Restaurant Symposion in Bergisch Gladbach

Good Greek restaurant, plentiful food, fast and friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. I'd happily return.

The food is very tasty and plentiful. Friendly service. Always very busy, therefore a bit loud.

Beautiful address with always good food and friendly service!

Far too many people there on Saturday evening. Loud like a train station. Food ok Service very friendly

A very good Greek restaurant with very tasty food and top service! If I had to list something negative it would be the noise level in the fully booked restaurant. But this is a circumstance that is often encountered in the catering industry. I recommend making a reservation at least a day in advance, otherwise you won't be able to enjoy good Greek cuisine. We will come back.

We really enjoy going here. The whole team is super friendly and the food is great.

A restaurant that I remember from my youth. Simply recommended, high quality, reasonable prices and friendly staff. Booking a table in advance is recommended, at popular times it is almost always full😊

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Delicious Greek Food & Warm Hospitality** Had a fantastic meal at **Symposium** in Bensberg! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with a nice mix of traditional and modern touches. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. The food was absolutely delicious—fresh ingredients, generous portions, and perfectly seasoned. The grilled meats were tender and flavorful, and the mezze options were a great way to try different dishes. The homemade dips and warm pita were a highlight! If you’re looking for authentic Greek food in a relaxed setting, **Symposium is a must-visit.** Can’t wait to come back!

Wonderfully good food. Just the right thing to escape the stressful everyday life and simply enjoy a delicious meal

Even though I forgot to make a reservation, the great team managed to get me and my wife a table. Even though the shop was super full, the boss still had time for tips to make the food taste even better 🥰. 5 stars are simply not enough for the team 🤩.

Highly recommended! Super delicious food. Any time.

Always my pleasure. Very good food. Price - performance top. Susi has her team under control.

Unique Vasilis is simply the best and always enjoys delicious food.

We really liked it here. The staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. The service was quick and the food was excellent. We'd love to come back!

I really don't know of a better Greek restaurant. The employees are ALL polite, loving and always friendly. Everyone cares about making you feel comfortable and happy to come back. The food is great and you can still afford a visit. We'd love to come back. Thank you for the great time with you.

Nice Greek restaurant, friendly service and delicious food. We were here for the first time today and will definitely come back again.

We had a very tasty Greek meal. Stifado, Gyros, Lamb etc. Huge portions. There was delicious red house wine, Uzo and Greek beer. Price performance good. It was very crowded on a normal Thursday. Good thing we did had reserved. The only drawback was that it was so loud that conversation was only possible to a limited extent.

I can only recommend whether you take the food with you or are there. Always great

Very nice staff and super delicious food👍🏼 Thank you

Very tasty food, very friendly team. We want to come back...

The food was simply amazing! We spontaneously got a table on a Friday evening and had a really tasty starter. The waiters were all very nice and, above all, very attentive. The main courses were also very tasty. Only recommended! We'd love to come back.

Very authentic Greek, a fabulous restaurant where you feel like you are at home with friends. The food was incredibly delicious and we were welcomed with open arms as if we were there every week. It was the first time :-) but it certainly won't be the last time!!

By far the best Greek in the entire area. Here I regularly enjoy the best souvlaki skewers I've ever had in Germany. The lunch menu is also highly recommended, perfect for a small appetite. The starter salad and especially the dressing are very tasty. The ouzo served here is at least as good as the excellent service!

An institution among Greek restaurants for so many years. The food is delicious and very filling - so you should think carefully about ordering an appetizer. The service is extremely friendly and committed. There is a regular party atmosphere here in the evenings. This may also be because the guest is always served an ouzo upon greeting, with their meal and afterwards ;-) Conclusion: You have to experience the symposium!

A super ingenious restaurant with very tasty cuisine and very nice waiters. If you want to eat well in Bensberg, this is the perfect place for you

We were lucky and got a table. Food was again very good. Nice staff as always.

Nice restaurant with delicious food and top service.

I just had dinner here with family The food is good. Service is very nice. I would like to come here more often. ❤❤❤❤❤

Food was ok, but no highlights... just simple Greek cuisine. Service hectic and short. Ambiance loud babble of voices...and that's not enough. The music system is turned up...but with pop and rock...unbearable and inappropriate for a Greek restaurant. Better to pick up to go.

Here by chance and we were really impressed by both the service and the food, thank you very much for that

Friendly service and delicious food.

Super nice friendly host. Very tasty food, very good service. We landed here by chance from Bitburg, 200 km away, and were very excited. We will definitely come back again!

Simple but very good food, the owner is a super host, very friendly. We had grilled prawns and sea bream, both excellent. Place was very busy when we were there (Saturday) evening so would recommend to make a reservation.

Very friendly and accommodating, even without a reservation they try to arrange a table on busy days. Food is plentiful and delicious, we will come again.

Dearest! Super friendly staff, good management and as if that wasn't enough, the quality of the kitchen is also good. We always enjoy being guests there.

A beautiful and cozy restaurant with great and friendly staff. There wasn't a table available at first so we were sent to the bar to wait, which was fine. Here you could drink your first Gaffel Kölsch. The table was ready in no time and we could sit down. Drinks, food, bill - everything came quickly and served to our complete satisfaction. We would be happy to come back on our next trip.

Good taste I think the price for the portion is expensive

Nice atmosphere with friendly service and particularly good food. I can only recommend it to everyone, especially the potato slices ;)

Delicious Greek food and very friendly staff

I go there every now and then for lunch with my father, so far everything has been decent. A little meat-heavy, not surprising, always tasty, good portions and friendly service. Prices reasonable. Often well attended.

Good attention Very delicious Greek food I recommend it

Very friendly staff. Super delicious food and really cozy too. You can easily stay there a little longer

A great meal and attentive staff. Price-performance ratio is right. Portion was also more than big enough for us. But we are also a bit older and no longer growing 😀

Super great restaurant, friendly service, not a long wait for the food despite the hut being full... and the food was delicious, super fresh. Will definitely come back

FANTASTIC SHOP. FANTASTIC FOOD. FANTASTIC STAFF!!! I'm glad to see Greeks owning such shops and moving forward. The sea bream was divine!!! I really have no words to describe how much I loved EVERYTHING. We visited you for the first time, but now I can say that we will be regular customers of the store. Congratulations to the whole team for the quality they produce!! See you again!

After a visit to the Mediterrana the question was, where should we eat? Since we love Greek, we asked people where you can eat good Greek food. Then it came like a shot from a gun at the symposium. Golden tip. Great place. Very friendly staff and the food was absolutely great. The restaurant was very well attended. The food we ordered came after 15 minutes, despite the restaurant being full. And it was absolutely worth every penny. By far the best Greek restaurant we've had in a long time. If we travel back to Bergisch Gladbach from Saarland, we will definitely go to the symposim again. Short and sweet: Great Greetings from the Treitz family

We are currently at a hotel in the area and spontaneously went there without a reservation. Despite the fact that it was busy and there were already a lot of reservations, we managed to get a table. We were served quickly and very friendly. There is a very good selection of food and the portions are large. The food came very quickly. The meat was juicy, tender and very well seasoned. Special requests were also addressed very friendly. All in all, it was the best Greek restaurant I've ever eaten at. I'd love to come back when I'm in the area again!

Very friendly staff. Very good food. Very happy again 😃. We were there again and the food was again excellent. The staff is very well coordinated and very friendly. A very nice restaurant.

Good Greek, tasty food and good service.

Very tasty food, you feel very welcome

Very tasty, friendly service and a great ambience!

Way too loud. Everything is very hectic.

Very tasty and quick to eat despite the full tables! It was totally delicious😋 - hot and also sufficient portions, unless you eat onion soup!

Very good food, nice staff, good mood I would be happy to come back to you and of course recommend it again

It was tasty and the portion was sufficient. Ambience ok, I didn't pay much attention to it.

Cozy and well-attended restaurant. The portions are huge and worth every euro. The staff is friendly and accommodating. Payment possible in cash and with VISA.

Very friendly service, food on point. Portions could be a little larger considering the prices. It's busy, so make sure you make a reservation.

The gyros don't suit my taste. The seasoning is too bland and I like the meat crispy.

Great down-to-earth restaurant.

Gutes griechisches Restaurant. Sehr beliebt, da schnelle Küche und Preis-Leistung stimmt! Gemütlich in den abgegrenzten Tischen, ansonsten etwas laut drinnen und für mich zu eng

Very tasty and simply huge portions.

We were very satisfied. Great food and very nice staff. We will be very happy to come back.

Food: Gyros to take away were fantastic, 5 stars Food in the restaurant: could be improved, had the grill plate. Unfortunately it was partially charred and dry, and the fries were a bit limp. Next time to take away again. 3/5 Ambiance: is terrible, still very reminiscent of its predecessors and screams (and smells) like a pub. You really could have invested more in decoration and renovation/redesign. The store has potential, but unfortunately only 2/5 for ambience.

Nothing special. The starters looked like they were from a bad snack, whether warm or cold. Prices are clearly too high for starters of such average quality and presentation. Waiting times and service also left a lot to be desired. Would rather go somewhere else next time.

Very extensive menu and very tasty food.

Nice, good food, nice staff. Gladly again and recommendation from me..

Always delicious and recommended!

The food, especially the garlic bread, was very good. The boss was very personable and accommodating. Only recommended.

We were passing through and ended up in this restaurant by chance. Could sit outside. Nice and polite service. There is a lunch menu. Food was fresh and juicy. Can be highly recommended.

Very tasty food and great service!

Great food. Very good service. Prices/performance is more than reasonable. We recommend.

There are super delicious gyros here

Super very tasty, very attentive and friendly. Food came quickly even though it was very busy.

Good food at reasonable prices. Very friendly staff.

A Greek restaurant to fall in love with. We come here very often because we are always amazed by the quality. The food is definitely recommended in every category and the service is also very good. The ambience looks like a normal restaurant. There is still room for improvement here. It's clean and cozy. There is also seating outside to enjoy food in a good atmosphere. Parking spaces are available in the immediate vicinity. This restaurant is ideal for people with walking difficulties and wheelchair users. We can highly recommend the restaurant.

Friendly, fast team! It's nice to sit in the ambience, which has remained unchanged for 30 years! Otherwise, it's a mystery to me why the food gets so many good reviews. After the grilled plate and the liver, my wife and I were sick for hours. In my opinion, nothing was freshly prepared! The salad certainly comes in a bucket! The meat was totally over-seasoned! The lamb chops were tough and dry! I didn't get full from the grill plate for €20.50, although I'm certainly not a heavy eater. Sorry, in my opinion a gyro plate in any chip shop in the area is more recommended! The food ran after us for hours!

Das Team ist freundlich und schnell! Das Essen ist aber unter aller Kanone! Sorry, aber das war meiner Meinung nach überteuertes, schlechtes, eingekauftes Pommesbuden Essen, das mir stundenlang hinterher gelaufen ist! Davon war sicherlich nichts frisch zubereitet!

Very friendly staff and good food

very great food. price performance okay. location pleasant. but you can go there! Thanks

We - my wife and I, as well as our sons and their families - have been customers of the Symposium for over 20 years. And so far always very satisfied. The food is very tasty, the service is great, and the customer's wishes are usually taken into account. Never a reason to be dissatisfied. Thank you very much and keep it up! Daniel.

Very friendly staff and balanced offering 😊

Unfortunately I can't share the good reviews here. Waiting 1.5 hours for a burnt salmon is simply too much. The fact that after complaining, 3 people ask whether the fish was actually dry is extremely unpleasant. The fact that the supposed boss remained at the table for minutes without comment was also unpleasant. The tzatziki was great, but unfortunately the rest wasn't. Souvlaki barely seasoned, gyros cold, fries in the deep fryer for too long. If you want to eat Greek, you've come to the wrong place... Sorry.

Very nice restaurant and very tasty.

Food is really super good. However, sometimes you are “overlooked” after your first drink order, so you really have to draw attention to yourself. Otherwise everything is great and the atmosphere is good.

We love this restaurant and travel a further distance just for it. The food is incredibly tasty and fresh. The meat is perfectly prepared. You can also order the food to take away. The prices are completely fair and good. The portions are large and filling. Recommendation: Try the garlic bread!

Warm-hearted Cozy Yummy Felt... welcomed by a loving Greek family.

Very hospitable restaurant with delicious Greek food!

Everything is just right here...

I can only recommend eating there.Love is in the air, absolutely loving service, you feel comfortable and you can feel that they do their job very well and with pleasure. The ambience is very nice...pleasantly clean and the tables are placed so that the man can also other guests. We decided to eat outside because we had great weather. We were asked in a charming way from time to time if everything was okay so that as a guest you felt like you were in good hands. Eat on Point..... which was very tasty, very good quality meat, salad as a side dish, fries or foil potatoes, there were 4 people plus a dog, everyone had a different dish and everyone was happy with the food, freshly warm and well presented on the plate. Great location near the castle we will eat there again. Thanks to the entire team. Service kitchen is simply top. Thanks for that

The service is very friendly and very quick. The food was simply Yummi 😋. Prices are also moderate. Can highly recommend.👍

It was a while ago but we were very satisfied here. Food and service was very good

The Symposium, a great Greek restaurant in the middle of Bergisch Gladbach Bensberg. On Schlossstrasse you can sit and dine comfortably in both the beautiful outdoor area and the rustic interior area. The food is great, the quality is always convincing. The service is super friendly, courteous and attentive - the Kölsch or wine glass is never empty for long. Really recommended! 👍🏼 Efcharistó!

Very friendly staff and very good food. Can only be recommended.

Very nice restaurant. Good food, moderate price and quick service. We recommend

Simply the best Greek far and wide ☺️. The food is simply delicious and the service is perfect. We have been coming here for years and can only recommend it

We live in Cologne. On public holidays or weekends we sometimes go on a hike through the beautiful Franconian Forest. Then we go to the symposium. We chose the Greek restaurant at random and we were very satisfied The food was very tasty Everything grilled to perfection Service and operation very nice, quick and competent. I come from the catering industry myself. We'll be back and happy.

Have been there several times now and have always been satisfied. Food is always freshly prepared and tastes very good. We always enjoy being there and will come again 😁.

Vorweg: Speisen und Getränke , der Serivce am Tisch waren in gewohnt guter Qualität. Was uns allerdings verärgert hat war der Empfang... nachdem wir das Lokal betreten, unseren Namen und Reservierung genannt hatten , betraten weitere Gäste das Lokal ... uns ließ man mitten im Raum stehen und kümmerte sich zunächst um die "neuen" Gäste... das ist ein absolutes "NoGo" und hat uns ordentlich den Abend verdorben....

In principle, I am always very enthusiastic about the food. Today I was just there when I was a little hungry and treated myself to the starter of breaded shepherd's cheese. Well the cheese was good and the side salad could have been given as a gift. Dry green salad and a pepperoni. 2 slices of flatbread. Was neither well turned on nor nice in any way. The service was excellent and always friendly. It was my first not so nice experience here.

Great service, very good food. We really enjoyed it, really tasty.
