Nice ambience, friendly staff

They only have vegan starters available which they were happy to point out on the menu. It all tasted amazing and we were stuffed! The place looks really cute and was packed with locals. Around 22.00 live music started as well which was nice!

Authentic cosy restaurant

Lovely authentic restaurant. No vegan main courses, but some delicious vegan starters you can combine. The chickpeas and mushrooms are amazing. I also had the split peas, which were fine, but not as special.

Pros: Wonderful authentic atmosphere , Beautiful setting, Vegan options

Cons: No vegan mains

Lovely place for dinner!

Go here for their delicious greek appertizes! There are some vegan options on the menu and they are all very good. My favourites were the baked chickpeas and the grilled mushrooms. The staff is nice, helpful and friendly. The bar/restaurant is genuine greek and at our Monday evening there was a live band playing greek songs with the greek guests singing along. Only negative thing is that they do not have any vegan main course.

Just perfect

This was exactly the cute Greek restaurant with music, nice people and traditional food I was looking for. Granted, many dishes contain meat and dairy, but there are plenty of mezzes that are vegan to choose from, and it’s really the experience you are there for!

Pros: Sufficient vegan options, Delicious food, Great vibe!! Music, indoor tree, so Greek!

Cons: Many dishes contain meat, Vegan options are mezzes, not mains as such

What a hidden gem!

I am here as a faculty member on a study abroad program, and my colleagues and I ate here as a final meal before leaving Athens for another city. We were truly blown away by this place. First, the areas surrounding it quickly turned into a lovely and quiet little alley that was full of vibrant local life. This is NOT a tourist district, which made this so special, though it is a little grittier in some parts. Our waiter Demetris was so kind and wonderful, and we had some long conversations with him. That was just a bonus to the wonderful drinks and food that we enjoyed. My colleagues are not vegans, but they devoured the plates that we ordered. The chickpeas were probably my favorite, and I highly recommend that you pair those with the chorta and split peas or grilled mushrooms because they will bring you bread, which you can use as a base for both. Everything was truly incredible. We will definitely return here next year with the program, and I hope that you will consider frequenting this local business with good people who very much made us feel welcome. We didn’t stay late enough for the live music that starts on weekends at 9:30, but the place was fully booked that night so get there about 7:00ish for an early dinner, and you’ll have the place to yourself.

Tasteful and quiet

It was a really great experience with lots of food plant based in a great room with a big tree in the center. Delicious, you have to try the salads and the grilled honey feta for the vegetarians.

Pros: The place, really great, A big selection of plant based meals , Vegan possibilities

Amazing place - must go

Wow this place is the most amazing restaurant in Athens. If you come on an evening when there is live singing you’re in for a treat. The staff here are like family and so happy to work here. They speak English and know what vegan means/ can tell you what has cheese or meat. Half of the menu is already vegan. Most things are made with olive oil. Try the mushroom, split pea. Eggplant and salads. Also try the sweet wine. Outdoor patio area is gorgeous

Pros: Lots of vegan options - waitresses know what’s v, Try mushroom dish! Wow , Try the split pea dish - wow!

Cons: Meat options on menu
