I will definitely be going back to try some of the other <strong>yummy looking food on their menu</strong>- lunch options include <strong>soups, burgers, falafel, risotto</strong> and many more. They also have <strong>breakfast and dinner menus,</strong> or just pop in for tea and a selection of home-made cakes like we did!<br /><br />The <strong>staff were lovely and attentive</strong>, and obliged me by allowing me to take a photo of them!</div>  <div><div style="height: 20px; overflow: hidden;"></div> 				<div id='165260644905684286-gallery' class='imageGallery' style='line-height: 0px; padding: 0; margin: 0'><div id='165260644905684286-imageContainer0' style='float:left;width:49.95%;margin:0;'><div id='165260644905684286-insideImageContainer0' style='position:relative;margin:5px;'><div class='galleryImageHolder' style='position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75.08%;'><div class='galleryInnerImageHolder'><a href='http://www.awomanswords.com/uploads/4/0/4/8/40481171/img-0001_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox[gallery165260644905684286]' onclick='if (!window.lightboxLoaded) return false'><img src='http://www.awomanswords.com/uploads/4/0/4/8/40481171/img-0001.jpg' class='galleryImage' _width='400' _height='266' style='position:absolute;border:0;width:100%;top:5.71%;left:0%' /></a></div></div></div></div><div id='165260644905684286-imageContainer1' style='float:left;width:49.95%;margin:0;'><div id='165260644905684286-insideImageContainer1' style='position:relative;margin:5px;'><div class='galleryImageHolder' style='position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75.08%;'><div class='galleryInnerImageHolder'><a href='http://www.awomanswords.com/uploads/4/0/4/8/40481171/img-0002_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox[gallery165260644905684286]' onclick='if (!window.lightboxLoaded) return false'><img src='http://www.awomanswords.com/uploads/4/0/4/8/40481171/img-0002.jpg' class='galleryImage' _width='400' _height='266' style='position:absolute;border:0;width:100%;top:5.71%;left:0%' /></a></div></div></div></div><div id='165260644905684286-imageContainer2' style='float:left;width:49.95%;margin:0;'><div id='165260644905684286-insideImageContainer2' style='position:relative;margin:5px;'><div class='galleryImageHolder' style='position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75.08%;'><div class='galleryInnerImageHolder'><a href='http://www.awomanswords.com/uploads/4/0/4/8/40481171/img-0003_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox[gallery165260644905684286]' onclick='if (!window.lightboxLoaded) return false'><img src='http://www.awomanswords.com/uploads/4/0/4/8/40481171/img-0003.jpg' class='galleryImage' _width='400' _height='266' style='position:absolute;border:0;width:100%;top:5.71%;left:0%' /></a></div></div></div></div><div id='165260644905684286-imageContainer3' style='float:left;width:49.95%;margin:0;'><div id='165260644905684286-insideImageContainer3' style='position:relative;margin:5px;'><div class='galleryImageHolder' style='position:relative; width:100%; padding:0 0 75.08%;'><div class='galleryInnerImageHolder'><a href='http://www.awomanswords.com/uploads/4/0/4/8/40481171/img-0004_orig.jpg' rel='lightbox[gallery165260644905684286]' onclick='if (!window.lightboxLoaded) return false'><img src='http://www.awomanswords.com/uploads/4/0/4/8/40481171/img-0004.jpg' class='galleryImage' _width='400' _height='600' style='position:absolute;border:0;width:50.05%;top:0%;left:24.97%' /></a></div></div></div></div><span style='display: block; clear: both; height: 0px; overflow: hidden;'></span></div> 				<div style="height: 20px; overflow: hidden;"></div></div>  <div class="paragraph"><em>Other places we visited were:</em><br /><strong><font size="5"><br />&#8203;Harvest</font></strong>, the health food shop selling everything from fruits and vegetables to deli delicacies, and help-yourself-style grains and spices.&nbsp;<br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/Harvest-Bath-115818595106280/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/Harvest-Bath-115818595106280/</a><br /><br /><strong><font size="5">Rosarios</font></strong>, a little Italian style cafe selling vegan and gluten free cakes.<br />They made me chai latte with soy milk bless them!&nbsp;<br /><a href="http://www.roscoff.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.roscoff.co.uk/</a>&nbsp;<br /><br /><strong>The Green Rocket website:</strong>&nbsp;<a href="http://www.thegreenrocket.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.thegreenrocket.co.uk/</a></div>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nourish, Inverness]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.awomanswords.com/restaurant-reviews/nourish-inverness]]></link><comments><![CDATA[http://www.awomanswords.com/restaurant-reviews/nourish-inverness#comments]]></comments><pubDate>Tue, 20 Sep 2016 17:53:43 GMT</pubDate><category><![CDATA[Scotland]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.awomanswords.com/restaurant-reviews/nourish-inverness</guid><description><![CDATA[Nourish is an organic vegetarian restaurant in Church Lane, Inverness.My auntie and I visited one afternoon, and the cosy little cafe was bustling with people coming and going the whole time we were there.
