Restaurant Olive in Bonn

Restaurant Olive in Brüdergasse – A little piece of Greece in the heart of the city! We had a wonderful evening in the Olive restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious – fresh, authentic and prepared with a lot of love. The family atmosphere and the incredibly friendly, courteous service almost make you forget that you are not really in Greece. The spirit of Greek hospitality can clearly be felt here. We were particularly impressed by the high quality of the food, which is really worth every visit. A little tip: you should definitely make a reservation on the weekend as there isn't a lot of space. But the effort is definitely worth it! We'll definitely be back.

Rarely have I eaten so badly!!!

Excellent authentic cuisine, absolutely recommended!

The ambience was very nice, the service was great and the food was excellent 😍 We will definitely come back!!!!!

We spontaneously decided to eat there and were pleasantly surprised, the food was very tasty, the staff was great, go there and see for yourself.

After a day in Bonn, from Maastricht, we had dinner at Restaurant Olive. We ordered Meze and it was very good and tasty. It was nice that there was still a table available for us. Nice people, good food, good location. If we go to Bonn again, we will definitely have a bite to eat at this restaurant again. 👍

Even in Greece I haven't had such delicious food! Perfect flavors, fresh ingredients and authentic taste - every dish was a delight. Plus warm service that rounds off the experience. I'll definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very friendly, courteous waiter; nice restaurant with very good food!

Wonderful authentic Greek food with fantastic service!

Good restaurant with very friendly staff and delicious food. It's not particularly big and it's a bit cramped, but the quality makes up for it all. U.Ri. ™

Today we are in Bonn and we want to try Greek cuisine, a guarantee, we were completely satisfied.

Really successful all around! Highly recommended.

Even though we came spontaneously on a Saturday evening, the boss personally did everything he could to accommodate us anyway.❤️ That was really very kind of him and his team. The fact that there is such a lot of activity there speaks for itself: the food is simply delicious and authentically Greek. We'd love to come back - next time with a prior reservation.😉

Really authentic and convincing Greek cuisine that stands out from many other Greek restaurants that are more reminiscent of a snack bar. You immediately feel comfortable and welcome. The boss in particular looks after his guests very carefully; you can feel that he runs his restaurant with heart and soul. The dishes were excellent across the board, whether tzatziki, fish roe and eggplant salad as starters or the main courses of moussaká and grilled mackerel, which the host even filleted at the table upon request. There are also three beers on tap and a large selection of wines, both by the glass and in bottles at a fair price. The premium retsina from Davaris was the best retsina we have ever drunk, a really convincing, harmonious wine with perfectly integrated resin notes and beautiful fruit. Many thanks to the whole team around the lovely host Mr. Karamis. We'll be back!

Popular eatery with authentic Greek food. Good service. Kind of loud

Cozy restaurant with a great atmosphere. Delicious food and drinks. Very good service.

We were there with the family. Everyone found something to their liking. The starters were delicious.

Great meal, very friendly staff

The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, the service was a complete disaster! You had to beg for a bottle of wine or water and plates weren't cleared away. However, bifteki were a dream, as was beef ragou. If you want to eat well, you shouldn't go to Olive.

Great food, friendly service and very authentic 👍

On the weekend it was very crowded and the tables were crowded. Nevertheless, everything went well and the food was excellent. I have rarely eaten such a good sea bream. My eggplant puree was also excellent.

I've eaten here several times with my partner and today was alone for the first time. I immediately felt comfortable and like I was on vacation. The owner welcomes you warmly and personally. The food is consistently very tasty and freshly homemade, even the baklava that is still lukewarm! I can only warmly recommend Olive and will come back often.

At short notice we decided on the Restaurant Olive today and were immediately impressed. It offers particularly good authentic Greek cuisine that doesn't offer the usual fare. The starters such as zucchini fritters and fried eggplant are delicious, as are the moussaka and bifteki. There are delicious open red wines and water at fair prices. As a greeting from the kitchen, there was a small bean soup and a small dessert on the bill. Thank you for that. Unfortunately, we can rarely come there to eat because we live in Bavaria. But we'd love to come back.

The food is always delicious and authentically Greek. I can recommend the olive to everyone with a clear conscience!

Food mediocre. The manager of the restaurant is not very friendly.

Were there for the first time today and are simply thrilled! If you want homemade Greek enjoyment far beyond gyros and grilled dishes, this is the right place for you. Be sure to book a seat in advance and enjoy the friendly, family atmosphere.

We ate on the evening of January 1st ... impossible to find another place open and with a very high quality of products, the very kind owner and the vegetables, sauces, fish and desserts of excellent quality!

Authentic, delicious, cozy.- The Olive is almost as much of a tradition among the people of Bonn as a Rhenish pub. You wait to get a table, you are ready to find comfort in a small space: you enjoy the Greek flair of a Bonn pub. The Taramas is delicious and can practically hold a candle to the one in the “stage”. The prawns in garlic dip are great. For some unknown reason, I was advised against lamb chops in favor of lamb skewers: tasty, but the potatoes were a bit elastic and could be seen everywhere on the tables around me. The grilled mackerel was too dark on the outside, but OK, and the dip was too runny. Conclusion: Quite recommended!

Really great, stands out from ordinary Greeks

Original food like in Greece. Super lovely and attentive waitresses/owners! We really enjoyed it and we will definitely come back. Thank you for the lovely evening.

Small but incredibly charming restaurant. Food, service and ambience are very, very good. Everything on the table in time and incredibly delicious.

Nice Greek restaurant. Good selection of dishes, the mixed starters and the greetings from the kitchen are great! The service was friendly and good, although every table was occupied, the food and drinks came in a reasonable time,

This place has an incredible homelike atmosphere and the owners are very sweet. The food is honestly perfectly cooked and tastes delicious. The portion sizes are again amazing.

Unfortunately I can't recommend it. We had a reservation, but despite this reservation we had to wait another 50 minutes. Once inside we had to wait another 20 minutes for something to drink, although it was only water. Everything was very unpleasant and far too unfriendly. You don't even get the beer you ordered. We will not consider another visit.

Very inconspicuous, but the food was of the best quality and taste was excellent. A little difficult to communicate with, but very friendly, greetings from the kitchen were also great, thank you

The place is not very big and you have to wait even if you reserve a table, but the food is delicious and it is cozy

Four of us had dinner there last night and it was really fantastic! The fish, the meat, everything prepared to perfection! The starters were incredibly tasty! Service was top! The only point of criticism: It was so packed that it was incredibly loud and we were all sitting very close together! You have to like that! But we'll definitely be back!

We had our Christmas party here today and it was wonderful, very warm owners, great home-made food

Small restaurant, very noisy and the atmosphere and food were mediocre. For us the other reviews were misleading.

The food didn't work at all. Bifteki was so good. You couldn't eat fries. It was very greasy and the environment was loud and cramped. I read the food in the reviews, the best Greek in Germany then come to Lüdinghausen there are much, much better Greek restaurants

Exceptionally good, high-quality Greek food, which is of higher quality than in the usual Greek restaurant. Great experience, highly recommended.

Perfect Greek food and service! Highly recommended 👍🏻😍

Authentic Greek Experience! We were more than satisfied! Despite the restaurant being full, the service was first class and the food was simply outstanding. The dishes tasted like they were homemade – a real piece of Greece. Absolutely recommended

We were at the Olive restaurant with 8 people on a Friday evening. The evening was perfect! The food was fresh and very tasty. My favorite is the chicken skewer and the zucchini balls, but all the other dishes were also completely satisfactory. The warm and friendly manner in which we were welcomed and served by the owner made the visit an unforgettable evening.

Very good food, very good and attentive service.

The food itself was delicious, but I have never spent so much money for so little food. Add what feels like three grains of rice to the skewer. If you look at pictures of the restaurant you can see the same food in larger portions. Apparently there isn't much emphasis on delivery

Small and inconspicuous restaurant. It's best to reserve a table in advance or you may have to wait. Even as a vegetarian you will find something very good here. The service is great. Even if you wish, we always make sure to offer an option. I can highly recommend the semolina porridge baked in puff pastry with honey for dessert.

Delicious food in a nice atmosphere

Delicious food! The boss served us very well. Lots of typical starters. Drinks were delivered a little slowly. The prices are very fair.

Das Essen war großartig. Die vom Restaurant empfohlenen Vorspeisen und Hauptgerichte haben alle Wünsche unserer Gruppe von 14 Personen mehr als erfüllt. Für Vegetarier war ebenfalls eine große Auswahl dabei. Der Service war sehr gut. Wir kommen gerne wieder und können das Restaurant Olive unbedingt empfehlen.

We had a very nice evening with 7 people. We came at prime time and unfortunately we waited a long time for the drinks. The waiter with the food tried very hard and really hurried to serve all the tables well and quickly. Another person in service would have been good. The food was clear and really tasty. There was a small lentil soup for everyone beforehand and at the end an ouzo or espresso on the house. We'll definitely be back!

Auf Empfehlung vom Chef hatten wir eine sehr große Auswahl von Vor- und Hauptspeisen. Das war perfekt und war ein toller Querschnitt durch die Griechische Küche. Sehr gutes Essen, sehr freundliches und engagiertes Personal, nette Atmosphäre.

We were told on the phone that reservations weren't necessary. Once we got there, we were supposed to sit at a table together, which we refused. But a solution was found and another table was shared. Almost twenty minutes to order the drinks and then of course one of the meals is definitely too long. Incidentally, other guests had a similar experience, or sometimes worse. At least they received a greeting from the kitchen that didn't find its way to us. My bifteki came in three pieces so it had already fallen apart on the grill. Tasteful but still delicious. Unfortunately, just like with my wife's skewers (also delicious), there was no tzatziki with it. We ordered twice as soon as the plates arrived. When we asked, at least one portion was served, unfortunately I had already finished eating. Very annoying and disappointing. But when two portions of tzatziki appear on the bill for a mere 10 euros, it becomes somehow unpleasant. I asked the boss about it, who just said that otherwise the service was good... At some point he apologized sensibly. But the bill remained the same. All in all very bumpy and very unprofessional in terms of service, which is a shame because the food isn't actually that bad.

Sehr freundliche Bedienung. Wir hatten sehr leckere, frische Calamares, Souvlaki und Hühnchenspiesse, dazu ein paar Vorspeisen... alles seh lecker. Preislich war alles ebenfalls sehr fair.

Nous avions réservé pour 19 h30 et le restaurant était plein, L’accueil étais parfait en anglais. Nous avons très bien mangé plusieurs grillades accompagnées de pommes de terre rissolées et salade de choux et bien sur les spécialités slouviaka d’agneaux délicieux plat grillé avec une bonne bouteille de vin Grecque rien a dire sinon que nous reviendrons certainement. L’amabilité et simplicité du patron nous a touché. Félicitations a eux.

Very good Greek cuisine. It stands out very much from the other large restaurants. For example, there are no gyros, souflaki etc. But very tasty fish dishes and home cooking like mousaka, lots of small meze. Good Greek wine and beer. Very busy on Friday evenings, table reservations are an advantage.

Great restaurant, service is very friendly and attentive, both the typical Greek dishes and those recommended from the daily menu were perfect, good value for money, we would be happy to come back

Very friendly, warm welcome. Wanted to move in straight away, you'll be spoiled! Love it.. Thank you so much for the wonderful evening. Teşekkürler

Great restaurant centrally located and yet a bit hidden in Bonn city center. In summer you can sit outside great. The restaurant is small and quaint. Lovingly and discreetly furnished. Very well attended! The food is fabulous and tastes like grandma's. My mother would easily move to Bonn because of the good food here.

We had dinner for two in this place and it was almost full. It's a brasserie type of place and the tables were not covered. The napkins were very thin and paper. Not suitable for dinner or eating in general. We were served very quickly, too quickly. The food was ok and the service lacked table manners. We had a starter which was good and as soon as we finished the main course was served before the table was cleared of the starter dishes. As if that was not enough, we had to keep our cutlery. Next time we're in Bonn, we hope to find a real restaurant with professional manners and staff.

Very tasty, generous portions, everything fresh and very fair prices

The boss welcomes and says goodbye to each table personally and very warmly, so you immediately feel at home. The starters are best for sharing, one was tastier than the other, we were blown away! The side dishes are all homemade, from the coleslaw to the fries, and the main courses are deliciously seasoned and delicately grilled. The dessert was also so delicious that we almost regretted sharing it. It's super comfortable to sit in, the store is packed and we felt very comfortable!

Food very tasty. Very crowded and loud. Still recommended.

Very attentive service, ambience ok. Some of the tables were very narrow. The appetizer of stuffed peppers with a little feta didn't convince me and the potatoes in the moussaka were warmed up - unfortunately that's how they tasted. Unfortunately it didn't convince me. The dessert was rich. Greek yogurt with honey and a little walnuts was ok. I know better Greeks in Bonn.

Very nice restaurant. The food is very tasty and made with a lot of heart. A great host. Thank you for the evening. Keep it up. Thanks.

Very tasty restaurant, the bifteki tasted good, only the side dish (potatoes) was a bit too little to fill me up.

This is honestly the best restaurant in Bonn to have greek food!!! I visited this restaurant literally at the opening hour. There was an uncle there and he was just very kind. We ordered two glasses of wine and had Sutzukakia and Garides mit olivenol. He gave us a chicken vermicelli soup which we hadn’t ordered, and that literally tasted the best. The shrimps in the butter bath was just exquisite. The mix of butter and herbs was absolutely delicious. And the meatballs, oh my god, I’ve never had anything more delicious than those meatballs. An amazing place for food and the best service. Even though there was a language barrier, the uncle was very welcoming and helped us understand the menu. I couldn’t stop gushing about this place. :)

Very nice and above all authentic Greek restaurant with good food and friendly service. Can be very crowded - which is a sign of quality. The lamb skewers were delicious.

Huiiii, what can I say, where do I start? I had reserved the table four days ago with the question and request to decorate the table a little festively if possible for my mother's 65th birthday. It was very willingly agreed!!! We came in UUUNNNDDD no festive table...a shame! Now we drove an extra 1.5 hours to dine in this excellently rated restaurant... The starters were very mediocre and unseasoned. The main courses... my bifteki was okay, but not outstanding, my husband had lamb chops that looked like pork belly and really didn't taste good, unfortunately the birthday boy had a really tough beef liver... Afterwards our dessert came, unfortunately the plates from the main course were NOT cleared away and we had to stack something to make room for the dessert... and the puff pastry filled with white semolina, tasted good, but seemed limp in terms of consistency, puff pastry and filling Soggy. The waiter was friendly, but he could have cleared our table. In general, the restaurant seemed in need of renovation and needed some cleaning. There were dead beetles in the large glass vase with the wine and beer corks... waste of time and money!!! No recommendation from us

Small authentic Greek restaurant, which is highly recommended. Spent a few hours in Bonn and had a very good meal here. Short waiting times, delicious food and very friendly and attentive service - the lentil soup as a starter is on the house at lunchtime - we'll be happy to come back!

Very good and tasty food. However, the room was so tightly packed with tables that it became uncomfortable and simply too loud for a pleasant conversation.

Finally delicious Greek food! We recommend the lemon pork which was well cooked, soft and juicy!!! With nice baked potatoes!!! we enjoyed delicious pumpkin meatballs and at the end velvety semolina halva with cinnamon!!! Highly recommend, you'd better make a reservation!!

The food was ok. In the group we had pork skewers with fries, bifteki and also a vegetarian dish. Meat was ok, fries too, but definitely not "homemade" as it says on the menu. Taste ok. The salad from the vegetarian dish was just the very simple side salad in a larger portion. But the plates were a bit carelessly prepared. The service was rushed and slow. Ok, the restaurant was also very full, the noise level was very high, it was difficult to have a conversation. Two more fun facts: There were around 100 small flies on the wall next to the counter. In front of the counter, two meters from our table, the leftover food was thrown into a waste bin with a lid. We've never seen anything like this in a restaurant. In the summer on a hot day I imagine it to be very interesting in terms of smell. We wouldn't come again. In our small hometown in Siegburg alone, about 10km away, there are three much better Greeks.

Relaxed atmosphere and delicious food

Tasty and inexpensive, myth on tap. Sometimes, when the restaurant and terrace are full, there are moderate waiting times, the owner is the waiter himself and is no longer the youngest. Understandable.

Not recommended..Potatoes lukewarm.pnd the fresh skewer partly.not yet properly fried It's a shame, but really not recommended

Food was okay, but there was hardly any vegetarian choice (only 2 dishes, the omelette had a leftover feel). Service was very friendly but incredibly inattentive and slow. You wait forever for the bill.

A very cozy restaurant of Greek cuisine with extremely polite and friendly staff. I recommend

A piece of Greece in the middle of the city! I had the pleasure of enjoying a wonderful meal at this restaurant that took me straight back to my childhood. The rabbit I ordered was simply delicious and tasted just as good as my grandma's - tender, juicy and perfectly seasoned. You can tell that the cooking here is done with a lot of love and tradition. The service was also excellent. The waiters were extremely friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I found the little touches particularly nice: both at the beginning and at the end of our visit there was a greeting from the kitchen, which rounded off the evening perfectly. If you're looking for authentic Greek cuisine and warm hospitality, this is the place for you. I'll definitely be back!

Ate there today at 4 p.m. for two. We were happy not to be seated at a 70x70 mini table for 2, but rather to be given a table for 4 in the back area. The restaurant was only half full. While we waited 20 minutes for the menu on the shabby upholstered bench, we had time to count the many flies on the grubby wall and enjoy the dried gypsophila in the cloudy broth of the muddy table vase. Finally, a delicious noodle soup with cinnamon flavor came out of the kitchen as a greeting. The really good wines (almost all open at €6/0.25) finally arrived: we're at minute 45. Lamb fillet skewers (24.90) were only lukewarm, the lamb fillet was not properly pared (stringy) and just about lukewarm, it had probably been waiting for the waiter in the kitchen for that long. The beef liver (€14.90) was tough. After a long wait to be able to order, we drank 2 other wines and left the now full restaurant and its overwhelmed service (4 service staff) at 6:30 p.m.

The atmosphere was great and the staff were really nice! The food was also great.

The chicken was grilled perfectly, but unfortunately there weren't enough potatoes. The service felt very warm but also quite assertive and we ended up being forced to have cake on the house even though we specifically said no.

Very nice restaurant with a large outdoor area. Nice service, very good food. The restaurant exceeded our expectations.

If it were a Greek snack bar with snack prices, then there would be absolutely nothing wrong with it - but it is a restaurant with restaurant prices. We were therefore very disappointed with the size of the portions and the careless presentation. Everything tasted ok, but if e.g. If homemade fries are listed separately on the menu, then I expect homemade ones too - even deep-fried frozen fries don't count as such in my opinion 😉 All in all, you can have a good meal there, but you shouldn't expect that - the price-performance ratio just doesn't fit 🍟🥩🥗🍺🇬🇷

Today we were here for the first time and it was really authentic Greek food. Truly the best Greek restaurant in this country that we have been to so far. Since our vacation in Greece, we have been reluctant to go out for Greek food in Germany because we were always disappointed. The search is over :-) we will definitely be back and have found our new favorite Greek restaurant. Thank you for this great Greek hospitality!

We spontaneously went to eat in this beautiful Greek restaurant. The service was very friendly and accommodating. We ate chicken souvlaki with homemade fries and grilled mackerel. The boss quickly filleted the mackerel for us at the table. Both dishes were very tasty. As a starter we had homemade bread and tirokafteri (cheese cream). As a greeting from the kitchen we were served a small Greek pasta salad, very delicious. An all-round successful evening.

We were there on a Sunday evening two weeks ago, nice table outside, unfortunately with a view of the construction site down the street, but this wonderful restaurant can't help that. Great food that speaks for itself! Not the "Gyroplatte Athens" with coleslaw from the metro and over-salted fries made from the frying fat from 3 weeks ago. You don't get a greeting from the kitchen everywhere anymore. But here it is! The service is great and it's just fun to see how the team works. Of course, including loud conversations in Greek that we guests don't understand. That's part of it! But people are rushing around, serving dishes, clearing away, mopping... at a speed and with such ease... crazy! We have to go back, simply because we have forgotten to take photos of the food for a review every time. But hey, no wonder given the atmosphere!

The staff in the restaurant is very friendly, attentive and nice. It is an authentic Greek restaurant, the food is very tasty. I took a grilled sea bream, the best I've eaten this year. Highly recommended.

Its the best restaurant in Boon and best service 😍🙏😍🙏😍🙏😍

Went for dinner with two friends today around 5 p.m. The boss and his employees were very friendly. I was also able to use my little vocabulary of the Greek language, which the boss happily responded to. The food was great. Pastitsio was a hit. The greeting from the kitchen, a small salad, was also great. There was nothing to complain about. We felt like we were in Greece and will come back.

Well, it was okay but we wouldn't come back for dinner again. Because 1. we waited 50 minutes for 2 dishes, 2. there were only a handful of fries, 3. it was carelessly prepared, 4. the waiter doesn't speak German, 5. we didn't feel comfortable.

The place is super pleasant and the food is very good. The waitress is a very kind and welcoming lady.

We were warmly welcomed at 11:15 p.m. and were served a very tasty meal, typically Greek, various meze. Absolutely recommended.

The service is ok. The fish was very good but not much green vegatable with it. A good place.

Nice outdoor ambience, friendly service, good price-performance ratio, authentic cuisine. We'd love to come back.

great food, authentic and very friendly!

Amazing place and food! I think the owner was the one serving us and it was amazing. Super kind and again delicious food! Would love to come back when I’m in Bonn again

A beautiful patio for a delicious summer lunch. I really enjoyed the stuffed aubergine and red pepper/feta dip.

I thought it was worth a visit because of the positive reviews. First of all, we had a waiter who couldn't speak a word of German, so we had to order in English... I ate a bifteki there, the portion was very lean, the size of the plate was the same as a breakfast plate. The whole thing for 17.50 euros. Beer 0.3l for 4.50 euros is also a strong piece. Bifteki was ok in taste, fries were more than lacking in quality. At the end of my visit I had to ask for a bill 3 times until it came after about 20 minutes. Given the prices and quality, you can expect much more. I also wonder where most people have been to eat so far given the reviews that have been given here. In my opinion it's not worth a visit because the price performance is simply not right.

A very nice and quiet place. You “escape” the chaos of the city center and end up in a beautiful, quiet outdoor area that is reminiscent of a beautiful terrace (on vacation) and invites you to relax. The food was more than good. The shrimp and zucchini fritters were amazing as a starter. For the main course we had the dandelion salad and the pasta casserole with minced beef. There was nothing to complain about and we will definitely come back 😊 The staff is friendly and attentive.
