great staff & many options - Edit
The vegan menu has a bit of everything: greek cuisine, international, italian (pasta) and street food. We had the burgers and the grilled vegetables. The vegetable portion was huge and very yummy. The burgers were good but nothing extraordinary. The staff was very helpful when I asked if a cocktail was vegan (it wasn‘t) and they offered me to change it a bit to veganize it, which was very kind! Will defintely come back to taste the vegan dessert and some other dishes. Prices are a bit higher but it‘s also quiet touristy so it makes sense.

So much to love - Edit
Staff at Gemma are not only charming and welcoming but they have an excellent understanding of vegan food.
Read moreWe've been there for lunch and dinner and by day and by night there's a lovely atmosphere, so much calmer than the bustling seafront just around the corner.
It's impossible to choose a favourite dish from the Naxian potatoes, quinoa salad, tourlou and cauliflower on sweet potato purée. All are delicious.
I hope the photos convey what a lovely experience it is to eat here where you'll find the best of Greek hospitality and beautifully presented food.

Watch out for the shisha 😬 - Edit
Came here for dinner and had the club sandwich and quinoa salad. Both were pretty average with the quinoa salad being the nicer option. I did appreciate them carrying vegan cheese for the club sandwich though.
Read moreAfter we were seated, they sat another couple right next to us who only ordered shisha and kept blowing it towards us which was very unpleasant as non-smokers. It isn’t made clear from their profile but this place is primarily a shisha bar.

Thank you for your review, we are sorry for your experience.
Read moreWe wanted to inform you that in Greece smoking is legal in open spaces but of course you could have moved you tabels if you had informed us about your disliking of the smoke.
Shisha is a new addition yo our restaurant the last 3 years in the 10 years we run and the vegan menu 8 years so we are mainly a restaurant .Thank you for the information and we hope to make it up to you .

Best vegan omelette - Edit
I had to come back here several times to enjoy their unique vegan omelette. It was so yummy and such a big portion - definitely good to share. They have a separate vegan menu with so many options. The smoothies were also amazing.

Clear menu, not great food - Edit
I thought it was great that they had a full separate page for a vegan menu and the staff were aware of veganism. The food was a bit disappointing though, both the vegan spinach pie and the cauliflower with sweet potatoes dishes were lacking flavor and neither were filling. They both could have used a sauce or some seasoning. The cauliflower felt old, it was soft and not very warm. I'd recommend choosing other dishes.

Gemma is a Hidden Gem - Edit
Charming and cozy with a separate vegan menu including quinoa salad, vegan (Beyond) meatballs, vegan soups, vegan club sandwich, linguine with meatballs, vegan tiramimmouse with hazelnut and more. Good quality food, fresh and delicious. Full bar. I would give it five stars but it has a full menu for your meat eating companions. Excellent service. Off the busy main drag with good music and even better vibe.

Good, but a little bland - Edit
We had the fried potatoes and they we‘re really tasty but kind of bland if you don‘t eat them with the onions. The club sandwich was also very sweet because of the caramelized onions. I feel like they put in some syrup or sugar so I‘d only recommend it to people who like sweet main dishes. It was a really big portion though so if you‘re really hungry I‘d recommend it. My friend had the roasted cauliflower but it was also pretty bland too. Also the portion was too small for the price you pay. Maybe we didn‘t choose the right meals but it was fine. The staff was really really nice tho. I think the burgers are also a good choice. They looked really good😄

Some good food, some bad - Edit
We ordered the Zucchini noodeles Aglio e olio and the light Club (Sandwiches with Fries). The noodeles were worse than expected, little Taste and very hard.
Read moreThe Sandwiches were very good though.
Lastly a tip: If you are going to order smoothies, tell them to make it a little less sweet than normal.
Pros: Many vegan options
Cons: Zucchini noodles, Slow waiter

Go Vegan No Vegan - Edit
I'm a Vegan food blogger and I've reviewed many restaurants, I've been to Gemma Bistrot and I found it bad. The service is very slow, the music is blaring while you eat. the dishes presented are INDECENT, potatoes and onions were frozen, the zucchini spaghetti should be served cold instead they were hot stews with a flavor I don't like, the vegan omelette did not taste like omelette and was not pleasant on the palate. Approximate dishes, little care, most of the dishes seen on Happy Cow was not the one served. Everyone goes to drink, hardly anyone to dine. Not recommended.
Read moreCons: Service , Option vegan , Music strong
