Restaurant your snobbish anti-vegan mom would love to visit - Edit
The overall feeling of the restaurant reflects the menu, which prioritizes "naturalness" over veganism.
Read moreFood was very good!
Two different waiters were asked why it was labelled vegetarian on happy cow and not vegan, they couldn't give an answer.

Pretty good spot 🙂 - Edit
The food was good overall, though nothing that stood out too much except for the salad, which was easily the best thing we had — super fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The space itself is clean and modern, with plenty of seating and a calm atmosphere.

Disappointed in the service - Edit
I went out of my way to visit this place due to the excellent reviews. The food was 4 or 5 stars (had the patties for late lunch), but my experience on the service was far from perfect. The place wasn’t packed when I entered at 3 pm, but still the staff really took their time to even acknowledge my arrival. I was then left waiting for 40 mins to place my order, and after finishing my meal I finally gave up on trying to get the check, so I went inside to pay. What I had planned to be a rather short visit for one-course lunch ended up taking more than two hours of my short trip to Athens and myself missing a pre-booked activity. The place was practically empty but they wouldn’t bother with check. All in all, this place has the potential to be a five-star establishment but during my visit they really failed to meet the expectations given the numerous 5* reviews.

All-vegan, large comfy place - Edit
This restaurant is dangerously close to where we’re staying. They offer a wide selection of vegan and healthy dishes, all homemade with care. The owner is very kind and helpful, and he’ll gladly guide you through the menu and answer any questions. We’ve been here twice so far, and we definitely plan on coming back.

Yi - Greek vegan Restaurant - Edit
A spacious and stylish restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and very friendly staff. The dishes include veganised Greek specialities alongside "vegan classics". A rich dessert menu for health conscious indulgence.
Read moreI've come back again after a year and really enjoyed their menu. The salad are delicious and the deserts outstanding. The restaurant is fully plant based and offers some raw options.

Revisiting Yi Athens was just as magical — if not more. - Edit
After my first visit, I already knew this place was something special. This time, I brought along three non-vegan friends, curious to see their reactions. We sampled a wider variety of dishes, and once again, the food blew us away. Every plate is crafted with high-quality ingredients and full of flavour — fresh, inventive, and deeply satisfying.
Read moreEverything we tried was exceptional. What’s even more impressive is that my non-vegan friends were completely won over. They left with a new appreciation for vegan cuisine — not just that it can be good, but that it can be truly amazing.
The service is warm, welcoming, and always with a smile, and the ambiance is just as beautiful and serene as I remembered. The decor and vibe elevate the entire experience — it’s not just a meal, it’s a moment of calm and delight in the day.
Yi Athens is more than worth the trip. It's a place that changes perspectives and leaves you nourished in every sense.

World class - Edit
This restaurant he’s almost entirely vegan. The food is inventive, with subtle tastes, and everything we’ve had here was an experience.
Read moreThe staff is attentive, and the setting is spacious, classy relaxed. We shared a bunch of things: a fig appetizer with vegan cream cheese, a salad with peanut sauce, and avocado tart, a harvest bowl, a pizza, and three desserts: a cheesecake, a cinnamon cake, and a tiramisu. And we loved everything!
Pros: Excellent food, Great setting
Cons: They have an option for cow milk for coffee, Why not make it all vegan?

Sehr lecker! - Edit
Wirklich leckeres, frisch zubereitetes essen. Der Nachtisch hatte es echt in sich, alles sehr hochwertig. Ich würde nicht sagen, dass die Preise sehr hoch sind (wie in Deutschland), es sind allerdings teurere Produkte verarbeitet (viel Rohkost, Cashews, Datteln, Kokos,..), wodurch natürlich teurere Preise zustande kommen. Auch die Bedienung war super nett, hat bei dem Nachtisch die Zutaten erklärt und war sichtlich stolz auf das Essen.😄

Serves cow milk - Edit
A restaurant that sells cow milk shouldn't be considered fully vegan

Nice vegan food but very expensive - Edit
They offer a very big variety of vegan foods and drinks. However, the prices are really high for the portion sizes. Also, they only offer almond or cow milk for coffee. I'd prefer at least one more alternative like coconut or soy milk. Nevertheless, the food was very tasty so I'd recommend to visit once when you're in the area 😁

Too expensive for what it offers - Edit
If you are on the hardcore side of veganism, you'll like it. Everything is gluten free, lots of raw options. Small portions (apart from the noodles I would say) and very expensive.

Best meal. Been so many times. Raw, vegan, no sugar, tasty !!!! - Edit
I can’t explain how good this restaurant is. First of all, it’s so healthy. It’s raw, vegan, gluten free and sugar free. Even the desserts !!! The menu is extensive and well curated, including the drinks menu, where they do fresh juices and smoothies with ingredients like maca and other superfoods. I’ve been maybe 3 times and keep coming back to try more . It’s good a really nice, up-scale vibe with great interior design. They also have a kind of deli where they sell their own biscuits, spreads, etc.
