traditional spinach with garbanzos<\/p><\/div>\n

For vegetarians it can be a challenge eating out in Spain, but although most tapa bars and restaurants focus on meat and fish dishes, there are usually a few good vegetarian options available. For example: tortilla espa\u00f1ola<\/em> (potato & egg omelette), pisto<\/em> (like a ratatouille, often served with a fried egg on top), grilled mushrooms, revueltos<\/em> (scrambled eggs with various added ingredients), espinacas con garbanzos<\/em> (spinach with chick peas) and a variety of cold salads. And sometimes, if you tell the waiter you are vegetarian, they may be able to conjure up a special ‘veggie dish’ for you that isn’t on the menu.<\/p>\n

I remember many years ago when our vegetarian friend ordered some grilled mushrooms and was quite understandably aghast when they came with chunks of jam\u00f3n in it. But no problem – we just told the waiter that there had been no mention of jam\u00f3n in the menu description and she said they would immediately make up another portion of mushrooms for our friend without jam\u00f3n, free of charge.<\/p>\n

a modern take on spinach with garbanzos, with slow poached egg<\/p><\/div>\n

These days most bars and restaurants are more sensitive to food preferences and allergies, but always best to ask ahead of time if what sounds like a vegetable dish contains any meat or fish. Unless it’s a pre-prepared salad like ensalada rusa<\/em> (a potato and mayonnaise salad, usually with either prawns or tuna) they should be able to accommodate you and make whatever changes are necessary.<\/p>\n

Vegans will no doubt have even more difficulty finding suitable food at tapas bars, but people on very restricted diets are probably already used to this, even at home. Again, just ask first if (for example) the grilled courgettes come covered in bechamel, or if the pisto has a fried egg on top.<\/p>\n

\"\"Below is a list of tapas bars and restaurants that I consider to be “vegetarian friendly”, meaning that aside from your basic tortilla de patatas and cheese they also offer 2-3 other good vegetarian options. There is certainly a new trend these days to offer more interesting vegetarian dishes than before. Makes a nice change.<\/p>\n
