Restaurant El Greco in Köln

Very nice with a pleasant atmosphere and the food was delicious and authentic.

All I can say is simply delicious 👍🇬🇷

Went there for lunch today with 14 people. The previous owner had been a regular customer for years, but today it was disappointing. The individual appetizer portions were initially delivered without plates, so that the warm appetizers became cold in the meantime by the time the plates were received. The food came 2 hours after placing the order. If you come with a group of 6+ people, you should take this into account as a customer. When asked, we were told that we had been informed of this beforehand, which was not the case. Other guests who ordered 1 hour after us received their food beforehand. The food quality is good, but not recommended for larger groups. In addition, unlike its predecessor, the service was much friendlier and more accommodating.

Food and drinks were very good. One star deducted for the long wait for food.

The food is really great and the portions are big. Unfortunately the service is very, very inattentive. The furnishings are very mixed. The tablecloth was dirty and somehow everything didn't seem to fit together. Modern meets old pub, with pictures from Greece. Plus these strange stickers on the floor. Unfortunately it's not a well-rounded concept.

Two of the three dishes ordered were faulty, one of which - liver with rice and salad - was replaced by liver with fries and tzatziki. When I complained over the phone, they insisted that the food had been ordered that way, which was not the case. It was then said that the dish was on the menu, which was also not the case. Overall, no insight and unprofessional handling.

I've never left food out. But today was the first time. The atmosphere is not comfortable. They probably tried to get a Greek touch but it's a far cry from what you see in Greek restaurants elsewhere. The salad is loveless and the quality of my food is very poor. Just the way it looks on the plate... I expected more from the new owner. But things got rather worse. Too bad. I won't go there anymore. Oh yes, you can also help the waiter with setting and placing the food. There seems to be too little service even though it was only 60% occupied.

Traditionell griechisches Restaurant mit hervorragender Küche. Die Portionen sind riesig und die Qualität ausgezeichnet. Sehr zu empfehlen der Saganaki Feta und das Rindersteak. We love it

Cozy atmosphere... tables not too close together. Gyros was delicious. Nice service...

Always happy and 5 stars! Very tasty and a family atmosphere. 👌😍

Great Greek cuisine, I recommend it with full responsibility, anyone who hasn't been there will regret it. All dishes at the highest level, excellent service, simply amazing! Thanks to all the staff.

We eat there regularly. Because we really like the atmosphere. The food is very good and plentiful. The service is very attentive and friendly. We are happy always onto the next one Visit9

Very tasty and reasonable prices for the quantity/quality. Rarely have Greek food been so good. However, you have to bring a little time... and the atmosphere could be a little more comfortable.

The food was great and the service was good too. We've been eating there for 4 years. What surprises me a bit is that you can no longer get ouzo and dessert on the house. I think it's a shame. You can also skip dessert but there is still a Quzo included.

Wonderful ambience in the building. Very friendly and courteous service as well as first-class food. It was extremely tasty. Authentic Greek home cooked food. From the bread served to the cake, we had two large platters of “Greek table” each with meat and fish. Thanks for the ouzo on the house.

The three of us were there last night, everything was very tasty (moussaka, souvlaki, gyros, drinks, coffees and of course ouzo :-) ), friendly and attentive service, we would love to come back!

Enjoy your meal. Attentive staff.

Everything was perfect and the flavors take you to Greece!!!

They really try hard - and I mean that in a positive way.

Four of us were there on a Saturday evening. The food and service were fantastic. We haven't had such good Greek food for a long time - especially in Cologne. We had different grill plates from which we could eat another day :) We'd love to come back!

The food was very tasty, the service was super friendly. Elegant furnishings and parking spaces directly in front of the restaurant. So if you are looking for a pleasant restaurant visit, you will find it here!

it’s such an incredible greek restaurant in köln. i can’t explain how fascinating the food and atmosphere are…

We were very satisfied. Delicious food, very nice boss and great ambience. If we are in Cologne again, we will definitely eat there again.

There appears to have been a change of ownership. The food was good before, now it's outstanding. We ate gyros and bifteki, the senior plates were more than sufficient, the meat was tasty and tasty. Tzatziki very tasty, the rice was very seasoned. Kreidler very mild.

Super delicious… happy to come back when we are in Cologne again 👍👍👍

I would say that it is once one of the best Greek restaurants in the Rhein Sieg district. I've been eating there for half a decade, I can't understand some of the reviews at all or they seem to be trying to deliberately damage the place... If you're really hungry and value good food, then drive/go to the restaurant quickly! Food 10/10, ambience since the change of ownership 10/10, just keep it up 🤝👍🏼

Very nice workers and super delicious food!! (cellar staff very nice)

The food was delicious and the staff was very polite. We were warmly welcomed and our wishes were taken into account. The ambience is inviting and fits the concept of the restaurant. There is also parking directly in front of the restaurant. I would come again and again!

Everything delicious, super fresh and super friendly hosts. Will definitely come back

Sufficiently large portion. I was very happy with my order.

Extremely friendly/hospitable, very beautiful and super tasty. Thank you!

Top quality, top food, top service Thank you for the hospitality

Great food, very nice service and great dessert. I'm already looking forward to the next time

Great service, delicious traditional Greek food. Recommended!

Mediocre food, poor smoke ventilation, excessive prices!!

Katerina's Tavern offers delicious Greek specialties that are freshly and lovingly prepared. From moussaka to souvlaki, there is something for every taste. Particularly practical: There are private parking spaces. The cozy atmosphere and authentic food make every visit a pleasure!

Very tasty food, the prices are okay and the owner and staff are very friendly.

Simply great restaurant with delicious food 👍👍👍

The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. A restaurant that makes you feel comfortable. Can only recommend it!

Fresh ingredients, very tasty cooked, perfect service Everything was delicious

The restaurant has become very nice since it reopened. You can park easily because there are private parking spaces. The food is very tasty and the staff is friendly. I can only recommend it!

On the last evening at the old innkeeper, it was packed. The new landlady is also the previous cook, which means the food will remain good.

Very nice atmosphere. You feel a little in Greece. The food is very tasty. Authentic like on Crete. Large portions, prices ok. Friendly boss who manages the service alone. At least on the days we ate there. We'll be back.

Delicious. Very friendly staff. Recommended

Have been here again for a long time. Still very tasty and large portions. Prices are reasonable.

We were on the way home from the thermal baths and were hungry. We simply looked on Google to see what was on the way and went there quite spontaneously. We were lucky and there were free parking spaces right in front of the house. A cozy little terrace awaited us. A menu with everything you would expect from a Greek restaurant. There was a small, delicious fresh salad as standard. The fries were delicious, the meat was fresh and juicy. The rice was very tasty. A very large portion, I would have loved to eat it all. But nothing else fit in :-) The service (I think it was the landlord) was very friendly and open-minded. Ready for a little small talk, you immediately felt welcome. Price-performance ratio was really great. We will definitely come again with children.

Very good Greek food, friendly and courteous service. 👍

We cannot agree with the negative reviews as we were warmly welcomed and served by the owner. The ambience is a bit "dated", but you are compensated for this with high-quality, well-prepared and very tasty products. Conclusion: Recommended

Food was ok. But the restaurant owner came across as very unsympathetic. No wonder the customers are missing. He should learn to be nicer to his customers. And not to make misogynistic statements and think he's Zeus!

The menu was extensive, but what immediately caught my eye was what turned out to be a delicious, tender beef liver with potatoes, bacon and onions. Add a large bowl of salad and enjoy. The steak was also tasty and also accompanied by a generous portion of fries and salad. The owner was a very friendly man and as a surprise we received a delicious oliebol with ice cream and honey on the house! Definitely worth it.

...great evening...with live music and dancing...eat and feel good like in Greece...highly recommended...always happy again...

We have been regular guests for many years Last night we attended the Greek evening for the first time Mega thank you for this wonderful evening with beautiful traditional food, music and dancing 10 stars for that

I had dinner there with a larger group. I thought the food was very tasty, the portions were very generous, but overall it wasn't exactly cheap. Unfortunately, the atmosphere inside the restaurant is no longer up to date and extremely uncomfortable. You shouldn't spend a romantic evening in this restaurant. Unfortunately, the location only gets two stars from me because the operator's behavior was absolutely inappropriate. There was no friendliness at all. Instead, he always responded very briskly to questions. Such behavior is an absolute no go for a restaurateur. There is clearly a need for improvement here. Unfortunately, despite the high prices, you can't even pay with a credit card.

If you would like to enjoy good Greek food, you have to go to El Greco. Everything is great here. Large portions from the starter to the main course to... no, dessert was no longer possible. Next time (and we will definitely come again) no starter but dessert. Thank you, El Greco made 6 guests full and happy and can only be recommended.

Food took way too long!! When we asked where the food was, they said bifteki would take 30 minutes but we already waited 45 minutes!?? I've never experienced this in the Stuttgart area where I come from!!!! Liver wasn't cooked properly either!!!!

None but fine The dishes taste good and are very plentiful.

Very nice restaurant! The price-performance ratio of the dishes is simply great for such large portions that are offered. The staff is very friendly! On the last evening there was dessert on the house which was really delicious and a very nice gesture! Unfortunately there's not much going on during the week, which I find quite a shame for such a good Greek :)

A really great restaurant. I had dinner there with my work colleagues (company outing). The inn usually doesn't open until the afternoon. But we could be entertained with around 40 people around lunchtime. The food was excellent👌everything was freshly prepared. From starters to desserts. Thank you!

Food was good and served quickly/at the same time. After the meal, the house provided a delicious dessert (fried pastries with vanilla ice cream). Outdoor seating on a main street. Payment only in cash/EC card. Prices a little higher.

Yesterday we went to this beautiful Greek restaurant once again and are happy to recommend it to others. The food is freshly prepared and very tasty, The boss and his employees are very hospitable. Recommendation: Grilled chicken skewer with additional Metaxa sauce - a dream!!!👍👏 A great Greek restaurant - we love coming again…👍

Very nice staff, very cozy and extremely good food. We recommend

Went there for the first time and waited 65 minutes for a portion of chicken breast with fries. And then comes the best part - meat only tasted like salt. The waiter was shocked when I didn't even eat 1/4 of the whole thing. NEVER AGAIN !

First time there and unexpectedly delicious. Top quality and simply superbly prepared (!). Generous portions. Only the boss should smile more and approach his guests. You might want to come back.

Always my pleasure. Food excellent, service great. Highly Recommended.

Everything was so good! Wonderful food, cozy atmosphere and very nice people working. Definitely recommend to visit this place

Great Greek restaurant with a very nice owner :-) the portions are very large and very tasty.

Very warm welcome, almost family-like even though it was our first time here. The owner provides a nice & professional service. Advises on Greek wines and dishes. The portions are generous (starter plate for 1 person is easily enough for 2) All dishes are very tasty and freshly prepared. The prices are calculated fairly. Certainly not our last visit. Thanks.

Just really nice. Friendly. Good price. Food to take away is well packaged and plentiful. All very tasty. Lovely again.

Leckeres Essen , freundliches Personal

Very good restaurant, very tasty food, huge portions. Staff & boss top

Every time our children from Bavaria come to Nesuch, we eat here. The food selection is very good. The food is very tasty: big compliments to the kitchen!!! Absolute recommendation!

Einfach gehalten aber rel. günstig.

Schrecklich..das Essen war geschmacklos. Nie wieder!

Sorry but that was by far the worst Greek food I've ever eaten...had a grill plate: fries hard as wood, two tiny little lamb cutlets burnt, a chicken breast also burnt, gyros totally over salted...apart from the skewer, which was completely It was okay, it didn't work at all. My wife's sea bream was probably not the best either. Since she's vegan, she only eats fish when we go out...but she left it alone. Then there was the question of whether everything was satisfactory (probably not if the food was still on the plate). My wife said no and he asked: Do you even know sea bream?" That's a disgrace!! Especially since she's already eaten hundreds. All in all, it was our first and last time there...I expected more for 80 euros

Das Essen schmeckt köstlich, die Portion ist groß genug, um satt zu werden. Man fühlt sich da als Ehrengast , weil der Wirt ein guter Gastgeber ist . Preisleistung spitze . Der griechische Abend mit live Musik und Tanz war einfach Klasse .Es hat Spaß gemacht mitzumachen. Tolle Idee. Werde auf jeden Fall es im Auge behalten, um es nicht zu verpassen .

Wunderbarer Abend bei Livemusik verbracht, waren das erste mal dort, Essen war ausgezeichnet, super nettes Personal und Preise angemessen.

Sehr leckeres und schmackhaftes Essen, jeder der auf Griechische Gerichte steht sollte hier definitiv mal vorbeischauen.

Griechisches Restaurant mit den typischen Spezialitäten auf der reichhaltigen Speisekarte. Ebenso reichhaltig sind die Portionen - man wird auf jeden Fall satt. Die probierten Salate waren leider mit zu viel fettigem Dressing versehen, das geht besser/frischer. Im Keller des Restaurants befindet sich eine betagte, aber voll funktionsfähige Kegelbahn nebst großem Tisch mit der Möglichkeit dort im größeren Kreis zu spielen und zu essen. Der Service ist freundlich und fix.

Eins vor ab, dass Essen war gut, auch wenn die Auswahl nicht besonders groß war. Jedoch war die Bedienung sehr unfreundlich und wenig aufmerksam. Getränk leer, egal! Essen kamm nicht annähernd gleichzeitig. Sämtliche bitte und Anfragen an die Bedienung wurden genervt entgegen genommen. Preise fand ich überteuert, ein Teller Gyros mit Pommes über 15 €. Lange Rede kurzer Sinn, ich würde aufgrund des gesamten Eindrucks trotz des Essen NICHT mehr wiederkommen.

Wie immer alles Top,lieber Chris. Wer das Restaurant nicht kennt,geht hin! Spitzen Gyros,sonst alles auch prima

Super lecker und netter Service! Wir kommen wieder.

Sehr sehr sehr leckere Vorspeisen! Die Hauptspeise ebenfalls lecker mit Salat und wahlweisen Pommes oder Reis. Zu guter letzt bekamen wir noch eine köstliche Nachspeise ( Gebäck mit Eis & Honig )gereicht . Wir sind rundherum verwöhnt und freundlich bedient worden. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen und können es uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen.

Ich muss mich den schlechten Rezensionen leider anschließen. - keine Begrüßung beim Eintritt ins Lokal - mit 5 Erwachsenen & 1 Kind saßen wir an einem 4er Tisch - die Gläser waren dreckig, der Austausch wurde widerwillig erledigt - kalt/warme Vorspeise war gut! - Beilagensalate sahen schön aus, schmeckten aber nach nichts! - Hauptspeisen: Bifteki ok. Gyros naja. El Grecco 👎🏻 - auf Anfrage wurde 1(!) Getränk nachgeliefert (ok, wenn man nichts verdienen möchte) - der Service von Anfang bis Ende grottenschlecht (keine Lust, genervt, extra Wünsche des Gastes waren zu viel) - dumm, wenn man die Sprache der Gastgeber spricht und mitbekommt, wie man über die Gesellschaft im Nebenraum schimpft - zum Schluss hatte sich mein Mann (übrigens selbst Küchenchef) erdreistet, Kritik zu üben: der Bauernsalat war NULL gewürzt. - die Antwort war nur frech, unverschämt, gastunfreundlich und absolut arrogant (wegen zu wenig Salz kritisiert man nicht, schließlich stehen Salz und Pfeffer auf dem Tisch… usw) - Ich komme selbst aus der Gastronomie und möchte betonen: ein guter Koch stellt niemals Menagen (Salz-/Pfefferstreuer) auf den Tisch Der ganze Abend war für die Katz und rausgeschmissenes Geld. Nie nie wieder gehen wir dorthin und ich würde es auch niemandem empfehlen. Sehr sehr schade und traurig, dass wir Griechen uns so präsentieren. Mein Mann kennt das aus Griechenland Gott sei dank anders!

Es ist alles sehr gut Essen Service und das Ambiente war sehr zu empfehlen Immer wieder gerne

Аутентичная атмосфера Греции, огромные порции мяса и гарниров, вкусные десерты и напитки. Особенно рекомендую греческий коньяк Метакса.

Lange nicht mehr so gut gegessen, Inhaber super freundlich und sehr aufmerksam. Habe mit meine Familie dort am Donnerstag gegessen und wir kommen gerne wieder. Und der Vorspeisen Teller von mir eine volle 10.

Ich gehe mit meiner Mutter und Freunden schon seit Jahren in dieses Lokal . Mit dem Besitzer ist man mittlerweile per du . Immer sehr leckeres Essen zu sehr fairen Preisen . Spaß und ein paar witzige Worte sind dort immer zu finden . Einen kleinen Nachttisch bekommt man immer gratis dazu . Ich gehe sehr gerne dort hin und werde es auch weiter tun . Kann ich nur empfehlen. Ps: Wer hier schlecht bewertet , sollte sich erstmal selbst bewerten. Jeder der im Service arbeitet weiß wie unmöglich und unverschämt Menschen sein können 😉 Update : Ich habe gestern meinen 35. Geburtstag gefeiert im El Greco … und es war einfach fantastisch 🥰👍 2 Stunden kegeln und anschließend mega lecker gegessen . Allen hat es sehr gut gefallen und es war ein sehr schöner Abend 😃 Vielen Dank 🫶

Leider war der Wirt eher unfreundlich, das Ambiente nicht sehr einladend und das Essen unterer Durchschnitt.

Essen war super , kann ich.nur empfehlen

Essen super lecker und optisch sehr schön... Service sehr freundlich:-)

Wir waren heute mit 4 Personen im El Greco essen.Das Essen war ausreichend und sehr lecker. Der Inhaber war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Der Service ist super. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Bester Mann!!!!! Super essen klasse Kegelbahn

Einer der noch wenigen guten Lokale dieser Art. Ein gemütliches Ambiente und ein sehr freundlicher Lokalbesitzer. Die Speisen sehr authentisch und lecker.

Ich muss sagen, ich bin positiv überrascht. Absolut perfektes griechisches Essen. Nicht was man sonst an griechischen Essen kennt. Einfache griechische Küche aber authentisch. Unfassbar gut. Bin begeistert.

Eher teuer bei durchschnittlichem Essen. Personal eher unfreundlich. Ich habe Essen zum Abholen bestellt und 5 Minuten gewartet. Mir wurde nichts zu trinken angeboten - ist mir noch nie passiert, vor allem nicht beim Griechen!

Leider habe ich hier das schlechteste Gyros gegessen und der Wirt hatte eine Lautstarke Auseinandersetzung mit den Gästen am Nebentisch gehabt. Das Essen war nicht Gut und die Atmosphäre war auch nicht angenehm.

Wir waren heute zum wiederholten Male im El Greco. Heute mit 3 Generationen. Wir alle waren sehr zufrieden. Das Essen war wie immer lecker und reichlich. Wir wurden sehr nett bedient und fühlten uns durch die offene und herzliche Art Willkommen. Dies war mit Sicherheit nicht unser letzter Besuch im El Greco 😊

Gutes reichhaltiges Essen freundliche Bedienung kleine Terrasse vorhanden Parkplatz vorm Haus. Fazit lohnt sich👍

Absolut zu empfehlen,sehr lecker! Perfekt um sich vor dem Autokino was abzuholen.

Unfreundlich,kalt und nicht sehr sauber
