The probably most filled greek restaurant in the humble town of Vienna…read more
Curious, what this hubbub was all about, I invited my family to this restaurant, where the statues and the interior made me wonder for a glimpse of a moment, how i would feel as a waiter.. trying to dodge all those statues in the walking lane though they carry a lot to the ambiente.
A friend of mine, brought me to this glorious idea to always order a lemon sparkly water in every restaurant... to see how they measure quality even in the smallest detail(also it is delicious as hell if done right). It seems like nitpicking, but if the lemon used in the sparkly water is out of a bought bottle and not squeezed out of a lemon... one starts to automatically question other things as well.
To my disappointment, the lemon sparkly water was out of a bottle and a lonely lemon slice was swimming in this chemically tasting fluid.
Against my better knowledge, I ordered the fishplate called the "portals to hades" for the good price of 17,50.. not that I was expecting the restaurant to be bad in preparing the meals... but that Austria in general does not offer too many high quality fish suppliers.
The food was ok... the prawn and calamari had the classic imported quality, with a hint of mealyness and the fish with the side dishes were good... though i expected a filet to be without fishbones.
Maybe this is how greek food should taste like... maybe i was biased by that chemical lemon sparkly water... but I was not overwhelmed by that experience.
The greek coffee I ordered afterward was quite tasty. And the service was friendly but seemed to be a bit out of concept and chaotic.
Looks like I need to take a trip to Greece to get to know their cuisine... until then...
