Peanut, Tree Nut, Sunflower, and Canola Oil-Free Greece Top Picks Guide

Hi! I’m Adriana and I recently traveled to Greece! I found many safe spots to eat while managing peanut, tree nut, sunflower seed/oil, and canola oil allergies and shared them on the Spokin app—they are also all featured in this guide. One of my favorites was Othonas Taverna, where I had chicken souvlaki. A fun thing to do if you are in Greece is hike to Kourtaliotiko Gorge in Crete. Follow me on Spokin @adrianapalucci to see all of my allergy-friendly reviews and on Insta @adrianapalucci!

The Wine Bar

Location: Imerovigli, Greece

“Staff was great, but I did not have many options here due to them using sunflower oil for a majority of dishes.”

Petrino

Location: Megalochori, Greece

“I gave staff my Equal Eats Card and they were super helpful. I did not have many options, aside from the grilled items and some pastas, due to them using sunflower oil for most dishes. Appetizers were very limited due to my allergy.”

Parea Tavern

Location: Santorini, Greece

“Helpful staff. They even offered to cook fries in olive oil for me, since most of their items were cooked in sunflower oil.”

Othonas Tavrna

Location: Rethymno, Greece

“Staff was helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. They made sure what I was ordering was made with olive oil too! We ended up going back a second time and the waiter remembered us and had the chef make some items that are normally not made in olive oil in olive oil specifically for me.”

Sofra

Location: Rethymno, Greece

“Staff was knowledgeable about everything on the menu. There was a slight mix up with what they served me (I think because the server changed), fortunately when I asked they made me another meal with the correct items the original server and I talked about.”

Tzitzikas & Mermigas

Location: Athens, Greece

“Staff were able to tell me exactly what I could and could not have on their menu. They also gave me options for items I could not eat that were comparable.”

Vatalos

Location: Fragkokastello, Greece

“Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu. They fry in sunflower oil so I was limited to the grill.”

Bakalogatos

Location: Rethymno, Greece

“Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu. They fry in sunflower oil so they were able to tell me which dishes they cook with only olive oil.”

Medusa

Location: Mandrakia, Greece

“I showed them my Equal Eats Card with my allergies and they were able to tell me everything I could and could not have. They fry in sunflower oil so I had to stick to the grilled items, but the staff was super helpful.”

Kapilio

Location: Rethymno, Greece

“Staff was very helpful and very knowledgeable of the menu.”

Raki Ba Raki

Location: Rethymno, Greece

“Staff was super helpful but I unfortunately was limited to a few items on the menu, due to them using mostly sunflower oil.”

Grande Dame Athenian Tavern

Location: Athens, Greece

“Staff was very helpful. The waiter kept double checking everything I asked, which was great. The fryer uses sunflower oil so I was only able to eat from the grilled meats. The waiter made adjustments to a couple of items we ordered so that I could have them.”

Raki

Location: Cyclades, Greece

“Staff was great and after showing them my Equal Eats Card, even offered to make some items on their menu special for me with olive oil since they typically use sunflower oil.”
