MOUSSAKA!

Too bad they are closed!

Went here 3 years back, we came here several times especially for the moussaka, it's really good, creamy and yummy.

The burger was good enough.

The guy there was super friendly :)

Great for snacks on little trips through the city

(I was here in February 2018)

This place has many easy-to-take vegan options, from pizza slices to pies. Very tasty, a bit pricey, but I think it's worth it!

Pros: Easy to take away, Yummy

Cons: A bit pricey

Good

The service is great. I had a lentil salad that was not very tasty and a (very) green juice. My family tried other plates and really likesd it so I guess it depends on what plate you choose. The spot is nice but they only use non recyclable plates and glasses.

Pros: Lot of options , Nice spot, Great service

Cons: Some plates aren’t very tasty, They use non recyclable plates...

Tasty takeaway food

Great little restaurant in the centre of Athens with excellent customer service. I had the mushroom gyros- it was absolutely delicious. Really juicy with plenty of sauce, and you can tell the veggies/ wedges were freshly cooked. The portion size was satisfying enough, though I couldn't help but to order more wedges with garlic mayo. The wedges were perfectly crisp and fluffy, the garlic sauce seemed home-made. I was stuffed by the end but it was absolutely worth it.

Pros: 100% vegan, fresh food, great customer service

Cons: limited seating

A real treat

Awesome, quirky hole in the wall with many options, including Kombucha, which I have been missing. I went twice in 24 hours and tried about 6 different items on the menu. The jackfruit tacos are unreal

מעולה!

מאוד נחמדים ואדיבים, מנות טעימות ביותר! לא גדולות כל כך אבל גם לא יקרות. נהננו מטעם מקומי וגם צמחוני!

Okay value, all right food

Their mains taste good, but are rather small and uneventful for what you’re paying. The nachos we ordered were just some kind of puff pastry - quite a disappointment but they tasted all right - and the sauce was very nice. They serve everything in plastic or carton, even if you sit down to eat. Vegan Nation mainly does take away, but still, that was a bummer.

Pros: Tasty food, Lots of options for such a small café, Very central

Cons: Not the best value, Everything‘s served for take away

Tasty Tasty, Just Don't Get Locked in the Bathroom

Seriously, the bathroom was clean and nice, but I couldn't open the door. It had to be done with. key! Haha. But anyway, in Athens again this past late summer, I finally had a chance to stop in here. The moussaka was delicious and the tiramisu was outstanding. My wife wasn't as crazy about the chia breakfast bowls, and it is a tiny space - better to pick up and carry out than planning to eat there. The service was great, and I wish I could remember the name of the young woman who took our orders. Her English was perfect, which is great since my Greek is bad. This place is conveniently located for touristy things, so after you've done your due diligence walking throgh Thisio and arond Acropolis, you can pop in here for a truly tasty cold or hot meal or snack.

EDIT: they have changed to more of a sit-down space, and the tiramisou is, alas, gone. The American style hot dog is super, if a little small -- a marinated carrot in a bun with ketchup or mustard. And they have MILKSHAKES! I highly highly continue to recommend Vegan Nation a year after my first visit.

Pros: Location for tourists, Wonderful service, Yummy food - ALL VEGAN!

Cons: Small space, not easy to eat in, If keys confuse you, getting out of the potty!, No more tiramisu

Great

Small , minimal store
Has some tables outside and some counters inside
Employees were all very kind and the food was amazing ( we tried burger , souvlaki ( gyro) and brownies)
Will visit again to try more
It' d be great if they had stores like that locally besides the center of the town
You can see this store was made with love

Pros: many food options , tasty food , affordable, friendly staff

Cons: not enough space for tables inside(not important)

My no.1 veg*n restaurant in Athens

All-vegan fast-food restaurant in a busy neighborhood of Athens. Has very few tables, mostly for takeaway. We had the souvlaki and the burrito 2 smoothies. All was very good and tasty. The staff is super friendly and the place sells funny T-shirts. Of the veg*n restaurants I have been to in Athens, this is my preferred one.

Pros: Cheap, Super friendly staff, Great food

Great fast food spot

Delicious fast food right next to Monastiraki metro. Tried tortillas, shawarmas and our favorite the souvlakis. Great place to grab some fast good and a coffee while exploring the city.

Nice food

Could do with more sauces on the taco bowl as the rice to filling ratio is sparse but otherwise tasty food at a reasonable price!

Delicious vegan and gluten free

So happy about this place in Athens! We stopped for a quick bite and were happy to find they serve gluten free options. I had Lebanese chicken wrap with a gluten free wrap and my husband tried the American Style Jackfruit burger. The food is simply delicious and the staff is super friendly. I highly recommend it.

Pros: Delicious food, Gluten free options, Great price

Great smoothie

Had a protein shake that was delicious, staff super friendly. Good casual food options. Better for causal and quick lunch or dinner than for breakfast as there aren’t really breakfast items.

Very cute, clean, friendly and above all, excellent food.

Tried a variety of dishes and all of them were very tasty (even the non-vegans said so). Definitely one of the best vegan restaurants in town.

Good

They don't have a standard menu so unfortunately a dish that I wanted to try was not available that day.
The food is tasty but everything is wrapped in plastic even if you don't want take away. It is something worth considering to change.

100% vegan place-Center of Athens.

cool place, nice vegan and quite tasty options but I hate the fact that they use so much plastic and they don't recycle! :(
Food is tasty, yeah, but junk food... not the best quality. But I would try it once in a while, if I find myself in the center of Athens (monastiraki) and I am hungry! :)

At least they deliver their food by bicycle. That's nice!

Pros: Really Cheap, Bicycle delivery, Nice variety of Vegan Options

Cons: They don't have VegLifeFest Members Card, Not plastic free

Vegan Souvlaki — Enough Said

Omg the souvlaki was SOOOOO good. So fun that I could try a traditional Greek dish as a vegan. So glad this place exists. :)
