Excellent

Lovely food. We were able to get a table on a Saturday night without a reservation. The staff were friendly and there was a good atmosphere. Several dishes labelled vegan. Unfortunately they didn’t have vegan calamari so I had the vegan prawns instead-very nice. The green beans were excellent as was the carrots and hummus dish. I tried a vegan chicken and chorizo dish which was nice but I don’t think I’d get it again. There are vegan versions of some of the meat dishes so I double checked that it was definitely the vegan version when it arrived. The aubergine fritters were quite good but heavy on the batter. My friend had the vegan almond cake and really enjoyed it.

Pros: Clearly labelled vegan dishes on the menu , Delicious

Cons: Serves a lot of non-vegan dishes

Great food & Atmosphere

Delicious tasty vegetarian tapas, also have a good selection of wines. We called in after a little shopping trip and was fortunate to be given a table on the ground floor. The staff were very attentive and really friendly, had a wonderful relaxing meal.

Pros: Food, good size portions, Great service, Relaxing and warm Atmosphere

Vegan options plenty

We had a dinner with friends here and ordered five tapas per couple - there were plenty of choices which were all clearly labelled and super tasty. Would thoroughly recommend the patatas bravas (super tasty!) and the chorizo dish. Food came quickly but we didn’t feel rushed by the staff.

Pros: Clearly labelled vegan options

Cons: A bit pricey once you start adding tapas up

Bland as hell

Astonishing how a place with this many vegan offerings and potential has chefs that don't seem to know how to season food, it was really surprising. We went on a Sunday night and have been before a long time ago which was better. The cauliflower dish is lousy and has every reason not to be and the side salad is similar. A few dishes were ok, the sticky toffee pudding went down a treat with my 6 year old but took ages to arrive. Recommend take your own salt and pepper and season to taste. Didn't try the vegan paella but would like to, of I go back I might take a lemon with me just in case.

Pros: Lots of options, Lovely staff, Central

Cons: Bland food, such a shame

Satisfying plant-based menu

Plenty of vegan options, but the calamari and kebab was a bit dry - I recommend the chorizo and potatoes! #Veganuary

No está mal

Me gustó poder comer paella vegana y otras opciones tipo tapas, pero la mayoría de oociones eran solo verduritas. Creo que deberían tener opciones un poco más diversas con legumbres u otras cosas.

Pros: Comida rica

Great tapas selection

Serves meat but has a good number of vegetarian and vegan dishes which are clearly marked. Plenty of choice, too many vegetarian options for us to try in one meal!

Delicious Tapas

If you like Tapas, this is the place to go; the atmosphere in the restaurant felt very traditional & so was the menu which had a wide variety of options. The food was high-quality which I think matched the pricing well. Service was quick (although I can imagine it may be a bit slower at busier times). The only issue I can see is that there aren't enough vegan options considering they recommend 3-4 dishes per person: if you only went once it'd be fine, but if you went again you'd have to have some the same (which for some isn't an issue anyway). Also there's only 1 vegan dessert option. But overall would definitely recommend.

Good veggie range

The veggie tapas list was longer than the meat and fish lists on the menu. Quite a few vegan options. Everything we ordered was delicious. We each had 4 plates and were comfortably full. I wish I'd had 3 plates and saved space for dessert! They looked amazing.

Went at lunchtime. Nice chilled atmosphere. Might be louder in the evenings?

We were given a QR code to scan and had to order and pay online. I've never done that before but it was really straight forward and meant we didn't have to wait for a bill when we were done. I think this is a Covid thing. I can see it takes some pressure off the staff. They were still attentive and friendly when we had a question.

Fantastic vg options

Plenty of vegan and veggie options, even on the reduced post-lockdown menu. Staff were helpful and able to suggest which veggie options could be made vegan too. Lovely to have somewhere with good vegan food made from vegetables and not completely meat substitutes as many of the vegan only eateries in the city are.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Friendly staff

Cons: No vegan desserts

Tapas and paella delight

First visit to this branch of Ambiente Tapas and we were not disappointed. Great way to reach location , even if you are driving. Lots of room in the restaurant may be that there are less tables because of covid restrictions. Helpful waiting staff who explained the app ordering process. This worked very well. Food was excellent and even with a reduced menu there was plenty to choose from. There is a small bit of confusion on app as some items are labelled’ vegan’ some have ‘vg’ and some which are vegan aren’t labelled at all like the paella. Waiting staff on hand to check with kitchen. Lovely food. Swiftly dispatched. Obvious wait for paella.

Pros: Very tasty, Vegan paella , Nice ambiance

Cons: Labelling on app
