Our
Comments: They understand veganism
and we have had a couple of reports that they
cater extremely well for vegans. A vegan couple contacted
them in advance and were offered 4 starters, 3 mains and 4
desserts, described as of 'superb quality'.Therefore it
seems prior notice is a very good idea. The portions are
large, the service friendly and the atmosphere relaxed.
They stock dairy free ice cream.
Cottage accommodation is also available.

The labelled
vegan options are jacket potato with ratatouille on the lunch menu and
vegan optimum nutrition salad on the evening menu. They can provide
more dishes if you mention you are vegan on booking.
Location: At the top of town, near the big church, up the hill.
Our Comments: Delicatessen, cafe
and restaurant. They don't cater specifically for
vegans, though they usually have two dishes on the
menu that would be suitable (e.g. stuffed peppers,
patatas bravas). Being a deli/cafe the menu mostly has
a meat or cheese component but they can make things
like tostado with piquillo peppers as a tapas dish,
even if it's not on the menu that day.

regular vegan customer only needs to ring the proprietor

veganisable. They will do their best to understand vegan
customers' needs and accommodate them. They also provide
catering and do a cracking buffet.

Comments:
