Nice vegan place

Really nice place, staff is super friendly always asking and looking if everything is all right, you have a lot of traditional Greek food made vegan and a big menu, it is a bit expensive for me

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Traditional Greek food made vegan, Super nice staff

Cons: Quite expensive but you can expect it

Plenty of options, mostly mediocre

A vegan food hub in Santorini! Finally, a place my boyfriend and I can pick almost anything off the menu and enjoy! Overall this place has a lot of options, the food is NOT basic, it is creative but also sometimes missed the mark. For appetizers we had the Greek Patsas soup which was very basic but the quality of the mushrooms were good so I give it 8/10. The Cheese On The Rocks appetizer is VERY rich, dense and somewhat on the sweeter side, almost like it was a cream cheesecake dessert - 6/10, we didn’t end up finishing that one. The Shrimp Curls were pleasantly presented, uniquely innovative and delicious 8.5/10. The Field Shrimps was a pretty good dish, literally vegan shrimps in a giant bowl of sweet potato purée. I thought the proportions of this dish were way off, and craved texture and balance, everything about the dish was soft, but the flavors of the individual ingredients were good, 7.5/10. My boyfriend got the Chikey Stripes, which were three different ingredients that were good on their own but like an awkward eight grade dance when put together, 7/10. The chocolate cake was good but not great. The cocktails and service were both excellent 10/10! Perhaps our expectations were too high, coming from California where we have an abundance of delicious vegan options. For Greece this is great that this restaurant even exists so we still want to support them, but perhaps after reworking their menu it would have been more impressive.

Great experience

We had dinner and it was very nice there, sitting outside while the sun went down. The service was excellent and the food was served very nicely. We had a mushroom soup, which tasted faboulos! We also liked the vegan shrimps ( Shrimp Curls) very much. Just the Cheese on the Rocks tasted sweet. We did'nt expect that, but it was'nt bad. The Purple Roll was served with a vegan cheese-cream and tasted great. All Portions were served in a perfect size, so we were full at the end. Nevertheless we had to try the Choco Berry - cake. Very delicous!
As a vegan, you' re right here! And as a non-vegan too. 😉

Pros: New tastes

Cons: Expensive but it's worth it

Amazing vegan/vegetarian restaurant in Fira, Santorini!

As a committed vegetarian (heading vegan) I'm used to taking the boring options on a menu when traveling, so I was thrilled to find this new restaurant in the heart of old Fira. The open-air atmosphere was beautiful, the service was great, and the food was both creative and delicious. I would fly back to Santorini just to eat there again😄

Pros: Excellent vegetarian and vegan cuisine, Organic wines, Lovely setting

Cons: It's not cheap

High Hopes

Man this is a hard review to make. First let me start with the staff. They are fantastic hands down. So this review is strictly about the food. I was very excited in finding this plant based restaurant. I originally came to get the beautiful salad I saw on here the Buddha bowl. To my dismay it is only served for lunch and we came at dinner time. Bummer! So I decided to order a salad to start the crunchy greens and it was very good just not filling like a Buddha bowl would have been. Also must add salad is overpriced good but not worth the 16€. Then for the main I ordered the portobello mushrooms because I mean all mushrooms are great. Unfortunately I could only force myself to eat one and this made me sad because mushrooms are meat to me and I hate wasting. The sauce that they put on them was too salty. I think it was some sort of soy sauce not sure but it overpowered the mushrooms making them uneatable. Even though I was very disappointed in this dish I really hope people can find something on the menu they like to keep them around as an option since vegan food is soooo limited. Perhaps try the lunch menu seems to have a few more things that I would have liked or liked to try over the dinner menu.

Exceptionnal quality but...

A quality rivaling starred restaurants... just wow !

What you should know:
- it's VERY expensive (count 40e for 2 dishes 1 drink)...
- some dishes are too heavy... and i mean... A LOT (avoid the vegan Baklava unless you already weighting 120kg yourself)
- portions are too big for many dishes, especially during lunch

I would love portions to be reduced by 40% in order to be able to eat appetizer main dish dessert drink without feeling completely full and beyond. Prices should be lower as well in order to stay in the 40e range per person with an additionnal dish.

Never the less quite an amazing experience to have.

Some youth problems since it just opened that i won't detail. Don't expect the price's standing yet.

Special Mention for the little free corn soup that was amazing as well as the evening vegan shrimps apperizer!

Very friendly people and clean place and design.

I hope it to soon be worth 5 stars.

It's actually too frustrating to only be able to taste 2 dishes before being totally full.

Best vegan restaurant I’ve ever been to!!

Went here today with three of my non vegan friends and we all LOVED IT!!!! hands down the best vegan restaurant I’ve ever been to! Not only was the food incredible but the staff were so kind and friendly. This restaurant was the highlight of my trip to Greece. I got the vegan kebab and it was divine! My friends got the pesto pasta, Buddha bowl and chickpea salad. Amazing flavour and you get what you pay for! Please go here if you’re ever in Fira!

Nice food and vegan baklava!!

Amazing that this is the only all vegan restaurant in Santorini and that it serves Greek baklava (vegan!). Beautiful setting and centrally located in Fira. The Gazpacho soup was delicious. This is supposed to be a high-end restaurant so don’t expect home comfort food like burgers/ fries- it’s fancy!

Truly worth it

We saw the menu and of course were skeptical. All of the food we had was amazing. Yes, it’s pricy but worth every penny! The manager was so well versed on veganism. They do still have milk and cheese for those who need it but otherwise vegan. They asked upon arrival if “plant based “ even though I am vegan and understand the difference.
It’s a dining experience for sure.

Pros: Flavors , Service, Atmosphere

Cons: Pricy ( but worth it)

Excellent food

We went to this place a few times during our stay in Santorini and enjoyed it every single time. The food is delicious and they offer a great selection of plant-based meals (you can choose normal cheese instead of vegan cheese for some meals though).

I‘d recommend to go there before 6pm, as the dinner menu is much more expensive and we prefered the lunch options they offered (the menu is available online anyway, so just check beforehand).

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly waiters, Traditional Greek meals

Cons: Expensive

Beautiful upscale dining experience

This is a very stylish, beautiful dining option in upscale, beautiful Santorini, in the heart of Fira. There is plenty of comfortable seating upstairs, away from the madding crowds of the streets below. Service is friendly, earnest and impeccable. The menu is curiously more extensive for lunch than for dinner, but all in all, Greek specialties are superbly rendered in veg format. The portions are large. The quality and freshness are absolutely present, and the cuisine is sophisticated on a par with general, upscale restaurants. The owners are working towards making the restaurant fully vegan from generally vegetarian. A sour note was that we were never clear whether "shrimp" items on the menu were vegetarian or actual shrimp, which would be concerning. Let's hope the former and, if the latter, that that goes away soon. COVID has done a number on this restaurant, so your support is greatly needed and appreciated.

Pros: Beautiful, upscale, stylish, Good and friendly staff, Excellent food and large portions

Cons: Expensive, Possibly not fully vegetarian

Fantastic dining experience

Beautiful restaurant. Looks are deceiving - we thought originally that the takeaway area on the ground floor was the whole business - no! There is a stunning roof terrace with beautiful views. It is not at all "touristy" - very classy and modern.

The food was pricey (though not more expensive than other restaurants in the area), but the quality was sublime. I had the "shrimp" - phenomenal!

The default is vegan food, but some options can be made vegetarian by adding dairy if desired. No meat or seafood at all.

It was brilliant as vegans to have a whole menu to choose from, and made a very refreshing change from the overwhelming seafood all over the area.

The level of service was exemplary - and the whole restaurant spotlessly clean, including the kitchen. Konstantin, our server, was a delight and helpfully gave us advice on how to spend the rest of our afternoon on the island.

This is a new business in a fantastic location, that any omnivore travel companions would also be very happy with. I truly hope they have the best of success.

Pros: High quality food, Excellent menu choices, Beautiful setting

Cons: A little expensive - but so is everywhere there !

A gorgeous vegan fine dining place on paradise island!

The just recently opened 5 Senses restaurant is the perfect place for an upscale dinner, romantic date or outing with friends, right in the middle of the happy buzz of Fira in Santorini! Upstairs with a beautifully designed open terrace seating, the restaurant boosts a creative plant-based menu that makes your vegan Greek food dreams come true! Pasta dishes "your own way" go along with Greek favorites, interesting appetizers and divine desserts. Vegan is the default and a dairy version is optional!
We went twice in just 5 days and tried Cheese on the Rocks, Greek Patsas, Hemi Beets, the Pasta with pesto and seafood sauces and the Greek Baklava - simply wow!!

Pros: Gorgeous design and centrally located, Excellent food and primarily vegan, Fit for foodies

Cons: Staff was new and still being trained, Restaurant gets confused with downstairs Juice Bar
