The World's Best Vegan Restaurant Is In Greece & Here's What It's Like To Eat There
They've got "the most amazing vegan gyro there ever was."
No one does gyros like the Greeks — and that includes vegan gyros, too.
The absolute best vegan restaurant in the world is a little spot called Vegan Beat in Athens, according to Tripadvisor's 2021 Traveler's Choice Awards.
Vegan Beat topped Tripadvisor's annual best of the best awards after racking up a ton of rave reviews for its extra-healthy take on the Mediterranean diet.
The restaurant makes an incredible mushroom gyro that will put any meat-based equivalent to shame, according to one of the many glowing reviews on Tripadvisor.
And while many places will simply do fries, the folks at Vegan Beat take it up a notch with a super crispy spiral potato covered in spices.
They've also got a low-key amazing lemonade and super-friendly staff.
Visitors say there's not much room to eat inside the restaurant but it's the perfect grab-and-go meal if you're a tourist in the city.
