An oasis in the desert

Great options for vegetarians, went there twice in a three day stay. Their paella was tasty and full of veggies, though it takes 30 min so keep that in mind. The spinach and chickpea tapas is particularly delicious. Had their apple custard tart that they served with apple syrup, yum. Oh and their sangria was delicious. Lastly they had artichokes in some kind of mint rosemary sauce. Also great. Come hungry.

They do speak English and at least have English and French menus.

Delicious!

Very friendly service with great food. They have vegan paella, but it was the spinach and garbanzo tapa that stole the show.

Super!

Cameriere simpatico e disponibile!
I piatti veg sono segnati sul menù e sono 5. Io li ho presi tutti. Si può scegliere la grandezza del piatto: tapas è una piccola porzione, raciones è un piatto intero.
Ho mangiato : gazpacho, carciofi conditi con prezzemolo e olio, insalata di peperoni arrosto, spinaci e ceci, verdure miste cotte con salsa di pomodoro.
Vi consiglio il gazpacho e gli spinaci con ceci. Gli altri piatti non sono eccezionali.
Il locale è bello e accogliente. Consigliatissimo!

Pros: Piatti genuini, Cordialità e gentilezza

Yummy Traditional Tapas

Vegan options are marked with a dash on the menu, and the staff can point them out. Traditional tapas, yummy jars of sangría, and a cute atmosphere. Would recommend and return!

Pros: Staff understands what vegan means, Traditional Spanish tapas

Come here for traditional Spanish food

I really liked this place. You have many typical delicious Spanish (and naturally vegan) options, such as gazpacho, chickpea with spinach, pisto, artichokes, grilled peppers and paella. The portions are generous considering that the prices are low and you're right in the city center, close by the cathedral. Inside, the place is bigger than it seems and if you don't sit next to the entrance (where the cheese bar is), you don't really get any of the cheese smell mentioned in other reviews. Definitely a great option for typical food in a cozy atmosphere!

Sit outside

The tapas was decent but as another person has mentioned, sit outside as the inside has an overwhelming cheese smell.

Good vibe, good food

I loved that we finally find a vegan paella and tapas. We were two people, and ordered one paella, and four vegan tapas (artichokes, spinach and chickpeas, red peppers and onion, and some tomatodish). A lot of food, we ended up not eating everything (and got the rest as take away). Our favourite was the artichokes! The tomatodish tasted like tomatopuré. I've never tasted it before, but i liked it.

As someone else also have written in previous reviews, the paella was average. It could have tasted more, but it was still our second favourite.

Got free vegan bread (wait with eating it so you can dip it in the food!)

We sat outside, which i'm very glad for. It smelled cheese inside, which grossed me out a bit at least. But i'm very very thankful for the vegan options this place had!!

The staff was very friendly!

Excellent traditional tapas!

Great tapas with a clearly labeled allergen menu if you ask. I tried the espinacas y garbanzos, pisto, and artichokes and they were fantastic!! Also a great place to come if you have a group w people who eat meat so you can eat well too

Vegan options

Good service and quiet location with a few outdoor tables. Vegan tapas are the pisto, garbanzos with spinach, spiced grilled peppers, artichokes and gazpacho. The vegetable paella is also vegan. We had all but the gazpacho. Food was only okay and was very oily. Served white rolls with the meal. They do not take reservations so show up early.

Pros: Vegan Spanish food, Good service, English menu

Cons: Very oily, White bread, Not super delicious (for our tastes)

Good atmosphere, decent food

The vegan paella was a bit flat in taste, could use some more seasoning. But the other dishes were nice with very friendly service.
