The Star Anise Arts Cafe - Stroud

Beautiful ambiente with friendly staff, a good selection of great South American directed. recommend the tacos especially the fish of prawn option and imo the best tasting coffee in the city

After years of screaming at the lack of good Latin American food in the wilts Glos region, I almost stumbled out on galgos. I immediately yelled at my Stroud-based friends, because I didn't tell myself they had a freaking Venezuelan restaurant in their city! and then went to order all the food (it was definitiw too much to eat and I had to take home, but it was so worth it that they should try: the tequeños. ask each Venezuelan and they will tell them that we all miss most. these are our mini castors, our mini pot pees. the finger food we're messing with at the parties. I love this thing. the patacons, because this is better with fried plantains. preferably with cheese or roasted pork or both. a mixture of carne Mechada/Black Beans/Rice tajadas. because it is our national dish and super tasty. they bring their friends because it's a lot to eat. order a cocktail or two because they are ingenious (also the mocktails! they have a chat with oriana that is as beautiful as the place they own. enjoy the equipment and the music. If they are not full after eating, order a tres leches cake. if they are full, they will order it anyway. take it home and enjoy it later with a brew while thinking when they can go back to eat more.

Great food, cocktails and atmosphere. Fresh and varied menu perfect for large groups wanting to try some authentic Latin cuisine. Very friendly staff too. Will definitely return.

Great menu, with small plates (ideal for sharing) from a range of different South American countries, and plenty of vegetarian options. Everything we ordered was delicious! Loved the fun, colourful decor and service was super friendly and efficient too.

A random punt on a Saturday evening meal during the city and could not be happier with the service, eat or drink. very friendly reception and directly shown on our prepaid table. they asked if we had been before, what we had not, and explained their traffic light system (it was by the way) and how to select items from the menu and recommend them at height. All right. ends up with cocktails, haupt- und desserts. the place is really quirky and had an excellent atmosphere. will come back 100% if next round. Thank you!
