Delicious!

Very good vegan food, greek style. Nice service. You have to book a table, ~ 2 days in advance. It's within the hotel, hotel guests get a free "best of" 3-course menu, but you can order much more from the menu card. Worth a visit!

Excellent Greek vegan cuisine

This is one of the best vegan restaurants I have tried in Greece, offering a full vegan menu with Greek dishes like mousaka which was excellent! Is must try whether someone is vegan or not. Well done to the chef.

Literally shop bought food

First of all this restaurant is attached to a “vegan friendly all inclusive” which it is far from, at first I was impressed at the selection when a breakfast they had vegan cheese but come lunch and dinner they don’t even serve that cheese and you’re options are plain rice or pasta, I was looking forward to going to the vegan restaurant but they only let you go once as part of your stay, not only that but the food is literally shop bought, the burger is the popular moving mountain burger, but to charge over €10 for a burger from frozen is ridiculous further more the staff are rude and inconsiderate to those of the vegan diet, when I spoke to the manager of the kitchen (they’re are manager of both the vegan and main restaurant) about more vegan options in the main, she said she can’t help me because I’m not allergic, and when I then lied and say I was she told me to sit down and she would bring me something and just brought me stuff that was already out, like she thought I was to stupid to read that the option said vegan on it, I didn’t not take the option because I didn’t know it was vegan but because it was plain rice.

Pros: Technically vegan, Popular brand, …

Cons: Shop bought food for premium pric, Rude staff, Food is cooked in a non vegan kitchen

Dear Guest,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry we didn't meet your expectations; we wish you had a better experience.
We work hard to deliver an exceptional guest experience, and it's apparent in this case that we fell short.
Concerning your quotes for our vegan restaurant, we always allow guests to visit our a la carte restaurants more then once under the condition that there is availability as the tables are limited in the restaurant. You could have asked any time in the Guest Relations Office if a second or third visit is possible.
It is correct that our vegan burger is a convenient food burger. Please consider that, the most popular and internationally most sold burger "Beyond Burger" is also a vegan convenient food burger used in a lot of vegan or vegan friendly restaurants. The burger we use is of high quality and highly praised by our numerous vegan and non-vegen guests.
Our hotel is listed since years at "Vegan Welcome" and "Happy Cow". We have accommodated for many years vegan guests which were very satisfied with the choices in our restaurants. Even in the Greek and the Italian restaurant our vegan guests will always find a vegan choice in the all inclusive menu.
We are sorry that we could not meet your expectations.

Sincerely,
Guest Relations Team – Apollonia Beach Resort & Spa

Sehr leckeres Essen und nettes Personal

Das Restaurant ist vegan und super lecker,
Sowohl die Vorspeisen, als auch die Suppe, als auch die Hauptspeise ist sehr empfehlenswert.
Die Kellnerinnen sind sehr nett und aufmerksam.
Wenn man mehrere Gänge isst, sollte man etwas mehr Zeit einplanen.
Alle Wünsche bei Menüänderungen werden beachtet und realisiert.
Sehr schöne Atmosphäre. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen!

Pros: Essen, Personal, Atmosphäre

Fully vegan 6-course-menu

Nice menu. I decided to not eat a la carte but to go for the 6-course-menu for 28€. Expect of my main dish, which, for my taste, I chose wrong, all the other courses whether really great.
Fresh squeezed orange juice.
We placed our reservation at midday for the same day but we were at Crete out of main season. If you are there in the main season I would book ahead.
The restaurant itself is really nice but I don’t like that it is located in an actual hotel area with lots of people, who stuff themselves with the half-board meal they have booked and tend not to take advantage of the exclusive vegan restaurant. As a result, you unfortunately have a lot of fat vacationing omnivores around you, which detracts from the charm of the location.

We enjoyed the set menu as a hotel guest. The burger and „schnitzel“ tasted very good. Everything was fresh and tasty. Recommend!

Nice vegan à la carte restaurant

The Avocado is located at Appolonia Beach Resort and at this time (June 2023) it is closed on Thursdays and Fridays . You can not go spontaneously but have to make a reservation at the hotel .
The food was really yummy and the service friendly . You can choose whether you want a set menu (soup, starter, main course Salad, dessert) or to eat à la carte . There were a few options so that anybody should find something to their taste . I hope the restaurant will be able to expand the opening times to more days and that it will be here still, when we come back to Crete 🥰

Pros: Yummy food, Friendly service

Cons: Limited opening times, Have to make a reservation

Solid vegan restaurant

Tasty and filling meals as a great variation to the standard hotel buffet.
We had the 5 course many, which was good but not great.

Best vegan food on Crete I tried yet.

solid restaurant

This was the nearly only vegan restaurant in Crete. I was totally ok and filling. We get the menu which was a few courses. Some dishes were really great such as the dips and the soup, some dishes was ok like the dessert. Maybe just I didn't liked it a lot. Be sure to make a reservation.

Tasty food and wonderful service

I went for the €22 euro set menu so I could try a bit of everything and was impressed with everything- particularly the selection of starters. The staff were wonderful and they also have an extensive list of vegan wines.

Pros: Good value for money, Delicious , Great customer service

It’s really a restaurant!

Everything was well balanced, tasty and pretty.
Stuff is super-nice!
Attention! It’s not easy to get there!
You should call and make reservation.
19:00 is first service!
It’s in a hotel area.
But it’s all worth it!
Also there was some unexpected gift dishes.

Pros: Real restaurant, Really tasty, Super-nice stuff

Cons: Hard to get in. (Call, book, find). , Not cheap

Delicious

We ordered from the all-inclusive menu as part of our stay at the resort. The food was delicious and we left absolutely bursting (go light on the bread at the start...as much more food is coming). The starter was a delicious pumpkin soup followed by meze platter. We then had the veggie burger and schnitzel for main with the most wonderful avo salad (if we were served that salad as a main we would have been delighted!). Dessert was then sorbet or a ‘vanilla cream’ dish which was a bit like custard. Overall really enjoyed our meal...we just wished we had eaten less during the day beforehand!!

Pros: All vegan, Fresh food

Cons: Too much bread (or we are too greedy) , Plain desserts

Veganes Restaurant in super Hotel

Wir machen hier im Hotel zum wiederholten Male Urlaub. Seit diesem Jahr gibt es sogar ein rein veganes Restaurant. Wir haben es ausprobiert. Einfach nur lecker! Es gibt im All Inclusive ein komplettes Menü. Es gibt sogar veganen Wein und Bier. Wir können das Avocado nur weiterempfehlen!

Pros: Veganes Menü und große vegane Speisekarte
