Akropolis – Best Greek in Vienna

Located a bit further from where we are used to for our daily dose of food, this 30-year-old tribute to Greek cuisine is the work of three hard working generations of Greek cooks. Opened in 2005, Akropolis offers locals something in between an old school menu of traditional fare from the homeland and other modern take on other specialties. While it can be overwhelming to look at the almost 6-page-menu, you don’t have to worry. Their staff (all hailing from the land of Zeus) will help you find your way.

Amongst the things that we sampled, the big winners of the “I licked the plate while the waiter was taking it away,” award are the homemade tzatziki and their Galaktobureko – a delicious dessert, which is basically pastry that comes with a berry sauce and vanilla ice cream garnish and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Apart from this, the restaurant’s vast interior offers a lot of space. Akropolis is fine dining experience, with a hearty Greek soul at the center of it.

We also recommend… you try out the chicken with their homemade “Metaxa Sauce” – its something definitely different from other Greek places.

Plus: they also have a second restaurant in the 21st district (Prager Straße 14, 1210)
