Nice hideout in Santorini

Very nice vegan food, the owner was very inviting and friendly. We liked the potato soup and the eggplant roll alot. It had a nice rooftop terrace, free of the busy streets.

Pros: Very nice location, Only vegan options , Luxurious food

Cons: Risotto was a little undercooked

INCREDIBLE

The best find in Santorini, from the location to the hospitality of the staff and not to forget the food. Absolutely gorgeous dishes and lovely cocktails. The staff are absolutely wonderful, so warming and welcoming. We had an incredible experience here and I would recommend to anyone.

Pros: Gorgeous food , Lovely staff , Perfect location

Worst service

I called and they told me the restaurant closed at 11pm. They did not mention that the kitchen closes at 10pm or i would have showed up before then. I got there at 10:20pm and they would not seat or serve me. I am honestly devastated because this is the only fully vegan restaurant in town & I am so tired of having super minimal options at every other place here.

Amzing food

The food is very good, generous portion. We try the polenta, potatoe soup, chick pea salad, a oignon main dish and mushroom with orzo. Everything was tasty and fresh.

Must Go

Easily the best food we’ve had on the island. Probably some of the best food ever. The mushroom risotto and purple roll are absolutely amazing. Beautiful view and vibes all around!

Don't go expecting to have your hunger filled - it's more an experience

The dishes were very creative and beautifully presented. Be prepared to pay a lot for very minimal food. This is more an experience than a meal. The service was excellent and the owner was very friendly. The restaurant has a very nice ambiance with outdoor seating.

Pros: beautiful presentation

Cons: expensive

Expensive but worth it

Most expensive meal I've had in santorini so far BUT the food is great, everybody is friendly and the seating is comfortable. If you have the budget for it, definitely add it as a stop on your trip!

Traditional Greek food meets vegan

This restaurant was so good! We went during lunchtime and were the only ones in the dining area - the staff and owner were very friendly and the food was delicious. Everything was vegan. However, it was pretty expensive.

Pros: Fully vegan, Tasty

Cons: Expensive

Very Rude Service Experience

We were super excited to dine here on our first night in Santorini as we had seen only wonderful things in the reviews, but unfortunately our experience was underwhelming and fairly awkward. When we got there, the rooftop was completely empty except one couple at a table. The waiter seated us directly next to the couple (like, table separated by 6 inches). We were uncomfortable with feeling like a part of their dinner and they were visibly uncomfortable too, so we scooted down a table of our own accord. I will say the drinks were phenomenal (virgin bees knees and house red wine) and the nanobeat was absolutely incredible - the cashew mozzarella and green beans were incredibly delicious. If my meal had just been that dish I would have been happy. We also ordered the potato soup that was just ok (needed more seasoning, specifically black pepper and maybe some spice). But the fava bean dip was straight up bad, like the flavor of the dip was extremely off, the toppings didn’t make sense (beets that tasted canned, whole grain mustard, and pickled fennel which was the only part of the dish we liked). They also serve you 2 tiny little bread rolls (1 per person) that you have to pay €4.50 extra for… like the size of a golf ball. When the female server came around, she asked if we didn’t like the dip as we had barely touched it, and we told her that honestly it tasted pretty off and we didn’t like it. She was kind about it and took our dishes away and brought out our risotto. The risotto sauce was extremely rich, and paired with the hearty barley and extremely sharp cream cheese drizzle it was too much - i took two bites and had to stop as the richness was making me nauseous. My partner managed a bit more than me but we still left the plate only half eaten by the end. We were initially planning on getting the cheesecake for dessert but after our negative experience with the food we decided to pass.

Next things got quite awkward. The (male) waiter came over to us and asked us why we didn’t like the fava dip. We told him it just tasted a little off and we didn’t like the flavors and he said “oh, well everyone else likes it so that doesn’t make any sense”. i thought it would be followed by an offer to take it off our bill since we hardly touched it, but no - that was it. he also tried to charge us in USD with a 9% conversion fee and we had to stop him and make him show us that he was charging in euros. the whole thing felt sort of like a scam and it was a bummer.

Pros: Virgin cocktail options , Nanobeat

Cons: Fava bean dip, Rude service, Tried to scam us with a 9% conversion fee

Wanted to love it, but I didn’t

The food was not great. I was so excited to try a fully vegan restaurant on santorini, but this place disappointed. Bland and chewy. Everything looked nice, tasted bland, and for the price it really wasn’t what you’d expect.

Pros: Atmosphere, Cocktails

Cons: Bland, Overpriced

Fine food, bit over-priced, bit over-hyped

In summary: we enjoyed ourselves, but nothing wowed us, the prices are wildly high for what you get, and the decor is not as fancy as you'd expect. You're also asked to put down a €30 registration deposit per-person, which is something we've never experienced before and wasn't the best first impression.

If you go into the restaurant with reasonable expectations and a fat wallet, you'll leave content.

Pros: One of few explicitly vegan places in Santorini, Nice rooftop patio, Attentive staff

Cons: Overpriced, Average decor, Good-but-not-fantastic food

Special place

We went the night they opened for the season, which happened to be my wife's birthday. It was spectacular! If it moved to New York City it would be mobbed. The ambience could not be beaten.
Every dish and every course was meticulously designed, prepared and presented. There were plenty of healthier options, and a few sinful delights. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive. One of the owners came and chatted, explaining their passionate vision.

Pros: Exquisite presentation and flavors, Attentive waiters, Healthy options

Delicious, but expensive

Sadly we only got as far as the starters as my wife had an allergic reaction that we forgot to specify. But they were delicious, as we're the drinks! No time to come back this trip, but we would definitely go here if we decide to do Santorini again

Pros: Delicious food

Cons: Expensive

Good vegan option

We ate here in September 2022 - we had Mamas Plant Balls and the Garden Bowl. Very tasty and great service. The portion size for the plant balls was slightly too small (probably me being greedy!), and it was quite expensive… although being one of the only vegan options in the area, it’s not too surprising. Would definitely go here again if we return to Santorini.

Pros: Garden bowl was great

Cons: Expensive

Your vegan oasis on Santorini

I was quite excited about this place, headed here right after arriving to Thira. The location is right in the center, but you’ll get the outdoor seating on the roof so it’s pretty calm. The food is quite good and the service is also. It might not be the best food you’re eaten, but it is a great place on an island that is not so vegan-friendly. In fact, I liked so much I had to come back the next morning.

Pros: Lot of options, Central location

Cons: A bit expensive

Classy Vegan on the Island

I was super excited to try 5Senses when I was planning my trip to Santorini. I booked a table for myself but during the low season, you won't have trouble getting a table.

I had the Rainbow Salad (16€) and the Risotto with Violife Chicken (22€), which happens to a sponsoring company of the establishment. The salad was a great change of pace from all the falafels I had been having and was a refreshing start. My beetroot risotto was delicious although quite salty for my liking. However, presentation of both dishes was wonderful and on point.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to enjoy the outdoor dining but I've heard the views are lovely. The dining area is on the second floor while the first floor offers take-away pastries such as donuts, which was also delicious.

Loved it

I loved the food, never had much Greek food before so this was all new to me. Staff were lovely and gave us a complimentary drink when we arrived which was super delicious. Portions for mains are a little bit too small but thankfully we had a side dish alongside them.

Pros: Authentic Greek , A selection of cheaper mains available

Cons: Some of the mains are on the pricey side
