I had a wonderful experience. The outdoor seating area is spacious, pleasant, and incredibly peaceful, creating a cozy atmosphere perfect for a relaxed meal.

While the staff's English was a bit limited, they were very friendly and accommodating. The service was also quite efficient, with our food arriving promptly.

The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes, which were impressively generous. Each barbecue dish came with a side salad, which was a nice touch, and the meat was well-cooked and flavorful.

One of the highlights was the complimentary shot of ouzo, adding an authentic Greek touch to the meal. We were also treated to complimentary desserts, including some delicious fried pastries, which I appreciated.

Although I didn’t eat inside, the interior seemed charming and intriguing from what I could see. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy good Greek food in a relaxed setting.
This is a very popular brewery in Munich and their beer is truly exceptional, especially the white and the old white variety. However, the service and the dishes could use some improvement. I came for the haxen (Bavarian crispy pork knuckle) paired with a beer. The haxen was served very quickly, even faster than the beer which arrived later, causing the beer to warm up by the time I finished the pork.

Moreover, the haxen wasn't fantastic. I understand it requires several hours of cooking, but in this case, a portion was dry and not very enjoyable. The sauce also lacked flavor. It's unfortunate because having eaten haxen in Munich, the experience, although similar, was far superior. I'm disappointed that this renowned Bavarian brewery couldn't convey this culinary heritage better.

It's still decent, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars, but I definitely won't be having the haxen here again. A little tip: it's best to book in advance on weekends to avoid disappointment, especially since the area is particularly touristy.

Our visit to this cognac factory in Armenia was thoroughly enjoyable. The tour was comprehensive and our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We were treated to a tasting, which was a delightful addition to the tour. The price for the tour represented excellent value for money.

Our guide also offered advice on whether to purchase the cognac or not, which was appreciated. I highly recommend this tour, particularly as this cognac is among the most well-known and highly esteemed in Armenia.
