CLOSED: La Zanahoria

Open until 11.30pm on the Tuesday we went, we were very pleased to find it! (Just arrived in Zaragoza and very hungry, expecting it to have closed.)

There was only one man running the whole show but he was coping admirably. The place is colourful and homely.

He gave us a free pre-starter due to the wait he knew we'd have, though it wasn't that long really.

There's a good range of food on the menu. The starters were nice - we had spinach and almonds with mashed potato, and vegetable rice. The mains were very good, vegetable lasagna and mushroom tart. Not huge portions but still filling.

There's lots of booze on the menu but a very small range of non-alcoholic drinks, and the bread isn't free (it's 75 cents but he asks you if you'd like some as if it's included).

Price isn't cheap, but the food is nice. We were given vouchers for discount on future visits.

La Zanahoria has a good selection of vegetarian items. The dishes are quiet new and interesting, but it is all prepared food which is reheated for couple of minutes in a microwave - that too not heated all the way through. But still not bad food. You can go there if you are really desperate for vegetarian food.
