I was absolutely thrilled. The food was excellent and the service was incredibly friendly. The kids loved it too. See you next time, Alexandra.

Delicious food, friendly servers, and a pleasant atmosphere. We loved our stay with you!

The Athene is superb. Great food, great service, too. Greetings from Northern Germany, especially to Sokrates.

Good Greek food, fair prices and great service.

Very, very friendly service, the kind you rarely experience these days. The dishes we had were consistently good. Solid Greek cuisine.

Great restaurant, impeccable service, you feel at home here. Highly recommended on the otherwise overpriced Nymphenburger Strasse. The friendliness is almost unbeatable. I personally can absolutely recommend it.

A large capital like Munich offers you the chance to "escape" the routine of German food, with many restaurants representative of other culinary cultures. A magnificent example of this is this Greek restaurant, where the menu, packed with classic dishes from that country, invites you to indulge yourself. In my case, I ordered the baby squid and grilled octopus (€20.90) with fried potatoes and boiled potatoes. The squid was especially delicious. I accompanied it with pita bread (€2) and Paulaner Dunkel beer. For dessert, an Einscaffe (€4.90). I was served a complimentary shot of Ramazzotti. Definitely a place to return to.

One of the best Greek restaurants I tried in Munich, the staff is super and friendly and the food moussaka and the baklava was amazing and delicious!

Very good food and top-notch service! We felt very comfortable. Highly recommended! Thank you!

This policy is unfair; they will consistently kick you out after a slight delay beyond their stated working hours. Sometimes, they claim that only cash is accepted because normal working hours have passed. Overall, they provide poor service, low-quality offerings, and disrespectful treatment. It's disappointing, especially since I work in the neighborhood.

Writing a late review but amazing food and service. Definitely deserves 5 stars. Efharisto!

I've been a regular for a while! Great food and amazing staff!

Really good food and hospitality! I just wish the restaurant looked a bit more Greek.

Service like this is rare these days. All in all, a perfect restaurant. The homemade baklava is highly recommended :-)

Weil wir uns in der Nähe der U-Station Maillingerstraße befanden, besuchten wir zum Mittagessen das sehr gut bewertete Athene. Als oft durch Griechenland gereiste - Festland und Inseln - können wir die hohen Bewertungen nicht nachvollziehen: das Lammkotelett von der Athene-Platte (€ 18,90) und die Baby-Calamari (Mittagskarte € 10,50) waren zwar zart, doch insgesamt fehlte es der Platte an Würze, die Gyrosstücke schmeckten trocken und die kleinen Kalamari hätten ein paar mehr sein dürfen. Nicht zuletzt der kaum geharzte Retsina und die Dudelmusik ließen das geliebte Griechenland vermissen. Da half auch der kleine Pudding aufs Haus nicht mehr.

Fourth time at this restaurant – the food is always excellent. The staff is extremely friendly and always creates a great atmosphere. I'd be happy to go back anytime!

Food and staff were perfect, but Restaurant was too loud. I wasn't expect that much.

Very good Greek restaurant in Munich. You can breathe the true soul of the island and the staff convey the peace that can be found in life on the Greek islands. Excellent food. Super friendly staff, average prices and all in all definitely worth the stop. Try it to believe it.

There is a very good price-performance ratio here. Conditions are always cheerful and accommodating. We received the food quickly on each of our visits and were extremely satisfied!

This is my favorite Greek restaurant ever! I’ve been to Munich 4 times and always make sure to make my way here, the service is GREAT (especially our server Saki) and he remembers us even if it’s been months since the last time we’ve been. The food is so fresh and it’s a such a nice spot, 10/10 recommend!!!

Gran y muy amable servicio. Cenamos en la terraza, que era muy cómodo en una noche cálida. La comida era muy buena (los calamares a la parrilla eran súper). El precio estaba en línea con la cantidad de comida. Terminó la cena con (en la casa) ouzo.

The food was delicious. great service, I recommend There is no other place in Munich that has such good food and such great service

Great Greek!!! Friendly, tastes delicious and the service is great and super fast. I hate waiting, but here the food comes quicker than you can order. Highly recommended!

I can only recommend this restaurant! The food was really delicious and the price was more than fair (€17 for souvlaki calamari) The waiters were super nice and funny and even gave us two rounds of schnapps. Be sure to try their sweet liqueur. I will come again ☺️

Particularly nice service. Passionate service. The grilled baby calamari was very tasty. Authentic Greek cuisine. We'd love to come back.

Classic Greek cuisine, quick service, very good price-performance ratio, the garden in summer is really great.

Very nice place, perfect service and the food was very nice!!!

This restaurant is living proof of that today (March 2025) high quality, friendliness and professionalism work even without exorbitant prices. Thank you Athene for the lovely evening.

Upscale Greek cuisine with attentive service and a very pleasant atmosphere! We'll be back!

Friendly and courteous service and delicious food.

Very friendly service and good food, especially the varied starters. We were a group of 9 and were well served.

Eating at Restaurant Athene was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was exceptional, the staff attentive and the ambience was perfect for a cozy evening. Highly recommended! We really enjoyed our visit to the Athene restaurant!

Poli kala: TOP price-performance ratio! Keep it up!

Nice place with amazing service and great food 😊 It’s on the middle-pricey side but considered how expensive are Munich’s restaurants it offers good value!

We had a wonderful company evening. The team is THE BEST....Food great......Thank you very much

The best gyros I've ever eaten! Very, very nice innkeepers, it's a shame that you don't have your restaurant here in the GP/Kirchheim area!

Service is simply top And eat super delicious Happy to come back

Can really recommend, nice, courteous staff and delicious food.

Was here for the first time, always happy.

Super nice food and friendly staff!!

Great restaurant and amazing service. Would highly recommend

From the best Greek to “well”! First to order drinks and last of 3 tables to receive the “expensive” drinks upon request and then only 2 of 6! Received the rest upon request! Lamb chops way too raw and back to the kitchen! Volume catastrophic! Leg of lamb tender but unfortunately no longer with noodles and therefore a small portion! The waitress probably has his favorites! So down to 2 stars!

What a flavor this is! The best Greek restaurant we've been to, you're doing this, neighbor ❤️

So far the best Greek in Germany, very tasty and very friendly!!

Great restaurant with a cozy atmosphere inside. Polite and friendly staff. Delicious food and didn't have to wait long. Will be happy to come back. I recommend!!!

Highly recommended from A to Z! The service was very friendly, the food was delicious and the rooms were very comfortable! 5 stars are almost not enough.

Just a good shop and nice people

Great service, tasty food, nice atmosphere.

Wonderful food and nice service. Update from November 23rd, 2024: We were here again and nothing has changed: very good food and nice, attentive staff

The ambience and service were fantastic, special requests for food were easily implemented, even at no extra charge. Not to mention the taste of the food. Very courteous and attentive service. THIS IS HOW IT HAS TO BE! If I go to Munich again I will 100% visit this restaurant again. PRICE/PERFORMANCE IS TOP

I had the worst possible experience with this restaurant. I had reserved a table for 17 people and when I got there the waiter said they don't have any reservations. I showed the call history and repeatedly mentioned the time I made the reservation. They left us standing outside for a long time in the hope that maybe they could free up a spot, but they didn't. This is the worst service we have ever experienced from this inconsiderate service. You must imagine how embarrassing it was when I reserved the place for such a large group and they agreed but didn't provide tables. My god, the service providers there are completely shameless and don't know how to treat a customer. I hope these ignorant restaurant realize what they have done. This part is in response to your pathetic response of not even admitting your mistakes. I showed your rude waiter the call log. FYI: I called exactly on November 4th at 2:10 p.m. Their server even admitted that they were confused because there was a similar type of reservation. So instead of being such a liar, maybe you should try focusing on your mistake.

We celebrated our son's birthday in the Athene restaurant and were completely thrilled. The restaurant is very family friendly and the team and all the staff were incredibly warm and attentive. The food was not only extremely tasty, but was also served quickly and the price-performance ratio was absolutely great. We are very happy to have discovered this restaurant and will definitely come back! Thank you also for giving us the tables on the left - everyone was more than satisfied and extremely happy. 5 stars more than deserved. Absolute recommendation Jug family

I had a pleasant evening there, the food looked good, the service was excellent (sometimes I asked too often if everything was OK). It has become my Greek in Munich. Thanks

Waiters super friendly and accommodating, food was excellent, price is okay

Small portions for expensive money, everything is charged extra, even a dollop of tzatziki. Not worthy of a Greek

Fantastisk god mat och trevlig personal! Vi var helnöjda efter vårt besök och mycket mätta! Rejäla portioner och alla i sällskapet var mycket nöjda med maten.

Nice and friendly staff, food tasty and prepared quickly. Price performance good. Gladly again 👍

Very good food! We were very pleased! I highly recommend it

Very nice waiters, kept asking questions without seeming intrusive. And the food was very tasty! Gladly again

How do I give more stars?? Care and service? Rating 10! Food? Rating 100! Humor and joy in the environment? Rating 1,000!! What are you looking for? If it's Good food? Good drink, light and relaxed atmosphere, especially the staff... this is the place!! We loved the experience and will definitely be back! PS: We decided to visit this place because of its proximity to our hotel and the reviews. I can say that it's worth crossing the city to have dinner and have a good time here. Take a risk!!!!!

Right next to our Avis car rental place, great restaurant and great service. English menus and our waiter was very nice and helpful. The food was plentiful and amazing. I tried the Athene Sampler platter with gyro meat, rack of lamb, chicken skewer and a meatball with rice…very good! Free shot of Ozu after supper.

Justo al lado de nuestro lugar de alquiler de coches Avis, gran restaurante y gran servicio. Menús ingleses y nuestro camarero era muy agradable y servicial. La comida era abundante e increíble. Probé el plato Athene Sampler con carne giroscópica, rejilla de cordero, pincho de pollo y una albóndiga con arroz... ¡muy bueno! Tiro libre de Ozu después de la cena.

The food was great, the staff were more than nice and accommodating, everything went great, I can only recommend it.

Nothing more is possible... Podarakia and rosemary potatoes on Skordalia...

Thank you very much, it was a lovely evening

Tolles Essen, super Service. Alle Gerichte waren frisch zubereitet, geschmacklich top. Zaziki und Fischgerichte sind besonders zu empfehlen! Sehr lecker Pita!

This place in Munich let you move to Greece for a moment. Food has seafood selection and was very tasty.

A very nice Greek restaurant! The service is always very friendly and accommodating and the food is heavenly. You can especially enjoy the evening in the beer garden :)

The food was tasty, but portions were far too small. It doesn't work that way. The service is nice. It was good to sit outside.

Excellent food every time (whether it's meat or seafood), nice and very friendly staff. I would definitely recommend this and go again

The food was fantastic. Rarely have I eaten such tasty meat. The service and ambience were also great.

Pleasant atmosphere in the shade of a large tree, friendly service, good lunch menu at fair prices. We ate very well and would love to come back.

We accidentally found this restaurant while passing it on the hop on hop off bus. We decided to try it after a break from Bavarian food. It was amazing and the staff, food and service are exceptional. If you are in Munich and you would like some delicious Greek food and feel like you have been transported back to Greece give this restaurant Athene a try.

We went to this restaurant on a Friday and despite having a reservation we had to wait 20 minutes for our drinks and 50 minutes for our order to be taken. My companion gave several hand signals, but they were simply ignored. Obviously completely overwhelmed at the weekend When we got our order, the food was really good, but maybe it was because we waited an hour for it 🤷

Wir wollten je eine große Weinschorle, einmal weiß, einmal rose. Ohne etwas zu erwähnen, brachte man uns zwei kleine Gläser (0,2 l). Auf unseren erneuten Hinweis, dass wir zwei große Weinschorle haben wollten, sagte man lapidar: haben wir nicht ??? Abgesehen davon waren beide Weinschorle total sauer und nicht mit einem spritzigen Wasser gemacht - schmeckte einfach scheusslich. Auch der vom Wirt vielgepriesene Retsina ist nur teuer, schmeckt aber kaum geharzt. Früher gab es beim Ankommen sowie auch bei der Bezahlung je einen Ouzo - auch nichts mehr ! Muß man nicht mehr haben................

Restaurante Athene no está en el centro de la ciudad turística de Múnich, de hecho, la mayoría de los visitantes ni siquiera se aventurarían en este hermoso barrio (aunque deberían), pero sería muy recomendable almorzar o cenar en un delicioso restaurante griego del barrio con mucho para elegir. La comida es fresca, cocinada maravillosamente y es lo más auténtico griego que se puede obtener fuera de Grecia. Ya sea dentro o en el patio al aire libre, es la mejor opción para una comida griega en un lugar tranquilo y frondoso.

Athene plate: Tzatziki oversalted, souvlaki instead of delicate as described in the menu flowery: dry and hard, Suzuki oversalted in some places and not in others. Gyros oversalted and seasoned far too strongly. Pita bread burnt in many places and no fresh garlic, but garlic from a jar, all in all: like in many other Greek restaurants, everything was way too salty - an old trick so that people drink more. Positive: real small farmer's salad without leaf lettuce as it should be for a small extra charge. However, the cucumbers were slightly shriveled, indicating that they were prepared a long time in advance but were not covered with foil. In addition, there is no Malamatina, only overpriced Retsina in 0.2 glasses.

Lovely food, great staff and large outdoor seating area. Shame we only found this restaurant on the last day of our trip, would definitely return if we go back to Munich.

Favorite restaurant in Europe! The food is outstanding and the service even better. The waiter paid extra attention to our children to make sure they had a great experience. He made great recommendations and we loved everything! We highly recommend Restaurant Athene!

Waiter literally grabbed me in oder to move my arm out the way to put down cutlery. Absolutely rude. Seriously rude. Very sad indeed. Seriously the waiter grabs the customers like he is a nightclub bouncer. I thought I was dreaming or something like "did that actually happen?". Disgraceful. 2 stars as food was good and prices were good, but I can get good food for good prices in a supermarket. Service matters. Your service is atrocious. In response to the spurious claim I was no guest of theirs, I was a guest of Restaurant Athene in 2021, as part of a group. As previously mentioned, the food was acceptable, but the waiter, an older man at least 40 or 50, physically grabbed my arm while I was seated at the table. It is apalling behaviour from an establishment. Even in Germany, a land known for rude waiters, I have never experienced anything like this, before or since. If you did this in my country, I would honestly press assault charges.

Really nice restaurant in a neighbourhood area.

Good Greek cuisine in a nice atmosphere

Nice Greek restaurant right on Nymphenburger Str. There is a good selection of Greek dishes. The service is great

Dishes were tasty and priced reasonably, but not extraordinarily good. Service was friendly and fast. Decent place with very tasty Greek dishes.

The lunch menu is definitely recommended. The portions are a little smaller than usual, but sufficient and the price-performance ratio is completely fine. The staff seemed a bit bored at first, but still looked after us well. A large terrace with an awning offers a pleasant outdoor stay in summer.

This location is easy to find. There is a hedge separating you from the main road. Plenty of seating. The service was quick. Food was hearty and authentic greek. I ordered the mythos plate which is a combination of calamari and gyros. There is an option to have a greek salad as side. All in all good food, worth the money and highly recommended.

Nice service and very good food

Typical dishes cooked to perfection... I highly recommend it

Update summer 2024 Munich again, Athena again. As before, we were greeted warmly and served quickly. The food was served in almost record time and this time a waiter showed up regularly. Clear recommendation for anyone who wants to eat very good Greek food in Munich at fair prices. Credit card payments are now also accepted. Update summer 2021 We ate there again. The food was again excellent. Unfortunately the service wasn't very attentive this time and unfortunately credit card payments are not accepted either. Summer - 2020 Centrally located at the subway stop. Staff very friendly and accommodating. The food tastes excellent and is really inexpensive. Gladly again!

Very cozy Greek restaurant, very good service and very friendly staff…the food is very good…. We look forward to coming back

A very nice Greek restaurant! The waiter was very friendly and humorous. The roasted lamb leg he recommended is tender and does not smell like barnyard. The traditional yogurt dessert is also very good! We're gonna miss this restaurant forever.

Very good food, attentive service. Lovely again!

I think we had a wonderful experience here and it was one of the most precious parts of our trip. The food tastes very good, especially the rack of lamb and baby calamari and octopus. Originally it was honey greek yogurt, but it was thoughtfully replaced with strawberry jam (if I'm not wrong). I really like the service here, and we had a very happy chat, which enriched our sensory experience. We must not miss it!

Great service and delicious food 💯

Athene is the first Greek restaurant where I wasn't offered ouzo after eating. The meal was okay. I had the Athene record. The souvláki was good, while the gyro was a bit too greasy. There was so much garlic on the pita that I will remember it in 2-3 days. The staff could be more attentive, but they are quite nice. It's nice to sit outside under the awning. Inside, the shop is reminiscent of a sauna. The prices are quite fair, but that's not enough to make the visit something special.

Very friendly, food quick and tasty!

Beautiful place, love personal service bese friendly and efficient, 😊 topo vi go recomoracuvam... Pozz do Jorgos konobarot

The portions are manageable. You have to look for more expensive ingredients such as ink/fish on the plates. In my opinion, potatoes are frozen goods that have already been cut. Service is OK.

We came to the restaurant because of the very good reviews. Luckily for us, we were able to get a table outside without a reservation. The service is very friendly and accommodating. The quality of the food in the dishes is convincing. The food is very tasty. The prices for Munich are almost too cheap to be true. Overall, highly recommended. Bolder of the dishes will also be made on the next visit.

The service was very courteous and friendly. The food is just perfect!! Would love to come back
