AMAZING VEGAN DINNING

If you want creative and classic Greek vegan food this is the place. I’ve been here twice already and it doesn’t disappoint. The Gyro is as so juicy! And the crab and vava was a nice play on flavors.

Pros: Crab and vava, Gyro , Cheesecake

Delicious food for a good price. Everything was great, but the cheesecake was amazing. Had to go back a second time today try more of the food.

Fast, fresh and well presented

I had the fava & crab to start and the vegan gyros as a main. Both were excellently presented and were served very quickly given the quality of the presentation. The staff were very attentive and helpful through my whole time there. The seating off the main road is very nice and I recommend a visit.

Amazing food

Everything was really tasty. Especially the Creme brûlée, tzatziki and the artichoke dish.
They have cocktails, but most of them are bitter (tonic water)

Excellent vegan food in Thessonoliki!

I was so thrilled to have vegan tzsatsiki finally after touring around Greece for almost a week! The restaurant is super cute with beautiful wood tables outside and air-conditioning inside. Its near markets and downtown so great location. I also had the paella which surprised and delighted me. I would highly recommend this spot!

Great Vegan/Vegetarian cafe

Great dinner. The green bean and seaweed miso starter and the eggplant dip were both great. The paella and the gyozo mains (both pictured) were great.

Impressive cooking

The menu is a bit too reliant on fake cheeses for my taste, but the cooking was really excellent. Definitely recommend the mushroom bruschetta. The country potatoes that came with my burger were tremendous. The desserts were nice, but maybe a big as far as portions go.

Gigantic and delicious vegan moussakà!

At Roots I definitely ate the best vegan moussakà ever, it was amazingly tasty!
Also, the size is so big that is gonna take a while to finish it!
The price is quite high, but it makes sense considering the amount.
Place is very nice and the staff friendly!

Lovely restaurant

I really liked the location and the staff was super kind. I ordered the burger but I was not a big fan. My friend ordered the gyros which was really good. The gyoza and mushroom bruschetta were delicious!

Good food

A bit overpriced. Other than that food was okay. Nice outdoor seating. We tried gyoza, Buddha bowl, gyros and pasta putaneska.

Fancy restaurant with delicious food.

Very good food, we had the Camembert as starter and was very good, it was the first time I at a cheese with sweet olives. The gyros plate as main was amazing, I liked it a lot. Cheesecake for dessert was super delicious.
4 stars because it's not longer fully vegan and the moussaka my girlfriend ordered was lacking flavor a bit. But generally a very good place to visit.

We have been there with my wife multiple times and actually we've tried the whole menu.
Everything can switch to vegan and everything is super tasty.
One of the best places in Skg.
Highly recommended.

Very good food!

Well cooked tasty food w interesting options. Tradicional ones include the giant beans, gyros and moussaka. Carbonara was good but you could taste the almond a lot. The green bean appetiser was a messy combination but tasty! Moussaka was very creamy and good! Desserts are too expensive!
Con: waiter asked if we wanted water after ordering our drinks so i thought it was on the house but it was a store bought bottle so we payed!

Mein Highlight der Stadt

Das beste Risotto meines Lebens und das erste vegane, welches ich je gegessen habe. Das Plant based crab schmeckt genau wie Fisch. Sehr lecker und hübsch angerichtet.

Pros: Location, Service , Gerichte hübsch angerichtet

Best Meal of the Trip

Wonderful cozy cafe with elegantly served food of the best quality. All vegetarian and vegan. The vegan Greek Salad with vegan feta was marvelous as was the Carbonara with plant based ham and vegan shaved Parmesan. I cannot recommend this place enough. Hats off to the kitchen! Great location, too.

Pros: High quality vegan food, Many choices, Elegant presentation
