Good Food - Edit
As others have said it’s a bit confusing as it’s actually called Med Food rather than Veganissimo. Once I’d figured that out all was good. Separate vegan menu but somethings do have honey. Had the aubergine saganaki which just melted in your mouth, & the tomato balls & fava beans. Staff very friendly
Read morePros: Aubergine saganaki, Friendly staff
Cons: Fava beans a bit of a disappointment unfortunately

Nice place confusing menu, friendly staff - Edit
They have several kinds of violife vegan cheese! So cool! The food was nice, but it's more of a meat restaurant with a huge vegan menu than anything else... Even the vegan menu has honey. It's still a great find!

Confusing business model - Edit
Vibes were strange at this establishment. Server disclosed that everything was vegan but there are earthlings like fishes and chicken being served. He didn’t explain that the space was shared with med food. Food was pricey compared to similar items in Oia. Got the Santorini salad and a beyond meat souvlaki. The salad was good but expensive and the souvlaki was a beyond burger with fries in a wrap.
Read morePros: Good salad
Cons: Expensive

Seperate vegan menu and knowledgable staff - Edit
Many options, staff are lovely, no fully vegan restaurants close by so this one was the best we could find and we left happy. Great to be able to get a gyro whilst in Greece.

Cute cafe with great vegan menu - Edit
We walked from Imerovigli to Fira one morning and stopped here for lunch. They have a vegan or a regular menu. The owner was very nice and helped us pick out his favorite items. They had some vegan versions of Greek staples. We loved the tomato fritters and beyond Souvlaki. The fava was the best I had on our entire Greek vacation!

Disappointing to be charged for something not ordered - Edit
My partner refuses to go back as they brought us bread with vegan tzatziki on arrival when we didn’t ask for it. Then they charged us €3 for it. I ordered zucchini balls and they brought zucchini and tomato balls. The zucchini balls were nice but I wasn’t so crazy about the tomato ones which was frustrating then. The menu is super messy with things crossed off on every page. The space is nothing special. They did give a nice chocolate orange and biscuit dessert complimentary and a 10% discount card for our next visit. Unfortunately we were already put off by being force fed things we didn’t want and then charged for it. I wanted to try their vegan moussaka so it’s a shame.

It was fine - Edit
Reasonable prices for reasonable food. They had run out of our first choices so we ended up with food not quite to our tastes.
Read moreService was OK. Wine was fine. Portions were generous on the mains.
It’s right by a busy road so might be good to have a seat inside because the smell of petrol took away from the night somewhat.
Pros: Generous portions , Central location
Cons: Coconut oil cheese substitute used , Traffic (foot and cars), Honey in the baklava

Vegan Greek classics - Edit
Veganissimo is part of Med Food which serves meat, but they have a separate vegan menu with classic dishes including moussaka (highly recommend!), souvlaki with either falafel or various fake meats, and baklava. We were also given a complimentary mini dessert at the end! I would definitely return if I was staying longer in Santorini.
Read morePros: Options on the menu., Food was delicious!

Possibly NOT VEGAN! - Edit
Happy Cow said this was closed so I didn’t pursue going here. I found out it was open on my last day so visited. I am vegan and chose the vegan moussaka. It was tasty but more like a lasagna. It had no potato, couldn’t see any aubergine and had a pasta base. Having just read reviews on TripAdvisor (see Jane Oct 23) one customer asked to see their ingredients list and found out their supposedly vegan products contain cows milk! This is appalling if true. (I wonder if the owner wanted it marked as closed on here if it is disingenuous!). I will leave a review on TA too to hopefully warn other fellow vegans.
Read morePros: It was tasty but now scared it wasn’t vegan!, Friendly & efficient service.
Cons: Might not be vegan despite saying it is!, They give you yummy bread but chg., Some quite pricey items.

Eh - Edit
I generally give out pretty good reviews that are honest if they are positive, but I have to give my opinion this one unfortunately. Food was not really good. The vegan carbonara was overly salted and tasted like box white cheddar Mac and cheese. The tzatziki was pretty good but the tomato fritters were just okay. Our meals came out before our appetizers and coffees. Very odd. The owner said he would give 5% off if we gave a good review.

Lots of traditional Greek vegan dishes - Edit
Friendly service and reasonably priced.
Read moreThere is a whole vegan menu (probably the biggest I have seen in Santorini so far). Mainly Greek food as well as pizza and burgers.
My personal favourite was the saganaki.
Highly recommend.

Lots of Good Vegan Options - Edit
This restaurant shares the same space as a non-vegan Mediterranean restaurant. The vegan menu is extensive with moussaka, gyros, lasagne, pasta, salads, fritters, baklava, etc. The server Alex was very friendly.
Read moreIt’s not the most creative food but its tasty and having a reliable vegan place with variety is a godsend in Santorini unless you want to eat falafels for every meal

Gut und angemessene Preise. - Edit
Das Essen war sehr gut und die Preise waren okay. Man läuft nur schnell vorbei, da der Name klein geschrieben ist. Am besten orientiert man sich an den gelben Stühlen.

Weird place and the food was not great - Edit
The place (Veganissimo) does not really exist. It's the restaurant "Med Food", and only if you ask for vegan do you get the menu of "Veganissimo". (Which is why we almost didn't find it.) So it's just a normal restaurant with a vegan menu. OK. No big deal, if that's how they organise themselves. But then the food was not really great and I regretted not having tried another of the (actually vegan) restaurants on my list. The location is also not great, right by the main street with all the traffic. I would not go there again.

The most disgusting dish ever - Edit
I’m vegan for 10 years with very low standards in food and the Mushroom Gyros in this restaurant was the most disgusting thing I have ever tasted. I was with nausea the whole day. It ruined my love for mushrooms for ever.
Read morePros: Free bread with Tsiziki for starters, The chips
Cons: The mushrooms, The high price, The surrounding.

Plenty of traditional Greek vegan options - Edit
This was the visit we were probably most excited about based on previous reviews & the pure abundance of options. It’s in a good location near the the bus station although could probably do with some slightly better signage. We had the tomato fritter & a Greek salad to start, followed by a falafel & mushroom souvlaki plate. This was way too much food as the portion sizes are very generous. The food was tasty, although I would say I’d had better gyros at other omni places in town, the tomato fritters were tasty but overly greasy on this occasion. I think it’s fairly priced for what you get but compared to other food we’ve had in the area it’s slightly on the pricey side. The complimentary bread with tzatziki to start & chocolate torte nibbles at the end were a welcome treat. A good experience but the anticipation from what I’d seen and read beforehand made me feel just ever so slightly underwhelmed.

Great options- if you ask for the vegan menu! - Edit
We stopped at this place for a quick lunch while passing through Fira due to the great reviews. We were a little confused as the restaurant goes by “Med Food” and “Veganissimo”. We sat down and were given menus that clearly had meat and dairy on the menu.
Read moreWe asked our sever if this was vegan, and he had to swap out the menus. So make sure to ask for the vegan menu when you arrive!
From there the experience was good. We ordered the Veganissimo salad which was lettuce, pomegranate seeds and fig- delicious and a large portion. We also got the beyond souvlaki. Basically pieces of beyond burger with potato’s, tomato, and tzatziki on pita- didn’t blow our minds but still tasty for two people who are hungry😄
Some of the reviews noted the menu was expensive but I find it to be comparable pricing to the other meals we had in Fira and Oia. Hope this helps!

Great spot on the way into Fira - Edit
Being my first impression of plant based gyros, it was a great first impression!
Read moreIt's vegan menu was wide, and it did many of the classic (normally non-vegan) items in an authentic and legitimate way.
Thoroughly enjoyed, and planning a second trip!
Veganissimo shares a space with an Omni restaurant called Med Food, so just make sure to ask for a menu!

Very nice food and service - Edit
I really liked their food and the free desert they offered us. We got the slouvakis: I got the mushroom one and my husband the falafel one. It was very fast and they also gave us free entrees (bread and vegan tzatziki).

Full yet Deflated - Edit
We were excited to try this restaurant in Fira centre and turned up ready to be wowed. It had been awkward to find as there is no visible signage and we walked past it a couple of times.
Read moreThe marketing for it is most positive, the reviews are super and its online presence is impressive. However, unfortunately for us we were totally underwhelmed. The service was impatient and the food simply average, although portion sizes were large (hence the expensive prices). The electronic menu screens were extolling the virtues of their fish and meat dishes; we found that a bit confusing for what we thought was a vegan restaurant. When you realise that Veganissimo is actually a pop-up inside a Mediterranean restaurant then that helps, but nowhere tells you!
We ordered Fava (yellow split peas, Santorini style), flat bread, mushroom gyros (this comes deconstructed) and the moussaka. The food was pleasant. For a specifically vegan restaurant, we thought we were in for a treat as when eating in many, local omni restaurants, we had been really impressed with their accidentally vegan dishes. We ate the Veganissimo food and left, feeling full yet deflated.
Pros: Centrally located near to bus station , Decent loos!, Vegan options abound
Cons: Expensive, Hard to find, Didn’t match up to online presence

Not great - Edit
Pretty disappointing. The Beyond Gyros was an unseasoned burger patty in a pita bread with hardly any vegetables and a bland sauce. The quality of the food is not worth the price and the atmosphere of the restaurant is pretty much non-existent. Cannot recommend.

Change of name - Edit
Now called Med Food but still has the Veganissimo menu.
Read moreHad hummus, tzatziki (free at the beginning) and moussaka.
Tzatziki was absolutely delicious.
Moussaka best vegan one I had in Greece.
Not great texture to the hummus more like pate but bread was good.
Wine also lovely and served in an actual wine glass 🙌
