Great vegan choices right by the lake - Edit
This is a very nice spot and I’ve been coming back here for years. Of course you can have some Greek starters here but the great thing is their real vegan options like a very tasty vegan burger with beyond meat patty and vegan mayonnaise for the fries. They also offer a vegan pizza with minced vegan meat and vegan pizza cheese among other good options.
Read moreGenerally on the pricier end of the spectrum but not too expensive.
Staff is very friendly and professional.
The spot is one of the best in the city.
Pros: Friendly and professional staff, Location, Tastiness of vegan options

Delicious vegan meze! - Edit
There are a few options for vegan main dishes such as a burger and pizza but we prefered some typical Greek food so we ordered all the vegan starters on the menu to share: stuffed vine leaves, fava bean mash, olives, spinach pie and pita bread. Vegan options are clearly indicated on the menu. Everything was so well prepared and flavorfull and enough food for 2! The owner was very friendly and told us about the history of the dishes, which was so nice and interesting! The atmosphere was really nice, next to a beautiful lake.

Just coffee - Edit
I only drank coffee here. They only had almond milk, which is my least favourite but I was happy anyway. Very friendly staff. Coffee was good.

Vegan menu - Edit
This is the first place locally that I’ve found to have a vegan menu which is great. I had the pesto pasta and a side of French fries. Huge portions and good service and a lovely location on the lake. The food was nice but nothing to write home about so not sure we’ll return to try the rest of the menu.
Read morePros: First vegan menu I’ve seen in the area, Vegan cheese available

Food was a little disappointing but lovely destination - Edit
Lots of vegan options which is great. Unfortunately the execution of the food was lacking slightly. We had the vegan pizza which had a lovely crust but was cold on the middle and the cheese had been added to the pizza after cooked so was not melted. The pesto pasta was nice although no pine nuts as stated on the menu. Destination was very picturesque and service was friendly.
Read morePros: Picturesque destination, Friendly service
Cons: Food not great

My wife and I were happy that we found vegan lunch in this small lovely town. I had a burger and my wife had a club sandwiches. Both were very nice but the sandwiches weren‘t exactly as described on the menu. Friendly and funny weither. They told us that on most days they have vegan chocolate ice cream, but we couldn’t try it.

Good! - Edit
The food was great and so much, the location was excellent and the staff incredibly nice. When we went to pay, one of the staff let me know that they also have vegan chocolate ice cream and he let me try it. I thought that was super nice, but I was to full to actually get it! It was very good though. They also have vegan milk for coffee.

Bad vegan food, good service - Edit
There are 4 vegan options: the first is a pasta dish that we haven't tried. The other are combinations with beyond yond meat. We have ordered the pizza since didn't know that it was with beyond (a subtatude that we don't like). The pizza is actually a focaccia with some kind of a bad vegan cheese (was hard, tasted awful and didn't melt) and pieces of beyond meat on top. Could not touch it.
Read moreThe servise on the other hand was good and they were very polite even tough it took a very long time for the dish to arrive.
Gave them 2 stars since they were nice. So nice that I have left the dish full and didn't return it.
