Leonrodstrasse 85, 80636 Munich, Bavaria, Germany
+49 89 18979623
Update restaurant details
Ranked #29 of 2,295 restaurants in Munich
Cuisines: Greek
Dining options: Reservations, Late Night
Description: The Poseidon is within walking distance of tram stops for lines 12, 20 and 21. This is a typical Greek restaurant in terms of very generous portions, the ouzo served both before and after the meal and the Greek waiters indulging in light banter with the clientele. The menu offers mostly fish dishes and a very large variety of (Greek) meat dishes together with some starters.

“Excellent place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013

Amazing authentic cuisine and friendly and very warm place. Sort of a Greek holiday break in the middle of snowy January in Munich. And it works till 1am if that matters for you, though of cause you going to stay late there, it worth it :)

“Excellent Choice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 4, 2013

This was a great choice for a "different" dinner during our visit to Munich. The staff were ultra-friendly, greeted us on arrival, offered us a free shot of Ouzo when we sat down, and made us feel quite welcome.

The food is reasonably-priced Greek seafood, something we just don't usually eat at home. It was prepared quickly, tasted great, and the portions were quite large. Note that they do have an English menu but they appreciate it when you try to order in German (even if you use the English menu to figure out what you want). Truthfully, Greek food and seafood seem to translate well so you can read most of the German menu if you try.

So, this was a great meal but what happened on our way out, really surprised us. As we were walking out, one of the staff asked us to wait a minute and he brought us a small bottle of wine as a parting gift. A very nice touch, indeed!

Final tip: If you visit, walk back in the general direction of the Nyphenburg; we found it to be a very enjoyable walk and there are some shops and cafes a few blocks away.

“Great lunch for very reasonable price.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012

I was getting really hungry when my husband decided he will stop at the first restaurant we see before I get unfriendly lol. And he did it right it was the best place to be great atmosphere and very delicious food the stuff are very friendly and they try hard to please you even though they speak no English. I will always remember those Huge grilled calamari rings.

“Very friendly, good food, good service”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 12, 2012

Really relaxed restaurant. Friendly and good selection of food at a good price. Vegetarian is limited but there are a couple of choices (to be expected in a Greek restaurant).

“Great Greek in Nymphenburg”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 10, 2012

This restaurant was not far from our hotel. We noticed in on a very uninspired bus tour of the city. It's near Nymphenburg Palace in a lovely residential area. I'm glad we decided to try it. Good Greek food and very reasonable prices with a very friendly staff and owner. It looked like it had a heavy local following. We drove, which made it super convenient. There's a lovely looking outdoor dining area - too late for this year.
