Taverne El Greco in Herne

Very nice Greek restaurant. Very friendly service. It was very good. Highly recommended. Petra

We've been going to El Greco for years because we absolutely love the food, the atmosphere, the owners, and the staff!! It tastes incredibly delicious!! Everyone is so incredibly kind! The great atmosphere and delicious ouzo complete the experience!! Thank you all for your wonderful hospitality! You're simply the best!! Best regards from the Sauerland and Ruhr area, Karina and Stefan 👍 😄 🤗✨️🎄✨️

The first thing you notice is that the furniture is worn, the paint is peeling, and the tables are sticky. There have also been cobwebs hanging from the lamps for quite some time. Otherwise, it's the usual plaster decoration. Neither of us found it very inviting. My gyros was cold, and so was the meatball. I was given a warm portion of gyros later. Overall, it was too dry for me. My companion had something vegetarian. He said it tasted good, but it wasn't anything special either. Just some vegetables topped with cheese. The service was friendly, and we were given a complimentary ouzo.

Top, it doesn't get any better!

Best Greek restaurant in Herne! The owner is absolutely gorgeous! 😍

Best Greek restaurant in Herne! Sakis and his wife are always welcoming and happy to chat. Keep up the good work!

Best Greek restaurant in Herne! Service, location, atmosphere, food, and drinks are all top-notch! Keep it up!

The food was very good and the staff friendly. However, it was a bit noisy due to two rather large groups.

The price-performance ratio was okay. My steak was a bit tough. But otherwise, the food was good. It was a bit noisy, but that's to be expected in a full restaurant. The service was excellent. I would go again.

We visited the El Greco tavern in Herne for the first time today and were pleasantly surprised. The restaurant has a very cozy, warm atmosphere, and you immediately feel welcome. The service was attentive, friendly, and quick – you can tell that genuine hospitality is the driving force here. Highly recommended – we'll definitely be back!

There were four of us there one early evening. The atmosphere is inviting, the staff are immediately welcoming and cheerful. All the dishes we had (appetizers and main courses) were absolutely delicious. The meat was so tender, truly excellent. The portions (especially the appetizers) are incredibly generous. And every now and then, the owner comes around and refills the carafe of ouzo – where do you still find that these days? I've never experienced anything like it in any other restaurant: such warmth and hospitality, such truly excellent food, and then, all at a reasonable price. If the restaurant weren't so far away, we would definitely come more often; I would absolutely recommend it.

It's a nice place to eat. It was schnitzel day.

The food is delicious. The staff is especially friendly! We'll definitely be back!

Sitting and eating together comfortably with friends

The food was a decent portion. Everything was delicious. The meat was all very tender. I've never eaten such juicy cevapcici. The price is a bit high. The service is super friendly and attentive.

Great food and a fantastic team. See you soon.

Very, very tasty. Great restaurant.

Very nice staff, food was excellent, I can only recommend

Great team, always friendly and very good food 👍

We feel more and more comfortable there!

A busy restaurant is usually a good sign. That was the case here too, when I stopped by one Sunday for a schnitzel and salad. The portions are appropriately large, the ingredients are fresh, and the dishes are very tasty. And all at a fair price. Despite the full house, the service came to the table promptly, and I didn't have to wait long for the food. At the end, I even got a nightcap on the house. You don't see that very often these days. The restaurant is located right on a main road, which is my only criticism, as it's difficult to dine outside in peace. Otherwise, I can wholeheartedly recommend the restaurant.

Very friendly service, cozy tavern. The food is simply amazing. For us, the best Greek restaurant in Herne and the surrounding area!

A second visit is planned for tomorrow, this time with Humphrey, our Landseer. The reservation was easy and friendly despite the large dog 🐕. The first time, the food was very good; the liver was cooked to perfection, and the staff were also full of praise. The service was consistently attentive. The ambiance was functionally sober, very appealing to me without any frills.

Very friendly and attentive staff. Delicious food. We felt very comfortable!

Everything was perfect...we were extremely satisfied with everything. Especially the addition of ouzo.

A very good restaurant and good food. Great atmosphere, if a bit loud, or as I would say, lively. A thoroughly enjoyable meal. I'd gladly go back.

We always enjoy coming here! The service is outstanding, every employee always has a smile on their face, so nothing is left to be desired. The food is top-quality, and the chef is fantastic :)!

We ate here for the first time today for lunch. We received a very friendly welcome. The food was delicious. Small carafes of ouzo were on the house. We will definitely be back. You can come without a reservation for lunch, but you should make a reservation in the evening. The boss was very friendly and funny. You get exactly what you want as a guest.

Undoubtedly one of the most tasteful and appetising restaurants in this area. Whether you are alone or with a group, either evening dinner or lunch,El Greco is the place to wine and dine in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Special lunch menu available at an irriesistable price from 8+Euros. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The food there is delicious and the portions are very generous. The price/performance ratio is right. Very friendly service and a nice chef. Always happy to return.

Food delicious, service great, ambience OK.

The best Greek restaurant in all of Herne. Delicious food, very friendly staff. Great prices. We keep coming back.

Very tasty.👌 Excellent service.

This "restaurant" has nothing to do with Greece or Greek food, sorry. The dressing on the appetizer salad had an unpleasant fishy aftertaste, the gyro was "okay," and there was rather little feta in the bifteki. Telling a vegetarian guest that they're in the wrong place is a no-go... no matter how you mean it. Unfortunately, I didn't notice the lovely ambiance that some people here emphasize. It's basically a pub with a winter garden. The prices aren't appropriate for the quality of the food.

Delicious food and friendly service. You must ask for table 15 with a sea view. 😊

Three of us went there for lunch on a Sunday, and all three were impressed by the outstanding service, the friendliness of the staff, and the attentiveness! We've rarely experienced such exceptional service in a restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious, and it certainly won't be our last visit, even though we're traveling 100 km away. It was a coincidence that we were there, but it was definitely worth it. A huge compliment to the owner; you understand what guests want and how important the quality of the food is! The owner also worked with us that day and provided entertainment! Great, keep it up!

Very tasty and good value for money

The service was very good and the food tasted delicious 😋 there

Everything is just right: good food, great service, cozy atmosphere

A really excellent restaurant. Great ambience, great service, ouzo for everyone... and delicious food. Always worth a visit.

Always my pleasure. Delicious food and very friendly service Veikis is a very nice host Is my regular Greek restaurant

Outdoor dining. Great space. Flavors that take you on a journey.

The food was good, but too much salt for me!

So far everything was great, just a bit small and cramped.

We always enjoy coming here. Top service, super tasty food. At a reasonable price. A very good selection of dishes for young and old. Clearly, the best Greek tavern in the area

Always worth a visit, great food, excellent service, always friendly and in a good mood. But you should reserve in advance to be on the safe side.

The food was typically Greek, tasty and good portions. The menu is too big for my taste, sometimes less is more. It is very busy on weekends, but the staff is still attentive and quick. The meat was a bit too dry for me, so I deducted a point. The ambience, as it was very crowded, wasn't quite as comfortable as it wasn't possible to have a good conversation, which is why only 4 stars here. Overall, however, I can recommend the restaurant.

Great food so the place was full. Loud like a train station hall with all the tables in one room. When groups of men with self-proclaimed singers are bawling at the next table, the ambience is complete for me. I can't drown the 1 hour wait for the food in the free ouzo as a driver.

Very good food and service for a reasonable price

The food was good, quick and hot. The service was courteous but not intrusive. The ambience, like everywhere else, is a matter of taste... but there is a nice, bright atmosphere thanks to the large window front

Very nice and courteous staff. Great host and friendly service who always enchants you with a smile 😃. The food is very tasty and portions are always sufficient. Thanks to the entire team for the beautiful moments. Greetings Pit🤗

We have had very tasty meals here several times. The boss and the staff are always very friendly and quick. If it's very busy, the main courses will take a little longer, but still in a reasonable time. Special requests or changes are also easily addressed. Yesterday we ate very tasty suzukakia and salmon with side dishes.

I recommend this restaurant, its food, the atmosphere are okay. You already know my opinions, I don't go to just anyone. You were invited once. Regards.

The best Greek restaurant in the area for decades.

The food is great, the service even better. We always enjoy coming and often stay longer than planned!

Had dinner there on New Year's Eve. All very good. Food was very tasty, service was very quick even though the restaurant was full. El Greco is highly recommended.

Really tasty, friendly, top service, there are zero criticisms. Great gastronomy from arrival to paying, everything was really great. .

Food was very tasty. The waiters were very nice and accommodating. We'd love to come back.

Super delicious food and nice staff

Chip shop level at exorbitant prices. Burnt, tasteless fried potatoes as a side dish. My daughter found the turkey schnitzel on the children's plate inedible, as did the side salad. The grill plate was mediocre. The meat skewers were chewy. Unfortunately the pork fillet was also tough. All in all very disappointing.

Top food, top innkeeper, top ambience!

It was delicious, we went there for “Christmas dinner” or a Christmas party. I liked it there, the food was delicious, the atmosphere was great too. The staff is very friendly and you feel very welcome there. Only the volume was a bit too high later in the evening, but the atmosphere was very relaxed :-)

An all-round successful day. Super friendly staff, very child-friendly and the food was very tasty and a large portion.

I always enjoy eating there with friends. The waitresses are really nice and everyone should try it out...

Always happy to be there, directly opposite Strünkede Castle.

Here you can eat delicious Greek dishes in a cozy atmosphere (without being fancy). The staff is also very nice and we like going here.

Ambience very unkempt and untidy. The fridge needs to be cleaned up.

The restaurant is highly recommended. The dishes are very tasty and plentiful. Price performance top. Very nice service and a boss with passion. We have eaten here several times and have always been very satisfied. This is how you imagine a cozy Greek evening with friends. Keep it up and best wishes 🤗

Great service with the heart in the right place. The kitchen wasn't my thing: gyros were okay, side salad was German, bifteki was boring, tzatziki wasn't much.

Everything was great, we were thrilled. Keep it up

Very good Greek food for a really fair price. The restaurant/ambience is very cozy. The boss and the employees were very nice and accommodating. We'll be back!!!

A wonderful restaurant with delicious food, cool drinks and a staff that is so warm and treats every guest as if he/she is part of the family. We always enjoy being here!

This was our third time eating here. All dishes are very good quality and tasty. Nice staff and nice atmosphere. Everyone happy, we'll be back.

Yvonne is a great employee. Best ever.

Were invited to a birthday 🎂 meal. The food was very 👍 good, plentiful and it tasted good too The service is relaxed, funny and quick. The boss himself always had good sayings. Were in the restaurant for the first time and will definitely come back.

Always smooth ☺️ great service 👌

Simply amazing......tasty as always.....great price/performance....pure Greek flair....top...top...top...top

The food was fantastic. It tasted super delicious. The service and ambience were perfect. We will stop by more often.

Authentic, super friendly and super tasty. A must for us as Greece fans when we stay overnight in Herne.

Very tasty food, the best service, we felt very comfortable

Always happy to come here ✌🏼😊 Also delicious for vegetarians.

Unfortunately my rump steak was ordered medium but was delivered. The food was no longer hot when it was served. Price too high for this service.

Super nice service and delicious food

The food is really tasty, the service is really good. Unfortunately it was a bit drafty for the ladies so a procedure at the door could help.

Always great 😊 the people who complain that the portions are too small or that the meat is frozen probably only know the chip shop next door and expect it. The portions are plentiful! And they are even too cheap for the price. I would even think a price increase would be appropriate. Try other restaurants, they are clearly more expensive and the quality is not even as good as El Greco.

Very good food at reasonable prices. Nice service. Always my pleasure.

Delicious food and excellent service! Here the guest is king and you immediately feel warmly welcome!

Service top,👍🏼Mr Mirthusan is really particularly attentive and friendly 👍🏼. would love to come back 👍🏼 Food was very good 👍🏼

We love the warmth and the good food.

Unfortunately there are only 5 stars available and I would have liked to have bought some more 😂 Food top Employees are super cool I can only highly recommend the atmosphere. 👍

It's a shame what this restaurant has become, one star for the staff. You can't rate the food because it was so bad, both in terms of presentation and taste. Watery dressing Innards undercooked, raw No spice Tk goods

Food & service always top 👍 see you next time 😉

I've never had anything like this! The meat was streaked with fat, the liver was still bloody, and the rest of what was on the plate was just BAD! So this store is not recommended! Oh chicken schnitzel from the locker! Last thing people

Nice restaurant. Friendly and service-oriented employees. Good food. Recommended

Delicious food, family atmosphere and friendly service. You felt welcome

Unfortunately you cannot dine outside in this restaurant, it is only for smokers. My steak was okay, but the salad was too acidic and pretty simple. The fried potatoes didn't taste great. Since the prices are significantly higher than other restaurants, the overall rating is only three stars and only because my wife was happy with her fish platter. It will be downgraded by one star: In the meantime, we ate pretty much the same thing elsewhere, which was a lot tastier and also significantly cheaper. In particular, I was NOT impressed with my steak and fried potatoes at the El Greco tavern.

Went there for the first time today with the girls and we were really excited! Service was excellent! Food from starter to dessert was very tasty and the price was 5 ⭐️! Really great team! Gladly again 👍

Bombshell restaurant/tavern. No matter whether it's a delicious meal or just a beer or ouzo. Super nice staff. Food is excellent. Price performance is completely okay. The atmosphere is also very cozy! Clear recommendation from me!

Burnt fried potatoes, dry meat, unseasoned casseroles. The worst thing is the constant smell of fabric softener coming from the basement window directly to the tables next to it and unfortunately the food tastes like fabric softener. Horror! Doesn't deserve a single star. Reply to the outrageous statement: Since I work in a managerial position at the public order office, I will consult my colleagues from the health department on Monday and also ask the tax office why you don't have any bills or why a restaurant even offers such "food" in such an unhygienic manner. may serve. The number of guests seems to suggest that you are above the health and legal regulations of this country. It's just stupid that you even refuse to give your guests a bill. Clear legal offenses that must be punished.

I can only recommend it, the food was absolutely delicious and also sufficient. The staff is totally attentive and super nice. The boss himself also helps out and is in an absolutely good mood. I've been there many times and I'll continue to eat there. I highly recommend it.
