More than delicious! - Edit
We went for some sweet but made it all the way.
Read moreWe had a salat with avocado, seaweed and mango and the maincours a mousaka and risotto, the most amazing one we’ve ever had. So pure, tasty and perfect🙃
The sweets we took with us, just eat the cheesecake and carrotcake. We are in heaven🩷
We definitely are coming back this week and really can recommend you this vegan hotspot

Brilliant place, do not miss. - Edit
After finding that most places are closed in April, I was incredibly lucky to find that Pulse reopened for the season today, my first full day in Chania. The food was so fantastic, I was honestly moved by the harmony of flavours and textures in the utterly divine mushroom medley. Which is not to ignore the delicious vegan eatball starter, which was also very rich and textually highly satisfying.
Read moreIn addition, I was given some wonderful samples, as well as incredibly warm and friendly service and conversation. I'll be going back several times over the course of my trip!
Pros: Amazing food, Wonderful people, Good prices

Fantastic! - Edit
We went here all the time during our stays. Great variety of options, really good food. Right on the edge of the historic city center, so it’s not so hectic. Very friendly owner. Looking forward to coming back

Smacznie, ale drogo - Edit
Jedzenie samo w sobie dobre, chociaż MEZE, mimo bardzo dobrego smaku - było w małej ilości w mojej opinii, za to danie główne (beefless beef) było już dość duże i aromatyczne - za to bez warzyw. Cenowo - dość dużo (MEZE 15 euro, beefless beef 10).
Read moreA, no i jako jedyne miejsce odwiedzone na Krecie nie zaserwowano na koniec "od firmy" słodyczy/owoców i napitku w postaci Raki - dziwne, bo to jednak tradycja na Krecie...
Updated from previous review on 2023-10-20
Pros: Ciekawe smaki, Beefless beef w czerwonym winie mega aromatyczne
Cons: Cena, Wielkość MEZE w tej cenie, Brak "deseru od firmy"

Delicious vegan food in Chania Old Town - Edit
As many other reviewers are syongy, the food here is incredible. We had the meze, hummus, quinoa salad, "beef" dish, and cheeseburger and all was excellent. Recommended to vegans and non vegans alike

Delicious food, slow service - Edit
Came here for dinner before hitting Chaniá town, as I'd found it on this app and was excited to have one night where the entire menu would be available for me to choose from.
Read moreWe were taken to an outside table with a great atmosphere, and ordered wine to share before deciding to order a few small plates.
I have never been a fan of cheese, but we ordered the courgette flowers anyway. If you like that sort of thing I'm sure they're great, although personally I could have done with much less cheese.
It's been a few weeks so I can't remember everything else we ordered, but the potato cakes, falafel, and "meat" balls were especially delicious. The asparagus with pistachio was also fantastic.
The service was polite, though slow at times, and after asking for the bill a couple of times I did eventually have to go up to the bar and ask to pay,though they were apologetic.
Overall, very good food and well worth a visit!
Pros: Tasty food, everything vegan, Predominantly Greek cuisine
Cons: Slow service

Unimaginably tasty - Edit
This place is incredible! I can’t even believe how these people have come up with these amazing recipes! I also like the fact that you don’t just find the usual vegan recipes there. And they are soo tasty!

Excellent food - Edit
The food was great, we tried the starter plate, the cheese burger, the mushroom special and the casserole. We also had cake for dessert. Everything tasted great and was fresh prepared. The kids claimed that it was the best burger they ever had!

Crazy good! - Edit
Greek and vegan food? Not so much. But here at Pulse? Hell, yeah!
Read moreHadn't had such good food in weeks. Vegan or not: eat at pulse. The absolute winner for me is the garlic dip that comes with the falafel. It's not even expensive and two people could fill up on one meze board.

Lots of variety - Edit
Really lovely vegan restaurant, with friendly staff, a varied menu and new specials each day.
Read moreSo good I went twice in one day!
I had the meatballs, polenta and ravioli and carrot cake. I also had a special of vegan feta stuffed vine leaves which was incredible.
Not as "vibey" as other options, but well worth the visit.
Pros: Everything
Cons: Inconsistent opening times

Delicious - you must visit! - Edit
We dined here three times during our holiday and cannot recommend it enough. Highlights were the mixed salad (so simple but such a good mix of vegetables and the light lemony dressing), the meatballs and moussaka. Perfect setting too. Go!

Nice starters ! - Edit
We had a very good moment there. We ordered starters only, we really enjoyed the manchourian meatballs and the roasted asparagus, clearly our favorites. The tomato meatballs and the potato cakes were really good too, the only starter we didn't like was the samossas, a bit "meh" for me.
Read moreWe went back to taste the famous Vegan Souvlaki, which was nice but I was expecting a vegan tzatziki on top instead of a simple coco yoghurt. The giant wrap was really good.
Pros: Delicious starters, Friendly staff, Nice location

Outstanding food - Edit
This place is an absolute gem. My partner had been in chania before I arrived so had been to this place a few times and I think in the week I visited we went 4 times because i wanted to try as much of the menu as I could! There’s an extensive menu that has something for everyone on plus a huge specials menu! In the times we went we tried from the starters menu the meatballs, potato cakes, Manchurian balls, carrot lox, cheese filled zucchini flowers and the seared polenta. I can honestly say I’ve been dreaming about the carrot lox since I came home, it was so refreshing to eat it was amazing! Another favourite was the manchurian balls but every single thing was unreal! From the mains we tried the moussaka, boureki, lasagna, summer greens lasagna, beefless beef stew with mash. My favourite was definitely the moussaka so much so I had it twice but the beefless beef stew is one to try in its rich red wine sauce but again everything was phenomenal. The staff were all so friendly, the service was a little on the slow side but for good food like this it really doesn’t matter it’s worth it.

Get here for breakfast sandwich options! - Edit
All the menu options are delicious we tried most of them over 3 different visits during our stay, but the breakfast sandwiches are an amazing value and they don't have as many customers earlier in the day so it's a peaceful dining time.
Read moreThey switch to dinner menu at noon but can ask the waiter for the breakfast menu until around 4pm. The green goddess was massive and they do really well with faux meat.
Pros: Peaceful, Breakfast value
Cons: Sometimes slow to provide water

Great restaurant! - Edit
Amazing Mezeplate..the aubergines are to die for, and the desert elevates the experienc. Very happy to have had this opportunity to eat at a fully vegan restaurant in a city we have visited many times before going vegan and not missing a thing!
Read moreChocolate cake and lasagne were also highlights.
Also didn't understand that the carafe was not a jug of flavored water to share but a lemonade for one.
Pros: Flavorful dishes , Food not to oily, Non alcoholic - both wine red and white
Cons: Tilted ground makes some tables "interesting" , Staff is not overly friendly/welcoming/servicing

Nice vegan bistro offering traditional dishes. I would like more spices in the food but overall it was nice. Best part were the starters/mezze. Staff could be better organised.
