Review: The restaurant and organic store next to it is a convenient combination for me as a vegetarian. The price is fair and I am glad that they, as one of the few few, offer vegetarian and proper food. Nevertheless I hardly ever eat there and prefer to cook and eat at home simply because the dishes are quite simple and lack flavor and imagination. You get what you pay for, which is good. The variety of choice is excellent. Service is fast. You can't go wrong with the fruit juices. Try it out, it's quite interesting.
 
Pros: belly filling * wide variety of dishes * fast service
Cons: not so tasty * *

Review: Have been several times and each time there are different main dishes, all reasonably priced and very filling. The fresh juices are good too. For around 29 euros, 3 of us shared a large fava, a salad, two fresh juices, macaroni pie, 'beefsteak' pie, & bread.
 
Pros: free water or cordial * Varied fresh squeezed juice, * Large portions
Cons: Rushed to make choices * not tempreture hot *

Review: Luckily our hotel was located very close to this place and we enjoyed having such an easy access to that simple but efficient vegetarian food provider... They had interesting vegan options and also make the famous Spanakopitas suitable for vegans. We recommend this place to vegetarian and vegan tourists looking for something good, healthy and reasonnably priced.
 
Pros: Price * Location * Fresh food
Cons: Not very cosy * *

Review: Found this place by accident while looking for a taverna recommended by a friend. It says "Vegetarian Fast Food" outside--hard to miss! I think the name in Greek is "Biological Greek".

The food is cafeteria-style taverna fare. Basically all of the veggie options you can find in a taverna plus a few mock meat options. We were in a hurry, so just grabbed what looked good. I had soy kebab (sort of a soy mince stew) with okra in tomato sauce. My father had an onion tart (not vegan) which he liked but would have preferred hot (traditionally, Greeks don't think hot food is good for you so in less touristy spots, food is room temp). My brother had roast potatoes and my husband had fava, two bulghur-stuffed eggplants and Greek salad without the cheese. We all shared amongst ourselves and with two beers our total was only 13.60 euros! You can't even get gyros for that in Athens. We couldn't even finish everything and had to leave behind one of the eggplants as we were getting on a flight in a few hours.

Don't expect anything amazing and make sure you pick up a salt shaker downstairs before you head up (the nicest seating is up two levels), but the food is good, fresh, cheap, and off the tourist track. They also have fresh-squeezed juices.

The health food shop next door has pretty much everything you need including vitamins, cosmetics, organic fruit, veg, and dairy, soy products, and dry staples like beans, wheat and gluten-free products, and quinoa.

 
Pros: Cheap * central location-easy to find * Traditional dishes
Cons: Somewhat lacking in flavor * *

Review: This place had some Greek foods that you won't normally see in Greek restaurants--as an example, I recall having leek pie. There's a decent selection here at a decent price at this lunch counter, and a lot of the items appear to be vegan. It's very cramped inside though.
 
Pros: some "new" Greek foods * good portions * affordable
Cons: too cramped inside * *
