ZORBA LE GREC — Restaurant in Paris

The food was okay, but the portions were very small compared to the prices. The tables were placed too close to each other, leaving little room to move, and combined with the cold temperature inside, the experience was far from pleasant. Paying €18 for gyros felt unreasonable, especially when there’s another restaurant just five minutes away offering generous portions and great taste at a third of the price. It really felt like a tourist trap.

The decor didn’t help either—random pictures of Greek artists and writers that seemed unrelated to the restaurant's theme. Why not use photos of Athens, Thessaloniki, or the islands to create a more authentic vibe? It just didn’t make sense.

And the bread... it was clearly stale, likely two days old, poorly disguised by roasting it. Honestly, they could have just bought a fresh baguette from a nearby shop for a fraction of the effort.

On a positive note, the owner and waitress were very friendly, which was the only saving grace.

Unfortunately, I wouldn’t visit again and can’t recommend it unless you’re completely out of...

We visited Zorba le Grec based on the numerous positive reviews but were left disappointed. The food was okay, but it didn’t meet the standard of other Greek restaurants we’ve tried. Unfortunately, the service also fell short.

In particular, the lady owner was quite impolite, especially when we requested a proper receipt at the end of our meal. While we understand that smaller establishments might face limitations, a little consideration for the customer would have gone a long way. Instead of apologizing for the issue, she reacted unprofessionally and stared at us loudly, which felt odd and inappropriate for a restaurant owner. Respect for customers should be a priority.

Bottom line: If you’re looking for a simple, no-frills Greek restaurant with basic food and unremarkable service, this might be the...

Horrible horrible place, avoid at all costs. Bad food and even worse service. We booked with an app but we were pretty much forced to order more things. They literally told us we had to order more entrees and desserts and we had no other options. They kept coming to bug us until we ordered more. Never had that happened at any restaurants before in my life. They seemed nice but it was actually the most unpleasant dining experience I’ve had in paris since I moved here. Also very unfriendly to English speaking people and tourists. Most of all, food was extremely expensive while being very mediocre and small in portion. Please do not come here, very...
