Regime
Pour les vegetariens et vegans
Greek cuisine is naturally rich in meat-free dishes
On Orthodox fasting days, many dishes are vegan (nistisima)
Horta (boiled wild greens) and gigantes (giant beans) are excellent
Feta, hummus and vegetarian dolmades are everywhere
Asking for 'choris kreas' (no meat) is well understood
