Just delicious!

That was one of the tastiest vegan dinner I’ve ever had in Greece!
I could eat their cauliflower ceviche and ‘crab’ every day!

Good food

A bit overpriced. Other than that food was okay. Nice outdoor seating. We tried gyoza, Buddha bowl, gyros and pasta putaneska.

Fancy restaurant with delicious food.

Very good food, we had the Camembert as starter and was very good, it was the first time I at a cheese with sweet olives. The gyros plate as main was amazing, I liked it a lot. Cheesecake for dessert was super delicious.
4 stars because it's not longer fully vegan and the moussaka my girlfriend ordered was lacking flavor a bit. But generally a very good place to visit.

Absolutely delicious

We have been there with my wife multiple times and actually we've tried the whole menu.
Everything can switch to vegan and everything is super tasty.
One of the best places in Skg.
Highly recommended.

Very good food!

Well cooked tasty food w interesting options. Tradicional ones include the giant beans, gyros and moussaka. Carbonara was good but you could taste the almond a lot. The green bean appetiser was a messy combination but tasty! Moussaka was very creamy and good! Desserts are too expensive!
Con: waiter asked if we wanted water after ordering our drinks so i thought it was on the house but it was a store bought bottle so we payed!

Mein Highlight der Stadt

Das beste Risotto meines Lebens und das erste vegane, welches ich je gegessen habe. Das Plant based crab schmeckt genau wie Fisch. Sehr lecker und hübsch angerichtet.

Pros: Location, Service , Gerichte hübsch angerichtet

Best Meal of the Trip

Wonderful cozy cafe with elegantly served food of the best quality. All vegetarian and vegan. The vegan Greek Salad with vegan feta was marvelous as was the Carbonara with plant based ham and vegan shaved Parmesan. I cannot recommend this place enough. Hats off to the kitchen! Great location, too.

Pros: High quality vegan food, Many choices, Elegant presentation

Really nice food

The food is excellent. Our favourites were the starters which were the crab and the green beans. The moussaka and the gigantes beans were good too. Good fresh ingredients. The whole menu is vegan or vegan option.

Pros: Location, Service , Dinner setting

Cons: None haha

Fresh!

4 stars only because it’s vegetarian not fully vegan. I really liked the Greek salad and their vegan feta was amazing. Really fresh produce and olive dust on the salad was unique / made a more complex flavor profile. The gyro “meat” was so good too! The yogurt used on the grape leaves was nice.
Plenty of outdoor seating in a scenic old area.

Nice for the variety

I would say 3.5 stars, mainly for the portions, much smaller than typical Greek sizes. For instance, we ordered the Gonza (sp?) listed as a main course, but it was just 7 or 8 tiny dumplings, more of an appetizer. I would suggest serving it on a bed of healthy grains dressed up in that tasty sauce, with thin slices of marinated tofu😄
I was relieved we also ordered the gyros, which was enough to split between two and tasty, and the mushroom salad, also tasty but could use more toppings. Staff were nice, cute place!

Pros: Tasty food, Variety of selection , Something different

Cons: Small portions

Pretty fine

We went there two times. 1st time I had Gyros, which was actually pretty good, I love their vegan tzatziki. And second time we come just for vegan crab with cucumber pasta. Both dishes were good. Personal looked more busy but they were still nice. Prices are little bit higher. But it's still nice place to visit.

Pros: Tzatziki , Gyros , Crab

Cons: High price

Mixed feelings

We came on a Sunday because it was the only veggie restaurant open, is not full vegan but vegetarian/vegan. There are a variety of dishes to choose. The prices are not cheap nor super expensive. The main courses were small and we stilled hungry after eating them. The flavors were interesting but not a big deal, the artichokes weren't what I was expecting. Th risotto was better but too salty in my opinion. The staff wasn’t the happiest one but I kinda understand, it was Sunday with 31 degrees outside. In general is a good place to eat if you don’t find anything else and you are not super hungry.

Pros: Interesting variety of dishes

Cons: Pricey, Small portions

Average experience

The dishes we ate were vegan gyros, a main course of artichokes with other vegetables in sauce, and in addition a mushroom salad, the gyros course was tasty but too small, the main course was average in terms of taste, just a sophisticated course that doesn't come with anything good and the size was funny really small maybe more the size of a portion A small starter and not a main course, the salad was tasty but really small, the prices compared to Greece are expensive and not justified, the service was good overall, you could add a little smile and warmth, overall a mediocre experience.

Creative and colorful dishes

A well thought out menu with a variety of dishes. My non-vegan partner enjoyed her choices here. Service was fast and friendly. Food was excellent in concept, and above average in execution.

We had the artichokes, the melon gazpacho, and the roasted lettuce (this was my favorite!).

Pros: Creative menu, Fresh ingredients, Fast service

Best vegan in Thessaloniki

Very nice place. Only one here that I would say you can sit and have a decent meal that's not just a wrap, gyros, etc. so well done.
Staff could have done with being a bit more friendly. But overall a good experience. Prices reasonable too.

Best of Thessaloniki

Exceptionally good food. Creative and tasty. Great variety to choose from. Nice local beers as well. I would have given 5 stars but they serve cheese as well. Make sure to state that you are vegan. Very friendly service. Melon gazspacho did not have as much melon taste as I would like but still very tasty.

Pros: Great variety, Creative food, Friendly service

Cons: Not fully vegan

Best Vegan Food Thessaloniki

This is my favorite vegan restaurant in Thessaloniki and has some of the most incredible vegan gyro I’ve ever had! Menu has many delicious options but definitely go for the gyros as it stands out the most 🙌

Quick, tasty, nice.

Friendly waitress, the food came quickly and it has a nice interior. I had the Vegan gyros which seemed a small portion at first but actually filled me up well.

Pros: Tasty, Cozy
