Taverne Porto Eliá Argyrios Terzis

In general The more grey the Schmuddelwinter, the greater the longing for Mediterranean – for us a reason for an excursion in Greek Gefilde, this time in Porto Eliá, located in a Cannstadt residential area near the S Bahn Station Nuremberger Straße. We enter the restaurant on a Friday night through a windfall, it is already quite full at eight o'clock, but we have reserved and get a table at the end of the L-shaped room. Shortly afterwards also the menu that is identical to that on the website. A look around us surprises us extremely positive, the not particularly large restaurant is exceptionally beautifully designed, it dominates the color white walls, fabric table ceilings, white-coated wooden chairs with straw seat interrupted by light green accents, decorated the walls with elegantly illuminated shelves with oil and wine bottles, it lacks any folklorecch. Lighting through the shelves, discreet ceiling lights made of pasture braid and candles is incredibly pleasant, not too bright, not too dark, blind-free and harmonious. So we relax when looking at the maps and decide on the front way for the Mezedes Zesta, the mixed appetizer plate € 12.40 , after which my husband wants the plate Porto Eliá Souvlaki, chicken breast skewer, lamb chop, peasant roast sausage, € 16.90 and I the squid from the grill, stuffed with paprika and dried tomatoes from Santorini € 14.40 , On drinks we want a Sauvignon blanc € 5,30 , a Ampeloeis Silver Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, € 6,30 and a large water € 4,40 . When after some time the friendly waiter comes to pick up the order, my husband can still recommend an aperitif of the house. In the appetizer plate, according to the further advice, the version is enough for a person, if you would like to have a main dinner afterwards. Thank you, so we do this – with an exception: remembering the experience that the food comes in most Mediterranean places before you have drunk the Apertif, I prefer to stay with the wine. My decision turns out to be more than wise, because a few minutes later the food comes before the drinks. Four beautiful rectangular bowls are built in front of us, there are nicely arranged four slices of eggplants in the pastry with tsatsiki, potato cream, various yogurt feta creams, a thin long pepper filled with feta cream and three filled wine leaves with tsatsiki. Shortly afterwards the drinks come, the special aperitif tastes quite fruity, my Sauvignon good. The mineral water is a Greek import in a beautiful dark blue bottle. We are hungry and attacked, but it is not easy, because we only have our knives and forks, serving spoons or the like. Tastefully it is not bad, but little varied and a little fad, the eggplants very rich. For what Greek restaurants usually go up in this category, the bid remains very pale. Blaß also remains the service, because it lets us sit in front of the empty plates. And sit and sit. At some point, we succeed in capturing the auxiliary skeleton, which is obviously only dedicated to the application and removal of the skeleton, which then also gently cleanses the serving plates and leaves the plates standing. They will then finally be taken along again at the next round. And we keep waiting, my husband not only for food, but also for his red wine. Unfortunately, the auxiliary skeleton can only little German and therefore do not correspond to this wish, after all the waiter is again shown from the beginning, and so the wine comes practically at the same time with the food. In front of my husband there is an appealingly stacked meat pyramid, along with the potatoes, in front of me a large sepia with clear traces of roast, surrounded by paprika and zucchini cubes appears. I'm starting to saber with emphasis, because the squid is hard on the rubber and the wings burned. The supplemental vegetables could have been cooked for a longer time. Tastefully everything is very medium, the filling of feta cream with peppers and tomatoes acts as if the paprika had been accommodated by the appetizer plate in the squid. At some point, it'll be too bad for me and I'll leave a third. My husband still fights bravely with his meatberg while I still try his potatoes. They're incomprehensible, how do you get baked oven potatoes and don't taste intoxicating. We look envious to the good-yellow Greek men's round at the side table, which seems much more satisfied with their food. Now the waiter reappears and offers us something to the house when we ask for the invoice, yogurt with walnuts and honey, alternative Ouzo or “like Ouzo without chemistry”. In a last buzz of adventure pleasure, we choose the latter, served in geeisten glasses. My husband kept the glass under his nose and said, “ smells like Pattex.” I tried a sip and added “weaks like that”. Operation Very friendly, but not tuned and therefore overall planless. The ingredients were fresh and nicely dressed, all other seasoning, taste, selection was rather disappointing. The ambience really nice ambience, by far the most beautiful Greek restaurant in Stuttgart. It's a shame that food doesn't fit. Cleanliness All right.

The greyer the scoundrel winter is, the greater is the longing for the Mediterranean – for us a reason for an excursion in Greek territory, this time in Porto Eliá, in a residential area Cannstadt near the S Bahn Station Nuremberger Straße.

The restaurant accepted a booking for 17:00 on 24 December. On their OpenTable page they explicitly state that they are open on all public holidays in Baden-Wurttemberg. But when we arrived, the restaurant was completely closed. This ruined our Christmas Eve. To add insult to injury, we still got the points for attending our reservation meaning the restaurant must 've had the knowledge of our reservation! Totally irresponsible.

Excellent service.... Friendly staff..... Great food... Well worth the money spent..... Nicely decorated resturant.... My new favorite food spot...

Great food nice wine and a couple of Hefeweizen. Enjoyed our stay. We came in a group of four and sat outside. Good service. We'll be back.
