Restaurant Plaka - Burscheid

We came here recently for a birthday celebration. We had booked a table for 5 persons in advance and once we eventually found parking (not so easy) we were warmly received and guided to our table in a corner spot. The menu here is extensive...and varied. As we were trawling through all the choices we were presented with little glasses of ouzo on the house. What a nice gesture. All three generations in our family found something to their taste and we were all delighted with the authenticity and quality of the Greek food. I went for the octopus which was excellent. Once they were told that one of us was celebrating a birthday they brought out a dessert with a candle and sparkler and the older lady even sang Happy Birthday in Greek. It brought back memories from a time when we used to live in this wonderful country. Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ

This restaurant has a great mix of good location, ambient atmosphere, friendly and efficient service delivering good quality, and quantity, Greek food from a notably large menu. Very enjoyable evening. I love the discussion when a group of 6 are given 6 glasses of complementary...Ouzo as an aperitif, not all want one and negotiations start on who is getting more!!Well worth a visit make a reservation.

Armed with a gift voucher for this Greek restaurant we booked a few days earlier for a table for our party of 4 adults, a teenager and 2 year old. On arrival and difficult maneuvering in the small, free car park we were warmly greeted...and seated at a nice table for 6. A child's high chair arrived a little later. The drinks order was taken quickly. The adults also received a welcome free glass of ouzo which was a nice touch. The menu is extensive, authentically Greek and the prices are all reasonable. I chose the sardines (actually small fried fish on a bed of salad) followed by the lamb shank cooked with large broad beans. This came straight out of the oven and was piping hot. It was served with a salad. The other members of our family party also enjoyed their food particularly the thin cut fried potatoes which were crunchy on the outside and still soft on the inside. Throughout our meal our two year old got increasingly restless and wanted to explore the place a bit. Typical of the Greek culture we learned to love when we lived in Athens, the staff took to her as if she was one of their family and helped to keep her entertained. We passed on the desserts as we were all too full after the main courses. At the end of the evening we all agreed that the food and Greek atmosphere here is really lovely. What we missed a bit was the proactive service from the waiters we would have liked to have been asked whether we wanted more to drink throughout the meal and whether we would like dessert or after dinner coffee...

My man and I celebrated my birthday yesterday and it was super delicious. very nice staff. we were there the first time and with certainty not the last time. Today again with mama tried to eat something else up again.

Highly recommended. from service to selection of food to quality! my partner and I like to come back, there are so many delicious sounding dishes to discover!
