Restaurant Symposion in Bergisch Gladbach

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.

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

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 ;)

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.

Delicious Greek food and very friendly staff

Good attention Very delicious Greek food I recommend it

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.

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

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

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!

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

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

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.

For decades: If Greek cuisine, then Symposium - the No. 1 in taste, quality and service! Everyone here works with passion for the guest’s satisfaction!

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.

Very extensive menu and very tasty food.

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.

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.

Very tasty food and great service!

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.

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

There are super delicious gyros here

A nice small restaurant with friendly service and very good food and because it is so good you should reserve a table.

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!

Very friendly staff and good food

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 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.

Wide range, incredibly tasty, huge portions, very nice, helpful staff and open to every wish. Absolutely perfect and recommended for an evening with an outdoor space, a very nice atmosphere and a glass of wine! And it's been that way for many years - great!! TIP: Cold appetizer platter and Poseidon fish platter! The price is totally ok! Parking can sometimes be difficult. Tip: At the district court around the corner.

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

As always, the food was delicious and plentiful.

Very good food and friendly staff. Everything from the grill is super delicious. !!

The grill plate at the Greek restaurant was delicious with perfectly marinated meat and homemade tzatziki. Unfortunately, the fries were a bit too soggy and the honey in the dessert could have been of better quality. Nevertheless, the atmosphere was inviting and the service was excellent, including personal attention from the boss. Overall a pleasant experience with room for improvement.

Okay for gyros and fries, but the rest is not recommended. The grilled dishes are all okay… as you would apparently expect. We also had a saganaki with shrimp and that was a disgrace. Shrimp baked in cream sauce with pizza cheese would have been better. Unfortunately inedible for us. Service is quick but very superficial and not very hospitable. Here too, quantity comes before quality. Ambiance is from the 80s... if you like that.

The taste and size of the portions are okay.

A very good restaurant. Great friendly staff. Inexpensive lunch.

We spent a nice evening at the Symposium. The service was friendly and quick, the food was tasty, hot and especially the gyros were of good quality and not too greasy; Only some pieces were very salty. The moussaka was good, I would have liked a little more potatoes and eggplant. All in all a nice evening with good food; we will definitely come by again.

Food was delicious, service was very polite and attentive. That was a cozy evening.

Always happy. Very friendly service and great service. The food was very tasty. You didn't have to wait long for your starter and main course. We are already looking forward to the next visit.

Best Greek restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and lots of seats. If you just want something to take away, there is a counter outside. The staff and the boss are always very friendly and accommodating. If possible, special requests are taken into account and the food and wine are always top notch.

We really enjoy coming here. Reservations are important. But we often got a table for two. 😊

Very, very tasty food at a reasonable price! Nice staff and there's also an ouzo as a little gimmick! What more do you want ?

Unfortunately it is difficult to reach due to a major construction site at the moment.

A good Greek with a good cuisine In addition to the classic tourist food with various platters, there are also little gems Use lamb, it was super good Unfortunately, high prices

Very tasty food in more than sufficient quantities. Very attentive and friendly service. Always highly recommended for Greek food.

Super tasty and very friendly. Here you get something for your money. Great👍

Very nice Greek food, super tasty and very affordable, with huge quantities. A free shot of Uzo at the beginning is also very appreciated. Nice place and nice ambiance 😀

Super delicious food and very friendly staff. Price-wise, it's absolutely okay for the portion sizes.

Good food, friendly service and a feel-good atmosphere.

Super delicious food, great cuisine, very friendly staff. Highly recommended

Heel drukke plek. Niet bepaald gezellig ingericht. Heel lawaaierig als de zaak vol zit. Wel vriendelijke ontvangst en bediening. Kwaliteit eten is oké. Op de foto gegrilde zalmfilet.

Essen war sehr lecker. Von Vorspeise bis zum Dessert alles gut angerichtet und alles sehr gut. Große Portion. Service war wie immer mega freundlich .

Essen ist Klasse, Ambiente ist gemütlich, Und die Leute sind super freundlich.

Gutes Essen, super nettes Personal, Service top. Was will man mehr? Weiter so

Their food was awesome. I ordered the Mykonos Grillteller and the portion was huge. All the meat was very tasty and seasoned perfectly, the fries were also above average. I would definitely go back!

Nach ewiger Zeit mal wieder den Imbiss am Fenster ausprobiert. Und ich muss sagen: mega!! Ist mal gleich eine ganze Liga über den anderen griechischen Läden, die ich kenne! Dauert ein bisschen und die Parkplatzsituation ist ein bisschen Glücksache. Aber das Essen ist unschlagbar! Deswegen trotzdem volle Punktzahl!

6 Verbrannte Gyros Pita erhalten zum mitnehmen, wurden reklamiert haben aber wieder Verbrannte Gyros Pita bekommen. Der Pita war Schwarz Leute das ist Krebs erregend!!!! Wir haben 5 Kinder Photos vorhanden.

Sehr leckeres Essen und der Service hervorragend 🫶 Besser geht nicht!

Vor genau einem Jahr durfte ich dieses authentische griechische Restaurant kennen lernen. Ein Jahr, wo jeder Besuch ein absoluter Gaumenschmaus war. Der Service ist immer hervorragend und ein leeres Glas bleibt nie unbemerkt. Selbst ohne Reservierung wird hier immer eine Lösung gesucht und gefunden um einen Platz zum Essen zu finden.

Kann die guten Rezensionen leider nicht nachvollziehen.. ich fand es enttäuschend. Bei mir hat Preis-Leistung nicht gestimmt, griechischer Salat für 13 Euro, normalerweise kommt da ein ganzer Feta drauf, hier war es (wenn überhaupt) nur die Hälfte, dann noch 3 Oliven und sonst nur "billige" Sachen wie Tomaten, Gurken und so... Auch war es nicht wirklich authentisch, war selbst oft in Griechenland und habe einen Griechen in der Familie, Balsamico hat meiner Erfahrung nach da nichts drauf zu suchen und Paprika hat auch gefehlt... Das Schlimmste aber war, dass unter meinem Stuhl ein Haufen Hundekacke gelegen hat und ich mir damit so richtig schön die Schuhe ruiniert hab. Ekelhaft! 🤮🤮 Leider nicht mal eine Entschuldigung bekommen, auf unsere Beschwerde beim Gehen wurde nur arrogant erwidert, dass sie ja nix dafür könnten, war wohl der Hund von einem Gast, komischerweise waren wir an dem Tag aber die ersten Gäste. Richtig sauber gemacht wurde das Ganze dann auch nicht, waren immer noch Streifen da... Sorry aber das geht gar nicht!! 2 Sterne, weil zumindest der Rest ok war, Essen beim Rest der Familie so 3-4 Sterne, Bedienung war ziemlich aufmerksam
