Come here for the starters

Nice restaurant for the evening. The service ist really nice and attentive. Has a full vegan starter menu of which every item is a great recommendation, whereas the vegan versions of the greek mains fall behind a little and are a little bland. Half a litre of the house wine is 4€.

Pros: Many vegan options, Good value, Vegan options are clearly labeled

Cons: Serves meat, Greek vegan mains can't hold up to the starters

Veal and lamb on menu

We wanted to go for for lunch here, because of the vegan options here. It is true that there is a section on the menu with vegan options, but there is also veal and lamb on the menu. We left disappointed, since we dont want to spend money at a place that buys and sells veal and lamb.
If that is something you dont mind, this might be a good venue for you, otherwise avoid it (sadly, it is hard to find a place in kefalonia without veal and lamb).
Usually I report this type of restaurants to happycow to have them removed (veal and lamb are reasons for not listing a 'veg options' restaurant), but since the possibilities are so little for vegans on the island and this place has a vegan section on the menu, decided not to report it and just write this review instead.

Pros: Vegan section on menu

Cons: Veal and lamb on the menu

Vegan Menu

Lovely restaurant and bar on the "main strip" in Lassi. Seating is upstairs, above a jewellers and clothes store of the same name.

What got our attention was the sections of the menu clearly marked vegan. We visited on our last night and got a little carried away, ordering 5 starters and one main and a salad between 2, forgetting there would be complimentary bread! They have veganised versions of some classic Greek dishes, as well as the usual dishes that are already vegan.

We had: stuffed vine leaves, fava with capers and caramelised onions, mushrooms in white wine garlic and thyme, battered courgettes and aubergines, chips (we're British), a Mediterranean salad with dill, and the vegan moussaka. The staff seemed pretty amused at how much we ordered, obviously knowing that the portion sizes are generous! They were, like all people we met on Kefalonia, friendly and laid back. We weren't rushed to finish, which was helpful given the challenge we set ourselves! They kindly boxed up what we couldn't eat so we could take it away.

The moussaka is pure comfort food and if any supermarket sold this version in the UK, I'd live off it. A perfect mix of beautifully seasoned aubergines with a light but satisfying white sauce.

The addition of caramelised onions to fava isn't something I've tried before, but imo this should be standard! They lift the texture and balance the flavour of the split pea mix.

The vine leaves were delicious, and served with lemon, which seems to be standard in Kefalonia.

The fried aubergines and courgettes were lovely, probably a little too much for us with the chips as well! The batter was light and crispy and didn't leave much oil on the plate. They could do with the addition of an umami sauce, maybe something like tzatziki, as a starter just of these would be difficult to eat without something to cut through the oil.

The mushrooms in white wine, garlic and thyme seems to be a Kefalonian dish as we saw it everywhere we went on the island. As people that would happily eat mushrooms at every meal, we were not disappointed.

The salad was light and refreshing, although it's a full size, huge bowl, so if you're planning to stuff your face the way we did, maybe ask for a side salad instead!

The bread was lovely, when we finally got to it the next day!

With a litre of wine and all of the above, the total bill was €46, which is an absolute bargain.

Da Veronica's is a must visit. It was lovely to eat at a restaurant that understood what a vegan is!

Pros: Great staff, lots of clearly marked vegan options.

Cons: Overlooks the main road, so ask to sit at the back
