Restaurant Der Grieche am See in Malchow

I've never written a review before, but I really wanted to leave one for this restaurant because it was simply exceptional and should truly be experienced by everyone. We ate with my husband and our two children in the “Griechen am See” restaurant and were absolutely thrilled. At the beginning we asked if we could eat in an empty side room because it would simply be more comfortable with the children if they got a little louder. The staff was very friendly and offered us a place immediately. We originally planned to order a rump steak, but the waiter recommended the T-bone steak. At first we were unsure because we were disappointed at another restaurant because the steak had a lot of bones. But we trusted the waiter and it was the best decision ever! The steak was simply outstanding – tender, juicy and cooked perfectly. The steak was served with delicious garlic and rosemary potatoes on the side, which tasted simply delicious. We also had an antipasti platter which was customized to our taste as we don't like fish. It was a real explosion of flavors - from the potatoes to the salad, which was prepared with a unique sauce. For dessert I wanted to try a soufflé, but unfortunately it was sold out. Instead, the waiter recommended fried ice cream, which I was happy to try. It was the most delicious dessert I have ever eaten - puff pastry, enveloping liquid vanilla ice cream, and a delicious berry compote. The thought of this dessert still makes my mouth water! We come from Hamburg and would come back anytime just to enjoy this fantastic food. The restaurant offers an excellent dining experience that should not be missed.

Very nice restaurant with friendly staff and great food. I can only recommend the restaurant! Always happy 👍

Very tasty and very good portions. The service is awesome

Very nice restaurant, large portions and tasty. Nice service, very fond of children. I can only recommend it.

Best Greek in a long time, excellent cuisine.

Noisy, cramped, we didn't get a menu when we asked for dessert

Mega delicious food and also very good service

Great location, lovingly furnished, the food is absolutely top, the garlic potatoes are a must

In a good location, cozy hotel & Greek restaurant. Has a very cozy breakfast and always nice service.

Wonderful Greek restaurant in the beautiful old town of Malchow. A little more expensive, but large portions and really tasty. We would go back in a heartbeat if we are in the area again. We had a really nice evening.

We are staying in the hotel and eating in the restaurant. Nice accommodation and also a great restaurant, highly recommended, the service is always very nice, a breakfast to feast on and all real prices.👍👍👍 We'd love to come back.

Were very positively surprised. Everything tasted great with different accents. We'd love to come back.

Exceptionally good Greek in Malchow After a week of fish and Mecklenburg cuisine, we were in the mood for a culinary change. We decided on the Greek restaurant by the lake in the picturesque island town of Malchow. The Greek, who is in the island hotel with a beautiful inner courtyard, deserves an extra point just for the beautiful location between the old town and the lakeshore. In addition to the inner courtyard summer terrace, the restaurant has a modern, cozy guest room with tasteful, high-quality furnishings - I really liked the Italian designer wall lamps from Catellani & Smith. The Greek operating family not only offers authentic dishes from their homeland - the service is also characterized by Greece's famous hospitality. To start we had the obligatory tzatziki with toasted garlic bread. The main courses, bifteki and a meze plate were excellently prepared. The bifteki is aromatic, juicy and light - no comparison to the hard-fried dry pieces of meat that are often offered. The meze plate was sensationally good - a great selection of wonderfully spicy starter classics. They were hands down the best meze we've ever tasted outside of Greece. The Greek by the Lake is our recommendation for authentic, perfectly prepared Greek cuisine.

Didn't preorder on Saturdays at 7pm and still got a table for 4. Even though the restaurant was full. Staff not hectic at all, very friendly but not intrusive. Price performance okay. If it tastes great, I'm happy to pay a little more. Even the salad before the main course... a pleasure. A few more herbs here, a leaf of lamb's lettuce there... and the dressing... oh my god, it was delicious. The gyros were great, plentiful. The fries... indescribable, almost fluffy. Not just any snack sticks. And the ouzo we ordered was on the house. Gladly again ladies and gentlemen!

Authentic Greek cuisine! Super tasty. The service is always warm :) The atmosphere is inviting and cozy. I can only warmly recommend this restaurant and am already looking forward to my next visit!

Simply always worth a visit 😋 Great food, super friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. We will definitely come back again and again 😊

There were 5 of us there and everyone was very happy! Great ambience, very nice and attentive service and delicious, tasteful food. We'll definitely be back! :)

Unfortunately the telephone number for the reservation is a number that does not exist. Therefore we couldn't stop here (with 7 people).

We were here today with seven people and we all thought it was great😊. Price performance was completely right. Thank you very much and keep it up

So I was really positively surprised today, the small inner courtyard was designed with a lot of love. Food and service were top. Price/performance ratio was great. I can only recommend it 😁

It's a shame there are only five stars for each category. We give it three extra stars. 🌟🌟🌟 Guests can expect a wonderful ambience, which can only be topped by the excellent food and exceptional service. Here the customer is still king and I don't even want to talk about the price-performance ratio. So off to Malchow if you want a really good Greek!!️👍 We would definitely like to come back. 👋

Highly recommended! Delicious food, large portions (the rest was take-away and no problem at all), friendly, attentive staff.

Very nice restaurant! Delicious food and very friendly and attentive staff

Incredibly tasty food and I would love to bathe in the garlic potatoes.

Delicious food, good service, great location. Only parking spaces are rare

It's worth traveling a little further for this. TOP

Unfortunately we couldn't make a reservation. 6 people spontaneously... were pushed between for a maximum of 60 minutes. Everything was quick and chaotic... in the end we didn't care, we were hungry. Food very tasty, but quite expensive. Then you do it on vacation.

We are here on vacation and were really impressed. The best Greek restaurant I have ever visited. The staff is almost overly friendly. Highly recommended. We'll definitely come back here for a Greek meal by the lake on our next vacation. Pleasantly priced.

We ate at this restaurant 5 times yesterday. Sometimes as a couple and sometimes as a family (+2 kids). The hospitality is always outstanding and very noteworthy. There is something for everyone on the menu. For me personally, the gyros on offer are one of the best I've ever eaten (structure/herbs/flavor). We enjoy being guests there and for us it is one of the best restaurants we have here in the region.

By far the best Greek restaurant we've ever been to! And we've been to many... (Tzatziki could be a bit more 😉)

Pre-reservation was not possible. Since we were there around 6 p.m., we still got seats. The food and service were very good

The food was good and freshly prepared, and the service was friendly and attentive despite the full house. We couldn't understand why we couldn't reserve a table. Had to go there on a “good luck” basis. It would have been stupid if we had driven so many kilometers for nothing.

To cut a long story short, unpleasant charred plastic smell in the restaurant (OK, maybe that's what happened in the kitchen). Service was friendly (but forgot parts of the order). Food: well, everything is a matter of taste, but gyros have a very high fat content in the skewer, metaxa sauce was at least 50% cream, and there were plastic parts in the calamari that were sold as bones, our little one's nuggets came out of the fry almost burnt. Yes, when there is stress in a location, things can go wrong.... But it was the middle of the week and the restaurant wasn't full... So no, not again

Hello, we ate here with four people and tested various dishes on the menu. We are very positively surprised by the quality of the food. It was nice that the dishes were balanced, i.e. not too meat-heavy. From our point of view, it is a very good recommendation to stay here. Thanks to the whole team and keep it up

I travel around the world a lot, but I haven't discovered such a delicious Greek restaurant yet! Fine, top-class gyros and other Greek dishes prepared with esprit are unparalleled. Add to that Greek hospitality with unobtrusive, friendly service, what more could you want? Maybe you have to wait for a table or no one answers the phone to reserve a table? I guess they just don't have time for it. I can't understand the strange bad reviews, but maybe they are fake reviews from envious market competitors or also called competitors with no chance...

No telephone availability during opening hours - and that in October and therefore outside the summer season. The automatic announcement is also embarrassing: bad acoustics, incomprehensible content, talks about the summer season in October.

We were there as a group. A very tastefully decorated restaurant with friendly service. Due to bad experiences (e.g. with guests not showing up), there is no telephone reservation option in the summer season. Mam actually has to show up twice. Once to reserve and once as a guest and then only with at least eight people if you want to reserve. Understandable, but unsatisfactory. To enjoy this beautiful restaurant, you have to dig a little deeper into your pockets. For normal earners, this works once or twice depending on the length of the vacation. On the other hand, quality has its price. However, for cost reasons, after a lovely evening, we opted for Italian and German restaurants.

Very good Greek, with courteous service. Always my pleasure.

Food was very good and well presented. Friendly staff.

Ich komme aus der Region Hamburg. Dort habe ich noch keinen Griechen gefunden der >20,- Euro für ein Bifteki nimmt. Der Salat war ok, bestand aber vorwiegend aus Eisberg-Blättern. Keine Olive, keine Pepperoni, kein Krautsalat. Bifteki ok aber nichts wirklich besonderes. Alles ok aber zu teuer für die Leistung.

The ambience was initially unusual for a Greek but still very modern. The service and the food were top 😎

The first truly perfectly delicious Greek restaurant. Despite being a tourist stronghold and the city center, high food quality, great taste and very, very friendly staff. And the beer garden is very atmospheric. A good place to enjoy life.

We recommend. Everything was fine

The food was very tasty, but it took almost an hour until it was on the table.

We came here without a reservation, with our dog, and were warmly welcomed. We had a grill plate for 2 people. The food came very quickly and was extremely tasty. Can only be recommended!

Full star count in all categories! Very nice atmosphere. Super friendly service. Delicious food. Huge portions. The only thing that helps is to have it packed! 😁 Thumbs up!👍

highly recommended, excellent food, delicately seasoned and absolutely fresh. Nice atmosphere and very attentive service

Great courtyard, the location is otherwise modern and pleasant. Service very attentive, food delicious and more than sufficient. Prices reasonable.

Very nice service, delicious food, very large portions. Very nice atmosphere in the inner courtyard.

Super delicious food, magical location and, above all, incredibly lovely and attentive staff🫶🏼 Thank you very much for two wonderful and fun evenings with you🥰 If you end up in Malchow: definitely spend one or more evenings here😉 P.s. Even though Greek food is usually quite meat-heavy, as a vegetarian I would go here again and again😉

We were there three times during our vacation and were very satisfied each time. Very tasty and plentiful, very nice and courteous service!😋👌👍

We are here on vacation and the restaurant appealed to us. We were very happy with the food and would happily recommend it to others. Best Metaxa sauce I've ever eaten 🥰😍

We had dinner for the second time and were thrilled, very good service and very good food, great advice on the wine selection, we had forgotten the name and were given great advice. The wine 🍷 was perfect 👋we would love to come back😊

Incredibly good food, incredibly nice staff, incredibly good ambience. Everything is just right there. We come more often ;-)

Absolute recommendation. Very tasty food and the service was super friendly.

Like a short vacation in Greece: very tasty food, very nice service and great ambience. Absolutely recommended!

Went to the restaurant with 4 adults and everyone had a different meal. All 4 were totally thrilled. Tasty and hot as it should be. Staff was super friendly. The ambience is nice. Gladly again.

Everyone should have been here. Very good food and rustic outdoor area.

Simply the best Greek far and wide. We've eaten there many times and haven't been disappointed once. The food is delicious and the service and friendliness are great. There's nothing to complain about.

Great food, nice service and great location. The food was really tasty and a lot, the appetizer platter was top and the meat was perfect! The beer garden in the courtyard was really nice. Really recommended!

As always, the food was delicious and the service was very friendly and attentive! We'd love to come back.

Beautiful courtyard, super attentive service, fond of children, best souflaki we have ever eaten.

We were there spontaneously on a Sunday evening and got a table straight away.....unfortunately the seats at the lake are only for hotel guests.....but the food was very good, the waiters were very, very friendly, it wasn't a request didn't exist...... Portions were more than sufficient and very tasty despite the size 😋 😋 So no matter when we are back in Malchow, we're always happy and highly recommended

Very nice atmosphere...great courtyard...very warmly laid out. Unfortunately my grilled feta was cold, but it was tasty. The two waiters...a younger and an older one seemed very tense and sometimes unfriendly. Ouzo was available warm and only upon request.

We stayed in the attached Hotel Inselhof and ate in the restaurant in the evening. Quality and quantity were great. Service very friendly. Prices are absolutely ok for what is on offer. The inner courtyard is very lovingly designed with access to the lake. Everything is very nicely designed. Gladly again.

The food is plentiful and very tasty, anyone who likes Greek specialties will not be disappointed here. Highly recommended, the gyros are great!!

Very nice atmosphere outside. The food was very good. Would love to come back.

We often go to the "Griechen am See" and the food was/is always excellent. Price/performance fits! Ambiance, especially in the courtyard, is very nice. The service is very friendly and everyone puts in a lot of effort. Keep it up!!!!!

I actually don't like writing 5 star reviews because the room for improvement has to be minimal. But in my opinion there was a lot going on in this restaurant. The location is very central, there are 6 free parking spaces available, the restaurant itself is very large so you don't need a reservation and there are enough service staff for quick service. Why 5 stars? The food is simply phenomenally good. Without exception. I assumed a standard run-of-the-mill Greek with the obligatory free ouzo to start. But here a lot of attention was paid to the quality of the food. We were thrilled. We had gyros and bifteki. It was fantastic. The price is a little above the norm, but you also get a very large portion of the dish. I would come back here at any time. Thank you for this experience!

A really, really good Greek meal! Very nice courtyard for eating… Very friendly service!

Da wir sehr gern in griechische Restaurants gehen, haben wir das auch hier gemacht. Unsere Erwartungen und die guten Rezensionen wurden nicht erfüllt. Kein leckerer Salat (bestand fast nur aus billigem Eisbergsalat, kein knuspriges Gyros (grobe Brocken und nochmals in Öl gewälzt), Bier zu warm. Diese „Leistungen“ haben dann auch noch einen unangemessen hohen Preis. Hier ist der Tourist willkommen zum abkassieren.

Very nice atmosphere, very quiet outside. Very friendly service. Top quality Greek food and large portions. Price-performance very good. Reservation is an advantage. Highly recommended.

Very good food. Service very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately, the side dishes from the meal arrived late that evening. Otherwise everything was tip top. Would love to come back.

It seemed to become a great experience but after we waited for 40 minutes to get the main dish and again waited for another 15 minutes to get the bill - well it might take time… The meals were great, I question, but being ignored for such a long time is devastating.

Very, very tasty food, paired with nice staff. This is how you can enjoy an evening. Keep it up. 👌

Super delicious food, very friendly staff and a very nice courtyard. Everything perfect and highly recommended

Very tasty food. It's busy during the peak season, so it may take a while - but it's definitely worth the wait! We went to eat here again the next day. Very big recommendation!

It's very expensive, but you get less for it Saving on tzatziki means you have to buy extra tzatziki for €5😂 Food is average There is also hardly a vegetarian menu available.

Very tasty food and committed and friendly service staff. Gladly again.

Very good Greek, absolutely recommended

Long wait that was definitely worth it. The taste is very unusual and delicious. Menu has a lot of choice. Reasonably priced. Staff friendly despite the restaurant being fully booked. Well structured even though it was completely full. Reservations not possible during high season.

Perfect evening for our family!

There are 0 stars for the food. Grill parzer for 2 people was the worst we've ever had. All types of meat are coated with the same dry spice. Meat fatty and tough. Not edible. We were asked if it tasted good and unfortunately our answer was no. We didn't even ask why something was wrong... on the contrary, we were asked later if we wanted to take it with us. The drinks were two non-carbonated cola with just ice cubes added to the top. Prices outrageously expensive. Not recommended this restaurant. Shame on our money.

Simply delicious. Nice restaurant, nice service and, as mentioned, very tasty. Can only be recommended

Unfortunately we couldn't sit in the courtyard due to the bad weather. Tzatziki, souvlaki, giros with bifteki were very tasty. It took a long time to reorder the drinks and receive the bill.

We went there for dinner with friends. Even though we came without a reservation, we were offered a place. Since there was a lot going on, the meal took a while. But we were informed of this in advance. The food is outstanding! It's worth waiting here. Each meal is served with a small Greek side salad. The portions are more than generous. Since we ate there with children and therefore not all of the plates were empty, we were immediately asked if we would like to take it with us. This is very thoughtful and sustainable. We were absolutely thrilled and would love to come back!

We sat in the courtyard. Very lovingly furnished, great ambience. The staff is very friendly and accommodating even though it was fully booked. Great compliments to the kitchen, it was very tasty, unfortunately too much. Keep it up. Highly recommended. If you are traveling with several people, you should book in advance. We'll definitely be back.

It was so delicious that I had to control myself NOT to lick the plate. I have never had such a tasty, complex sauce and such a delicate salad dressing. I will really miss something like this at home. 😊

A really very good restaurant. Unfortunately we had to wait over 1.5 hours for food But that was certainly an exception

Our visit to the restaurant Der Grieche am See in Malchow was an absolute highlight! We were there with friends and family and felt completely comfortable. The location of the restaurant is beautiful, right on the lake, and the view is simply wonderful. We were particularly impressed by the garden: it is lovingly decorated with colorful flowers and is a real feast for the eyes. The staff were extremely friendly, attentive and had a remarkable eye for detail. From the welcome to the farewell, we were well looked after. The recommendations from the menu were excellent and we looked forward to trying the delicious appetizers and tasty selections from the grill. The portions were generous and each of us was more than full. The dessert, baked ice cream, was a special surprise and a unique experience that we have never had before. The selection of drinks also left nothing to be desired - from refreshing cocktails and lemonades to mastiha shots and limoncello, everything was there. We found the prices to be completely reasonable for the high quality and large portions. We can only warmly recommend “Der Grieche” and are looking forward to returning there on our next visit to Malchow. A must for anyone who wants to enjoy good food in a fantastic atmosphere!

I've been to a lot of Greeks. But it doesn't get any better. The meat is well seasoned. The tzatziki tastes great...

Fantastic greek cuisine! Friendly service, great location.

Great food and very good service

Great service! Delicious food! The homemade lemonade is simply great . Only recommended

Here for the second time and very satisfied. He and his staff are very friendly and attentive. Hospitality that you can feel.

Top Very tasty gyros, moussaka and the children's plates were also very nicely prepared. Unfortunately you have to order tzatziki with the gyros, which was really very little. But otherwise the portions were generous. Service was absolutely friendly and fast (but we were there early and not very busy yet) We would like to come again!

The food was first class, the staff very attentive and friendly. We were guests twice and the first impression was confirmed, we felt really welcome. The bifteki is looking for something similar, according to my wife. I can definitely recommend the gyros. We will definitely come back the next time we visit the Müritz. Many thanks and continued success

Very nice staff...food very tasty

👌 okay, very child friendly, we will repeat.

Zur Abwechslung mal griechisch essen , wirkte nett mit schönem Innenhof . Schon um 17:30 sehr voll , Wir konnten nicht reservieren , bei anderen Gästen war das wohl anders. Wir bekamen aber noch einen Tisch . Konnten relativ schnell bestellen und der Wein kam schnell. Das Mineralwasser leider gar nicht und zwei angesprochene Kellnerinnen konnten wegen Deutschmangel nicht helfen! Das Wasser und der Wein war nach einer Stunde Wartezeit leer getrunken. Der Kellner meinte auf meine Frage ob man uns vergessen habe , nein aber wir wollten ja auch einen Vorspeisen Teller und ein Hauptgericht gleichzeitig . Klar der Kunde ist schuld !!! Nach uns gekommene ( eine Gruppe von 10) bekamen ihre Vorspeisen deutlich vor uns . Die große Grillplatte und die Vorspeisenplatten waren gut und groß . Meine Empfehlung man kann hingehen , verpasst aber nichts wenn nicht!
