Lorenzos - Plymouth

We had a last-minute pre-theatre lunch reservation and it was my first time visiting this restaurant. I'm happy we chose it because we discovered a great spot with delicious tapas and excellent service. We will definitely be booking again in the future!

What a great find during our recent theatre visit. We visited at 7:30pm to miss the pre theatre rush and this was perfectly timed (as they were apparently fully booked before that). My wife and I chose 3 tapas each, along with a plate of bread to “mop up” the residual sauces. This was plenty, and honestly we could probably have done with 5 between us. I have a good appetite but still couldn’t face a sweet! Whilst we were there, another customer had the paella (comes with a choice of ingredients so you can eat what you’d rather), and it looked lovely. I’ll probably have that next time!All the food was served by the friendly waiting staff quickly and came nicely hot with all being really tasty and lovely. There are a number of main meals if you’d rather not try the tapas with everything on the menu being reasonably priced. We will come here again when next in Plymouth.

We went to Lorenzos for our office Christmas party and had a fantastic experience. The front of house staff were very accommodating, provided excellent service, and helped make our night even better. The food was delicious and arrived promptly. The cocktails were also delicious and it was refreshing to see unique options on the menu. Overall, Lorenzos was the perfect setting for a staff party and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and relaxed atmosphere for their team to enjoy.

I would not have chosen this place to eat due to the fact there are no vegan meals at all. The manager did kindly phone me to take me through the menu however suggestions that I could have some of the dishes with 3 or 4 main ingredients removed were not what I wanted to hear! Plymouth has 3 excellent vegan restaurants so there are obviously enough people who want to eat tasty and well cooked vegan meals to make it worth their while whereas this restaurant can’t even seem to provide vegan cheese to replace regular cheese for Nachos. I ordered salad and chips which were fine.I tasted salsa from my friends meal and it wasn’t very nice definitely not home made. The sherry I ordered was minuscule.

Would probably give this 3 1/2 out of 5. Used to come here quite often but this is my first visit in around 10 years. Plus points, service very good and friendly, we went for tapas, food very nice, good size and varied. Wine came with actual ice in the bucket with I think is always a must. Down side is that all the tables were bare and had a cold feel to the place. Some candles on each table or flower decor was needed. Lastly and I know this is an old building, but you open the main door and you are hit by this strong smell of damp. Something needs to be done about this, or at the very least manage this the best way possible via air freshers or something as first impressions count. Overall good but needs a freshen up a bit.
