Rosebud

I have eaten there 1 time, and it will not become more.
Food was of uneven quality. Some good, some not so. Long waiting times. Worse; people smoked inside even though staff had told us it was forbidden! Greeks lust for smoking is a disease which they will force you to co-have with you. Sad and shameful conduct to smoke indoors when it's not allowed. Staff did nothing to prevent the smokers from smoking as they were probably smokers themselves. Sad indeed.

Fantastic place for a more special dinner. We had artichoke dumplings and mushrums and plums in wine souce with sweet potatoes puree. Food was simply fantastic. We also enjoyed the wine selection. Chocolate tempetation desert was purely delicious.
Service was also great.
High quality place, well worth a visit.

Rosebuds chef NIKOS GAITANOS is the best greek green CHEF.If you want to try fresh Vegan greek souvlaki this is the place. Also amazing menu and friendly stuff

I love Rosebud! It's really your only option in Athens for a more sophisticated vegan/vegetarian dining experience, and luckily, it does the job well.

They have different theme nights, such as vegan sushi night or last week's Dirty Vegan, which offered a selection of street food from around the world. The menu is a bit strange in that is has gourmet cuisine such as lentil mousse tarts next to a vegan hotdog, but I guess there's something for everyone that way and it's all delicious! The food is global with a heavy emphasis on the Mediterranean. They normally have two vegan options for dessert so you should save room.

The atmosphere is funky yet chic, and there is a full bar with a good selection of wine. It's really not expensive at all considering the quality of food and the neighborhood it's in.

I recommend Rosebud to anyone looking for a more gourmet vegetarian experience in Athens. It's definitely a good way to charm a veggie date.

When I went to Rosebud I had their dumplings paired with some white wine and the vegan cheesecake for dessert.

It was all awesome! Fabulously delicious!!!

The staff was friendly and the atmosphere hip. Definitely an "it" spot for vegans in Athens.

If you want to have a nice night out, you cannot beat Rosebud.

UPDATE: I went back again and had the hotdog/sausage with potato shavings and was blown away once again. Simply the best food in Athens. Even though this is not a completely vegan place, and even though Trivoli has the friendliest staff, and even though the prices are a higher than so many other vegan places, I still give this place the top rating for tastiness of food. I will have to go back one more time before I leave just to try another dish.

I definitely recommend this place. Although pricey, they offer a very good variety of vegan dishes. They can veganise almost anything so do not hesitate to ask them to veganise something that is presented as vegetarian on the menu. The staff could have been a little bit kinder but the food makes up for everything. Try vegan gyros souvlaki.... mmmmm loving it !!!

Wonderful and creative dishes by my favorite green-chef Nikos Gaitanos! A bit pricey, especially the salads, but offers enough vegan options, the environment is cosy and staff is friendly.
A restaurant worth visiting even if you are not a vegetarian/vegan.

This is more than a "café bar" as the description says. Its a restaurant. Its a very good restaurant. My husband had the great mushroom burger served with delicous roasted potatoes and a salad with a great vinaigrette.
I had "dubbings" which I think was ment to be spelled "dumplings". Tasty anyhow and filled with mild fenchel. Loved it!
Friendly staff also.

Omg. Go there just for the souvlaki. It's amazing. Seriously.
Great service, large variety of choices, reasonably prices

Good amount of vegan options! I really liked the veggie burger made with mushrooms, great taste!

I really enjoyed having dinner at Rosebud. I tried their pizza, a salad and a curry and everything was tasty and fresh. At the end they provided a digestive sweet drink that I absolutely enjoyed.

Finally a good, high quality vegan place in Athens. Doesn't compare to the rest at all - it's much better!
Service was great, food was tasty and was made by themselves, not store bought. Flavour was good, but could be better, that's the only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5. I recommend to go there anyway.

One of my favourite restaurants! I adore the vegan pizza. I also like the atmosphere of this place and the location is really good -close to panepistimio station.

Nice veg options and yummy vegan pizzas ...

A fantastic restaurant with a good selection of Vegan dishes. I ordered their Vegan Pizza; topped with Tofu cheese, mushrooms and favabean-sausage and was astonished by how tasty the meal was! Each bite was a celebration of my senses. High quality food in a relaxing atmosphere. The waiters were very attentive to my table regularly filling my water without request and I enjoyed a nice conversation with one about the history of the restaurant.
After my meal a complimentary desert was served; a traditional greek sweet called 'Vanilla Submarine' (vanilla fondant on a teaspoon dunked in cold water)

Overall, I would highly recommend Rosebud, the prices are a little steeper than I'm used to but were totally justified by the taste and quality of the food served.

The food is very tasty, there are many vegan options and the staff is very friendly, worth checking out!

My boyfriend and I ate here tonight (last night of a week long trip to Greece) and it was definitely our favourite meal of the week. We ate at a few of the other places listed on Happy Cow for Athens and this meal was far an away the best. Between us we ate sushi, a curry and a burger along with a dessert. All of them were delicious. The service was good and far more attentive than we experienced elsewhere in Greece (constantly topping up our water without being asked for example).

I can highly recommend this place based on what we experienced.

The food is good. the staff is great. has some good vegan options. I tried to order a dish with pesto which said could be vegan. luckily I had a wonderful waiter/cook who informed me that pesto has cheese and offered to make a different vegan sauce for me. definitely worth eating here.
