"We, four people, visited on a Saturday evening, two of us are vegan. We ordered the tasting menu of five courses, €30 (including cover charge); this includes a good choice of dishes. It is reasonably priced for the quality of food. The antipasto was varied, including vegetables in tempura, three different dips, houmous with a falafel, and crunchy seitan (I think) delicious and innovative creation. Primo: a velvety squash type soup with a scattering of nuts; followed by ravioli with tomato sauce and Secondo: aubergine with parmesan type cheese, excellent, and pickled vegetables. All very tasty and the portions manageable, although one of us would have appreciated some accompanying bread. Dolce: tiramisu all agreed that this is really good (better than traditional recipe), and the excellent ice cream was wittily presented with the cone upside down on top. We drank an Umbrian Lungarotti, white, delicious and well matched with the food; the craft beer, Flea, was good too. The service was fine, welcoming and informative although could have been more relaxed. The environment is bright, modern, lots of glass, with stylish bathroom and bar. The lighting was a little loud for an evening, but at least one could appreciate the presentation of the dishes! Next time, and we will be back, I'd choose fewer dishes to savour fully. This is because the tasting menu, although providing a showcase for their undoubtedly talented chef's range, is a bit rich overall, but, of course, this is just a matter of personal taste, However, this is a beautiful place, with great, imaginative food offered, which in some instances, betters the traditional non vegan recipe. I applaud the venture and hope that it is well supported."
