Delicious vegan menu - Edit
I ate here my first vegan dessert in more than a week in the city! Finally a delicious cheesecake and a chocolate Lava cake that satisfied my cravings. I had the gyros and it was delicious! I also could finally try the Tzatziki. I was there with non vegans and they said it was perfectly indistinguishable from the dairy one! The restaurant itself is located in the city open-air market so the surroundings are also very nice and traditional.

Cons: Could get a bit loud if you sit outside

WOW! - Edit
I recently dined at "Roots" in Thessaloniki, Greece, and it was an exceptional vegan experience. The vegan Gyros was incredibly flavorful, the loaded fries and grilled Brussels sprouts with plant-based Camembert - to just name a few - were a perfect appetizer, and the chocolate lava cake for dessert was divine. The food was not only delicious but also a testament to the creative possibilities of vegan cuisine. Pairing it with great local beers added to the enjoyment. The restaurant's super chill and tasteful ambiance created a delightful dining atmosphere. Super friendly and helpful service! Highly recommend for both vegans and those looking to explore plant-based options!

Just perfect! - Edit
I tried the carbonara ( very good) and the pita bread with some sauces. Everything was delicious and as a vegan I think it was the best place that I went in Tessaloniki. I would love to repeat the experience!

Ehhh - Edit
Cosy restaurant, friendly staff. Menu is lacklustre, expensive, and portions are TINY for some things.
Read moreYou order a stroganoff and get a tiny starter size bowl of rice and a few mushrooms on top with a small watery sauce in the rice, for 10.50. Cannot recommend that to anyone.
Cons: Expensive, Tiny portions

Fast food to slow food excellence - Edit
This restaurant is great from opening hours and open kitchen to the location next to the monastery and in an alley with taverns. While you will find fast food on the menu it suprises with artisan vegan dishes. Give it at least two times a chance 😉 i am here today for the third time.

Got informed that everything is vegan on the menu and it can be vegetarized if otherwise requested. That is why they do not have any information what is vegan or vegetarian on the menu. Charming once you know.

Genuine vegan gyros - Edit
Nice cute café with outdoor and indoor seating. Good service and very decent prices. Plenty of vegan options.
Read moreLoved the deconstructed gyros. From the soft grilled pitta bread, the mustard sauce and the other thicker one, the very-well seasoned skin-on chips and special mention to the meat alternative for a very genuine flavoursome spice mix.
Plenty of vegan choices so I would definitely go back!

Been coming to Thessaloniki for 3 years and what I love about the restaurant is the changing menu. Always innovative and fun. Got some pasta with vegan feta and a red sauce, it was nice. They have however more interesting options on the menu

Divine - Edit
With a friendly service at a central location, rOOts is a must-visit location in Thessaloniki. The menu is fully vegan, so there is a lot to choose from (although they do serve some dishes with cheese if customers request that). My personal recommendations would be, for appetizers:
Read more- wine leaves
- plantbased crab
- moussaka
As mains I recommend
- beyond sausage spetofai
- gyros
- schnitzel

Excellent - Edit
It is 42°C outside. We had the tofu ceviche, with some sort of fresh gazpacho, spicy and refreshing.
Read moreThe couscous as main course was delicious along with nicely steamed small vegetables (small courgette 😍). The mushrooms risotto was one of the tastieat I've tried.
Good local slection of wines, beers and water from the tap on glass bottle.
Best choice in town!
