• Smart vegan restaurant

We stayed in an apartment and by a very happy chance, Compost was the nearest restaurant. We dined on a Saturday evening which offers an a la carte menu rather than the 15 euro lunchtime offering. Most vegan restaurants are somewhat basic so it made a nice change to find a smart venue with a fresh understated decor and attentive waitress service, well worth paying a little more for the ambience. We chose a bottle of organic wine and opted for two starters between the three of us: nori and raw vegetables, and a quinoa salad with wheatgrass polenta. Both were beautifully presented and very good, but while we were waiting we were given small complimentary bowls of a creamy celery and kale soup, also excellent. We enjoyed our main courses but would have liked more vegetable content in the rice and noodle dishes. Only one of us had dessert, a raspberry and strawberry tart with raw nut base which was judged to be delicious.
