Cafe Tuscano

Stopped by with my partner on our way home from a holiday in the Lake District. We were attracted by the fact that they cater for Vegans (I'm vegan). We were greeted on arrival and as we hadn't booked the only table they had for us was in the middle of two other couples and we were very close (more on that to follow). The food was outstanding - I had the Plant Breakfast with extra avocado, my partner had the Salmon and Cheshire eggs. Both were impeccably cooked and very generous portions. The only slight negative was the coffee, it was quite bland - not sure why this was. The food is quite pricey here, but it is very good quality and the service was quick and efficient. The real negative was how close the tables are together. One of the couples we sat next to were some of the most aggressively pretentious people I've ever had the misfortune of being within earshot of. They were banging on about how they avoid seed oils and their microbiomes, which mantras they were using and how a podcast had changed one of their lives. It made for an extremely uncomfortable dining experience. I would like to think this wouldn't happen to most people and we were unlucky. All in all I would recommend April's for the food and the service but unless you like being sat on top of people and having to listen to their conversation then I would avoid it.

We dined in as a party of 3 plus a baby to have brunch. It had good plant based options. I ordered the plant based breakfast. It was good. The service was friendly and quick and the decor in the restaurant was cool. The other two in our parry had Buddha bowls which were tasty. Slightly on the expensive side.

My wife organised a surprise birthday party for me using AK as a private venue. The evening couldn’t’t have been any better. A lovely welcome for all the guests. The food, service & atmosphere were all perfect; a most memorable evening. A special “thank you” to Forbes and the staff for looking after us so well. See you soon
