DANGER! Not to be confused with the Athos in Waldbröl! Because we made the mistake!We had raved to our friends about the Athos in Waldbröl, which is now closed, so as we knew we went to the old post office on the Athos. Important: neither the staff nor anything else is reminiscent of the Athos in Waldbröl; in short; If you expect the level of service and taste - stay away from there! Find another Greek restaurant!!!!Interesting evening and in almost 40 years of life, I have never had such experiences as there.We were there at 5:00 p.m. when it opened and sat comfortably outside, 4 adults, 1 child, 1 toddler. Of course the order is slightly larger. My friends had the rump steak with cream sauce once and gyros pan twice. Once without onions and once without tomatoes, please. Around 6:15 p.m. we noticed that card payments weren't possible, so my colleague drove off to the bank. At this time the waitress came and announced that there was no cream sauce. We explained to her hand and foot that herb butter was also okay. I would like to note that it was only an hour later that we noticed that there was no cream sauce... well, we weren't under any time pressure. But hungry! Finally, around 7 p.m., the food arrived, yay and, huh?!When the order came, we noticed that the onions were gone, but the tomatoes remained, well, before the whole meal had to go back, we overlooked that, and finally there were fries and a spoonful of Djuvec rice... that Rice was inedible, it was covered in cumin and tasted like a baby laxative. I ordered a baked feta cheese and additional tzatziki. My wife only ordered the ice cream with the lava cake.I just noted that we received bread with the gyro pan, but none with the feta cheese or tzatziki; so we got 2x bread again. €6.50 each... the “side dish” tzatziki cost €7.50, without saying a word about it being charged extra. It wasn't edible either because it was yesterday's bread, that is, as it stands. Dry hard edges, interior was also “dry”. The bread in front of it, which we got as a side dish to the main course, was edible.Why am I going into such detail about what we ordered?The total bill was €121.90!!!!!!! 2 Cola, 3 Spezi, 1 water.I was shocked and surprised at the same time. Of course we paid and gave a tip. Last but not least, they didn't even say thank you and asked if the food was tasty; or wished you a nice evening and the obligatory ouzo to say goodbye was also missed (not an ultimatum, but a "nice to have" as a thank you)... I understand that communication is difficult and service is often under-overestimated, But it is part of decency and respect to at least say thank you and wish you a nice evening.The service was more or less overwhelmed, spoke very, very bad German and only understood numbers instead of requests or suggestions (I mean, there are also allergies to certain foods). There was no pepper or salt on the table, it wasn't when asked possible to get a pepper or salt shaker.Conclusion: once and never again, thank you for the experience. Location great, great walks possible around it, atmosphere very nice, a bit dangerous to sit on the corner for the car drivers, but otherwise sitting outside was just great on a mild summer evening! It's wonderful there to hold a red wine / white wine meeting, but we won't be coming back for dinner.

Good day,Unfortunately I can't judge the rooms.But when it comes to the food, I have to say that the price/performance ratio just doesn't fit and I can't understand the positive reviews. Sometimes the waitress couldn't understand us when we ordered.The food itself was okay, but that doesn't justify the price. I've eaten better at a Greek fast food joint for half the price.Finally, you have to say that if you already have prices in the higher category, then you should also be able to allow customers to pay by card.Personally, we won't be coming back.

We spontaneously ate there with 3 people during the week because we wanted to see if we could go there more often after the change in ownership.So getting a table wasn't a problem, of course I don't know what it will look like on the weekend.Unfortunately, the service was still a bit slow. But okay, it will probably get better with time 😉The food was really very tasty. Personally, I really enjoyed the tzatziki. Gyros, souflaki and fries were also tasty and filling. The rest was packed up to take away without any problems.What was missing was the ouzo, which wasn't offered at all. I don't know that.My conclusion: we would love to eat there again.The service was friendly. A little tip: Pay more attention to whether new guests are coming in the outdoor area so that they don't have to wait long. And feel free to ask every now and then whether you are satisfied or would like something more to drink. There is still something wrong with that. We would like it not to fail later. See you next time.

Rating applies to food only.The food was good, but the service wasn't that good, we were barely understood and we had to wait a long time. Unfortunately, overall the price/performance ratio wasn't right.

On March 1st, 2024 we received confirmation of the booking for July 12th, 2024.When we arrived there was no room available and we had to book another hotel at a much higher price!From €315.00 for 3 nights to €499.20 for 3 nights!That’s an additional cost of €184.20!This is not acceptable!

I celebrated my birthday there and can also highly recommend a celebration there! My guests were also very impressed with the quality of the food, the portions were very large and the service was very good. Our well-being was taken care of 😉. I wish the team continued success and would be happy to come back as an individual guest. My highlight was the braised leg of lamb, but the pork is also great, not fatty and very well seasoned!!

Food was good, gyros were excellent, liver was unfortunately too tough.Pork steak good, pork skewer also ok. With rice and salad (Prevesa plate €20.90)Athens plate also good (15.50€)Fried feta a little too expensive (10.90 €)But everyone experiences it differently, portions are definitely very good. 👍👍
