Bacchus - Hannover

We went there on a recommendation – big mistake, always do your own research first and never trust a friend of a friend.It was a poorly run, shabby Greek restaurant that the owner was trying to run on his own. He was a nice chap, very agreeable but there was no-one else serving drinks or waiting on tables (or clearing them) so as a consequence, service was slow ... painfully slow and we had to keep leaving the table to go find him.We also had to contend with a couple of families sitting next to and adjacent to our party of six. The kids were infants and one baby who were running riot and being very noisy and disruptive. The owner was clearly sympathetic at our displeasure, but took no action what so ever other than to shrug his shoulders. Why no family area?The restaurant is located down a side street in the middle of town not far from the red light area. The decor was very dated and the venue did not feel warm or welcoming, there was no music - just loud screaming kids and the thunder from their feet running about on the wooden floor.The food was ‘okay’ at best but nothing inspiring and the portions weren’t exactly grand either. We asked for a couple of Apfelkorns at the end of the meal to be told that this was a Greek restaurant and they didn’t sell such things. So that was us put in our place!We paid about €26.00 each on a shared bill that did include a few beers each, but we all only had a main course. In fairness however, we did get 2 free ouzos each. Sorry but we can’t recommend this place and it is obviously struggling – so much so that the owner even turned away customers from a half empty restaurant on a Saturday night while we were there, because he had no staff.There are MANY more superb Greek restaurants in Hannover – most of them out of town in the suburbs however, but I’d suggest you try them instead.

Back to this restaurant during a tradeshow to have the same meal I had exactly 3 years ago. The mean I had is Bacchus Plate in Menu No. 89, whichi consists of meat spit, 1 chop of lamb, meat dumpling, gyros with rice and a fresh salad of season.

The food was tasty and not expensive. The temperature in the restaurant was not very warm. The service was good and the people where very kind and helpfull.

We went there on a recommendation – big mistake, always make your own research first and never trust a friend of a friend. It was a badly run, shady Greek restaurant that the owner tried to walk alone. He was a nice...cap, very pleasant, but there was no one who served drinks or waited for tables (or delete them), so that as a result, service was slow ... painfully slow and we had to leave the table to find him. We also had to fight with a few families sitting next to and next to our party of six. The children were infants and a baby who was riot and very loud and disturbing. The owner was clearly sympathetic to our misfortune, but did not take any action, which was so different as to scrub his shoulders. Why not a family area? The restaurant is located on a side street in the middle of the city not far from the red light area. The decor was very dated and the place did not feel warm or welcoming, there was no music just loud screaming children and thunder from their feet around on the wooden floor. The food was “okay” best, but nothing inspiring and the portions were not exactly grandiose. We asked for some apple grains at the end of the meal to say that this was a Greek restaurant and they don't sell such things. We were in our place! We paid about €26.00 each on a common bill containing a few beers, but we all had only one main course. In Fairness we got 2 free ouzos each. I'm sorry, but we can't recommend this place and it's obviously exhausting – so much that the owner even removed customers from a half empty restaurant on a Saturday night while we were there because he had no staff. There are MANY more excellent Greek restaurants in Hanover – most of them from the city in the suburbs, but I would recommend that you try it instead.
