Greek bonds may be risky but the food at the Griechishe Taverna is a decent bet…read more It's an old-world family experience from the moment you step through the drapes at the entrance. You feel like you're in a fisherman's living room. Wooden walls and kitsch abound. The 70's green tile in the bathroom sums it up. It's very small and it fills up on the weekends so call ahead. Griechische Taverna has an odd menu. There are as many appetizers as main dishes. I love appetizers, so that's not a bad thing. Nothing ever jumps out at me, screaming my name though when it comes to the main courses. For example: marinated lamb baked in paper with oven potatoes (no vegetables). It's just a little flat. The seafood menu has a few items like fried calamari with rice and vegetables. I think they would be well served to add a little description. The fried calamari, by the way, is just ok. A must try, however, is the seafood platter. It's supposed to be for 2 people but it would satiate a small crew. It's like 4 kinds of fish, pan-fried, a couple of shell-on prawns and some calamari with fresh lemon wedges. I like to pour some of their Greek olive oil all over it. The souvlaki with french fries and tzatziki also looked good. The appetizers are always appetizing. How can you go wrong with a Greek farmer salad - fresh tomato, onion, cucumber, olives and a good chunk of feta on top? The taramosalata (fish roe and potato dip) is delicious with pita. The saganaki, disappointingly, was not floured and fried. It was warmed feta over a chunky tomato olive ragu. It was good but not what I know as saganaki. Next time, I 'm going to try the halloumi, a grilled soft cheese, milder than feta. They have Mythos (Greek beer) and retsina (Greek white wine flavored with tree sap... ok, "pine resin"). Both delicious. You also get a shot of ouzo on the house as a warm Greek welcome. The service is top-notch due to the taverna's small size and that the owner is the main man. They're always nice and attentive. I would say the prices are reasonable (24 - 34 mains). I keep making my way back, because it's always a savory experience and quite authentic.

It's an easy going, cosy place at a moderate price and a nice change from the usual places on Seefeldstrasse with the fashionistas and braying expats. Food decent although not out of this world, simple and the sort of thing you would expect in a standard Greek taverna. I will be going back.
