• A veggie gem in Athens!

I must admit, I was disappointed when I searched vegan in Athens and only a couple of restaurants came up.. I really expected there to be a big list! However on our first visit to 'Avocado' - I was not disappointed! My boyfriend and I ate here three times on our trip to Athens and I would definitely recommend it! It is in a good location - we were very lucky just a short 2 minute walk from our hotel (my idea of heaven!). The staff are lovely and friendly and the ambience of the restaurant is lovely too. we ordered a variety of things including herbal teas, smoothies, fresh juices, soups, salads, appetisers and mains and we enjoyed everything! We also went here for dinner with two non-veg friends and they loved it! One of our friends was gluten free so it was an added bonus that this restaurant clearly noted all gluten free options - and there were quite a few to choose from. Our absolute favourite dish on the menu was the Goan Curry-Soup - it was so nourishing, hearty and delicious! Filled with vegetables and beans, we had to order another bowl! They also serve alcohol and I was very happy to learn all their wines were vegan :) I would definitely go back! A true vegetarian gem in the city of Athens!
