Excelente jantar grego

O Tarantula oferece refeições, sanduíches, cafés, vinhos e lanches gregos em um ambiente muito agradável.

Pedi o Tzatziki acompanhado de uma poçāo de tirokroketes e tive um jantar super yummie. Tivesse mais dias em Tessalinica certamente acabaria visitando o restaurante novamente. Dificil seria decidir entre repetir o yummie pedido ou experimentar novos pratos.

Pros: Totalmente vegano, Comida saborosa, Ambiente agradável

All around great experience

The place is spacious with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. The staff are friendly and the menu has plenty of options. The food came quickly and tasted great. There was so many flavours and the dishes I had worked together really well. I had the mushroom nuggets, eggplant dip, potatoes with lemon and spetsofai. It was very well priced as well and shared between two could only be cheaper as I was on my own.

Pros: Spacious , Friendly staff, Plenty of choices

Beautiful food, people, and place!

Wow! The food was amazing. It was really fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated. It was also quite filling and inexpensive. I loved everything we had; the lemony mushrooms, Spetsofal - seitan sausage, peppers, tomatoes, and onions, Bouglourdi -spicy dip with feta, Parmesan, tomatoes , and the Pastitsio. All came with bread, was beautifully prepared and simply amazing! Sat outside but the inside was very cute. The staff were really nice and helpful.

Incredible!

Very delicious almost tapas style food, dishes are small so you order lots of them and they are all very delicious!
The cheese fried balls with quinoa is incredible. I had the lovely peanut butter smoothie which was incredible too!
All the food here is amazing.

Ace place!

Tarantula, is spacious, friendly, affordable, all vegan and has some really nice food!
We share a selection of dishes between the three of us and all agreed the cheezy balls were very fine. Sadly a couple of dishes we chose we not available that day but we ate well. The choc salami desert was lovely washed down with a fine Earl Grey tea.
The toilets could have been a bit better but I guess it was at the end of a busy day.
Three of us ate well for under 50 euros inc a tip!
Def. worth visiting when ita!

Pros: Fine food with a difference., All vegan, Not expensive.

Very yummy, but also cheap

I went to Tarantoula after seeing the reviews here on HappyCow and must say that I absolutely agree with the five star rating. The food was very tasty (I had the cheeseballs and the spicy cheese with bread), though I think much of it seemed more like snacks than like a proper dinner. The portions were a bit small, but also quite cheap, so overall it was a very fair deal.

I'd say the service was quick and efficient.

What I didn't really like were the chairs and tables. Some of it looked like the basic cheap IKEA stuff (tables with foldable legs that end up in an x-shape where you cannot sit close to the table because the legs are in the way). I'd say there is room for improvement here. Many of the chairs were bare painted wood. Overall, I'd say there's room for improvement in terms of comfort, but I didn't mind too much.

Pros: very tasty, cheap

Cons: chairs/tables weren't that comfortable

Great vegan restaurant

The food was really good. Portions are a good size. Wine was okay; not the best. Tzatziki was amazing and also the potatoes!

Pros: Great tzatziki , Fair price

The best

I think this is by far the best vegan restaurant I’ve been to, ever. I love the fact that they use legumes and veggies in abundance, nothing is precooked, everything is fresh. Also the portions are great and the price is fair! Loved it 😍

Yummy Greek Food

Everything was soooo good and huge portions.

Edit: We came back here 2 days later to get take away and I need to say: It might just be one of the best vegan food I’ve had in ~15y being vegan.

Updated from previous review on 2024-11-15

Pros: Everything so so well spiced, Nice staff, Big portions

Cons: That I don’t live here to get it more often ;)

One of the best vegan places I have ever been.

Everything I tried so far was just amazing. I’m probably not gonna check out any other restaurant during my stay in Thessaloniki. It’s that good.

Good prices

For what it is it's good price. Food was nice although we didn't enjoy it too much because it was too heavy for us. We took potato croquettes, tempeh and fried mushroom bites. Mushroom we liked the most, would recommend.

At the end we ordered coffee that was really good as well!

Pros: Good food, Great coffee , Fare price
