Seperate Vegan Menu

There is a dedicated vegan menu with plenty of options. I had a vegetable enchilada with vegan cheese, and nachos topped with refried beans, vegan cheese, and salad. Everything was delicious and service was extremely friendly.

Pros: Vegan menu , Delicious food , Friendly staff

Cons: Beers were not labelled vegan on the menu

Top Spot

The tapas options were fantastic all round, but the highlight of the evening was the delicious dessert! Something that is also wonderful is the variety of vegan options available (so make sure to ask for the vegan menu!)

If you have a sweet tooth and are looking for a great time, don't miss out on Es Bar!

Pros: Wonderful staff , Delicious options, Incredible dessert

Ask for a vegan menu

They have soooo many vegan options. Althought make sure you ask for a separate vegan menu. Food is always great, reliable and tasty. Service is always spot on as well. Mostly tapas so great if you have a group where some are more hungry than others. Prices are very reasonable. Also amazing cocktails although these are more pricey!!

Pros: Lots of vegan choice (but ask for vegan menu), Amazing food, Very reasonable prices

Cons: Sometimes hard to get a table

Great vegan menu!

So pleasantly surprised by their vegan menu and delicious food! Really the best mexican food we’ve had in Europe, who would’ve thought, in a little town like Keswick! They’ve got vegan desserts too. Highly recommend.

Nice atmosphere.

Friendly venue with nice staff. Quite a range of fancy cocktails and so on. Vegan wines clearly labelled on the list. It’s a fairly simple menu for the vegan Tapas options but I enjoyed the enchiladas - they had a decent chilli kick. It’s a good bar to just have a drink and chill out too.

Extensive vegan menu

A really good vegan menu. It is a tapas restaurant so they recommend you order around 5 dishes between two. None of the dishes are meant to be a standalone main dish.
We had onion rings with guacamole and salsa, garlic bread with olives, vegan cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, enchiladas and a lovely salad. This was loads of food for two hungry people and was all really, really good.

Average

Dined here after reading reviews on HC. Friendly service and bespoke vegan menu.
I had the enchilada which was ok after a long day walking. But could do with more filling.
Also ordered the potatas bravas, expecting a traditional dish. Instead was just fried chunks of potatoes covered in ketchup and mayo. Hence, a drop in star rating. Overall thought it was overrated.

Pros: Vegan menu

Amazeballs

First off, they have a separate vegan menu. It's not in the window so don't be put off if you don't see it.

Ordered Padron Peppers and Garlic Bread as a sort of starter. The GB was the best vegan one I've had. Then vegan enchiladas as the main. First time having it since being vegan. It was to die for.

Had a beer but the vegan wines are identified on the menu.

Definitely worth booking in advance.

Nice place. Friendly service. Great vegan and veg options

Is a smallish place and was busy. So had to wait a little bit. Has a seperate vegan menu and also has some vegan wine and other beverages. Almost everything we had was very good. The began nachos were very good and the special 'loaded garlic bread' (vegan), was excellent. The vegan pallella was a bit disappointing, mushy and bland Friendly service and staff and food good. Would recommend.

Pros: Seperate vegan menu. , Few vegan drink options.

A great wee place

We had tapas from the vegan menu. It was hard to decide what to choose as everything on the vegan menu looked good.
We chose four tapas between the two of us and enjoyed every one of them. They were not served at the same time which meant that we enjoyed a journey through the range of delicious dishes.
The wine and tequila were also excellent.
The service was first class and the place was warm and welcoming.
I wrote that in March 2018 and since then we have been back a few times and every time we gave had great food and service.

Pros: A good vegan menu with lots of choice

Decent tapas and great craft beer

Cozy and friendly bar with dining upstairs if prefer. Separate vegan menu always makes me happier as demonstrates their understanding and motivation. Great craft beer and lots of lovely dogs in the bar!

Separate Vegan Menu in Ambleside and Keswick

We ate at two Bar eS restaurants while staying in the Lake District -- the original location in Keswick and the recently opened one in Ambleside. Both offer a separate vegan menu which was very welcome, and there were some delicious tapas available, including patatas bravas, Mexican bean stew and a special garlic bread with sun blushed tomatos and roasted peppers. There were also two vegan mains, which we didn't have a chance to try. The vegan menu also states that vegan wine and beer options are available. Both locations would be ideal for lunch, dinner or having drinks in the evening.

Pros: Helpful staff, Separate vegan menu

Cons: None
