Some nice options but overpriced - Edit
Read moreWe came here for our anniversary, the first time for us both. The place has an old world vibe but it's apparent in places it needs work, which gives it more of a dilapidated vibe instead. The service was ok, but the friendliness felt forced. Table clearing could be improved, with some things remaining for most of the dinner and others being cleared as we finished them.
The food was ok. Olives and artichoke to start. Olives would be better warmed, instead of just room temperature in oil, but the artichoke hearts were really nice. The vegan mains were almost starters themselves, so both portion size and content should certainly be addressed, especially considering the price. The dishes were ok, although one was so hot it couldn't be eaten safely for a good 5-10 minutes.
This is another of many omnivore restaurants that offers vegan dishes at similar prices to dishes costing significantly more to produce but subsequently falls short of expectations.
Overall it was ok, but unlikely to return.
Pros: Some nice flavours
Cons: Small portions , Noisy dining room

Delicious food and atmosphere - Edit
We had 2 evening meals here- one sitting outside in the gardens and one upstairs. The waiter (from Herefordshire) was very helpful with information about the dishes (Spanish) and what was vegan. Look on the back of the menu for main dishes if you want more than tasty tapas. Sangria, artichokes, zarzuela, paella, chilli cauliflower, bread with olive oil are among the options.

Delicious Spanish-inspired food - Edit
Delicious tapas with lovely outdoor seating in the Botanical Gardens. Excellent service, and the staff are knowledgeable about veganism and vegetarianism. Highly recommended.
