My wife is vegetarian and this place was so close to our hotel so we went.
I am glad we did, but strangely, my wife was a little disappointed.
We ordered the jar of sangria for two and it was the perfect amount for us. I really liked the milder fruitier flavor. Other sangrias that I've had generally have too much clove flavor for my taste. I could detect strawberry and pomegranate as among the ingredients.
We each ordered a different croquette. My wife had the mushroom one and I had the one with Gorgonzola cheese and fig and nuts. I was expecting a small pressed sandwich like a monsieur croquet. My mistake. A croquette is deep-fried. They were differently shaped, but honestly to me they tasted exactly the same. However, my wife could taste the difference between the two.
I wasn't as hungry as my wife because I had already had some tapas just earlier. So she got herself a salad of greens and shaved cheese and tomatoes and avocado in a light vinaigrette. We both liked this.
My wife had a udon noodle stew with an egg added. For her somehow it tasted too sweet. I tasted it and it was exactly as salty as I expected it. So we have brought it home and I will have it as a left over tomorrow.
I ordered the vegan ceviche. That was a very good dish. When I brought my first bite up to my mouth and under my nose, somehow I smelled seafood like a slight fish smell. Definitely no fish in it. The fake shrimp were attractive, but flavorless on their own. The dish however, had good flavor from the passionfruit juice and some smokiness, perhaps created from cashews. I don't know what they use to simulate the tuna crudo, but it was good also.
Once I had finished, I expected them to bring me a small glass to pour the liquid into for my Leche de Tigre, but I had to ask for the glass.
On the whole, I think this is a good vegetarian restaurant up there with Teresa Carles in Barcelona. read more
