This was one of the best places we tried in Athens! - Edit
So hubby and I came here twice during our 6 day stay in Athens. The first time for lunch, we shared the Falafel Plate, the K burger, and the Louisiana Tempeh Sandwich. The Falafel Plate was HUGE! I'd never seen flat falafels before, but they tasted great. They subbed guac for the tahini-lemon, but it was still tasty! The K burger had the flavor, but it was a MESS to eat. I thought the Louisiana Tempeh Sandwich was pretty good, but hubby thought the tempeh had a weird taste. I think it's supposed to be like breaded catfish since it did have somewhat of a fishy flavor. Not sure, though. Overall, lunch was great!
Read moreWe went back a few days later for dinner as we didn't want to venture far from our hotel and this was one of the restaurants nearby that offered vegan options. Surprisingly, there were a few items on the menu that had changed. This time we ordered the Crispy Tofu, the Veggienagi Bowl (new), and the Poke Bowl. The Crispy Tofu had WAY too much sauce on it. It tasted like the sauce had ponzu in it and it was a bit too tangy for me. With the amount of sauce they put in the bowl, the tofu was no longer crispy. Maybe serve the sauce on the side for better effect. The Veggienagi Bowl was EXCELLENT! This was just added to the menu that day and the eggplant mimics the texture of unagi perfectly! My one suggestion would be to either add another piece of eggplant or cut back on the rice. The proportions were a bit off, but other than that, perfect! Hubby's Poke Bowl was good, but we both thought the peanut butter glazed tofu tasted a bit odd. Not sure how the peanut butter fit into the Poke theme, but it was still a good amount of food and a lot of protein.
All in all, Avocado is a WINNER, and I'm glad to see the the menu is constantly evolving.
Pros: Tasty food, Large portions, Evolving menu

Ingredient conscious food - Edit
Most of the vegan food in Athens we had was street food. This place was the complete opposite and actually it mostly had Asian inspired dishes.
Read moreI had a kimchi burger which was delicious, the sauce they used was really good. I was warned that the burger is spicy but it wasn’t really (I have a low tolerance for spicy food).
The fries that came with the burger were sort of air fried potato slices, so it was obvious the restaurant cares about making the food as easily digestible as possible.
Pros: delicious food, easy on the stomach

Lovely tempeh - Edit
We grabbed the buffalo tempeh sandwich and the raw key lime pie to takeaway to eat for breakfast on the ferry the next day and it was very tasty. Obviously it had gone a little stale / melted because we ate it the day after but it was still good and I’m sure would have been amazing fresh!

Pretty good - Edit
Perfect first dinner for us in Greece as it is right across from the vegan hotel Niki Athens where we were staying! The menu is very diverse and it seemed most items could be made vegan if not by default. Nice, warm atmosphere with pleasant staff. Just wish it were all vegan!

Very much enjoyed - Edit
This was our favorite of the veg sites in Athens. Wasn’t purely vegan so was suited even for the non hard core veg. Great pizza. And onion soup. Easily accessible and located.
Read moreWould go again. For sure.
We went back for a second round.
Pros: Food, Staff, Dessert

Lots of vegan options, simple but tasty food - Edit
They had lots of options that were vegan, (and some gluten free), I had the Om Shanti which can be made with 3 levels of spice. It was pretty tasty and good sized portion. But Wished it had tofu in it. My partner had the Chinese 5 spice burger which he liked. A good solid option if looking for a quick vegan meal.
Read morePros: Portion size, Lots of vegan options, Allergens well labelled

FINALLY!!! Delicious fresh and not drenched in oil!! - Edit
During our travels in Europe we have found some really special vegan and vegan option restaurants. However most of the time I feel like I have to run 20 miles to work off all the fat and oil and this is the first place I have found that it feels really Healthy, not oily and has greens.
Read moreThere are also guiltypleasures on the menu but we got two of the bowls and they were just wonderfully flavorful and light.

Beste Poke Bowle - Edit
Das Restaurant ist auf gesunde Ernährung spezialisiert. Mir wurde erklärt, dass teils Gerichte (z.B. die Marco Plate) nicht gesalzen oder gepfeffert werden. Mein Poke Bowl schmeckte vorzüglich - ebenfalls nicht gewürzt - es gab dafür aromatisches Sesamöl dazu. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Expensive and alright - Edit
Much more expensive than your average Greek restaurant, with an ‘Avocado Burger’ that’s impossible to eat with your hands. It tasted alright, but I’m normally pretty good at wrangling a big burger into my gob; this one needed a knife and fork which pained me greatly.
