Amazing!! - Edit
We came there pretty late, but the staff was still really nice and welcoming. They have a daily changing menu with vegan options and everything sounds really nice. Highly recommend :)

So much choice! - Edit
This has just been my first visit for 2019. I live locally so love the idea of a vegan restaurant so close. In previous years, I was sometimes disappointed by the number of vegan choices and felt the menu did not clearly state the vegan options.
Read moreThere has been a transformation!
The vegan dishes have been made far more obvious and the number of choices astounding. Perhaps the restaurant should be reclassified as vegan with vegetarian options?
The service was good, portion size fair and general presentation very good.
A true family-run restaurant for all the family.
Much effort has been made for the 2019 season and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you give it a try.
Pros: Choice of dishes, Menu changes daily, Pleasant surroundings
Cons: Just the slightest whiff of drains out back

Not particularly good, we were disappointed - Edit
After driving for an hour to get to the restaurant, we were disappointed to find mediocre food.
Read moreThe spreads were nice, but nothing special. The main course wasn't so delicious.
The dessert was tasty (vegan carrot cake) but unfortunately only after I started to eat it, I found that it contains honey, although it should be vegan!
Pros: Atmosphere, Location, Service
Cons: food

Great food and atmosphe - Edit
We ate here two nights running during our two-night stay in Paleochora! The menu changes daily so there are always new things to try, and my non-vegetarian partner also very much enjoyed the food. I like that they have more international/Asian dishes as well as Cretan/Greek classics - Cretan food is wonderful but sometimes you just fancy something different for a change. The location is really nice too - just off the beach, and plenty of tables inside and outside.

Great place for vegans, lacto-vegetarians and non-vegetarians. - Edit
Brilliant place, but even if it is listed here on HappyCow, it's sometimes difficult to find using HappyCow's search engine - don't know why.
Read moreThe Third Eye has a Helpful staff, is close to the beach, and it's great to (finally!) find a Greek cafe with lots of non-Greek options. They have great Thai food, very nice Chinese fried rice, and they also have well known vegan stuff like guacamole, hummus and falafel (but the falafel was for some reason only available as a non-vegan option).
The vegan options are usually clearly marked on the menu, and many of the lacto dishes can be served without animal products.
Pros: Great food, Very vegan friendly, Helpful staff
Cons: None that I can think of..., ...other than that their falafel was nonvegan

Casual place with some unusual items - Edit
Extensive menu features some unusual items, such as a fennel salad with orange and a number of Asian-inspired dishes (which we didn't try). Plenty for vegans. Relaxed, grown-up hippy vibes. Best place for herbivores to eat when in the area.

Excellent vegetarian restaurant in beach village - Edit
We can't say enough about the Third Eye and Paleochora. You come to a beautiful village, full of mainly Greek tourists, and right off the beach is a beautiful gem of a restaurant, which is mainly vegan.
Read moreWe had dinner here twice. The menu changes daily, all the dishes were about 7 Euro. The first day we got a curry and an Indonesian dish with peanut sauce. The second day we order Somasos with chutney and salad, and another curry.
They also served us great bread and garlic bread, and at the end of the meal, when we couldn't eat any more, a plate of watermelon.
The workers are all from one big family. All the vegan dishes were clearly marked.
My wife also went for breakfast (while I was hiking the Samara Gorge nearby). She particularly like the nice atmosphere.
My only suggestion (enhancement) is that they try to provide vegetarian cheese. The owner told us that this father makes the feta himself, but he wasn't sure about the enzymes. If they could have assured us the enzymes were not animal-based we would have eaten the feta as well (after a week in Crete, we really wanted to try the feta).
We recommend both the restuarant and the town, I would plan my trip around going to the Third Eye!
Pros: excellent food, great value, large portions

Not really sure it was worth the drive. - Edit
I'm not really sure this was worth the drive from Chania, but the drive was fun! The food was great, but not as vegan-friendly as it could have easily been. The location is nice - only a short walk from the beach. The atmosphere is good, the staff were decent for being in Greece.

Cons: not very vegan friendly
