All the hotties are here - Edit
I came here after visiting the Temple of Zeus. This restaurant is very close to many tourist sites in Athens so it's easy to get to for breakfast or lunch.
Read moreOne of the things I first noticed was everyone in here was a dude, and a hot dude. They guys working and the customers too. I am not used to that. Most of the time I only meet vegan women and it was really nice to see so many attractive vegan men (or at least attractive men eating vegan food).
I came around brunch time and got a little bit of both.
I got the smoked tofu and I got the Veganaki special. To drink I got a greek frappe.
The smoked tofu would be the perfect light breakfast. The sauce gives it a sort of egg flavor, but it also is very smokey and lighter with the pita bread and arugula (rocket).
I also wanted to try a bit of everything so the special sounded perfect because it comes with falafel patties, Greek salad, vegan feta, fries with mustard, and tzatziki sauce.
They warned me that I ordered too much food and they were right, but I didn't care. I'm an American so I'm used to big portions. But I should have listened anyway because I stuffed myself.
The special is refreshingly tasty. The falafel is really good and not too dry or overcooked. It was really nice dipped in the tzatziki sauce too. The salad was huge and I really enjoyed the vegan feta. I wish I knew how to make that so I could add it to salads at home. It was the right amount of creamy and crumbly and tasted very fresh as well. The tomatoes were juicy, the onions were crunchy, and the olives gave a great Mediterranean flavor. The fries are the most disappointing part. They are hard and fairly tasteless. They have some herbs on them, but compared to all the other fresh foods on the plate they were underwhelming. Luckily, not eating those gave me room to finish the rest of my food.
I also highly recommend the frappe. It's iced coffee that isn't horribly bitter and has thick coffee foam on top. The coffee flavor is smooth and easy to drink. Because it is iced it is perfect for a warm day.
This is a great spot to get a vegan meal with Greek flair. I recommend coming here while visiting Athens!
Pros: Huge portions , Lots of seating , Lots of choices
Cons: Fries were just ok

Traditional Greek food — but vegan, and amazing - Edit
This all-vegan restaurant absolutely blew me away. They serve traditional Greek dishes, just fully plant-based, and everything I tried was full of flavor and made with love.
Read moreThe staff were incredibly kind and welcoming — you can really feel the warmth in the service, which made the experience even better.
Do keep in mind that its on a busy street and the restaurant is rather small. Hence, if you're easily overstimulated by lights flashing, traffic, background conversation and music, please take precaution.
Pros: Traditional dishes done well, Super friendly people
Cons: Busy street

Incredible spot! - Edit
Really cute vegan cafe/restaurant in central athens. Loads of choice and had a super friendly vibe. Food was really fresh and flavourful. I had the soy souvlaki which was lovely - the tzatziki is to die for!

You have to try it! 🤗 - Edit
Great restaurant with a good selection of Greek specialties and other vegan-friendly dishes. The quality and taste of the food is well worth a stop. Then there's the service, the atmosphere and place☺️. The souvlakis🤩 dish is divine and the tzasikis sauce...you have to stop yourself from licking the plate.🤤

Delicious & healthy food is a great combination! - Edit
We sat there in the evening and felt that we need to try more food from the menu next visit, so we came back again at this trip and it was great both times!
Read morePay attention that in the Greek Style Burger, the burger IS the feta cheese (more like a cheese sandwich in a bun), which was very good!
Also, if you’re asking for a sauce, it will cost 2 euro extra.
Anyway we enjoyed everything!

Delicious Greek Food, Vegan Style - Edit
If you're a vegan in Athens, wanting to try the local cuisine, this is the place to visit. A friendly welcome, and delicious food... what more is there to ask for?
Read moreIt's worth noting that the restaurant is quite small, so unless you want to sit outside (not recommended for February!), arrive early or make a reservation.
All round, Veganaki is a great place to spend an evening in Athens!
Ευχαριστώ Βεγανακη!

a tad disappointing - Edit
a 2.5 out of 5. nothing necessarily "bad" but pretty underwhelming. i had the falafel plate which was mainly tomato, the tabbouleh was essentially just parsley and the falafel were no better than supermarket bought ones. we also had the greek pizza, the sweet potato dough was a nice touch but had too many tomatoes as a topping which was not needed when there was a lot of sauce. overall was quite mushy and bland. both meals definitely needed a LOT more flavour. the peach iced teas were pretty nice and the staff were very friendly. considering this is the most expensive meal i have had in athens so far, i cannot help but be disappointed.

A great experience - Edit
It was off my route and far from my accommodation, but well worth the walk! Having loved Greek food ever since being a kid, this was a truly memorable one and the best of all, 100 % vegan. A nice platter (Veganaki special) for a solo traveler wanting to have a bit of this and that. Their cashew feta is the best ❤️

Two visits due to delicious food and great options - Edit
After being the first time there, we had time give up after sharing the appetizer platter.
Read moreOn our second visit, we had the Zucchini pie as a starter, going on with the Greek pizza and a special of the day, which was gyros on smashed potatos. We finished our meal with Kormos and the red fruits cream cake, which is my personal recommendation.
Great, nice and helpful staff, they recognized us directly on our second visit.

Abysmally bland and disappointing food - Edit
After reading all the 5 star reviews, we were very excited to try. First impressions the place looks fabulous and staff are friendly. The food, however, was utterly boring and uninspiring to want to eat. The soy chunks in the soy souvlaki are basically hydrated tvp balls, not even seasoned or pan fried. The entire dish is a total let down flavour and sauce wise. The vegan omlette was dry and bland, resonating a few day old microwave reheat. The vegan nut cheese was a poor attempt. Ultimately, we enjoyed none of it. Having been vegan for 33 years, these fall well below what is expected on today's culinary competitive vegan market. It felt like the love and passion to create amazing food has been lost.
Read morePros: Atmosphere , Friendly staff until we said we were disappointed
Cons: Excess use of paper and plastic, Really boring, tasteless dishes, Walking out feeling disappointed.
