A British holidaymaker has become embroiled in a row after she was pictured mocking a Spanish restaurants vegan offering.

Georgina Jarvis and her family dined at Restaurant Bahai in the resort town of Fuengirola at the weekend during a family holiday to the Costa del Sol.

Jarvis was reportedly served a plate of raw tomatoes and red onions after telling waiting staff she was vegan. A picture of the dish was posted on Twitter by her 17-year-old sister Gabbie.

Out for tea and the restaurant claimed they catered for vegans, this was my sisters amazing vegan meal, posted Gabbie, with a picture of the dish. Ms Jarvis claims the dish cost between 6 and 9; the restaurants menu states a price of 6.50.

Telegraph Travel contacted Restaurant Bahai, a family run eatery with a five-star rating on TripAdvisor.

We are not a vegan restaurant, we are a barbecue restaurant, said co-owner, Ruben Gomez. We remember the customer and she ordered the dish from the menu we thought it was funny because usually people order that as a side dish.

Gomez suggested Ms Jarviss sister had posted the photo to boost her status on Twitter where she has 10.7k followers. So far the Tweet has been liked more than 61k times.

In an interview with the MailOnline, Ms Jarvis seemed to soften her stance.

The food was disappointing compared to the options in England, but I was very happy that they accommodated me, she said. The tweet posted may make veganism look inaccessible, but in reality I normally have no issues eating out in restaurants, and normally have many options.
