Restaurant Athen - Reserva de mesa

My husband and I first visited this restaurant a good few years ago and since then Laufenburg has meant to us nice memories of good Greek food. This restaurant used to be on the German side of the Swiss border post at Laufenburg which was a cute crossing over the river into Switzerland. We finally returned and found that the border post had been moved but the bridge over to Switzerland is still there and available for walkers or cyclists. This means that from the Swiss side one can park and walk over the river to enjoy German prices! We shared a starter, had a main course each and 5 drinks which came to €45 which is very good if you compare to Swiss prices. So, no passports needed if you are...

The food is normally very good, but the atmosphere sings, always. The place offers a prime location and drips with antiquities and authentically combines old Germany with a decidedly Greek culturally obvious infusion. The best dishes are the combos, though, the lamb cutlets, though tasty, are sometimes too dry. The gyros are also hit-and-miss and can be dry, unfortunately. The salads are excellent and very fresh. What is startling is that pita bread has to be requested, and is on the odd side. Normally, one would expect to use the pita to stuff the gyros, etc. Nevertheless, the charming service and atmosphere is transformative. Highly recommended and good value.

We went to the restaurant from the comment on tripadvisor. My personal opinion about this restaurant is overpriced for the quantity, service and taste of the food. We had better greek food before and here we would say, it still did not reach our expectation. We would not compare to original food in Greece from our experience as no Greek restuatant in Germany can compare to original Greek food in Greece. Plus point from this restaurant is the view that you can see direct to the bridge in Laufenburg, which is really a nice view in a Sunny day.

When you cross the Bridge you can smell the delicious Greek food and insantly feel like you just arrived somewhere in Greece. The servers are friendly, the portions are a good size and value. The herbs and spices used remind me a lot of my visits to Krete. If you are lucky enough to be there on a sunny day you can sit ouside along the Rhein. Really relaxing and enjoyable. You might also be lucky enough to receive the customary free Ouzo at the end of the meal. If you like Greek quisine give it a try... Reserva una mesa ahora

What a delight. We decided to explore the village(s) of Laufenburg on either side of the Rhine (part in Germany, part Switzerland), and had a wonderful walk around exploring the lovely lanes, old architecture and little shops, but when we got hungry we had a wonderfully authentic Greek meal at Restaurant Athen just over the bridge on the German side. Once you cross the beautiful bridge (closed to cars), turn left and the restaurant is right there... oh, those Souvlaki !

Being a frequent guest in this restaurant, you get what you expect. Good greek food for a decent price. In summer you can sit outside,the service is always nice and friendly, the greek hospitality is celebrated. If you want a wow, this is not the best place, but for delicious greek food, you will not find a better place in Laufenburg

I have to say that we loved everything about Laufenburg including this nice place along the river. If its a warm evening its very nice to eat outside, but it was too windy so we enjoied our meals inside. The food was really good!

The waiters were bit stressed and in a hurry, not pleasant impression when the first time in the restaurant. Mix green salad very poor and dishes tasteful but nothing impressive at all. Reserva una mesa ahora

Super fresh salads, excellent wine list. Service really good and prices make you smile. Reserve well ahead unless weather allows you to dine by Rhine.
