Restaurant Athen - Menu

"General: Again in Dresden and it is very warm on a June evening. The accompanying culinary summer feelings demanded a Greek. A handful of Greeks that I have been through in Dresden and a satisfactory basic nutrition was always there, see Atlantis, Acheron, Artemis, Irodion, Lukullus . On the list was Athens in Tolkewitz opposite the historical Johannisfriedhof. A little outside, but with two trams from downtown you can reach in 20 minutes. After 18:00 there were only some tables in the restaurant; the large terrace remained unused due to the risk of thunderstorms in the evening. At 7:00 p.m. the big restaurant had filled up well. Couples, groups of colleagues and families I have built up. Most likely from the surrounding area and regular guests who experienced the increasingly personal and warm welcomes. The current price map takes place on the homepage of Athens and some photos show the interior and exterior of the restaurant. I see the price-performance ratio with good four stars. Service: A neat troop of Greek potters and waiters, supplemented with a young woman, took care of the guests at the table. Uniform in turquoise polo shirts with restaurant logo and black trousers. A little later, the host entered the field. He had escaped from the uniform and appeared in the black T-shirt and the uniform hairstyle that is missing today in Turkish hairdressers. But he tried for the crowd and welcomed. Respect me for an old, strange white man, regular guests with handshake and more. Later he was served useful and sometimes. The actual service brigade worked flott and there was a good mood. My drinks immediately came to the table and also the appetizers after ten minutes. Unfortunately it went so fast with the main court. The tribal group on the neighboring table also suffered this fate. It seems bad in Athens. Esel is in Athens: For welcome and with the bill there is a cold ouzo from the host. Three stars fulfill the service. Beer prices are very popular: The Dresdener Feldschlößchen is only € 2.60 for 0.4 l! € 1.95 for my reference amount 0.3 l. This shows the undamaged price policy of several hosts in my home region who have gone with 0.3 l towards 3.00 € or have already broken through this sound wall. The bottle of water 0.75 l comes to 4.65 € and the open Greek standard wines are offered for 3.80 € 0.2 l. My retsina was cool, but not cold the Greeks do not descend or the bottle cooling in the typical extracts under the pot area creates nothing less than 10 degrees. The card forms all standards of Meze, Grill, Pan and Furnace. Here too the award is remarkable: The mixing plates with Gyros are under 11,00 € an exception, comes immediately and the mixed grill plates are all below 13,00 €. But once before, Boujourdi € 6.70. After the map baked feta cheese with red peppers, tomatoes and olives in olive oil with oregano. From oregano no trace, but the sheep cheese was cheesey and slightly creamy, without being melted. Add pieces of black olives and vegetables. Simple but good with two slices of a classic, fresh box of white bread. Then the “cheer” gyro maker €12,30 with the name gyros, a small souvlakis shoot and an attractive pork steak with feta. As supplements large frits and rice and before a small supplement salad with industrial dressing. The portion size was opulent in view of the price. The taste experience mixed: Souvlaki thick cut, mürbe in bite and very successful with clear oregano touch. The pig steak with the good sheep cheese had a strong inner companion. The gyro was fresh and well stored and cut, but unfortunately absolutely faulty. Incomprehensible given the good seasoning mixes for this classic lathe. With 3.5 stars the kitchen of Athens comes well satisfactorily through the finish. Ambience: The Athens is housed in a playful old building Eckhaus. On the left and right side of the entrance you will find the generous free places that are separated from the Trottoir by book and life tree. Inside Athens is a large restaurant. In addition to the main room with Theke there are two rooms. The spatial generosity continues and between the tables. These are partially seized by high benches and a certain nishness arises. It dominates dark and bright wood colors and the decorative elements are limited to wood panels and small walls. For a Greek, Purist and Strenge. The turquoise blue of the polo shirts is recorded by indirect ceiling exposure. Otherwise, you will understand the Greek drum music that has been moved by the swelling communication urge of the guests and the communication joy of the servicemen. The tile space for the gentlemen must have been completely renovated in recent years. Good hygiene standard and clean. Cleanliness: Athens makes a very well maintained impression."
