SinTrofi's seasonal kitchen works with gluten-free guests as a matter of principle given the zero-waste, seasonal approach. The daily menu includes clearly marked gluten-free options and the staff are knowledgeable about allergen cross-contamination.
rOOTS has been Thessaloniki's pioneer vegan restaurant since 2014. The menu covers raw bowls, grain plates, seasonal soups, and a Sunday brunch format that consistently outdraws any meat alternative in the city. Completely plant-based, no exceptions.
Tarantula veganises Greek classics: moussaka without the bechamel, soutzoukakia with lentil and walnut, and a pastitsio built from mushroom ragu. One of the few vegan restaurants that successfully addresses the Thessaloniki palate rather than running an international menu.
