Great mix of traditional Greek and contemporary vegan!

Visiting Norfolk VA from out of town, I enjoyed a great dinner here this evening with four fellow vegan friends who live in the area. I was really impressed that a classic Greek restaurant, in business for over 50 years, has recently updated their menu with a full page of vegan options! The food was tasty and filling, the atmosphere charming, and the service friendly and efficient! Our table shared a plate of the Gigantes appetizer -- Elephant beans stewed in a light tomato sauce. I ordered the Corfu "Chicken" Sandwich topped with roasted red pepper, caramelized onions, and vegan cheese & tzatziki sauce. (The restaurant uses Hungry Planet as its chicken substitute, and Follow Your Heart or VioLife for cheese.) Yum!

Great Greek Food

Orapax is a hidden gem that’s been here for years. We heard recently that it had an extensive vegan menu, and it really delivered! Our family is a mix of vegans & omnivores, so we always appreciate restaurants that offer great vegan options as well as meat-based food. Everyone in our family was happy.

We really appreciated that the entire back page of the menu was filled with a broad array of vegan options. Rather that being limited to a token vegan option or the opportunity to veganize something. There were multiple vegan appetizers, salads, wraps, burgers, pizzas, a pasta dish, chef special entrees, and desserts. We were overwhelmed with options! My vegan gyro was fabulous & my husband loved his pasta bowl. The vegan dolmades also were great. We really wanted to try the vegan baklava or brownie, but were too full. Servings were large, & we both have leftovers to enjoy for lunch.

We will return—for sure!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Tasty food

My new favorite place

Their Beyond Burger is off-the-charts fantastic. Combine it with the seasoned fries (get them extra well done--crispy perfection), and the brownie for dessert (warm and luscious), and you have a kickass comfort meal. Their other vegan dishes are good too, like the chicken parm pasta, chicken gyro, meatball pizza, and chicken pizza. The vegan menu has now been integrated into the regular menu (it's the back page), and the staff even wears t-shirts advertising their vegan-friendliness. We'll be coming a lot more often!

Pros: Wonderful food, Good ambience, Friendly staff

Cons: Tiny bit pricey
