About Restaurant Athen
On Briener Str. 2 in Kleve, Restaurant Athen serves a Greek menu of 38 dishes, from salads such as Kreta-Salat and Griechischer Bauernsalat "Spezial" to a Fetakäse mit Krautsalat plate. Mains arrive with rice or fries and a side salad, and portions run large enough for leftovers. A mushroom starter in white wine and garlic sauce sits alongside the salad list, and gyros is a recurring order. Greek coffee, cocktails, and an Aperol spritz round out the drinks. Dogs are welcome in the restaurant. It opens Tuesday to Sunday and stays closed on Mondays. Parking is available on site.

Customer Review Summary
Large, generous portions come up again and again, with several diners noting there's often enough left for a second meal at home. Close behind, the gyros draw specific praise, one family mentioning the kids enjoyed it, and the cocktails stand out too, with an Aperol spritz singled out as better than versions tried elsewhere; one reviewer also highlights a mushroom starter in white wine and garlic sauce as an unusual find for a Greek menu. Greek coffee gets a nod as a nice finishing touch. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and caring, and service holds up even when busy, according to one account. The atmosphere is described as cozy and calm, though one reviewer felt it leaned toward an "old people's place" feeling due to the crowd rather than the decor, and another mentioned a brief meat smell on entry that wasn't bothersome. Multiple reviewers say they'd return, and several call the value strong for the portion size.

“🇬🇷 Review for Restaurant Athen – Kleve 🟦I had a truly wonderful experience at Restaurant Athen in Kleve. From the very first moment, the staff impressed me with their warmth and genuine friendliness – they really make you feel welcome. The food was outstanding: fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients. I also had the chance to enjoy their authentic Greek coffee, which was a real delight and gave the meal a perfect finishing touch. The atmosphere of the restaurant is calm, relaxing, and positive – the kind of place where you can truly unwind and enjoy your time. I highly recommend Restaurant Athen to anyone looking for delicious food and a pleasant dining experience. You got the 5⭐”

“Nice, cozy greek restaurant with a nice atmosphere... but a bit of an "old people's place" feeling. Not the type of customers... it's the place itself. …”
