Quite bad experience

So, first they brought beef moussaka instead of the vegan one. Ok, mistakes happened. However, the replacement looked like someone ate it before me already and the taste was bad (previously we had moussaka elsewhere, so we had something to compare). The other meal, was some sort of pasta with mushrooms, which tasted ok, but you had this feeling it was standing whole day somewhere on the counter and you are just not sure of it turned bad already or is still ok to eat.

Pros: A lot of veg(etari)an choices

Cons: The food was not good

Expensive but big portions

The staff was really helpful, but the menu didn't list the vegan options, so we had to ask for the dishes. 18€ for a gyros seemed pricey, but the portion was big. Typical tourist restaurant.

Fine alternative when you're hungry

Good location but very busy and loud. The vegan gyros had meat substitute but it was kind of dry.

Nice setting and a seperate menu

A good range of options and waiters who understand needs. They provided a bowl of fruit rather than complimentary yogurt.

Pros: Setting

Cons: On the more expensive end

Don’t go here

Terrible place - so expensive (18 euro for a vegan gyro?!), menu is unclear what’s vegan and just vegetarian, staff are super pushy, and tiny portions for the price. Would not recommend to anyone

Pros: How quickly they got me the check

Cons: Price, Staff, Options

Good selection of vegan and veggie food

The are very accomodating and make traditional Greek dishes fantastically vegan. The Dolmades are divine. Am absolutely going to come back.

Please note they don’t always have the faux meat available but substitute with delicious grilled veggies instead

Great food and lovely staff

Delicious food and very efficient and friendly staff (they even chased us down when one of the party left their bag).

Had separate veggie and vegan menus, the veggie menu was vegetarian society approved and had lots of options.

Enjoyed very delicious halloumi and veg souvlaki and gyros.

Great location near the palace of the
grand masters and Mosque of Suleman. We visited at 6.30/45ish and were seated immediately but there was a queue when we left at 8ish.

Would give 5 stars if I could

I had the vegan souvlaki, and first of all, it was a MASSIVE portion, so go there hungry!!! Also got the hummus, 'cause as we all know, hummus is fuel for vegans. Both absolutely delicious and a full vegan menu. Also, very affordable. Very recommended.

Pros: Lots of options , Tasty mock meat, Well presented and great location

Cons: It serves meat too!!!

Deserves 5 stars

Amazing vegan gyros with faux meat. It’s always nice when you let the staff know that you’re vegan and they immediately respond with “perfect!” and explain all the vegan options to you. However don’t get the beer, they kinda stiff you with a glass that definitely doesn’t contain 500ml.

Friendly owner, great service

We had Vegan gyros, the plate was big full of greens and pita. There is also various meze plates, such as the big beans (barbunya beans) in tomato sauce we had was delicious.

Pros: Super service

Cons: Need to ask and make sure the plate is vegan

Staff needs to tell you what's vegan

The menu is seperatly for vegetarians but as a vegan you need to tell the staff what you'd like and if it's possible to be made vegan

Portions are big

Food is tasty

Pros: Taste, Portion size, Staff

Cons: Menu

Nice place, friendly staff and good food!

Very friendly staff, nice ambience. They have a vegetarian/vegan menu.

Vegetarian Gyros with grilled cheese.

Round 20.00/21.00 o clock it's very busy and possible you have to wait for 5-10 minutes.

Pros: Friendly staff, Tasty food , We've got an ice cream for free.

This was beyond delicious 5🌟

We were looking for a nice spot to have dinner and found this gem. They have plenty vegan options and a separate "vegetarian menu" that needs to be requested. The food is really high class tasty and the seating in the "back aka garden" is so special. Our waiter named Stavros was an incredible host and really made this dinner special for us.

Pros: The garden area, The vegan menu, The ambiente

Cons: Pricey

Great vegan food

We visited here and had the vegan sharing mezze. It was lovely. A bit pricey at €65 but it could easily have fed 3 or 4 people. There were other cheaper meals on the menu but we wanted to try a bit of everything and it was lovely!! Some of the best food I've had abroad

Pros: Good food, Friendly staff , Pretty location

Cons: Quite expensive

Nice food but not convinced they fully understand vegan

Some nice food on offer here. I had the giro (minus halloumi to make it vegan) whilst my wife had a rice dish. Pricing was quite reasonable too.

When getting ushered in by the front of house, I asked if they had a vegan menu to which he said yes. This isn’t really true, as it’s a vegetarian menu with only 1 particular dish (the beyond meat burger) labelled as vegan from the get go. When ordering and asking for a vegan giro, the order got repeated back as a vegetarian giro. Confidence was not exactly given.

I felt comfortable ordering what I did as it had a really obvious component (cheese) to ask be removed. I wouldn’t be as confident with other dishes on offer though where a bit of egg or honey snuck in.

Pros: Reasonably priced, Quite tasty

Cons: Understanding of vegan vs veggie

Vegan and Vegetarian menu available

We were impressed by this restaurant as when we asked for vegan options, we were given a separate menu. The restaurant owner also introduced himself and was insistent that we could make anything we wanted.

The food was delicious, we were pleasantly surprised by the large portions. I had the Vegan burger where I received two Beyond Meat patties, a large portion of fries, salad and rice.

Pros: Helpful and friendly staff, Good selection, Large portions

Cons: Options not marked on normal menu , Vegan options not fully marked on menu

Vegetarian and vegan menu

Plenty good choices for both vegans and vegetarians including beyond burgers, first time in a Rhodes I was given a special menu for vegetarians. Food was good, excellent service and an extremely popular restaurant with a queue all evening- they serve a lot of meat and fish too.

Pros: Lots of veggie and vegan choices, Not just pasta! , Says on menu vegetarian society approved

Cons: A lot of meat and fish around, Best to book as busy

Traditional foods prepared vegan

They offer vegan/vegetarian options of traditional Greek foods such as souvlaki or mezzes. And they have a separate vegetarian menu, you can ask for that. The only downside for me was that they being frozen yoghurt with honey on the house after you finish your meal. It is a great treat but if you are fully vegan, just ask the staff to not bring it before you finish your meal.
We paid 60e for 2 main dish, some mezzes, and drinks for 3 ppl.

Pros: Delicious vegan Greek food , Separate vegetarian menu, Friendly staff

Cons: Frozen yoghurt with honey on the house
