Vegan Restaurant with all the greek classics

I never thought I would eat Greek food again after going vegan, but my wildest dreams came trough. They have it all: tzatziki, saganaki, pastitsio, Greek salad with feta and more.
Super friendly staff and mostly visited by locals.

Pros: Tzatziki, Antifa stickers in the restrooms

Great food, nice location

The food was awesome. We (three persons) ordered a variety of dishes because everything sounded delicious. We were not disappointed. Tasted great and my two omnivore friends were also super happy with our food. Prices are comparably low which is also a plus. 100% recommendation 💚

Try fried mushrooms and saganaki

In Thessaloniki, there are very few completely vegan restaurants. I tried one of them, #tarantulathessaloniki. We had fried cheese (saganaki), fried mushrooms, and Dakos salad. A single portion is enough for two people, as portions tend to be large in Greece.
Among the dishes we tried, I liked the fried mushrooms the most. They were crispy with a great balance of flavors, offering a mix of tanginess and spiciness.
Saganaki is made from tofu, with a potato mixture on the outside, then it’s fried. It’s crispy on the outside and has a warm, firm cheese texture inside. I had it with lemon and really enjoyed it.
The salad portion was quite large, with a flavorful dressing, making it a satisfying choice. It includes crispy bread within. It’s a salad that can also be enjoyed for breakfast.
The ambiance was lovely, offering both outdoor garden seating and indoor options. The music played was also nice. I would go again and highly recommend it.

Pros: Delicious food, Fair price, Staff

So good!

We went here twice, because we like this place so much. The non-vegans weren't missing anything.

Delish food at a great price

We found the lovely restaurant difficult to find as the name appears only in Greek.
Once found the service was great, relatively large portions (the salad was huge) really tasty and low prices

One of the best spots to eat at in Thessaloniki

I had the best vegan feta in this place. At night it’s really busy but it’s worth the wait. The food is really cheap and absolutely delicious. They also serve wonderful vegan tzatziki and the staff is really nice. Definitely will go back there if I ever go to Thessaloniki again.

Pros: Vegan feta , Cheap and delicious

WOW! Do not skip this restaurant.

I’ve been in Greece a week now, and all the plant-based food is delicious—but Tarantula takes the cake! This was hands-down the best meal I’ve had here, maybe anywhere! 😍😍😍

Pros: AMAZING food! , Lovely, relaxed vibe, Affordable prices

Good food for a great price.

The whole menu is very affordable. My partner and I split the sandwich with the sautéed mushrooms, eggplant dip, black eye pea salad, and the potatoes with lemon. Really enjoyed everything, but the potatoes were my least favorite. Would pass on them if we went back.

Best nuggets of my life

Let’s say you only happen to have one day in Thessaloniki, with time for one meal to eat while you’re there. Go to Tarantula and make it the mushroom nuggets and I promise you will not regret this.
Without a doubt the best nuggets I have ever had; we went back a day later to get three more servings, because they were just incredible.
Staff is super friendly and the place is really cute, definitely something I will revisit my next time in Thessaloniki!

Pros: Absolutely delicious, Friendly staff, Good prices

Amazing food, exceptional prices!

Me and my husband visited the place; in fact we are still here as we are writing this review, which shows how much excited we are!
We were super hungry so we basically ordered the whole menu pretty much and everything was delicious! Highlight for us was the mushroom bites - not to be missed!!!

Pros: menu, vibe, prices

Cons: none

Worth a try

The place is far from being a tavern, except the choice of drinks. I liked the atmosphere and staff, unfortunately food is average, which is also caused by very modest kitchen. I'm sure that with better location, the potential of this concept can bloom a lot 🙂

Pros: Atmosphere , Choice of drinks , Location

Fantastic!

Went to Tarantula with four non-vegans and they were all really impressed with the hotpot and lemon potatoes. My meal was fantastic - vegan cheese balls and beanball club sandwich (comes with crisps/chips). All meals were very filling and we had a wonderful evening toppled off with a lovely soya cappuccino in a pretty mug 😁

Pros: The food , The atmosphere , The staff

Cons: Smaller venue so may need to wait to sit at busier, Not a con but note there is a lovely dog

Really good

I really liked the fried vegan feta cheese. I has the hot pot for the main course but found it a bit too cheesy and one-dimensional. Nice place though; would recommend.
