Glad to find vegan greek food! - Edit
We wanted to eat vegan greek food (Gyros, Greek Salad etc.) and this place had those options! We had the Gyros for breakfast and it was really good. The pita bread was delicious and soft, the mushroom ‚meat‘ well seasoned and with a nice consistency. It‘s a small, cute restaurant where you can sit outside on a small terrace or inside. The owner is very friendly! We will happily come again and try the other dishes:)

Vegan Beat has my heart! - Edit
I can't say enough about Vegan Beat. I'll start with the incredible staff I had the pleasure of meeting - Alex and Tomi. these people are beings of light and show their true core selves for every interaction. you can feel their energy as soon as you walk through the door, and know that they really care about life and vegan food and sharing it all with you. Tomi even drove us home after cooking for us!! the food is fantastic and keeps changing to improve! they even have VEGAN FETA! for a restaurant only open a few months so far, they are killin' it (in a holistically responsible and ethical way of course) thank you so much Vegan Beat.

gyros at last! - Edit
I’ve been looking forward to having a Gyro after seeing friends munching down their own ones here in Greece. Now I’ve had the new and improved vegan version with Oyster Mushrooms!! Bloody brilliant!
Read moreThe whole shop is well thought out with filter water, not bottled, wooden cutlery and compostable take away boxes. The owner is friendly and enthusiastic and makes everything right there in front of you.
I had to try the Greek vegan feta too and was amazed, as were my friends. Great tasting and their Greek salads are fresh and half the price of the other stores.
Great find!

Absolut großartig! - Edit
Wir haben noch nie so gut und preiswert auswärts vegan gegessen, wie bei Alexander. Normalerweise gehört es als Tourist ja dazu, auch die nationalen Gerichte auszuprobieren und die regionale Küche kennenzulernen. In Griechenland als Veganer*in ist das eigentlich unmöglich (Gyros, Tzatziki,...) - nicht aber, wenn man zu VeganBeat essen geht :) Der griechische Salat, der Champignon-Burger und der Erdbeer-Cheesecake waren so unglaublich lecker, dass wir noch Nächte davon träumen werden 😉 unbedingt ausprobieren! Beim nächsten Mal probieren wir das Gyros!

Great food, really nice staff - Edit
We were delighted to see the sign for this vegan restaurant while exploring Athens (the Monastiraki area). The people at Vegan Beat were very friendly. Everyone in my family really enjoyed their food: a "chicken" quesadilla, club sandwich, veggie burger, and gyro. Great options.

Can't recommend this place enough! - Edit
My family and I have tried most things on the current menu during our stay in Athens, and everything is delicious! Particularly recommend the quinoa salad & the cheesecake. Really lovely staff who were keen to help, and the cafe itself has a great vibe. Gutted I don't live in Athens so I can't go all the time!

Amazingly delicious vegan food - Edit
Absolutely scrumptious tomato quinoa and herby-peppery bean salads, mushroom gyro and veggie burger with an exotically dressed salad, sugar-free nutty carrot and date cake and a Greek lotus cheesecake to die for. We were also offered free filtered water, with a view to reduce use of plastic. All for €20, served attentively and with a smile by committed and respectful vegans with a lovely personality.
