Veggie Dish Contest
Veggie Dish Contest
HellasVeg is organizing the Veggie Dish Contest “Veg.contest Thessaloniki 2024 – The city’s gastronomy is changing” to showcase the best veggie recipes (vegan and vegetarian) in restaurants across the greater Thessaloniki area.
The main goal of the contest is to introduce the city’s public, as well as visitors to our country, to the veggie recipes already available on the menus of many general dining restaurants. Additionally, it aims to encourage chefs to create new, imaginative, and nutritionally complete recipes that will be served as main dishes. Another objective is to promote and reward the restaurants that include and enrich their menus with veggie meals.
