Lovely service and plenty of alcohol with reggae music

The only distinct vegan place in town. It is clearly marked on happy cow and is located exactly 600 meters from where we stayed (ie, a few minutes of walking). It's mostly a very sympathetic (and dark, as you'll see in the photos) place that offers completely vegan street food: gyros, club sandwiches, falafel, hamburgers, Mediterranean bruschetta, a mezze platter and ice cream (we sampled almost all of the dishes, loved them and left full and drunk. Twice!). It’s not about a culinary sensation, but it serves yummy food and it's fun to praise the only vegan place in town.

What a find, a great little bar with great food

Loved this place. The staff were really friendly and during our stay, I think we tried everything on the vegan-only menu, all of it delicious and really good value. My favourite was the gyros for £3, absolute bargain!

A lovely spot just off the beach, with a laid back atmosphere, I’d very much recommend giving this fab little place a try.

Pros: Quality of food was excellent, Very good value for money, Lovely location

Cons: Honestly can’t think of any

Great food right by the beach

As the only fully vegan venue in Rethymno, we had to try this place. We went there after a day at the beach (it's a bit of a walk from the city center, but not far if you are at the beach). We tried the mezze for two and got to try their variation of food on a plate. It was a good portion, but too tasty not to order something else. Both the gyros and club sandwich were great. But don't be fooled by the prices and the name, the portions are more than "a snack"!
It also functions as a beach bar, and most people were there to have a drink by the beach. As a new venue, I hope people support them by actually eating there too. With a view of the beach, nice venue, and great vegan food, I hope it stays there for a long time.

Pros: Fully vegan, Good atmosphere and staff, Great food

Cons: Food took a while, but it was worth the wait

Quaint and friendly vegan café

I enjoyed my visit to Loco vegan snack bar. The service was friendly and really quick; my pita gyros (I really enjoyed the chips, meat alternative, amd vegan tzatziki) and matcha latté were both tasty and sizeable portions for an affordable price. It’s also in a beautiful location, right across the road from the beach. Would go back to try the burger if I was in Crete for longer!

Nice food

It was nice to go somewhere where the whole menu is vegan and we could pick anything from the menu, that being said I wish there were more options. There was a burger, gyro, Mediterranean sandwich and club sandwich. We went for the burger and it was not disappointing. Yummy food and drinks. Staff were friendly and not bad prices.

Good place, not sure if 100%vegan

We all had stomach issues within 30 min after having eaten there
Those who had milkshakes and ice cream had more troubles than those who did not. My 6 yo is vegan from birth and she was having stomach issues until midnight(she had fries, milkshake and ice cream). The symptoms are very much lactose intolerance.

Thank you for your comments, we are 100% vegan, I will attach the certificate from our supplier to ensure you of that. We are sorry that you had a bad experience, but as a vegan myself I would never serve anything but vegan. I go through the suppliers to ensure that it is 100% vegan, for me and my customers.

Tasty food and awesome service!

On our way to Chania saw that this perfect vegan spot opened up.
Ordered their omelette(chick pea based) and gyro both delish!
Then switched into our swim suits and took advantage of their lounge chairs on the beach.
Quick dip and continued on our way.

Pros: Tasty vegan food, Good service, Beach loungers

Best gyros pita ever!

Amazing place, we have ordered gyros pitas and cocktails (zombie and pornstar) and both food and drinks were amazing! The gyros was the best i have ever eaten and definitely the best food i ate in Crete. Non vegan partner was amazed as well! Highly recommended!


Today we tried the burger and it was amazing as well! Meat is the beyond meat but it's perfectly seasoned and garnish is amazing, highly recommended! The stuff is very friendly and helpful, best place in Crete

Delicious food.

They know how to make delicious vegan food because of much experience and excellent skills.
It can become even bigger and the best vegan place of Rethymno.

Pros: Food and drinks., Music

Fully vegan beach side snack bar

Myself and my Fiance had gyros and an oat cappuccino each.
The food was very tasty, nicely presented and the staff were lovely and very attentive.
The atmosphere is chilled with good music and plenty of shade.

We will 100% be back.

Pros: Fully vegan menu
