A meal at El Greco often comes with a few extras – a small starter salad, fresh bread, and an Ouzo digestif on the house. This is a classic neighborhood Greek restaurant in Munich’s Feldmoching district, and its whole approach is built on that kind of straightforward hospitality. The menu focuses on hearty, popular dishes, with generous plates of gyros and souvlaki, baby calamari, and fried saganaki cheese as reliable staples. You’ll also find larger options like a fish platter designed for two. Portions are consistently large across the board.
Inside, the dining room is simple and homey, with a classic Greek theme running through the decor. When the weather is warm, the most sought-after spots are at the tables in the outdoor seating area, which is arranged among a handful of small trees and plants. It’s a popular local place, and it can get busy, so calling ahead for a reservation is a good idea, particularly for a Saturday evening. The restaurant serves a full lunch and dinner service and can be booked for private family gatherings. In addition to the customary Ouzo, a complimentary dessert of Greek yogurt sometimes makes an appearance to round out the meal.
