Perfect! - Edit
A very cute and cozy restaurant, not very far from the seaside. The food was very delicious and filling. Enjoyed looking around the place and liked the small touches, such as fairytales about love for animals and the elephant theme in all shape and form 🐘😍 the owner was very friendly and we enjoyed talking to her a lot! it's a shame that the restaurant is closing, would definitely come back otherwise 🧡

Amazing - Edit
The place is not to big and verry cozy. We ate some really tasty food and i went there with people who all eat meat and stuff and they also loved it! Really recomend it if youre visiting tesaloniki. Also the people who own the place are verry sweet. If you go there i recomend or the vegan gyros, or the chicken burger!

Nice ,but nothing special - Edit
Nothing special . Too expensive and very small portions . As for the taste is good . Didn't like that much seitan schnitzel but tofu balls were very tasty . Also they have an offer for students and the lady that works there tried to not give us the changes from the offer ,and I only took them after I asked for them 2 times .

Absolute 5 star (I’d give more if I could) - Edit
Such a lovely eatery! The staff is very kind and happy to help with any questions. There’s all kinds of books around about animals and veganism you can read through while you’re waiting for your meal. And the space looks very child friendly too. Your kids won’t get bored. The food was amazing and the prices were really good. We ate lunch here and also ordered take away.

Clever, healthy, ethical, delicious - Edit
Superb food and a wonderful cafe. Emphasis on the organic, non-GMO, and locally sourced. Genuinely impressive range of ingredients and types of food, and all of it tasty, satisfying, and nutritious. Very nice staff, and the cafe is filled with little promotions for help with veganism in Greece. Atmosphere and little touches were delightful, and lots of effort has clearly gone into being eco friendly. The value for money is also excellent, low cost / high quality. Overall, absolutely worth the walk along the seafront to get to.

Tasty smoothies - Edit
Tasty smoothies and desserts. Wanted something fresh so ordered a chickpea salad However this was not a salad (How I imagined it) it was a creamy cold "mush" which was Tasty However a bit misleading. My company ordered a vegan gyros wrap which was the best we tried.

Friendly and fabulous - Edit
A wonderful find in Thessaloniki, really close to the seafront and a lovely walk from the city centre along the promenade. There is a great menu in Greek and Englih which cover lots of different tastes plus daily specials. The meals I have eaten here have always been tasty and fresh. My favorites are the gyros and the green tofu tortilla, sooooo healthy and tasty.... could eat them every day! Friendly and has a lovely home feeling to it, and there are elephants to cuddle! Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Fabulous in every way.
Read morePros: Great menu. Friendly staff. Lovely place to chill.
Cons: Absolutely nothing!

cute place with lots of options - Edit
Really friendly service and cute interior. The food was good but the gyros slightly too salty and the dumplings a little sour. Many foods come with ginger. They offer a wide variety of cuisines and dishes of the day so there is a lot to choose from. They try to buy organic and locally produced. They say to inform the staff about food allergies and sensitivities, which is really considerate. They also offer a 10% discount to students and the unemployed. All in all a place that I enjoy supporting.
Read morePros: super friendly service, many different choices, discount for students
Cons: some of the flavours are a bit too intense

Thank you very much for your review!We are glad you enjoyed your meal in our restaurant and that you appreciate our efforts to satisfy our customers! However, we have some dishes that they need to be cooked with more spices or salt than others but you can always ask us not to put something you don't like :)
