Delicious vegan meze! - Edit
There are a few options for vegan main dishes such as a burger and pizza but we prefered some typical Greek food so we ordered all the vegan starters on the menu to share: stuffed vine leaves, fava bean mash, olives, spinach pie and pita bread. Vegan options are clearly indicated on the menu. Everything was so well prepared and flavorfull and enough food for 2! The owner was very friendly and told us about the history of the dishes, which was so nice and interesting! The atmosphere was really nice, next to a beautiful lake.

Just coffee - Edit
I only drank coffee here. They only had almond milk, which is my least favourite but I was happy anyway. Very friendly staff. Coffee was good.

They had a few vegan options on the menu (6 or 7). Food was great, but a little expensive. Pasta with pesto was about 13€. The people were very nice there and they also have vegan ice cream

Vegan menu - Edit
This is the first place locally that I’ve found to have a vegan menu which is great. I had the pesto pasta and a side of French fries. Huge portions and good service and a lovely location on the lake. The food was nice but nothing to write home about so not sure we’ll return to try the rest of the menu.

Food was a little disappointing but lovely destination - Edit
Lots of vegan options which is great. Unfortunately the execution of the food was lacking slightly. We had the vegan pizza which had a lovely crust but was cold on the middle and the cheese had been added to the pizza after cooked so was not melted. The pesto pasta was nice although no pine nuts as stated on the menu. Destination was very picturesque and service was friendly.

Cons: Food not great

Vegan options in Omnivore Restaurant - Edit
My wife and I were happy that we found vegan lunch in this small lovely town. I had a burger and my wife had a club sandwiches. Both were very nice but the sandwiches weren‘t exactly as described on the menu. Friendly and funny weither. They told us that on most days they have vegan chocolate ice cream, but we couldn’t try it.

Good! - Edit
The food was great and so much, the location was excellent and the staff incredibly nice. When we went to pay, one of the staff let me know that they also have vegan chocolate ice cream and he let me try it. I thought that was super nice, but I was to full to actually get it! It was very good though. They also have vegan milk for coffee.

Bad vegan food, good service - Edit
There are 4 vegan options: the first is a pasta dish that we haven't tried. The other are combinations with beyond yond meat. We have ordered the pizza since didn't know that it was with beyond (a subtatude that we don't like). The pizza is actually a focaccia with some kind of a bad vegan cheese (was hard, tasted awful and didn't melt) and pieces of beyond meat on top. Could not touch it.
Read moreThe servise on the other hand was good and they were very polite even tough it took a very long time for the dish to arrive.
Gave them 2 stars since they were nice. So nice that I have left the dish full and didn't return it.

Lovely place & delicious vegan food - Edit
Cafe12 is located beautifully at the Lake and has some vegan options. I had the Vegan Club Sandwich and it was delicious! My partner (who eats meat) had the Moussaka, which he said was also very very good. What I found a positive surprise: The dish with meat was way pricier than the Vegan option, which is not usual - but actually should be the norm. Really nice to see vegan options not as a way to offer expensive food but simply to expand the options!
Read moreThe service was also really nice and since I ordered the Vegan option they brought us each a scoop of vegan chocolate ice cream to try for free. I can really recommend Cafe12 to anyone on this app.

The perfect end to our visit - Edit
We were upset to see our first choice on Happy Cow has since closed, but really really enjoyed this place. The waiter was super kind and helpful, and the food was actually better than expected (as in the pesto came with proper pasta instead of spaghetti, and the club sandwich came with something like Beyond Meat or comparable 'meat' on it. They also had a fair price on Alpha beer from the tap, and the chocolate gelatto was so good even the waiter himself said it rivals 'regular' Gelato. You can't beat the atmosphere when it comes to the view either 😄
