Wonderful vegan degustation - Edit
This was an absolutely amazing experience. I never expected such a fancy food place to cater to vegans nevermind have a full 5 course vegan degustation. They even had pairings, including vegan wines, non alcoholic vegan mocktails and had no problems accommodating a food allergy in addition to veganism, which most places would baulk at. Servers were very knowledgeable and knew what was in each dish. The vegan mango bomb Alaska was one of the best things I've ever eaten. The omnivores dining with me had the vegan degustation and they all said it was absolutely incredible and didn't miss the meat at all. My only disappointment was that the vegan macadamia cheese was substituted for hummus last minute which was disappointing but I understand they sometimes run out of stuff. Will just have to get it next time. Expensive but worth it, we will be back as soon as the menu changes.

Creative vegan degustation paired with delicious wines - Edit
Delightful, unhurried vegan tapas degustation lunch, paired with a thoughtfully curated selection of vegan wines. Standout dishes included the tempura guindillas, the jerk grilled eggplant, the mushroom shawarma and the mellanzane carpaccio with preserved dates and truffle. But, in fact, every course was memorable. The staff were friendly and attentive, and provided valuable information about both the food and the wine. The atmosphere was relaxed and we had a lovely view of the vineyard. We felt that as much attention was paid to the vegan menu as to the non-vegan menu that our friend ordered.

Delicious degustation - Edit
I recently took my mum to Rustico for her birthday and we were blown away by their 5 course degustation. Plenty of food with the option to add on extras at a small charge. Our favourite dishes were the broccolini, zucchini and bombe alaska. The venue and view are also worth mentioning as you look out onto the vineyards.

Good vegan tapas selection! - Edit
We went to rustico for lunch. We didn’t get the 5 course vegan degustation as we had our little one with us but we picked the ala carte vegan/vegetarian tapas menu. It was tasty and filling. Our little one enjoyed his food. We had a good experience. It is pet friendly too!
Read morePros: Lots of vegan/vegetarian tapas option, Option for a full 5 course vegan degustation menu
