October 16, 2008: Anada

Ume Nomiya, thus its replacement amongst a pricier, meatier, Castilian eating seat wasn't something to fill upwardly me amongst joy (even if the chefs did accept Movida connections). Still, 1 time it opened the reviews starting coming in, as well as on a quick stroll past times 1 luncheon fourth dimension I confirmed that they offered plenty vego treats to feed us. So, months later all the buzz, nosotros in conclusion got our deed together as well as tried it out.

All the rave reviews combine amongst the growing hipness of Gertrude Street to guarantee that Anada volition locomote busy. We booked a brace of weeks inward advance to locomote on the prophylactic side - as well as and then decided nosotros needed to reschedule a few days beforehand. Which worked out well, because Anada had no tape of our booking. Weird. Luckily they could nonetheless tally us inward on a Th night, thus at that spot was no damage done.

It's a bustling footling place, amongst tables jammed inward fairly unopen together, moody lighting as well as the hippest of indie hits on the stereo. The bill of fare is divided into tapas ($3-$6, almost no vego options) as well as raciones ($9-$30, vii vego options). After much fighting as well as some intelligence amongst the staff, Cindy as well as settled on 4 raciones betwixt us, spell Mike as well as Jo chose a much to a greater extent than complex combination of tapas as well as raciones.

Our get-go 2 dishes came at the same time: Patatas a lo pobre ($10.50) as well as an aubergine as well as tomato plant pilav, amongst dill as well as yoghurt ($9.00). The miserable man's potatoes - deadening cooked spuds amongst peppers as well as bay inward crude oil - is basically the same equally the Movida version. It's a traditional Castilian dish, thus that's hardly surprising, but past times inviting such a right away comparison, Anada is taking a chip of a adventure - these spuds were pretty good, but they didn't mensurate upwardly to the divine version turned out past times the Movida folks (and were $1 to a greater extent than expensive!).

out as well as about as well as at home. This was a pretty impressive version - creamy, rich as well as amount of flavour.

Claire's review first, I'm certain she'd accept been to a greater extent than interested), although the dessert options all looked intriguing (to me anyway). All inward all it was a slightly disappointing repast - if exclusively because expectations were high. The prices (for vegos anyway) are comparable to Movida, as well as the nutrient as well as service both brutal a footling brusque of those standards. Regardless, I intend that vegos as well as Castilian tapas don't actually belong together - I'm non certain we're the audience that they're actually shooting for. Still, nosotros did halt upwardly amongst 4 really enjoyable dishes for less than $40, thus there's non actually anything to complain about.
