Rosebud with cigarette smoke - Edit
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.

Outrageously good - Edit
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.
Pros: Great food, Nice place, pricey but worth it

Great place! - Edit
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.
Pros: food, theme nights, atmosphere
Cons: sometimes difficult to get a reservation

Pricey, but the Best Food in Athens! - Edit
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.

Fantastic restaurant with various vegan options - Edit
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 !!!
Pros: variety, flexibility, option
Cons: staff (only in 1 occasion though)

Don't miss it! - Edit
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.
Pros: located in the center of Athens, excellent food
Cons: pricey

Made us sooooo happening! - Edit
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.
Pros: Both fine dining and "junk food", vig portions

Tasty and creative food - Edit
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.
Pros: Delicious food, Friendly customer service

Loved it! - Edit
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.
Pros: High quality, fair prices, tasty food

Best Vegan Pizza! - Edit
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.
Pros: Nice location, Top of the range food, Considerate staff

Outstanding! - Edit
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.
Pros: Delicious food, Vegan dishes clearly marked, Good service

good eats. - Edit
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.
