I thought the food was alright, but nothing too special. You do get a lot, so that's definitely a plus. Like I said, my friend ordered her dish glutenfree, since she has a gluten allergy. After we ate and left the place she told us her stomach was hurting. And the next day she had fallen ill. I'm not quite sure what went wrong, whether they had accidentally given her the wrong dish or something else. What I do know is that she is never going back there again. For me personally, I thought the food was quite tasty just didn't have that wow factor. Though knowing about my friend getting sick I just can't recommend this place, especially not for someone with allergies.

Cute little place by the square. I think we were not the…read moreonly tourists here but it still did not give me the typical "tourist trap" feel.

A fairly cosy place alright, and service was good up until the point where they screwed up…read more I'm allergic to wheat and therefore asked if there were any pasta in the vegetarian lasagna (since there was both eggplant and zucchini in it, which usually is used in substitut to pasta) and the answer was no. When we received the food (by the way, I also got lots of bread with this dish, going great with the allergy) we were kind of in a hurry, so when we started eating and I realized there was pasta in it I decided pick it out with my fork (classy!) and tell them about the situation when they came to the table. When I told the waitress the problem she simply said there shouldn't be any pasta in it and went to talk to someone. When she came back she sort of mumbled to me in bypass that she would remove our teas from the bill. To say the least, I was hardly satisfied with this lack of respect or the compensation (I mean! I degraded my self with picking like a five year old, I'd removed half my dish and last but certainly not least I'd hade traces of wheat in my system which I'm, like I said, allergic to) but I didn't feel like making further fuss so I agreed. When it came to payment then. The waitress removed not 2, but 1 tea from the bill. I asked about this and the waitressed answered that she couldn't give my husband a free tea because there was nothing wrong with his food. Add on that, she started blurt that we had asked for tap water (shame on restaurants for serving bottled water when there's perfectly good water in the tap!) which she served us even though the were not supposed to (like that's our problem). She also explained at this point that when I asked about pasta she thought I meant macaronis. So, that's that and in the end I got a big fat "we don't care" and 4 € compensation for a 15 € dish that I had to remove half, and I had to eat traces something I'm allergic to. And for the record, obviously it's not about the money, I went in there affording my food, it's about service and the empathy. They made a mistake, how ever honest it was, a person in their restaurant got hurt by it. They should feel ashamed for not treating me and the situation with respect.

Everything was just decent (the burger, the fries, the salad) with the excretion if the mushrooms and toast which were amazing. It was really the mushrooms that saved this restaurant from being a 3 star review. If you're in the area feel free to give it a try but all-in-all it's just another restaurant.

And huge props for no meaty residue! The veggie burgers are cooked separately from their meaty counterparts! I chose the Tempeh Burger with green beans and a spicy Thai sauce. The Mr chose the Seaweed burger - Kombu seaweed, soy beans, wasabi mayonnaise, avocado & wakame salad Fries were soft on the inside, crispy on the outside & of course came with the required mayo dipping sauce Beers on the first night were refreshing and a perfect pairing. We tried their homemade gin & elderflower cocktail the second night & while it was good, the beers were the better selection, in our opinion Still dreaming of these burgers!

The food was absolutely disgusting. I have never tasted such bland and greasy 'tapas' (and I use…read morethat term very, very loosely) in my life. What was sold as gamba's were actually scampi and swimming in fat, the pinchos were rubbery and so overcooked that they had no flavor left. The patatas bravas were burnt and the steak tartare was neither raw nor edible. I found myself struggling to choke down each bite, and the experience was so unpleasant that we couldn't even finish our meal. On top of all that, the prices were outrageous - fine dining prices for to substandard fare. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone, even if they were starving and had nowhere else to go.
