"Finding a vegetarian restaurant in this meat loving country might not be the easiest, but Avocado is a great option for vegetarian food. The products are with no added preservatives and they try to use as much organic food as possible. The food here is healthy, fresh and tasty and Avocado is well worth a visit even if you prefer meat dishes."

"A creative plant-based meal in a central area of Athens: that’s what you can find at Avocado. It offers fresh and seasonal meals that perfectly suit the owners’ cruelty-free philosophy and lifestyle. Avocado is located only 5 minutes away from Syntagma Square, so it is an excellent place for a quick lunch in the city center."

"Close to Panepistimio metro station, Mama Tierra is a bright and basic vegetarian canteen. The eclectic menu is a journey across continents, taking in sweet potato hummus, vegan moussaka, Pad Thai, burritos and mushroom burgers, washed down with kombucha or green juice. The chocolate, avocado and date smoothies are a meal in a glass."

"Another favorite Athens vegan restaurant, lLocated at one of the most alternative districts of Athens, Mama Tierra. It was created to show people that vegan food can be as delicious!. They use high quality materials and spices as they want to highlight the quality and plethora of Greek products."

"I really don’t know why I was waiting until my very last few hours in Athens to finally go and eat at Mama Tierra. I had my last meal in Athens there. It was quite difficult to choose as they have many meals I’d enjoy but in the end I asked for vegan pad thai salad."

"Hidden at the heart of old Athens, one of the most famous and touristic areas of the city, this beautiful little vegan restaurant is offering wraps, burgers salads and healthy drinks!. Don’t miss the vegan take of the most famous street food in Greece souvlaki, cooked with grilled mushroom yiros, other vegetables and a delicious vegan sauce and of course the famous Greek salad with vegan feta cheese!"

"As far as vegan restaurants in Athens, Greece, Vegan Beat Athens is one of the most well-known for vegan food. Athens' centre is home to a handful of vegan spots and Vegan Beat is one of the most centrally located. Vegan Beat is located inside an old shopping centre (worth a look around, because it's a beautiful old structure) on the upper floor."

"Just saw its sign from the street when taking photos there so I walked up to see what they offer. I only bought a piece of carrot cake which was a bit too dry for me. But maybe because I am used to chocolate cakes or cupcakes which are not really dry but more creamy."

"Map • +30 21 1409 7046 • Nearest Metro: Monastiraki Awesome street food spot for pizza and their signature peynirli (Black Sea style pizza boats) made using a combination of Greek-Turkish and Neapolitan techniques for dough. Everything is cooked to order in an open kitchen and topped with a variety of cheeses, meats, veggies. Dine in or take away."

"The smoky peinirli of Smak is baked in front of your eyes on a hot stone with the most aromatic and delicate handmade fresh pastries of slow maturation. Peinirli mozzarella and kefalotyri, with soutzouki, and mushrooms. For the more daring, try the pork or chicken kalamaki, or with beetroot, lentils, herbs, and yogurt sauce."

"In our opinion, tavernas are the best restaurants in Athens Greece for those who want to eat local food with local people. We ate at several tavernas including Rozalia during our time in Athens. Notable for its prime location in Exarchia, Rozalia has a big open-air dining room as well as several tables on a pedestrian street in front of the restaurant."

"At Not Just Falafel, very close to Syntagma square, you can enjoy falafel made with chick peas grown in the foothills of Mt. Olympus plus a great selection of Middle Eastern and Greek wraps and dishes. Plenty of vegetarian/vegan selections, made with fresh, local ingredients. Enjoy your meal on the bustling pedestrian street in historic downtown Athens or get something to go."

"Falafel house is a small restaurant with just a handful of tables but the food is so worth it. You can or eat there or takeaway. I’ve been there just once but was more than happy with both meals I got."

"You will find it at 27 Nikis street, next to Syntagma square. If you are looking for a bit more sophisticated and gourmet vegan cuisine, this is your spot!. It has been preparing the menu for a year now and the dishes have exceeded our expectations."

"The Italian maestro gelatiere Carmelo Chiaramida brings its expertise to the Greek capital, promising absolutely no artificial colourings or flavours, just gelato that’s churned everyday in Italian fashion. A small artisan cheesemaker in Puglia provides them with fresh ricotta, ricotta di pecora and mascarpone, pistachios come from Bronte, almonds from Avola and the fruit are as fresh as can be. Top Scoops: Crema di mascarpone is spiked with a dash of Marsala wine, the tiramisu is velvety and tasty, and Pulcinella ice-cream, made with fresh ricotta cheese, chocolate flakes and orange is a must-try."

"Ciel opened in 2015, in the center of Athens and is an attractive place for drinks, cocktails and selected music. Located in the picturesque neighborhood of Monastiraki, Ciel became immediately a favorite place to enjoy funky, jazzy, disco and house grooves by resident and guest jockeys. Ciel is ideal for passing the nights in good company, and the unique cocktails combined with the quality music keep the vibes high until the small hours."

"Makalo initially owed its name to a specialty of Northern Greece, a sauce similar to bechamel with garlic, parsley and sweet paprika, which usually accompanies meatballs, fish, eggs and cheese. However the word also means surprise or miracle in some African dialects. The menu is based on value for money dishes prepared with seasonal products and respect for each ingredient."

"Da Panda is a perfect spot to enjoy Chinese food in a relaxed atmosphere. Tucked away on Nikis Street, the restaurant may look unassuming, but this fast-food-style joint knows how to whip up some serious Chinese eats. Serving mouthwatering dishes at affordable prices, it has succeeded in establishing itself as the go-to place for delicious food on the go or for a quick lunch."
