    (Translated by Google) Excellent restaurant and great service! You are welcomed as if you were part of the family and not just a guest. Water with refreshing herbs / lemons and a small starter were brought to the table. Many restaurants in Zurich can learn a bit when it comes to hospitality. The food was also VERY good. The meat platter is particularly recommended here, you won't find such good fillet of beef in Zurich that quickly. (Original) Ausgezeichnetes Restaurant und super Service! Man wird willkommen geheissen, als wäre man Teil der Familie und nicht nur ein Gast. Wasser mit erfrischenden Kräutern/Zitronen und eine kleine Vorspeise wurde auf den Tisch gebracht. Bei der Gastfreundschaft können sich viele Restaurants in Zürich eine Scheibe abschneiden. Das Essen war ausserdem SEHR gut. Die Fleischplatte ist hier besonders zu empfehlen, so gutes Rindsfilet findet man so schnell nicht in Zürich.

    After so many five star reviews we honestly expected a bit more. The food was good, but not extraordinary. We tried the vegetarian Mezze. We liked the nice terrace and the wine selection. The prices are moderate and fair (for Zurich).

    (Translated by Google) I am absolutely overwhelmed by Parea! If I could I would give 100 stars! The service was just great! As soon as you sit down, you first get a jug of water with lemon and peppermint leaves plus bread with delicious hummus (unfortunately that is not so common in Zurich, you usually have to pay for tap water everywhere) but here it is simply served without asking! Top! The food was amazingly delicious! It's a shame that I only discovered this restaurant now and not before. Many Thanks!!!!!! (Original) Ich bin absolut überwältigt von Parea! Wenn ich könnte, würde ich 100 Sterne geben! Der Service war einfach spitze! Sobald man Platz nimmt, bekommt man zuerst mal einen Krug Wasser mit Zitrone und Pfefferminzblättern plus Brot mit leckerem Hummus (Das ist in Zürich leider nicht so üblich, man muss meistens überall sogar für Hahnenwasser bezahlen) aber hier wird das ohne zu fragen einfach serviert! Top! Das Essen war unglaublich lecker! Schade, dass ich dieses Restaurant erst jetzt entdeckt habe und nicht schon vorher. Vielen Dank!!!!!!

    Food was phenomenal, each dish was extremely well crafted and so tasty. Service was a bit awkward in the beginning - we had to trade tables because one of our ladies in the group brought her baby in a stroller. So they didn't bring us new water carafes for over an hour after asking several times and responding with an attitude about it. Maybe the waiter was frustrated that we didn't inform about the stroller - something we simply didn't think to do. Eventually, service improved and all was fine in the end. Don't hesitate to order the fried feta cheese! All reviewers are spot on - this is the best thing, melts in your mouth! Octopus is also perfectly cooked. Not sure I care for the ceviche much, I've had better (and it doesn't seem Greek?). We ordered shareable dishes and hand-picked them so we could choose our own combo of veg vs meat dishes. Worked great!

    Must orders: fried feta and the ceviche Amazing Greek food! Prices are moderate, but you get the quality that comes with it relative to other Greek restaurants in Zurich. With 7 mezze, pita bread, two drinks, plus tip … we spent around 175 CHF They have outdoor seating, great summer spot.

    I've been to this place just this week with a couple of workmates. They served some of the best Greek dishes. My advice, go with the various meze and you can't go wrong. The restaurant has a nice interior but also a beautifully furnished outside seating. The washrooms are not only clean, it also smells like in perfume section of a department store. The staff, especially Panos is a great host. He takes care of his guests at all times and pays attention to detail. Great place to done if you like Greek food.

    Greek tapas @parea.rest made up for a particularly fun and exciting night out 😍👌🏼 We had a mezze sharing menu (43 CHF/ Person) and tried 8 different dishes (4 dips, 2 fish dishes, 2 meat skewers and 1 cooked bean dish, all served with warm pita bread). The service was particularly good and the food variety and quality was excellent! Personal favorite was by far the meat - who knew that simple and charred pieces of beef and chicken could be so flavorful! Next time I will definitely try the meat platter 😍😍👌🏼 The fish, dips and yes, also the oil, were all particularly good - I could not chose favorites!! Ambiance is also recommendable for any type of setting, the restaurant is small, cozy and modern.

    Great spot with a lively, knowledgeable team. Loved the feta bell pepper dip and olives - they were out of gluten-free bread but it was nice they thought of it (and I appreciate the reduction of food waste, since it was their last day open of the week). The melon feta salad, Muhammara, and ceviche are all winners. The whole grilled sea bass was fresh and herby, and came with tasty sides. The wine was okay, not outstanding. For dessert, try the Yaoourti - it's whipped Greek yogurt with honey and nuts, just perfect. Fair prices for Zurich. Overall, tasty food, friendly service, definitely worth a visit.

    (Translated by Google) The restaurant exudes a family atmosphere, you immediately feel welcome. The mezzes are delicious and the prices are absolutely fair. A highlight is the beer range, which goes far beyond the usual 0815 lager beers. (Original) Das Restaurant versprüht eine familiäre Atmosphäre, man fühlt sich gleich willkommen. Die Mezzes sind sehr lecker und die Preise absolut fair. Ein Highlight ist das Bierangebot, welches weit über die gewöhnlich zu erwartenden 0815 Lagerbiere hinausgeht.

    Portions are tiny, pita bread is not included with the cold mezze, make sure to order extra or get nothing. For 100 CHF you get great quality and sizes and actual authentic greek food at many other places in Zurich. Can’t recommend, feels like a hipster scam.

    Lovely little place with outdoor seating in the summer. The tzatziki was delicious, as was the beef skewer. The skewer came with crisps — I would have preferred some regular potatoes or fries instead. All in all we had a very good evening. Friendly service and tasty food.

    We were a big group and had a mezze (not sure they call it that way) to share. I usually love eastern Mediterranean food but I found this one just okay. The bread was good, the tzatziki too, but the more elaborate things were just okay. The portions were not well calibrated to the number of people, so not everybody could try everything. The service was fine and pleasant.

    (Translated by Google) Very hearty restaurant. Friendly service. The food was really very nice, good wine. A bit too small portions and too expensive for that. But in this crisis, ok. Definitely recommended and we would love to come back again :) (Original) Sehr herziges Restaurant. Freundliche Bedienung. Das Essen war wirklich sehr fein, guter Wein. Einbisschen zu kleine Portionen, und dafür zu teuer. Aber in dieser Krise, ok. Aufjedenfall empfehlenswert und wir kommen gerne wieder einmal :)

    Amazing Greek food. Quality ingredients. The best feta saganaki I have had. Every dish was delicious. The choriatiki salata was fresh and full of flavour. They also have an excellent selection of wine and beers. We had the plomari ouzo, which is one of the best from Greece. We couldn't reserve a table online but called the restaurant and luckily we were able to book.

    Absolute stunner of a restaurant! We had the 8 course vegetarian menu and thoroughly enjoyed each one! Their fried feta with home-made tomato marmalade was outstanding! Great variety, portion-sizes and well worth the price. The service was also extremely pleasant. 10/10 would go again and highly recommend!

    We visited as a couple (one Greek) and had a great experience. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and we liked the atmosphere. Above all, the food was excellent - the best chicken kontosouvli we've had!

  • 4/5 Ronnie S. 2 years ago on Google
    A lovely Greek restaurant with amazing staff. The service was very friendly and very quick. The place was full and they still managed to provide great service. The menu offers something for everyone and is delicious. This is one of the best Greek places I have ever been to. I would highly recommend booking a table if you are going with a group in the evenings during the peak hours.

    Food and drinks were good, but the pricing is completely off and needs to be reviewed. Shared the mixed mezze among 6 people. Dishes offered enough to have a bite, but not really to enjoy. They served one dish with half an octopus tentacle to split 6 ways...

  • 5/5 Emma P. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow! What a nice meal! The service was absolutely amazing - it made the whole night. The wine delicious, food abundant- everything you want in a great Greek restaurant. Nice little find!

  • 5/5 Robert S. 1 year ago on Google
    We made a reservation through Google Maps for a dinner the same day. The outdoor seating was shaded, and the waiter was energetic, friendly, and spoke English well. We shared the vegetarian and mixed (vegetarian, meat, fish) mezze platters, as well as a few extra dishes. It wasn’t the cheapest meal, but everything we ate was great, especially the pita.

  • 3/5 Eleftheria Z. 2 years ago on Google
    😁Really friendly staff,the service was nice ,the plates we tried were tasty.I found welcoming the bread offered at the beginning. They don’t speak Greek but they are more than happy to welcome you in English. ☹️I found the place too small and as a result I could here the discussions from other tables and I couldn’t understand if the music was on or not. Found it overpriced on some dishes.

  • 4/5 Marcel Andre C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very good food and some nice varieties on the menu. We chose our own plates and we hadn’t been disappointed with a single dish. Service was really good and even though they said they are closing soon for holodays they had still every item on the list but after us some people weren’t able to order everything we overheard which is a good sign that the restaurant keeps the stuff fresh. The best dish was the fried Feta.
