Restaurant Oslo — Restaurant in Valencia

I was expecting a lot based on other reviews and I was sadly very disappointed. The food was average at best, everything tasted quite bland and it’s quite overpriced for what it is. The only thing I might have again is the moussaka which was all right, especially the tomato sauce was very flavourful. The service wasn’t great either, at times it felt like the waiter had forgotten about us after asking him for another minute to review the menu and him coming back 10+ min later. And at other times it felt incredibly rushed - he brought us all our starters and first courses at the same time, which literally left the table completely covered in plates, and then brought out the single second course quite a while later.

I ordered a dish that is marked gluten free and vegan on the menu - a duo of dips. And I got a little basket of store bought gf crackers with it, while my partner got proper flatbread. Quite disappointing as I expected something more from a dish that’s originally supposed to be gf, it felt more like a quick improvised substitute.

After dinner we both felt quite sick - we were thinking they might have used regular cheese on the moussaka instead of vegan one. Just speculating of course, but it did leave an additional sour taste in our mouth after an already...

Starters were very tasty but small. The waitress was extremely rude from the start. We ordered the Thai pasta which the menu stated was spicy but it was ridiculously sweet. When we asked to take back the pasta, the waitress started slamming the plates and cutlery.

This review response says it all. If you’re reading this, avoid this restaurant. We opened the window because the restaurant smelt awful upstairs. Yes the starters are very tasty but they are small. This main was not nice at all unless you like melted Haribo as a sauce. The waitress was unduly rude and certainly did slam the plates when we said the main was too sweet and had no spice in it whatsoever although stated it was spicy in the menu. We had eaten a forkful each, not half the dish! I appreciate they’re running a business and I would have happily paid the full price if the dish was at least edible but simply put, it just wasn’t. We appreciate the fact that the waitress couldn't speak English but we used Google translate when needed. We have been to many restaurants where the staff cannot speak English but it was the mannerisms and attitude...

I highly recommend this restaurant! It's a vegetarian restaurant with clearly labelled vegan dishes as well as many dishes that can be made vegan upon request. There is an English menu, which is greatly appreciated.

The dishes are very unique and creative. My non-vegan family and I thoroughly enjoyed our appetizers: the vegan ceviche and seitan salad with orange, mustard dressing, & avocado ice cream. I loved the ravioli with sundried tomato filling, mushroom demi-glace, and truffle oil - the texture and flavors were great, and the truffle oil added a lovely touch. The caramelized cookie cake that we got for dessert was OK but I've had better.

Their sangria is really strong (which is what we were going for, LOL) and I also sampled a delicious local vegan white wine from Valencia.

It came to 120 euros for 4 people, including 3 courses and drinks. Not cheap but reasonable for the quality of the food. I would recommend booking a table as it can get busy - we came on a Sunday at 2 pm without a reservation and we got the last available table! Service was...
