Voliotiko Tsipouradiko — Restaurant in Athens

You will have a different experience every time....negative or positive depends on the people working there and their mood. We've been here before and only decided to eat here because we love the outdoor eating area filled with trees, special lighting, some cute stray cats running around but also because their food is actually good for a tourist restaurant. Whoever made my grilled veggies deserves a raise. But!!! This time, before our food arrived it started to rain. Everyone left while the servers quickly turned off the only source of heat, the heat lamps (and I specifically told the waiter that I wanted a table next to heat). It's still winter. But....we continued to make the best of our dinner and ate in the rain...also because at this point they wouldn't give us a table inside. By the time we were finished we were wet and cold but we didn't complain. We paid, left a small tip, the waiter apologised and we walked out. I noticed that one table for 2 was being cleaned inside their restaurant and asked if we could come in for a glass of wine and stay for 10 minutes to warm up. I also mentioned that we had just ate at their outdoor restaurant. We were denied entry because we were not ordering dinner. Seriously? Fine. We're staying in a hotel next to their restaurant for the next 3 nights. Will we continue to support them? I don't think so, even though their cook did a great job with my grilled veggies. If you go here you will never know what kind of experience you will have. I give them 2 stars. One for the effort of ambiance and one for some of the efforts of their cooks and servers. I would have given more but it only took one doorman at their indoor restaurant to sour the entire experience. Athens has many, many places for people to choose from, a lot of competition. I will not support businesses that only care about money and nothing about their customers. And to the doorman: we went to a different restaurant that offered us an indoor seat and we had a great evening. They got our money and when we were walking back to our hotel we noticed that table was still empty in...

No! No! No! Do Not Eat here please!! Tourist trap!!! So my husband and I went for our anniversary. Being I'm an Athens born Greek American, i wanted to come back home for a much needed trip. The waiter was very unpleasant. He was upset bc we asked to order our appetizers and drinks first before we decided on our food, but we looked past that and continued. Our appetizers were semi warm but we didn't complain. We ordered our meals... my husband ordered the tbone steak... we got pork. I asked to change it as we asked for tbone steak. The waiter said it is beef not pork. Okay guys. I know what a beef steak is vs a pork steak. I asked again if it was pork bc it was not only raw, but a light color like pork. I know we are in Greece, but it was clearly pork. We've been here for a week now and have had pork, chicken, lamb, beef steak and ground beef which was brown. He argued with me then the manager said you don't know what you ordered so I will not remake for you. I kept looking at and pointed to him to look at it. He said no pork, steak. I said sir this is a pork steak what are you looking at. I'm sorry guys, but pork turns white when it's cooked. Steak does not... a raw steak would have been bloody and most definitely would not have been white!!!!!!! I said sir you are trying to kill us with raw pork. He said no you ordered wrong so it is not my problem. I said sir, look at the meat... it is a soft fleshy pink inside not red. Raw steak would be red and some blood. I mean this was raw raw!!! As a Greek woman myself please...

AVOID THIS PLACE. IT IS LIKE A TOURIST TRAP.

We were browsing around the area and we were kinda hungry. The man at the entrance approached us and he was actually very friendly, nothing to say about that.

We seated and after a while ordered from the menu. It all looked good. The atmosphere is cute.

Let's talk about the "food" we ordered some fries (good...yes...who can't make fries). Me and a friend ordered 2 Moussaka and my other friend a piece of veal with fries.

The Moussaka looked legit..i tried it and....SUPER COLD, SUPER TASTELESS. We both had 2 bites and then asked to warm it up, we then received it back and it was warm but honestly....so disappointing. I felt like i was eating something made with leftovers from days. YES,it was that bad.

I was shocked. My friend too. I was going to throw up right there but I drank water and kept calm. I vomited on the bus and even feeling very bad after 2 hours.

My friend who got the veal told me that it was like eating tasteless pieces of frozen meat kept into the freezer years.

AWFUL.

The food here is other than horrible even dangerous for your health.

Customer Service is not on point either...we asked for separate bills and the waiter screamed at me telling "NO YOU CANNOT".. I walked to the manager and explained the situation and he let us pay separately.

Gently we said "Thank you" and left.

I was shocked. The worst experience in Athens so far and I went to places here... you can check my reviews.. This place is a SCAM and I'm still...
