To top it off, they charged us for bread- that we did not ask for and assumed it was complimentary when brought to the table. Avoid at all costs - there are lots of good restaurants in Salamanca to choose from.

I got the smoked salmon and it is the best salmon I've ever had. My reason for the 4 stars was for the staff. Our waitress didn't seem like she wanted to be there. Didn't greet us, seemed bothered when we asked her for wine or water or just anything in particular. The dessert was amazing as well. We got a little taste of it all. My favorite was the strawberry ice cream and their tiramisu.

(We fed five for less than €100 - note: no appetizers or alcohol and just one dessert) Vegan options at the time of this review: Quinoa and veggie soup Seasonal salad Veggie tartar (veggies, lime, ginger, avacado) Hummus and pita Moroccan-style tabouleh Rissoto w/zucchini Veggie (fried) spring rolls w/orange sauce Thai-style noodles and veggies And... The veggie burger (with carrot sauce) We ordered a single order of bread to start (€1) and also got two little shots of spiced garbanzo soup with it. We heard the server make sure it was vegan before she brought it. Tasty and a warm welcome on a cold day. I'd order a whole bowl of it if I saw it on the menu. Our server recommended the rissoto - an excellent choice. It's made with wheat and a creamy sauce, with zucchini and carrots mixed in. Portion size was perfect. If you can't tell in the photo - it's a pretty thick cylinder! Overall - impressed with the food quality and the service. Vegans rejoice. If you're eating with non-vegans - everyone will be happy!

Instead they have done a modern yet tasteful look with branding that I love. We visited on a Thursday evening and after spending a few days in Salamanca soon understood why El Pecado wasn't doing a roaring trade. It was quite expensive compared to it's competitors. Now I understand what they are trying to do... what they are 'trying' to do, is be a 'fine dining' establishment and this is reflected in the prices and the presentation of the food. Now they are not quite a fine dining restaurant but this does not mean that they aren't doing lots of things right. The food we had was great. Not fantastic but certainly delicious and I enjoyed every part of my meal. I particularly loved the prawns I had as a starter and would definitely recommend them. The service we had was also very good. Maybe a little slow considering there was only one other table, but still I left satisfied that our waitress had attended us well and with a smile. Overall, I would recommend this place to eat... but I would suggest having the set menu at €25 for 3 courses as that would seem much better value than our bill which I thought was far too steep.

This place has the added advantage of having some seat cushions they add to their seats. Dinner doesn't start until 8 PM, so be warned. We had some lovely dishes. The watermelon salad did not say that it came with chunks of salmon on it, so FYI if you order that. Pick a spot show was huge and very good. The order of croquettes is probably meant for three or four people, and for two people there were too many of them we couldn't eat them all. We shared a monk fish main plate after all that and it was also very tasty. The potatoes were a little plain that came with it but otherwise really good. Service was OK, it was very difficult to get the waiters attention when we finally wanted to leave and even after asking for the check.

While a little thick, the batter was just perfect (and I usually don't like battered food). I also had the octopus. It was outstanding. It's easy to overcook octopus, but they didn't here. And I enjoyed a great white wine. A thoughtful place with declicious food. And the server was friendly and quick.
