Bcn Taste And Tradition - Houston

This restaurant in Houston has a dedicated vegan menu, making it a great option for a date night. It's rare to find a place that caters to vegans with such delicious food. Many vegan options in Houston are deep-fried or only offer burgers, so it's refreshing to have a more upscale choice. The food and service are excellent, and they also serve great G&Ts!

Our experience at this restaurant was not ideal due to the long wait time of at least 2 hours. However, the chef from Barcelona creates delicious dishes. The separate vegan menu is highly recommended. Some of the food options may not be appealing to vegans, but the salad with beet "ravioli" was exceptional. The white beans with tomatoes and mushrooms were creamy and flavorful, although they could use a little more seasoning. The ginger Gin Tonic was excellent and the restaurant excelled in their G T game.

The restaurant offers a separate vegan menu in addition to their regular menu. There are a variety of vegan starters, salads, soups, and mains to choose from. I decided to order exclusively from the vegan menu and started with the papas bravas and watermelon and greens salad. For my main course, I had the pea and fava fricassee, ratatouille, and basil rice, and finished off with a fruit dessert. The atmosphere was beautiful and the staff were very professional. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience.

Our reservation couldn't be found by the hostess, who claimed the restaurant didn't work with OpenTable and requested to see our email confirmation. Despite showing her the confirmation, we were shocked and disappointed by the experience. We had heard great things about this upscale restaurant, so to be treated as if we were walk-ins was unacceptable. I had made the reservation months in advance due to its popularity. Eventually, a manager begrudgingly seated us and we felt rushed throughout our meal. We even shared our experience with work colleagues at a nearby table, who were just as astonished by the situation.

My wife and I had a fantastic time celebrating our anniversary at this restaurant. The food was excellent and we appreciated the thoughtful touch of "Happy Anniversary" written on our dessert plate. We were even treated to complimentary dessert wine. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this restaurant to our friends.
