What to order
The plates that decide it
Vegan moussaka — the meze bar's plant-based take on the Greek classic
Zucchini rolls with caramelized onions — a standout small plate
Beet salad with grapefruit, and avocado chocolate mousse to finish — reliable veg starter and dessert
Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
Effectively the only fully vegan/vegetarian kitchen on the island — a real find for plant-based travellers in a place built on grilled fish and lamb.
Not independently verified — estimated
It is all-vegetarian, so a group set on fresh fish or grilled meat should pick elsewhere; seating is casual beach-bar, not refined dining.

What it feels like
Reading the room, traveller by traveller
Couples
A laid-back, plant-based alternative to the packed Oia castle for sundowners with the sea wide open in front of you.
With friends
A relaxed vegan graze and drinks with a barefoot beach-bar feel — great for a veggie-leaning group, a non-starter for committed carnivores.
