Restaurant Athos - Schwanewede

During May and June, 2013 we stayed in Schwanewede about 1 block away from this restaurant. The restaurant is a few blocks southwest of the town center in a residential neighborhood. We noticed that it was always packed judging by the number of cars in the lot, so we decided to try it. During our stay we went back 6 times. Every time we were warmly greated even though we don't speak German very well. The food is absolutely the best Mediterranean & Greek food we have every had and the service was always spectacular, friendly and prompt. At this restaurant it is a tradition that all receive a cold glass of ozzo shortly after being seated. This ozzo turns white from being icy cold and is the best I've ever tasted. We would go back just for the ozzo. We learned that much of their food & drink is flown in from Greece from where the owner's have immigrated. It is a family run business. Maria, a daughter of the owners, waited on us most of the time. She could speak English very well and helped us understand the menu items. Her recommendations regarding the fish were always a great choice. There is booth style & table indoor seating and casual seating out back on the deck & garden area. No matter how packed we thought the restaurant appeared we were always able to find a nice place to sit. The outdoor seating is particularily fun. Each time we were seated on this covered patio a group of local patrons would send us a drink, ask us to come visit their table or waive to us. We met the owner's family including several uncles, sons and the grand mother. When they learned we were in need of a taxi to the Bremen train station Maria insisted to drive us herself. We have never see such a caring staff, gracious owner's, and outstanding food at a reasonable price.

Zeche: 62,70 € general: I just try to tell me what drove us to schwanewede in the athos. they were the good reviews on other superficial platforms. the statement of semigourmet in pre-criticism on rk that at least eating is a good service bad, I unfortunately cannot confirm. more black, the wide paths can continue to plentifully populate the athos as on Saturday night, we will not enter a second time on the trip. the athos offers a start page, unfortunately without a look at the menu [her Link] . I see the price-performance ratio at three stars. after several Greek kritiken in bremen I decided to rank. it is based on RK reviews. here it is weighted with my evaluation intermediate, eat twice, plv simple, with the same number of points will be awarded a number of times: 1. orpheas, burg grambke: 4,17 2. kalymnos, burg grambke: 4 3. meos, lehesterdeich: 3,83 3. poseidon, gröpelingen: 3,83 3. symposio, neustadt: 3,83 4. katerini, ferry lobbendorf: 3,67 5. olympia, grohn: 3,58 6. ifestos, ferry lobbendorf: 3.5 6. irodion, ferry lobbendorf, 3.5 7. parthenon ii, gröpelingen, 3,33 7. artemis, lüdonthal 8. taverna akropolis, ferry lobbendorf: 3,17 11. kiriaki, less: 3 11. kreta, ohz: 3 11. athos, schwanewede: 3 service: actually it was good. a lousy commentary on the recipe and a very quick drink service from a friendly young man made a good impression. there are six mostly younger operators and the host with a controlled view. as so often after the plentiful starter selection we have made a break to the main dishes. this was not contradictory, but unfortunately also not offered to order the main dishes in the kitchen only on our request. we had just finished our appetizers and sat in front of six empty plates and plates when a servant came with the main dishes. we refused the acceptance. then we have the feeling of being punished with ignorance. No one, even not the host who led our table several times, made a facility to clean up and ask for another drink request. I had to pick up an operator and ask for cleaning and bring more drinks. soon after the main courts. as I noticed after a bite of gyros, it was eating that was taken back, now only lukewarm. a cheerful attempt as I said to the host. he quickly cleaned up, promised a fresh preparation and brought a soothing ozo. our appreciable determination led to a crisis intervention by the host. drink prices mixed: a pils 0.3 l is available for moderate €2.30, the bottle mineral water 0.75 l comes to kulante 4.50 €. the few open weine on the map begin for the quarter at 4,20 € red or for the bottle 0.5 l malamatina the 3rd 8,80 € for comparison calculated: symposio bremen neustadt: 7,10 € . from the house there is a ouzo to greet and bill. foods: we chose gigantes 4,50 €, feta with double 4,80 €, calamaressalat 5,90 € and grilled pepperoni with garlic sauce 4,10 €. only buzz in seasoned tomato sauce. the Calamarese piece with the typical dose taste, the rather small number of pepperoni was served with a thick striped industrial cocktail sauce with a touch of garlic and the feta was again one of the softer and tasty sorts in which I always fluctuate, whether I can taste cream cheese or whether I can taste cream in the card despite the express name. the grill plates were covered once with leber and gyros leonidas, 10,80 € and gyros, souvlaki, kefte frikadelle, odysseus, 12,50 €. carry the very thinly cut leber and the chopped. the souvlaki shallow from cut and dry; the gyros fresh and slender, but unfortunately faded and served without as already recognized by semigourmet and accused tsatsiki. in addition, the usual rice and a proper crimp salad. the portion is good. the heights of the holy mountain did not reach the food and remained in the plain at three stars. ambiente: the athos is not a typical blue, white greek from color and decoration. only a few figures, displayed columns and musical sound offer the folklore. dark wood tones, white-lined masonry and warm wall and ceiling colours give the impression. we counted a total of four areas where many guests find space. the main room in front of the tress is well divided and one sits on naked, dark niche tables, which are sufficiently dimensioned, also the running paths are rectangular. the benches covered with artificial leather. after darkness we felt it as dark, because the spots embedded in the elaborately designed cover are not suitable for lighting and give only little light to the tables. the quality of the stay is good. a terrace is provided for the warm season. the toilets are spacious and fresh. cleanliness: in order.

Zeche: €62.70 General: I'm just trying to explain what drove us to Schwanewede into Athos. It was the good reviews on other superficial platforms. The statement of semigourmet in the pre-criticism on RK that at least the food is good service is bad, I unfortunately cannot confirm. Schwaneweder, who are shying wide paths, may continue to plentifully populate the Athos as on Saturday night, we will not embark on the trip a second time. The Athos offers a homepage, unfortunately without an insight into the menu [here link] . I see the price performance ratio at three stars. After several Greek critiques in Bremen, I decided to form a ranking. It is based on RK reviews. Here it is weighted with my evaluation intermediate stages, food twice, PLV simply, with the same number of points a rank is awarded several times : 1. Orpheas, Burg Grambke: 4,17 2. Kalymnos, Burg Grambke: 4 3. Meos, Lehesterdeich: 3,83 3. Poseidon, Gröpelingen: 3,83 3. Symposio, Neustadt: 3,83 4. Katerini, ferry Lobbendorf: 3,67 5. Olympia, Grohn: 3,58 6. Ifestos, Ferry Lobbendorf: 3.5 6. Irodion, Ferry Lobbendorf, 3.5 7. Parthenon II, Gröpelingen, 3,33 7. Artemis, Lüssum Bockhorn: 3.33 8. Poseidon Blumenthal 3,33 9. Sparta, Lesum: 3.25 9. Taverna Saloniki, Neustadt: 3,25 10. Akropolis, ferry Lobbendorf: 3,17 11. Kiriaki, Lesum: 3 11. Crete, OHZ: 3 11. Athos, Schwanewede: 3 Service: Actually it was going well. A lousy comment at the reception and a very fast beverage service by a friendly young man made a good impression. There are counted six mostly younger operators and the host with a controlling view. As so often, we asked to take a break to the main dishes after the plentiful starter selection. This was not contradicted, but unfortunately also not offered to order the main dishes in the kitchen only upon our request. We had just finished our appetizer and sat in front of six empty plates and plates when an operator came with the main dishes. We refused acceptance. Then we got the feeling of being punished with ignoring. No one, even not the host passing our table several times, made an institution to clean up and ask for another drink request. I had to pick up an operator and ask to clean up and bring more drinks. Quickly afterwards the main dishes. As I noticed after a bite of Gyros, it was the food that was taken back, now only lukewarm. A cheerful attempt, as I said to the host. He quickly cleared himself, promised a fresh preparation and brought a soothing ozo. So our noticeable determination led to a crisis intervention by the host. Nevertheless, only three stars for work at the table. Beverage prices mixed: A Pils 0.3 l is available for moderate €2.30, the bottle of mineral water 0.75 l comes to kulante €4.50. The few open wines on the map start for the quarter at 4,20 € red or For the bottle 0.5 l of Malamatina, the 3rd 8,80 € is calculated for comparison: Symposio Bremen Neustadt: 7,10 € . From the house there is an ouzo for greeting and for billing. Food: We chose Gigantes 4,50 €, feta with onions 4,80 €, Calamaressalat 5,90 € and grilled Pepperoni with garlic sauce 4,10 €. Just beans in seasoned tomato sauce. The Calamarese piece with the typical can taste, the rather small number of Pepperoni was served with a thick strip of industrial cocktail sauce with a hint of garlic and the feta was once again one of the softer and taste-poor variety, in which I always fluctuate, whether I can taste sheep cheese or whether I can taste cow cheese in the card despite the express name Feta. The grill plates were once covered with liver and Gyros Leonidas, €10.80 and Gyros, Souvlaki, Kefte Frikadelle, Odysseus, €12.50. Apply the very thinly cut liver and the chopped. The Souvlaki shallow from cut and dry; the Gyros fresh and lean, but unfortunately faded and without as already detected by semigourmet and accused Tsatsiki served. In addition, the usual rice and a proper herb salad. The portion sizes well. The heights of the Holy Mountain did not reach the food and remained in the plain at three stars. Ambiance: The Athos is not a typical blue white Greek from colour and decoration. Only a few figures, indicated columns and music sounding provide the folklore. Dark wood tones, white scented masonry and warm wall and ceiling colours give the impression. We counted a total of four areas where many guests find room. The main space in front of the tress is well divided and one sits on bare, dark niche tables, which are sufficiently dimensioned, also the running paths are rectangled. The benches covered with artificial leather. After dark we felt it as dark, because the spots embedded in the elaborately designed ceiling are not suitable for illumination and give only little light at the tables. The quality of stay is good. A terrace is provided for the warm season. The toilets are spacious and fresh. Cleanliness: All right.

In May and June 2013 we were about 1 block from this restaurant in Schwanewede. The restaurant is a few blocks southwest of the city centre in a residential area. We noticed that it is always full of verdicts by the number of cars in... the lot, so we decided to try. During our stay we went back six times. Every time we were warm, even though we don't speak very well German. The food is absolutely the best Mediterranean Greek food we all had and the service was always spectacular, friendly and prompt. In this restaurant it is a tradition that all get a cold glass of ouncezo shortly after sitting. This Ozzo becomes white of icy cold and is the best I ever tasted. We just wanted to go back for the ouncezo. We have learned that a large part of their food drink is fed from Greece, from where the owner is immigrated. It's a family business. Maria, a daughter of the owners, waited for us most of the time. She could speak English very well and help us understand the menu items. Their recommendations for the fish were always a good choice. There is a table with seating and casual seating on the garden deck. No matter how packed we thought that the restaurant appeared, we were always able to find a nice place to sit. The outside seat is particularly funny. Every time we sat on this covered terrace, a group of local girls would send us a drink, ask us to visit their table or give us up. We met the owner's family, including several uncles, sons and the great mother. When they learned, we needed a taxi to the Bremen station Maria to drive ourselves. We have never seen such nurses, gracious owners and excellent food at a reasonable price.
