First visited Raices in November, also my first visit to the city of Granada. Immediately enamored with both, returned this past weekend for what turned out to be another great experience.
This time, during lunch with a friend, we shared the mushroom and cheese croquettes...as a starter, per the recommendation of our server. Delicious! (I don't eat most "croquetas" in Spain because they're filled with meat.) We also split the scrumptious Verbena salad: tomatoes, black olives, avocado, artichoke hearts, hearts of palm, greens and beets with a zesty garlic-enhanced dressing. Fabulous combination of flavors! My friend had the sweet potato and ginger soup, I went with the cheesy french onion soup (another dish I rarely order because of beef-based broths) and we enjoyed both. Finished with the unique, earthy carrot cake and coffee.
A fabulous meal with friendly service in a comfortable, inviting environment. As my friend says, we can't wait to come back to try more items on the extensive menu, which features both vegetarian and vegan options.More
