Wonderful outdoor casual vegan food

This place was great! This was our first and last food stop in Athens. Friendly staff, loved the pita bread, and food was delicious. We had the white sangria, too, which was a bit too sweet but still lovely.

Beautiful, tasty, inspirational

I had a mushroom gyros for starters (flew from Cairo in the morning and had nothing to eat before Athens) which was incredibly good. The bread was soft and fresh, mushrooms super tasty and fresh salad. Served with good sauces (and enough sauce) but also not too wet or soggy. Along with it I had the fresh cocktail juice which was awesome. I still had a bit of hunger so I ordered the bean burger without a side. The burger was great, good ingredients and beautiful garnished plate.

Had a chat with the happy and social people who worked there (seemed like owners?) and we made a good connection straight away.

I can truly recommend vegan beat for genuine tasty and clean food.

Pros: Fresh, Super tasty, Good price

Tired after hiking the Acropolis? Reenergize here!

Directions: Enter the covered alley and up the stairs.

I had the mushroom gyros and I can’t stop thinking about how delicious it was. Only two days in Athens and I might just give in and make the trip back to Vegan Beat again tomorrow. It’s delicious!

Pros: Taste , Location, Service

Cons: Hard to find

We went every day there to enjoy the greek mushroom gyros! My BF is greek and was amazed by the authentic and delicious flavour. The people working there are very sweet and always open to chat a bit.

Prices are very decent! Highly recommendable.

Phenomenal, Astounding, Amazeballs!!!😍

A unique and cosy restaurant with it’s own tricks up its sleeve, at first glance you don’t expect it to be much, but you’ll be pleasantly surprised, the menu listed various vegan options ranging from a Greek salad to mouth-watering Mushroom Gyros and Red bean Burgers, this is a must go place while visiting or simply roaming around Athens.

It’s a cosy get away from the streets of Athens and provides an outstanding friendly atmosphere that will make you feel at home.

I definitely recommend this as place to go to for vegans and non-vegans alike , it’s a place for everyone to enjoy and come to love.

Pros: Mouthwatering vegan deserts ( Cupcakes, Mousse…), The vegan food tastes better than the real thing., Friendly atmosphere and affordable.

Cons: A bit hard to find (Located inside the gallery) , Small area yet cosy

Very nice place

The staff was very friendly and the food was great. This restaurant is in a yard off of the main street, pretty easy to walk by and miss it but definitely worth a visit. Has a few regular seats and more seating on cushions on wood pallets.

Pros: Very good food served quickly.

Wonderful food, friendly service

We went to Vegan Beat after stumbling past it on a walk through the Plaka neighborhood in Athens. We were so glad to find this little gem. Eating vegan or even vegetarian when traveling can be challenging but the service at Vegan Beat was terrific and the food was creative and delicious. We had the Greek gyro, which was so tasty. One of the two workers described it as “an explosion in your mouth” and she was right. Extremely flavorful and filling. We also tried both the desserts: the chili chocolate mousse was tangy and sweet; and the strawberry cheesecake cookie (not a cookie, more of a parfait) was particularly excellent. If you’re vegan (or even if you’re not) check this place out. The service is as good as the food.

Vegan gyro = amazing

Wow, we're glad we stumbled onto the street where we saw the sign for Vegan Beat and then made our way up the stairs to meet Alexander. We really liked him (and even took a photo with him... he is super friendly and fun) and LOVED the mushroom gyro. It's exactly what we wanted. We wish this restaurant had locations throughout every city in the world. Keep up the great work!

A peaceful, friendly haven

Seconds away from the hustle and bustle of tourist streets, this little place is just perfect! Friendly staff, amazing food, great value. I had the mushroom gyros. ... oh my, so tasty! Definitely recommend a visit! As you walk down Pandrossou, away from the Cathedral, look for George's big jewellery shop on the left on a corner. Vegan Beat is up that side street in the inside shopping bit up some steps.

Pros: Friendly people and tasty vegan food. Yum!

Cons: Non
