"General: The bridge day after Christ’s Ascension promised weather conditions that made a bike tour seem reasonable. This is the necessary condition to get my constant companion on two wheels. A Greek return with an uneasy train return was then sufficient to make any resistance without argument. In the northernmost Bremer district of Rekum is the most monstrous building in Bremen, the submarine bunker Valentin. A gigant of the Nazi armaments construction, but never came into operation. But a popular excursion destination, it lies directly on the Weser with a small bay with sandy beach. The road from the dike along but at the bunker leads to the main road and at the corner then our destination. The restaurant has a confusing variety of names. “Rekumer Hof” is always accompanied, probably the historical name. On the building the Greek “Dionysos” and on the business card “Pella im Rekumer Hof”. Since it is a Greek, I speak of “Dionysos”. The homepage [here link] says that the restaurant has existed since 01.05.1985 and is operated by father and son Chatzoglou. When we stared out shortly after half six in the early evening, our goal seemed to be a little inviting. The garden section, where we were able to park our bikes safely in a bicycle stand, leads to a terrace that did not seem to be designed for outdoor use. The extracts from the menu on the left and right of the entrance at the street front strongly wavy and verbal and the view in the Saalanbau on the left showed a strongly prohibitive “Ambiente”. At 6 p.m. we and other, already waiting guests were then opened the door and we entered into a decent restaurant and three German ladies walked in clean black immediately made an open and friendly impression. When we add that in Dionysos, at some prices, you are rubbing tears for the host and we are tasty and well saturated to the Farge railway station, the Dionysos is a rewarding destination to complete an excursion to the outermost Bremen North or the directly adjacent village Neunkirchen. The public that on “Buffet Friday” for €14.90 the proteins shoved onto the plates after hard landing work were regular guests from the environment that occupied several tables. I like to reward the price-performance ratio with 4.5 stars. Service: I had called Dionysos on Friday at 2 p.m. to book a table. A friendly female voice pointed to the buffet evening, but immediately stressed that we could also eat à la carte. The young woman to the voice was one of the two experienced waitresses. Our slightly older, thoughtful operation was more reserved, but also pleasant. A bit more stubborn the lady at the tap. This three-string had everything well under control and the drinks came to the table. Since, apart from us, only another table à la Carte ate, the serving of the dishes also remained within limits. We were offered to take the buffet first in sight to decide whether it was convened was not entirely expressed. At the first unoccupied neighboring table, which we muddled because of the non-burning ceiling suspension lamp, the younger, accompanied by socks on the bank, released the nodes in the cable and screwed the pear and the standard illumination was produced. On the iPhone a Wi-Fi of the Dionysos appeared and after a touch a password was requested. Then the young blonde waitress was amazed and wanted to ask the boss, but then pointed to problems and finally suggested that we could come every Friday and then it will work at some point! Don't like what I like. I always give a bonus star and we land at four for the service. Now watch out for the drinks prices and dear hosts in the rest of Bremen: 0.75 l water 4.50 €, Krombacher 0.3 note at 2.60 €, the open red and white standard wines 0.2 l are between 3.30 and 3.80 €; my Malamatina in the 0.25 l original mini bottle stands on the Bon with 3.50 €. The Ouzo 2 cl has a grain price, namely € 1.30! Unfortunately, my Malamatina was not nearly sufficiently cooled. For the mood there is an ouzo on the house at the beginning and at the end. Food: On the homepage you can see the unpriced menu and an unusual variety of appetizers, then the grill classics and an Italian section. We had studied the map before we were told that the buffet was ready to be visited in a side room. At first my constant companion, without commenting after returning, but with the request that I should make myself an impression. The main dishes in the usual buffet containers were fresh and hot and filled the small room with a odor mix that did not remember Greek barbecues and produced good 30 degrees. As an appetizer department, I only discovered a salad bar and in the hot area, among other things, gyros from chicken meat and grill liver from pig, both for me exclusion candidates. We were therefore agreed and chosen from the map: Auberginensalat 3,90 €, Tirokafteri grated sheep's cheese 5,00 €, Gigantes 10,90 € with sheep's cheese as starters and then the peasant skewer "Horiatiko Souflaki" 10,50 € and the filled bifteki 9,90 €; I ordered a Tsatsiki for 3,30 € for a tasteful rounding when I couldn't discover a Klacks on the plates with the main dishes. From the kitchen a plate with a ball of herbal butter and four fresh, warm pizza rolls. Nice and untypical for a Greek. The aubergine salad was made with yogurt and succeeded, albeit only zaghaft knobt, which also applies to the tsatsiki, but which came refreshingly with dillnote. Very good the sheep cheese cream, prepared with a strong feta. The gigantes were thought to be the main dish from the size of the portion and covered with a large slice of mild sheep cheese. For my taste with carrots too sweet and the beans from the rather small variety. As an intermediate step, a herb salad which was slightly yellowed in color. We suspected turmeric, because the colouring addition was taste-neutral. Simple and refreshing. My constant companion is specialized in the souvlakivarian “pear spear”, which is equipped with cube pieces, which are usually more juicy than the thin slices that are skewed for the standard ouvlaki. The expectation was not disappointed here too, and the three spikes were almost made. For me, they should have been a little stronger. The rice a little overcooked and the onion unloved. My bifteki gemisto from the “formulation” and surface structure is very rustic and somewhat crumbling in the touch! But grilled and very well seasoned with a clear cumin note. A strong sheep cheese in the chopped. In my Bifteki-Gemisto ranking a front table place. Both main dishes are therefore tasty, well portioned and priced very hospitable for 10 € on average. Safe 3.5 stars for food. Ambience: Already at the beginning, the Dionysos does nothing from the outside and in the hall I also want to know my funeral, that is to say in absentia not committed. The restaurant, on the other hand, has three areas plus a spacious terrace. The tables are partly placed in niches with benches and are dimensioned sufficiently. Otherwise there is no lack of space. Pseudo masonry, a mural and column decoration in the passages provide for the furnishing palpitate. Two grottos were in operation once as indoor ponds. Greeks only came from a distance to our ear; the speakers must have been placed in another area. On the terrace you can sit well and are surrounded by villages from two sides of farms. A small honorary rescue for the hall operation: There are very spacious toilets for the restaurant and the hall that make a fresh and modern impression. Cleanliness: There was nothing to assemble. The furniture is also well maintained."
