Restaurant Orfeo Greco in Heiligenhafen

Greek restaurant with good food

The staff is extremely friendly and the food is always excellent. You feel very comfortable there, great atmosphere.

Like every year in November we went on vacation for a week in Heiligenhafen. We always looked forward to eating at Greco! But since the change of tenant, nothing has been the same! The starter platter is now supposed to cost €24 and was a joke for the money! I have the feeling that many products are finished products and are not fresh (e.g. chicken gyros!) €6.40 for a 0.5 beer isn't bad either! We went into the apartment quite disappointed and chose other restaurants that had better quality. It's a real shame - (we should get tips from our predecessors on how to send guests home satisfied 👍)

Unfortunately extremely deteriorated. We haven't been to Heiligenhafen for a year and were very happy to be there again this year and to go to our favorite Greek restaurant. The calamari there was always very tasty. But this year everything was different, different tenant, different overwhelmed waiters and bad food. The calamari was almost squishy. The fries were cold and the Taramas dip simply tasted like lemon! The additional tzatziki ordered with the main course only came when we had already finished eating and was returned untouched. Only the bread with the dip that you get in advance was convincing. It's a real shame - we've probably been to this Greek restaurant three times during our holiday, now we have to look for other places.

Woher kommen die guten Bewertungen? Die Bedienungen, das Essen waren schlecht. Bei drei besetzen Tischen haben wir das falsche serviert bekommen:( wie kann das passieren. Das Gyros schmeckte nicht, das Fleisch war dünn und fettig. Der Tsatsiki schmeckte nicht und der Dip zum Brot war mehr eine Cocktail Soße. Das überbackene Gyros in Metaxasoße war zu salzig. Die Preise sind unverschämt. Lohnt sich nicht!!!

Tried again. Disappointed to no end. Service not good. Bifteki was pressed cardboard and not minced meat. Six years since the last time. And it will really take longer this time. Really bad, so much money for nothing. Next time doner kebab.

Super good food. Service nice and attentive.

Unfortunately the food wasn't tasty. The tables were also very small. Even the bifteki was frozen food, which is why I didn't give it a star

Deliciously prepared food on exceptional dishes. Excellent service, and of course an ouzo before and after your meal.

Mega tasty and large portions. Price performance top.

We were here for the first time today. The food was excellent and the portions were good. Can highly recommend

The outside area would have been really nice if the weather had been better and the sun was shining. The food was delicious and the waitresses were super friendly. Gladly again ☺️

Nice atmosphere, nice and fast service. We enjoyed it very much.

Food delicious! Service great, gladly again. The small drawback was my spot in front of the entrance, an automatic door closer would be recommended, it drafts cold in there.

As always, very good. We love coming here!

Always happy, really tasty and friendly service

At least now in October 2024 a huge portion, as a good eater I couldn't manage it. And delicious too. Service top. Absolute recommendation.

A very nice restaurant. The ambience is just perfect. The employees were all very nice and friendly. The food was simply great.

We come by once every holiday, the food is great and the service is very nice too! Unfortunately the prices are a bit too high...

Absolutely recommended! Great atmosphere and staff. We'll definitely be back. And the portions are also remarkable. Keep it up!!!

Was there for the first time today and received friendly service despite the fact that they were about to close. For the amount of food, the price was completely okay When we go on vacation again I have found my favorite Greek restaurant. Keep it up TOP

We are thrilled, the food and service are excellent. We can only highly recommend it.

Had a great week, super friendly, food was very good 👍 👍 👍 👍 familiar like at home. We are thrilled and always happy to come back when we are on holiday in Heiligenhafen. Highly recommended!

A nice Greek restaurant. The food is super tasty and the service is friendly...👍👍👍👍

The place is simply great. For us, visiting is a must on every vacation. The food is super tasty and the waitresses are very nice and accommodating. It's also nice for children. We can highly recommend the restaurant and hope that it stays as it is for a long time.

The food here is very tasty. The bread with garlic dip was particularly impressive. Ambience is "Greek Rustic" and clean. Only the prices are quite high, hence only four stars.

Very nice and friendly welcome We had a great evening with a great meal. Thank you...We'll be back

The food was very tasty, the boss was very nice and served us very well. I can honestly only recommend going and trying it out. I would like to go there again.

The best Greek in Heiligenhafen.

We liked it very much. A very nicely decorated restaurant with friendly and courteous staff. The food we ordered was very tasty and well prepared. Thank you for the lovely evening

The food is very tasty and you are warmly welcomed and the service is very good

We eat out very often. We have never experienced such hectic service in any restaurant. Okay, the restaurant was really full, but do you have to rush through the restaurant the whole time? This doesn't really make the guests, who sometimes had to wait 30 minutes just to get the card, any more relaxed. Some guests also left who probably didn't want to wait that long. The food itself was really great, I had gyros and my wife Bifteki had chicken, and the decor was also good. We paid immediately after we finished eating. It's a shame that the waitress ruined our evening. What we didn't like at all was that guests with large dogs were allowed in. This really doesn't have to be the case, especially when the restaurant is so full.

The food today was a disaster, the taste wasn't really edible, and the way it was prepared wasn't very appetizing. I was actually looking forward to Ofredo, but we don't come here like that anymore

Everything perfect, very nice and fast service

The food was really delicious, but we had to wait well over an hour for it... It was very crowded, which made it very stressful and busy!

Indescribable, unfriendly service, even though the restaurant was poorly attended, you were assigned a cat table that only had space for a glass. When you asked if you could get a slightly larger table, you were told. With two people we wouldn't be enough for a larger table. I think at Orfeo Greco it is no longer necessary to be friendly and courteous with guests. It's the second time we've gotten such a small table. Everything was served at once so we had to put some of the food on the windowsill. Too bad!

Very tasty food... and very nice service

The price-performance ratio for such a delicious meal was simply perfect. Can be highly recommended.

Very tasty, nothing to complain about

The food was very tasty. It would make sense to reserve a table.

...there were completely new staff here. This is much friendlier than the previous one. But otherwise...everything has gotten better...

One of the best Greeks we've ever been to. Everything is right here. Great ambience. Very hospitable service and great food. We'd love to come back.

4.6 Fits! unfortunately my gyros was a bit “black” “Zack Zack” service

It was very good here and the food was a dream. We give it all the points there are. And keep coming back.

Hello, we came without a reservation and got a table. Unfortunately it was very crowded that day and everything took a little longer. The food was very tasty and well prepared. Really reasonably priced. Friendly staff and also very quick. Gladly again...

We were there twice during our holiday week with 5 people. The food was great and there were also small portions to choose from. We can recommend it without reservation.

Excellent, delicious food. Freshly, very tasty prepared. Best quality. The service is also top. I can absolutely recommend it!

Unfortunately we had lukewarm food. Unfortunately the lamb was cooked through. The pork fillet was grilled to death... What a shame

Can't understand the many good reviews. The food was Greek standard, quite salty, nothing special. The prices are very high. On average between €20 and €25 for a normal meal, which is around €5 more expensive than in Mykonos, for example. The waiting time was very long, around an hour for us. The staff was far too thinly staffed, annoyed and snotty. We didn't receive any cutlery when we asked and had to get it from the counter ourselves.

Long waiting time and bad service

Good Greek, had a nice meal here, varied menu and excellent food on the terrace, which can be covered, but in our case the roof was open

Classical Greek. High-quality, mouth-watering dishes. Portions are a bit small at these prices and the large beer is clearly too expensive at over €6.

Absolutely superb food, have anxiety every time! 🫣 the staff is just the best! ❤️👏🏼 YIAMAS! 🍻🍹

Super nice team, very good food, nice atmosphere. Definitely recommended. Thank you

Mega! The service and the food are simply mega, full five stars and can only be recommended

Wir sind absolute Fans von griechischem Essen und dementsprechend oft zu Gast in vielen griechischen Restaurants. Im direkten Vergleich trennt sich inzwischen allerdings die Spreu vom Weizen, was Qualität und Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis betrifft. Im Orfeo Greco stimmt das Ambiente, die freundliche Bedienung, die Qualität der Speisen und der Ouzo davor und danach. Was allerdings überhaupt nicht mehr passt in diesem Restaurant, sind die inzwischen völlig überteuerten Preise, insbesondere für die Getränke. Nach Corona sind die Preise zwar in allen Restaurants nach oben gegangen, aber im Orfeo Greco hat man das Maß des Vertretbaren deutlich überschritten. Für uns ganz eindeutig der Grund, das ansonsten sehr ansprechende Restaurant künftig zu meiden, denn es gibt zum Glück immer noch kostengünstigere Alternativen, die ähnliche Qualität zu akzeptableren Preisen bieten.

Hello, the food was very good and eating a lot per portion will definitely fill you up. Service is also very friendly.

We got a table very quickly without a reservation. The staff was very friendly and the food was served quickly and warm. The ambience also looked very nice whether from inside or outside. However, the prices are still so limited that it is neither expensive nor cheap. Definitely worth a visit if you love Greek cuisine.

Unfortunately for us there is no star at all (but we had to give one)!!! Had a voucher that was issued on May 27th, 2022 - when I asked how long a voucher was valid, it said 3 years! But you didn't want to accept the voucher from 2022 and kept saying it had expired! No clarification was possible and so I canceled everything and left! Never again!!!!

Portions completely overpriced. Food is delivered to the table very quickly. The taste was very diminished. We always enjoyed eating there, but now we prefer to visit our colleague a few meters away near the old town.

Was here for the first time today and I can say that I was very satisfied. The food was just so delicious. I will definitely come back here several times.

We sat outside under a nice roof and felt very comfortable there. The food was plentiful, good and affordable. The service was nice and very friendly. My wife and I spent our wedding anniversary there. The restaurant is highly recommended.

We have been coming here for several years and it is always delicious!

Food great, service a bit overwhelmed.

The meal went like this, my gyro was already very cold and had somehow been cut off for a long time. Prices were already at the limit for a Greek. Ambience outside was nice.

The food was really top. But the service seemed a bit overwhelmed. There was no question as to whether we would like anything else to drink. After we asked for the bill we had to wait about 10-15 for it. The price is justified for the food.

Mass processing and overpriced 🤷‍♂️ very impersonal

1x is enough. Price/performance ratio doesn't fit. €6.20 for 0.5L beer is no longer justified! Gyros with onions €19.90 Good portion but meat very fatty and sometimes not cooked through. Poorly seasoned. Covered outdoor area OK, but fully booked to the last place. Very loud! Toilets in the basement seem very unkempt. Smells like urine when you go down the stairs.

All in all, a good Greek restaurant... unfortunately others know this too, so it can definitely make sense to reserve a table in advance ;)

Tolles Lokal, nette Bedienung und gut organisiert. Angeboten wird die übliche Bandbreite.Qualität und Geschmack gut

...no comparison to the previous visit, the service, the food and the atmosphere were 🙌 🤩

The service is very friendly and The food is delicious

The food there was very tasty and the service served us very well. Next time I'll take my whole family with me

Simply great place. Excellent Greek themed food.

Unfortunately, despite the nice weather, we weren't allowed to sit outside. Food was tasty and prepared quickly, but a bit expensive. The service was friendly and there was ouzo before and after the meal 😉

What should I capitalize? Our second visit here was a flop. The Orfeo is a tourist restaurant in a tourist town. This means it is impersonal and the service is quick at the table and quickly gone. The food is served on beautiful plates, but the quality is "normal" Greek. So no better or worse than anywhere else. In total we were served by 4 different, taciturn people. There was never a feel-good atmosphere. We also sat outside on the huge terrace, squeezed into a corner. In the end, you don’t want to sell any more drinks or desserts. The team spent most of their time at the counter, busy with themselves. You always wonder why a restaurant has so many good reviews when you have a completely different perspective. By the way, there was again a friendly greeting (only for regular guests) and there was no farewell either. That's a knockout anyway. for me. That shows you don't want me to come back. Conclusion: The first visit was ok, the second visit was unnecessary. No recommendation from us. Only the regular guest counts here, the rest are just there.

Sehr leckeres Essen mit großen Portionen. Schneller,freundlicher und sehr aufmerksamer Service. Und den obligatorischen Ouzo gibt es gleich 2 mal. Danke für einen schönen Abend.

Fantastic food, big portions and nice service. Can not get any better.

Everything is always delicious, wonderful, helpful staff!

The ambience was great, and the service staff made an effort to keep everyone happy. That wasn't great, the fries were still partly raw, the gyros weren't that good, the bifteki was totally tasteless, not seasoned, and very salty from the shepherd's cheese inside. And we don't want to talk about the price, it's totally overpriced. We paid 84 euros for 2 people, each with 1 dish and a drink and 1 starter which we shared between the two of us. Overall, no, not again.

The food was very good, tasted delicious and was more than enough and the price was ok. The service left a lot to be desired on our day, our dessert was forgotten and when we wanted to pay no one came. The drinks are extremely expensive, which I think is a shame.

There's nothing better, very tasty and the best service!!!

The food is top!! The service was very, very nice.!!

Great restaurant, very tasty, and great service!!!

Restaurant has a nice location and an even better courtyard. Overall very clean and welcoming. We started with an appetizer. This tasted really good. The breaded feta is highly recommended. In the meantime, a large TV was switched on and some series on ARD and then football were loudly playing. In my opinion, I go to a Greek restaurant to eat and have conversations. However, the TV was just too loud and very disturbing while eating. Unfortunately, some of the staff cannot speak German, only broken English. After the starter, our table was full of empty dishes, but it took the waitress 10 minutes to clear them away. the staff preferred to chat and watch TV. There were a total of about 10 of us (5 tables) with the other guests. In any case, much more attention must be paid here. Main course: my wife had chicken gyros (very tasty). I had baked chicken fillet in metaxa sauce with fries and salad. Unfortunately I have to say it wasn't a good meal. The fries were soggy. The chicken was served very hot in a casserole dish (top). However, the metaxa sauce was unseasoned and only had a hint of cream taste. However, Metaxa sauce should contain a fruity note. Unfortunately the meat was too tough and overall not good. For a dish for which I pay around €22, I expect a top dish with good taste. However, unfortunately the opposite happened here. I didn't get a side salad with the main course. Overall, a below average visit and also the last one. In summary: the staff should be much more attentive, especially when there are very few guests there. Season dishes properly. Hire staff who can at least speak English. And please turn off that huge TV or, alternatively, have a campfire going. No one wants to watch football in the courtyard of a Greek restaurant, except when Germany is playing (here there were other teams) Starters are good. Unfortunately, the prices of the main courses do not correspond to the quality. In total we paid €75 including tip for a not so great evening. It's a shame actually

The food was delicious. However, the service really left a lot to be desired. It all takes forever. It felt like an eternity passed before we were even able to order drinks. When the glasses were empty, no one asked if we wanted anything else! After we asked twice for the bill to come, another eternity passed... A pity! It's actually a really nice atmosphere, but a little more attention would have been really good

Nice atmosphere, the food was good and plentiful. Unfortunately the service is not good at all. No attention, everything (from handing out the menus to ordering to paying) took a very long time. Drinks were empty for ages but no questions were asked, very unstructured. It's a shame actually. I'm often in Heiligenhafen but I won't be back any time soon.

Unfortunately I hadn't read the reviews beforehand. But I also have to mention the Metaxa sauce. It was a cheap tomato sauce from a bag, "seasoned" with cilli or something similar and extended with a lot of water. I can only confirm: There is no trace of Metaxa anywhere! No! - With the best will in the world, that wasn't a (palate) delight! Something like that doesn't work in a restaurant at all!!! There wasn't even anything like a "regret" to be heard from the "service". What a pity! Never with us again!

Friendly welcome, nice service, delicious food! We felt comfortable, thank you

We had to wait 1 hour for our food and it even arrived cold. The alleged “rosemary potatoes” are simple potatoes. The rice is white rice with a minimal amount of peas and “carrots”. The calamari is hard and hard to bite, and there was strange lemon water with it. Unfortunately, we also caught a European Championship match day where the television was playing loudly, the noise was almost unbearable! Service staff is totally inattentive and unfriendly. They would rather sit around and watch the European Championship game than serve the guests. When we were asked whether we liked it, we answered honestly and the service staff obviously didn't care, they just reacted unfriendly. The price-performance ratio is absolutely not right! I would rather give no star at all instead of one!

Good and rich food. Nice employees. Table reservation is definitely recommended.

Food was super good. The taste and quantity are simply bombastic. If we go on holiday here in Heiligenhafen again from the Wendland, we will definitely eat there again.

We were there on June 5, 2024, the food was too salty (No. 83,69,102), chicken skewers were fried to death (hard as the sole of a shoe, bifteki inedible) We've gone out for Greek food several times but what Orfeo asks is a bad joke 😡

Beforehand we had an ouzo on the house, followed quickly by our salad together with delicious garlic bread. The grill plates were very large, had a decent portion of tzatziki and tasted great. There were very few guests there with us. Unfortunately, we still had to wait a long time to order drinks because we weren't noticed due to the loud music and lack of attention. Only louder calls were responded to. Overall we were very satisfied.

Was too excited but when the food was served the fries were cold meat could have been shortened. We waited about 45 minutes for the food, the service staff apparently didn't feel like it that day, orders weren't processed let alone served. Clearing away the teaching bottles and glasses left much to be desired.

The best Greek I know in the whole area. Absolutely recommended. But reserve beforehand. Top food, top prices, top service. Mega super delicious.

Food is very good, it just takes a little longer

Great restaurant, we are now regular customers, the food is always great.

Delicious food and friendly service.

Recommended..... The two of us were just there and ordered gyros (67) and a mixed plate of gyros & suflaki (100). Despite the restaurant being full, very fast and friendly service... after ordering, some browned bread with a kind of cocktail sauce was immediately served... very tasty... and then the salad that accompanied the meal arrived in no time. This one is also deliciously prepared and tastes good. So basically no waiting time... because now the main course came. Very tasty and super soft, juicy gyros that melted in the mouth. Even though it was fried until crispy. Overall, a successful, very tasty meal for under €50. Just keep it up and we'll be happy to come back.
