Taverna Anti — Restaurant in Munich

I never leave reviews but this time I have to share the experience.

The food is nothing special, a bit expensive for the quality and portion, but still acceptable.

The service, however, is unfriendly and incredibly unprofessional.

When we received the bill, the waiter told us it would be preferred to pay in cash. When we replied we only had card, he called what I assume was the owner or manager. He told us it was only possible to pay in cash. When we reiterated we only had card, he left. He then went back to the bar area, grabbed the card reader, and hid it on a shelf behind the bar. He then came back to our table and repeated that card payment wasn’t possible. I asked him if it wasn’t possible because card wasn’t accepted or because the card reader wasn’t working, since I saw him grab it a few seconds before. Realizing I had seen him try to hide the card reader, he suddenly decided paying with card was actually possible after all..

I know that a lot of places in Germany card isn’t taken, but normally this is communicated clearly on the menu or with signs at the door. This spiel made me feel uneasy and made fun...

Update 07.09.24: It's obvious that inflation also hit Anti in the meantime. When ordering "Artischockenherzen im Speckmantel" two of the four artichoke hearts have a bacon wrapped around, and two did not have it...?! Are you kidding me? Or, when ordering "Halloumi", three tiny slices are served. In 2023, there were 5 pieces! Guys, that's not funny anymore! After more than 30 years of visiting Anti, I have to think about it because the path you follow definitely upsets customers!

Anti in Jahnstraße located in the Glockenbachviertel is since decades a trusted and hospitable Greek restaurant, which luckily survived many changes in this trendy quarter in Munich. From typical Greek dishes to fish and seafood, you find authentic Greek food her. Most of the guests are locals, which makes Anti a relaxed place, to end a stressy day or to experience Greek hospitality. The staff is very friendly and knows how to treat guests. I have known this location for more than 20 years now and I still can...

not the best for a place that should be full of friendly staff. overpriced dishes for what they offer. For example, BRIAM is offered in a normal dinner plate, with some overcooked vegetables in a sea of oil without much flavor, without other seasoning or feta for only 14 euros. Other places in Munich bring a steaming pottery with vegetables sizzling and feta on top. Not here...don´t expect too much kindness if you point out that the cost is disproportionate. At the end of dinner finding us unhappy with the service, we were offered a small plate of dessert with Yogurt.... but…. much, too much $$ for what you eat....
