Menu of the Green Olive tapas bar and restaurant
The Green Olive has kindly sent us
a list of all the dishes it thinks are vegetarian on their menu.
However, we have no confirmation that the cheese is vegetarian nor
that the eggs free range. We're hoping they will soon also tell
us which dishes are definitely vegan, though they have specified
which veggie dishes contain cheese or egg below, so this should be
a good guide, and it tends to be fairly obvious anyway with
tapas.
V : vegetarian dishes
G: contains gluten
N: contains nuts or nuts products
