Red Velvet

Given how «alternative» it is, we’re always surprised by the lack of Vegan-​friendly eateries in Sitges.
We found this place completely by chance but thank goodness we did. It overlooks the promenade and seafront and has a range of veggie and Vegan options on the menu including a ‘Vegan Burger with Chips’ which is lovely. Next time we go back we’ll try the ‘Vegan Goan Curry’ which looks great.
They have soy milk too and were happy to Vegan-​ise drinks that were on the menu e.g. they made us a soy café frappé. The do have ‘Vegan Chai Latte’ listed too.
When we last ate at Red Velvet it coincided with the Sitges Tapas Festival. Every participating café and restaurant in the town had submitted one tapas dish which could be purchased for a limited period. Hats off to Red Velvet for submitting the only Vegan entry!
Apparently they also have Vegan cakes in the Summer. A shame that they don’t do them all year round!
A great place for lunch (they only open in the evenings during the Summer season) and highly recommended. Fantastic, friendly service too

Four stars because the everything in the picture is right. The interior is fresh looking, if I’d say ‘modern rustic’ that would not be fair. It’s modern with a dash of rustic. White and grisblue combined perfectly, the polished slate coloured concrete floor and the Eames chairs give the place a contemporary feel. The tables, counter and wooden balustrade add the ‘rustic-​ness’.
It’s very inviting.
The restaurant has a small menu (which I think is how it’s supposed to be) with vegetarian, gluten free and organic options. There are also dishes that change and are not on the menu. During our visit I’ve seen several orders for other guests pass by our table that caught my eye!
The amuse bouche was very nice. Had one of the organic salads with red beetroot and as main course the chicken teriyaki. Both were very nice. Only thing for me was that the portion was a bit on the small size, partly probably because I didn’t eat the rice due to my low carb diet. I was seriously considering having one of the dishes not on the menu: tower of grilled vegetables with a slice of goats cheese on top; it looked so nice every time it passed by our table (-:
As a special treat I had a super nice chocolate chip cookie. The texture was just perfect! Extra nice as it was my only carb treat this month.
Of course I will have to mention the special display with an assortment of cakes, cookies and cupcakes (also gluten free options). Very, very tempting!
Espresso is 100% ecologically grown and the tea organic.
All in all the diner experience was very nice. Not at all like most of the tourist oriented places a place like Sitges is obviously littered with.
A nice place to relax and enjoy some responsible food!
