Delicious vegan burgers - Edit
Amazing vegan burger from with sweet potatoes and avocado! Nice service who recommended that we order our later, if we have any space left after the burger. And they were right!
Read moreWe sat upstaris at Japanese-styled tables, where you sit on the floor and it was really comfortable.
Very rich menu with a lot of vegan options.

YUMMY!! - Edit
We had a hard time finding this place, probably because we didn't really look up the directions properly, but after a lot of walking we eventually found it, and it was so worth the trouble. We both ordered burgers and they were SO good, but portions and so filling. We were nearly too full to order dessert but we decided to share a piece of the Raw chocolate tart, and it was AMAZING!!! The best vegan dessert I have ever tried. The staff were all so lovely and friendly. If we had more time in Athens we would of been back for sure!

Delicious vegan food! - Edit
This is a great restaurant with friendly staff who speak English. We ordered the vegan pizza, the spaghetti bolognese, most of the appetizers, and the curry. The curry and the spaghetti were really tasty! I highly recommend checking this place out. The organic market next door is also great, and has a good selection of vegan food.

Not one to miss!! - Edit
Saw this place on happy cow and made the trip as soon as we arrived (suitcases in tow) on our first day.
Read moreAll the staff were so lovely and very welcoming!
We ordered the Tempeh and the Guacamole starter to share which was fine for 2. Very delicious! They also do smoothies which we tried and loved.
We went back later the same day for dinner with no shame because everywhere else seemed lack in comparison! We had the Vegan Pizza and Vegan Avocado Burger, no joke their avocado is literally the best I've ever tasted.
Prices are moderate, but if you share its fine, most of the places in the centre are slightly more expensive anyway.
Definitely go here! Vegans and vegetarians very welcome!!
Pros: friendly , delicious , organic

Amazing! - Edit
We ate here multiple times on a recent trip and everything we tried was delicious. Vegan options are clearly marked on the menu and there are plenty of them. The service was excellent. The portion size was extremely generous. I only wished we had room for desert after seeing so many people snapping photos of theirs. I highly recommend this place!

Fresh, and a good menu. We had a veggie burger and pizza, both we're excellent. Vegan options. The only minus was the standard massproduced white bread on the burger, otherwise top notch.

A veggie gem in Athens! - Edit
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!
Read moreWe 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!

Great place to eat vegan food! - Edit
We were in Athens for work and desperate to find some nice vegan food. What a great surprise to find Avocado! We went twice and owner very friendly. Staff eager to explain food they were serving. Price moderate and good service. Good vibe, nice to eat sitting on the floor on low tables!

Read moreDo you know this feeling when you look at the menu and you want to try absolutely everything? Yes, this is AVOCADO :)

The prices are adequate to the quality and quantity of food and the service -> amazing too! ;)
This is honestly the best restaurant in the world and we would love to live closer, so we could be there every weekend :)

Superb - Edit
I found this restaurant in Athens in my last visit and I only can have good words the the food and the staff. I ate a couple of days and all the time the food (vegan) was very tasty, very well presented and good portions. Staff is very friendly and efficient and they are keeping an eye on the customers all the time. Next door they have a shop so it is very convenient. And good location as its around the corner of Syntagma Square. I am looking forward to come back next time I am in Athens. well done guys!

Fabulous menu with really good treats, like vegan pizza. Some items have dairy. Over a few visits, I had the Zen Tempeh €11,50 with organic rice noodles, ginger, snow peas, red curry, tempeh chunks. I also had the Vibrant Vegan Pizza €10.50 and raw chocolate tart €7.00. Juices & smoothies, large menu. Free wifi.

unser Urlaubs-Highlight - Edit
Das Avocado ist super!
Read moreSäfte und alle Gerichte werden frisch zubereitet.
Es gibt so viele vegane Sachen. Man muss es dazu sagen.
Die Toiletten waren sehr modern und sauber.
Lieber isst man im Avocado als auf der Plaka!!! (ist genauso teuer aber ungleich frischer!!!)
Das Avocado war ein Highlight in unserem Griechenland-Urlaub!
Wir waren 2x dort und jedes Mal war es genauso gut.
Pros: frische Zubereitung, lecker!
Cons: keine

Wir waren dieses Jahr wieder im Avocado und es hat uns nicht mehr so gut geschmeckt. Die Hauptspeisen waren mit sehr viel Öl gemacht, Hat uns nicht mehr so gut gefallen.

No words for how good it is - Edit
Avocado is AWESOME.
Read moreThe prices are inexpensive, and everything I tried was extremely delicious. I ate here 4 times in 5 days.
They have a large number of vegan options, and many more items can be altered to become vegan. There are changing daily specials, as well.
The food is very filling, and the flavors are wonderful, so you get a great meal which is filling at a good price.
I tried the following items:
Falafel plate - very bold, unique flavors in the falafel and the salad.
Raw chocolate cake - just plain amazing. (specify you are vegan, so they don't put honey on top of it)
Dal soup - very delicious and very filling
Avocado burger - one of THE BEST sandwiches I have ever had in my whole life.
GO HERE AND GET THE AVOCADO BURGER. Seriously.
Pros: No meat, Very friendly, Amazing food

Great Way To End My Holiday - Edit
This place is great. We visited at the end of a weeklong holiday after finding little to provide us with a hearty vegan meal. The location was very central & the staff we very friendly & accommodating. The food was very delicous, so much so that we paid another quick visit just before dashing to the airport the next day. Portion sizes were generous & the food was well presented & served quickly. I have to say I was greatly surprised & would recommend this to anyone visiting Athens, along with the raw vegan chocolate tart!
