Vegan Chef - Edit
De chef van dit leuke restaurant is zelf vegan! Genoeg vegan opties en geen zorgen over bv rijst die gekookt wordt in kippen bouillon of verborgen dierlijke ingrediënten. Een hele gezellige avond gehad en het eten was geweldig! Een echte aanrader!

5 star restaurant - Edit
Yannis and the staff have gone to a great length and effort to perfecting the feel of this place. From greeting to sitting you down and engaging in true conversation, asking you where you want to sit, to serving you bottled water with fresh mint and lemon. Even going to the toilet was an immensely pleasant experience with an massive assortment of commodities ranging from toothpaste, toothpics and floss, to glasses wash wipes, Cotton earbuds, Hair gel, Ect... And we haven't even got to the food.
Read moreDelicious and well presented, my missus who is a gluten free vegan (which is insanely hard finding options for) finally got to try traditional greek dishes thanks to this place, thats something that we will always remember... Lovely night with great food, traditional feel and a crisp bottle of wine.
Pros: Vegan options clearly shown, Gluten free options clearly shown, Great service, and surroundings

Fantastic!!! - Edit
Shame we couldn’t give this establishment the full 5 stars because Yannis and his team deserve it.
Read moreWhile being a traditional Greek taverna the owner is himself vegan so knows exactly what he’s doing when it comes to serving up vegan food.
We liked it so much we went back 3 times in 4 days. On the 2nd and 3rd time Yannis served us the food he himself had eaten that day and it did not disappoint.
The vegan “burger” is hand made from at least 6 vegetables. The moussaka is adapted to be dairy free using fave and sesame seeds to give the topping over a stunning vegetable stew.
Most of his ingredients are home grown or locally sourced…
And, if you’re not vegan, or there’s non-vegans in your party, he caters for them beautifully.
If you are near Malia and you are Vegan stop in and see Yannis… tell him Bobbie and Darren sent you then try and guess the fruit in the dessert he may allow you to try if you are lucky…
Oh, and smile, he LOVES smiley people.
Pros: Stunning vegan food, A chef who understands , A chef who experiments with good food
Cons: Nothing. , Absolutely nothing, Did I say nothing?

Would have given it 5* but Happy Cow won't let me! - Edit
Today we drove to the little beach town of Malia and visited Taverna Eva, a lovely little family-owned Greek taverna that we found on the Happy Cow app. The owner, Ioannis, is vegan and brought us a bunch of his homegrown and homemade vegan specialties to sample. What a lovely man and a wonderful place. I wish we had found it earlier in the week!
Read moreThe food was freshly prepared and all delicious. My husband and I shared the oven roasted okra, beet root with garlic, and a cooked green with courgette (zucchini) Ioannis grew in his garden that I am unfamiliar with. Our vegetarian son ordered the vegetarian bifteki and loved it.
Everything was delicious and had us considering visiting again the same day for dinner!

outdoor seating and ok food - Edit
The food isn’t the best, the fava had no flavor, but this is one of the only places with vegan options in the area and the outdoor seating is very cute!

Simply amazing 🤩 - Edit
After a couple of days of being "okay" with the vegetarian options we had found in Crete this place simply felt like a rescuing shelter. The owner himself is a vegan and only prepares the vegan dishes.
Read moreWe had spinach pide (vegan), Zucchini fritters (vegetarian because of the cheese and hubby loves cheese), vegan beefteki and vegan moussaka. The moussaka was my personal highlight. It had everything and then some. Though options for vegans are limited, there are some and they are amazing. Go there if you're in the area.
Pros: Owner/chef is vegan, Delicious local food
