Unfriendly, uncooperative, unprofessional - Edit
Rarely have I found a waiter (manager?) that would seem so bothered even when the restaurant is pretty much empty. First, as I wrote in a comment below, he'll refer me to another Lebanese restaurant in the city (a different company, mind you), as they don't actually offer that much for vegans. Then why would they create an account on HappyCow and publish all those pics a few years back?
Read moreI still thought their vegetable kibbe would be worth a try, as it could be served without yoghurt. Alas, on the occasion I wanted to try it they were still in the process of making it, so no luck.
I gave El coto another chance, thinking that third time's a charm.. but there's certainly nothing charming about this fella, who assured me in a rather sharp tone that "as I told you last time, we don't do take away". Surely he did not? To sum up, they won't cater for vegans or takeaway customers, a group I don't really belong to.. and then you have a the lack of clarity as to whether their baklava is vegan, as per my comment below. Go figure.

Tasty vegan options // Sabrosas opciones veganas - Edit
Vegan options clearly marked. We tried the vegetal kibbe, choplets and baba ghanoush. Everything was amazing and highly recommended. Prices are reasonable.

Not sure if the baklava is vegan, as staff said the other day it contained butter. They even referred me to their competitors El rincón libanés for more vegan items!
Read moreEl coto doesn't seem to have a proper website, but this https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=685336855379363&set=pcb.685337585379290 is the same thing I found in the restaurant: neither dairy nor eggs in the baklava, but still not vegan. Maybe honey? Will double-check.
