Griechische Taverne Am Sachsengang — Restaurant in Gemeinde Groß-Enzersdorf

Went there on a weekday for lunch with my parents.

I first want to say we are not familiar with Greek cuisine, but this is a popular place in the area so my parents wanted to try it out.

We did not have a reservation and got a table inside, as it was quite windy the day we went, but the outside seating area was full.

All of us ended ordering from the lunch menu- we had Moussaka, grilled Salmon, and grilled hake filet. Service was very quick- we were offered an aperitif, but rejected it, since my parents don’t drink. We got our dishes after a short waiting time- portion size is decent- but the food was just ok. It was not bad at all, but not amazing either. We might have had a better experience ordering more typically greek dishes as this is a Greek restaurant.

My dad did not like the dressing on his side salad- he’s already quite old, and very particular with his food. The waiter was so kind to get my dad a new salad with olive oil and Balsamico vinegar on the side. As I said, we are not familiar with Greek cuisine, so did not know what dressing would be used for the salad (it contained honey and was quite sweet).

The interior was nice maybe a bit kitschy, but I enjoyed being there.

The only thing I thought was a bit unusual was, that when I asked for the wifi password our waiter asked for my phone to type in the password himself.

Overall- nice environment, fast service, extensive menu with a big variety of dishes. We will try other...

The place is always crowded, sign of appreciation by the locals. It is true that the variety of restaurants in Groß-Enzersdorf is not tremendous. The staff is very friendly, the food is ok and the location on the DOK (Donau Oder Kanal) is lovely. One thing though, it is impossible to distinguish by reading the Carte what is vegetarian from what is not. Unfortunately, the main "ingredient" of the dishes are often left in greek, not translated, only the accompanying ingredients are. So you may end up with meat or fish when you did not want it. The truth is vegetarian dishes are rare. And as it is crowded, the nice waiters or room supervisors are not so available. Small "V"s on the carte would help a bunch. (And they would not be legion, unfortunately) And beware, the Tsatsiki is with cucumber, without any previous notice. If you don't like cucumber, you will not like the tsatsiki, your last hope as vegetarian. Too bad... The restaurant could have deserved one...

Unfortunately, this is another disappointing restaurant experience in Vienna.

1. The prosecco was served flat. When I asked for a fresh glass, the second glass was also flat.
2. ordered the "grilled salmon," which was essentially deep fried, overcooked, and dry.
3. The waiter and chef didn't really care, which basically is the same kind of service in most Viennese restaurants. My advice as a cook is to not go into the service industry if you don't care about service. Don't become a chef if you don't know or care about how to prepare and cook food. In my experience, it's not the ingredients that are the problem. it's the unexperienced, and lack of regard how these dishes need to be cooked and served to...
