Edinburgh Branch. The theme of the tasting menu was Catalonia. Unfortunately, this meal was a game of two halves, in that the 'original' menu offered a far better meal (and far better value for money) than the 'vegetarian' alternative. While the 'original' plates served were artistically plated and very obviously better value in terms of actual food cost, the vegetarian plates looked like a consolation prize in comparison. One original dish - served with chicken and mushroom - was presented to our poor vegetarian guest at the table with a few more mushrooms to compensate for the 'missing' chicken. Another dish where the original option was a plate featuring pollock, mussels and black rice cakes was paired for the vegetarian alternative with an unappetising green risotto with a soggy courgette slice on the top and an emulsion the colour and flavour of thousand island dressing. To add insult to injury, the next horrible course for our poor vegetarian friend was a lukewarm, rubbery omelette which they were expected to force down while we were served pork belly, Spanish sausage with a white bean ragu. A shockingly poor menu for non-meat eating diners.
