Great flavours and kind staff!

We got a bread basket with vegan tzatziki without even asking - the man was so sweet and offered us the vegan menu before we even asked. We shared cheesy chips (the cheese was crumbles but tasted great) and I had a mushroom souvlaki (verrryyy messy but so filled!) and my partner got the beyond meat souvlaki (she said it was great). The guy also gave us a free little vegan chocolate dish at the end without us asking - amazing! Prices were good too. The only thing I was surprised at is that it is inside a meat/fish serving restaurant called Med Food, but also has Veganissimo inside too as a separate menu? Didnt bother us though as there is the full separate menu.

BEST VEGAN Greek + Italian FOOD EVER!

Also known as “Med Food” on google maps

YOU haveeee to go here! We went twice- and it’s so affordable and the food is to die for🤤

It’s amazing bc you can take your non vegan friends and they still have a whole separate regular menu for them- full of real meat and cheese dishes.

The Vegan Carbonara 🍝pasta was the most CREAMY and most real I have ever tasted! (Better than an upscale restaurant in Toronto twice the price)

Vegan Zucchini Gyros 🥙 was incredible! They replaced the raw tomatoes with cucumbers for me easily.

Vegan Cheesecake 🍰 - it tasted so authentic!! Highly suggest 😍

My non vegan friend had the margarita pizza 🍕 and it was SO CHEESY and looked like incredible dough that was fluffy!

I also love how they do not combine the gluten free with the vegan. As you will see a lot of restaurants do that in Greece and so the vegan pizzas usually have bad crust.

ALL the staff are incredibly KIND and thoughtful!

Support these guys! Bc they did it for the animals and it’s authentic! As the owners mom cooks all the food from 6 am - 11 am everyday, that’s why it’s so fresh!

Pros: vegan carbonara pasta , Vegan gyros , Friendly warm spirited team

Excellent moussaka

The vegan moussaka was delicious. The vegan menu was extensive but there was also a meat menu, like two restaurants in one. Service was a bit slow the day we were there.

Pros: Yummy food

Cons: On busy street, Has a “normal” menu as well

Not to miss!! - BEST in Santorini

The owner and workers are incredibly kind and welcoming. They will feed you the most delicious vegan dishes! We loved the pita and tzatziki as well as the zucchini and tomato balls and falafel. The millefeuille with roasted vegetables is a must try.
Wholeheartedly recommended, good prices, great quantities and very warm atmosphere. The best vegan food you can find on the island by far!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Great prices and quantities , Delicious food

Two restaurants in one

We went looking for veganissimo and almost missed it because it seems to be two restaurants in one. The larger sign says “Med Food” and that menu is omnivorous. Veganissimo is part of this restaurant. When you sit down they ask which menu you would like. The veganissimo menu is completely vegan. We had the tomato and zucchini fried balls as starters and the moussakas and Cretan pasta as mains. We also received two amuse bouche (with starter and with the bill as desert). The food was excellent and there was plenty choice! A highlight was having a vegan tzatziki.

Pros: Vegan menu, Fried balls, Cretan pasta dish

Cons: Hard to spot the veganissimo sign

Lovley place, great food and kind people! Panos🫶🏻

If I could give the service even more I would. I got the Vegan beyond meat SOUVLAKI and it was amazing! I wish I knew about this place before! Also I got zukini and tomato balls that were great. The vegan tzatziki is fire! Wow I loved it. Thank you Panos for being so kind to my boyfriend and me.

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Great service

Best authentic Greek food!

I’m so happy we came here because so far it has been the best restaurant we’ve eaten at in Santorini. It has all the traditional Greek foods on the menu - Greek salad with vegan feta, moussaka, gyro, souvlaki, the tomato and zucchini fritters, fava dip, vegan tsaziki, baklava…the owner was very nice, told us about each food item, they’re his moms recipes. Awesome! Definitely coming back tomorrow

Pros: Good quality home cooking recipe , Authentic Greek food (I think, I’m not Greek), Inexpensive

Good food but a bit confusing...

The establishment houses two restaurants; Veganissimo and something else. I was confused at first because the other restaurant is not vegan and the menu offers both. The vegan menu is towards the back of the menu. But the food was good and filling. They also gave me a vegan jello for dessert after the meal.

Updated from previous review on 2023-09-28

Pros: Seperate vegan menu items

Cons: Not 100% fully vegan since it shares with another

Authentic Greek Food with Vegan Optionz

I ate here a few times while in Santorini. A good selection of delicious vegan options. The wait staff and owner were friendly. The owner stopped at our table multiple times while we dined, gave us free vegan baklava, and 10% discount cards for our next visit. Even though it’s not 100% vegan, it was the perfect choice for me and my friends since not everyone in our group was vegan, so it offered a nice balance for us.

Pros: Nice selection of vegan options; including dessert, Tasty, Authentic

Deceiving, they serve animals…

I found this place in Google where it’s posted as a fully vegan restaurant. Here in Happy Cow as a vegetarian restaurant. Upon arrival we even asked the girl outside if they were fully vegan and she confirmed…
But it’s neither vegan or vegetarian, I couldn’t believe it when I saw all kind of animals offered in the menu… They serve meat, fish, diary and eggs… So we were pretty disappointed and felt deceived by the advertisement.

We had very limited time so we stayed to try the food. If you look at the vegan options, it’s really amazing, they have a lot of options of traditional Greek food veganized and even vegan desserts. We tried a few things and everything was really good and the prices are very reasonable for Santorini.

It’s just a pity that they promote themselves as a vegan or vegetarian restaurant when they are not. Otherwise they would easily deserve a 4 out of 5 in Happy Cow. Many options, good food and good prices.

Cons: They serve meat, fish, diary and eggs.

Would make for amazing drunk food

Santorini can be an expensive place to visit, but this place is super reasonable with their prices. We ordered souvlaki and it was really good! Staff were proud to work there, enthusiastic and hospitable. We got a free slice of cake. No complaints.

Tasty vegan food

Lots of vegan options on the veganissimo menu. The complimentary homemade bread and tzatziki was delicious and fresh. We had the moussaka and the mushroom gyros and both were great. We even went back again for lunch for the courgette balls, vegan salad and vegan baklava - the baklava was amazing and worth going just for that! The staff were all very friendly and gave us a discount the second time. Would recommend this restaurant for either lunch or dinner, and definitely for dessert!

Great vegan choices!

In the MED FOOD restaurant they have Veganissimo menu which is 100% vegan.
Tasty option! I had fava beans (which is a fava purée really nice and good source of proteins), the avocado toast, oven potatoes, falafel and a salad.
Nice food, not in the centre but a good options for vegans

Pros: Salads choices, Vegan desserts

Cons: Every part in Santorini is expensive

Good vegan food but not 100% vegetarian/vegan

Veganissimo is the vegan menu of a non-vegan restaurant called Med Food - Greek Cuisine, which offers fish and meat cooked in the same kitchen. It's quite confusing at first (Happycow should reclassify it as veg-friendly), but you're quickly conquered by the vegan menu, which is quite large, by the tzatziki offered as an appetizer and by the very tasty dishes. We tried a gyros, an avocado toast and a vegan eggplant and feta dish (excellent!). The prices are reasonable and the service was quite efficient. We only regretted the busy road (from the bus station) at the height of the season, as we were eating outside. Still, this restaurant is a must for any vegan on Santorini.

Pros: tasty vegan options, convenient location, good service

Cons: serves meat & fish (separate menu but not kitchen), on a pretty busy road (with regular bus and cars)

I'm a vegan food blogger and I've reviewed more than 100 vegan restaurants and I can assure you that this one is really tasty. the structure is well-kept, pleasant and fast table service, the dishes are cared for, made with love and decidedly tasty. I recommend it and will definitely go back. Follow me on IG: Eating Vegan Naples

Best meal in Santorini

It was tricky to find as not called Veganisimo on the outside. It is a green coloured restaurant and half is Veganissimo. Lovely staff. Cafe feel, so not fine dining but the falafel and the mushroom souvlaki was delicious. Pizza was good. Also had the vegan baclava which was massive and fed us 3! Really reasonably priced.

So good!

I stayed in Greece for 10 days, and the vegan souvlaki (with falafel) there was the best meal of my trip. I literally went there 3 times because the food was too good and not expensive. I also had the moussaka which was good but honestly the vegan souvlaki is one of the best meal I ever had and it’s very sad that I may not ever eat it again.

Pros: Food, Staff, Price

Didn’t like it

We were excited to try this restaurant, but everyone in my group of 4 found the food to be very bland and not very fresh and the menu and name confusing. I believe this place is no longer vegan nor vegetarian despite the name since there was meat and fish on the menu…

Cons: No longer vegan nor vegetarian (serves meat), Not very tasty
