Vegan and vegetarian haute cuisine! - Edit
Amazing vegeterian and vegan restaurant in Barcelona!
Read moreA bit more expensive than the other veggie places in town but the quality of the food is extraordinary.
I tried the vegan ceviche, the seitan with mushrooms and rice + the pear and white chocolate cake and everything was incredibly tasty. They are also specialized in juice production and offer a great variety of original ones.
If you are willing to spend some money for a good meal, than it is totally worth it!

Disappointing - Edit
We were 4, having lunch menu (starter and main). Starters were still ok, cesars salad and pumkin soup, but the main dishes nothing special, not very tasty, in addition presented like in a canteen, just "thrown" on a plate. Disappointed after so many good comments. I can do better and nicer at home!

a reliable gem - Edit
This is a very special restaurant. It seems to be really popular and booking for evening dining is recommended. The food is excellent, there is a great vegan selection of savoury and sweet dishes. The interior is beautiful and it's somewhere to impress your vegetarian or carnivorous friends.

...and now 5 Happy Cows - Edit
A really wonderful place. We were disappointed in 2009 when it was a pretty basic diner type place called Vegetalia but it has since become the legendary Teresa Carles and a true sensation emerged. The interior is stylish and modern yet rustic. Originall red brick workings have been beautifully exposed and the food is pretty exceptional too. Money has been spent here making the setting fit for a memorable dining experience. I'd certainly suggest going here for a fabulous breakfast/brunch, an afternoon lunch treat or an evening dining indulgence. Portion sizes can be small but the quality is exceptionally high. It was particulalry high on April 11th 2016 when the Salmon tofu and vegan lasagne dishes we had were quite indescribably amazing. Without question this is a 5 Happy Listing and I have promoted it from my previous rating of 4. House wine is well priced at around €13 a bottle and main courses range from €10 to €14. Service is relaxed and everything is quite perfect here. A place to be enjoyed and savoured. HINT from the Barcelona Happy Cow ambassador... booking ahead by phone or online is hugely recommeded. Seriously, even on a Monday night this place is absolutely packed. Don't be disappointed.

Must Go - Edit
This is a must go in Barcelona and one of my favourite places in the city. It is always super crowded but the staff is nice and the food is delicious. I always go with anything made with rice and leave feeling super pleased. They also make amazing desserts.

Like it! - Edit
I really liked this place. Tried a cold press juice and it was amazing, tried the cheese croquete and it was really good, and for main dish I had a seitan burguer, really good as everything else! The waiter was really nice and I had a great time there. Only down side is the price... Payed 20 euros for these 3 things I just mentioned... But the food definetely worth it

Elige un buen plato y triunfa - Edit
Si no reservas mesa la espera es eterna. De hecho aún reservándola es posible que tengas que esperar un rato.
Read moreEl local és cómodo pero hay bastante ruido de las conversaciones. Una pena, el mismo local con los anteriores dueños era un auténtico remanso de paz y silencio incluso cuando estaba lleno.
Los precios son los que son. No es un restaurante barato, así que hay que saber qué pedir. Yo fui en fin de semana, que no hay menú.
De lunes a viernes al mediodía sí puede elegirse menú desde 10€ y poco.
Si vas por carta vale la pena elegir platos grandes. Las opciones para compartir (excepto las croquetas, que son muy pocas) son realmente buenas.
Como plato principal pedimos: Rossejada de fideus (fideuá vegana), arrós negre (vegano), lasanyuki (veget) y Canalón XX (veget). Éramos 4. Los dos platos veganos eran extraordinariamente grandes (y los que más éxito tuvieron). Casi no pudimos acabarlos (los veganos) y estaban deliciosos.
Cómo extra pedimos de postre una "locura" de chocolate. Aunque no había mucha cantidad estaba muy buena.
Nos habría salido más barato si hubiéramos sabido antes qué platos llevaban mucha cantidad y no hubiésemos pedido entrante porque no haría falta.
Lo demás correcto. Pero por el precio que tiene no es para ir cada día. Una vez cada 6 meses tal vez.
Pros: Platos veganos y platos con opción vegana, Cantidad en "Algunos" platos, Comida vegana deliciosa
Cons: Extremadamente caro, Otros platos con poca cantidad, Ensaladas no son gran cosa

Very disappointing - Edit
I was so excited to get a reservation here after reading all the reviews but ended up being so disappointed, particularly by the food (which is obviously the most important thing!).
Read moreFirstly, they wouldn't answer their phone for most of the day so it was hard to get a reservation. We then arrived at the time we were asked to, and were asked to wait ten minutes in the super-crowded waiting area. We squeezed in where we could, then rudely got told to move out of the way by a male staff member whose irritation escaped through his eye roll. The attitude was completely unnecessary and unprofessional.
Ten minutes turned into twenty which turned into thirty, and we still weren't seated. And, by now, we were hungry. Luckily the place is gorgeous to look at, so we enjoyed that whilst waiting.
When finally seated, we chose our meals. I began with a croquette, and although the menu clearly allows you to order one, the waitress struggled to fathom that I wanted one. So I had to explain (in Spanish) it three times and point before she agreed to let me have my one. Luckily, it was absolutely amazing when it came out- sooooo tasty my eyes nearly rolled back in my head.
But, on the awkward side of life, the waitress who had brought it out was clearly meant to have waited until all our meals were ready, as the main waitress nearly yelled at her as she was putting it on our table and then berated her over the top of our heads for about a minute. So uncomfortable, and, again, unprofessional.
We then got our meals. I had a new pasta dish, which was opulently described as being rich with tomatoes and onions and aioli and being roasted in a paella pan. It sounded delicious.
When it came out, however, it turned out to be a pan of over-salted, broken up pieces of spaghetti. That's it. No vegetables, nothing. Just spaghetti and salt, topped with five tiny squeezes of aioli. It has obviously been cooked in something reasonably flavoursome, but the flavour was killed by the salt and there was nothing except pasta and more pasta to eat. I would've killed for a roast tomato or some onion pieces or something green and fresh to be in there. And less salt. I couldn't even finish it- I got halfway- because it was that bad. And I NEVER stop eating food!
The saltiness wasn't aided by the fact that we were refused tap water by being laughed at when we asked for some. We were then sold a bottle of water- 500ml for €2!!- and although we clarified one, not two, we got two. So paid €4 for water.
My friends had the Tofu Salmon, which was effectively a small slab of tofu that had been cooked well and topped with a single asparagus, and the Lasagne, which was tasty but also small. The portions couldn't be considered filling, that was for sure.
I figured dessert had to better, as it sounded amazing in the menu, but I was unfortunately wrong. I ordered a cake with caramelised pears and white chocolate fudge, and out came a rough carrot-type cake with no caramelised pears in sight and the thinnest, tiniest icing that was the white chocolate fudge. We struggled through it, disappointed by the lack of- well, everything.
My friends had ordered the chocolate cake, which was much better but still not great. Although it was lovely and rich, and the flavour was great and the ganache was thick and creamy, it was gluten-free and you could tell they'd used some weird flour in the ganache as it had a slightly sandy texture. It's not that hard to make a rich, creamy, chocolate icing without anything gritty- in fact, just the night before I'd had a life-changing truffle at a local market for €1, and that was made from just cacao, olive oil, and brown sugar. Super smooth, super rich, and much better than this expensive and purportedly amazing restaurant.
So, overall, a very disappointing experience that cost us €54 for three small meals. I would absolutely recommend going elsewhere in Barcelona if you can. There's a gorgeous Hummus bar (Hummus Barcelona) about twelve minutes' walk away that had no waiting lines, the loveliest staff I've ever met, huge and well-priced portions, and food (not just Hummus) so tasty I nearly fainted with joy. So I'd highly recommend skipping the crowds and the mediocre food and heading somewhere less famous that actually delivers on the good food side.
Pros: Nice decor, amazing croquette , many vegan options
Cons: Bad food, descriptions on the menu more appetising, overpriced, unprofessional staff, epic waiting time

delicious food in a trendy setting - Edit
Walked past this place many times in Barcelona but it's always been too full for a table. Finally visited after making a reservation. Very friendly, English menus are available. The choice is good with vegan and gluten free options. The food we all had was delicious. Especially the vegan, gluten-free chocolate cake. Gorgeous. And not too prices either. I shall visit the other restos in the chain.

One of my favorite meals in Barcelona - Edit
One of my favorite meals in Barcelona. I loved the variety of vegan items on the menu. Much better if you can go with others to try more things. We got the nachos (delish!!), tempura (just okay, included green onion which was hardly edible), and the big hit was the tempeh and pumpkin salad. If you don't order a drink or dessert you can get out of there for about 15 Euro, but it can get much more expensive! Their cold pressed juices are some of the best I've ever had so definitely get some to-go!

Disappointing - Edit
I went to have lunch because some reviews said it was one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Barcelona but it was a bit disappointing.
Read moreService was slow and a bit unkind and impersonal (reminds me to a fast food restaurant service) and the food was not very tasty. Furthermore it didn't seem freshly made but I was charged as if it were. In my opinion this restaurant has grown in customers and space but not in quality.

Cons: food, service, price

Nice restaurant - Edit
During my stay in Barcelona I ate out here on two occasions and enjoyed the food. The first night I had a beautiful lasagna the cashew cheese was amazing I would recommend trying it for sure. The restaurant itself is very elegant with polite staff which is always a bonus. However I was disappointed when I asked the waiter which of the wines on the menu were vegan and I was told none of them were unfortunately. The food here is a little bit expensive in comparison to the other vegan/vegetarian restaurants I tried but I would definitely recommend it to anyone who was planning on going. The food is also presented beautifully.

Nice decor & ambience, good food and location :) - Edit
My partner and I went here for lunch and really enjoyed it!
Read moreIt is a Saturday so I should have thought ahead to book but we weren't really thinking and arrived around midday - we had to wait about 5 minutes and were seated. The restaurant has lovely decor and ambience - nice exposed brick and really nicely presented :) I love a dining experience with the whole package and this place delivered :)
We ordered 2 starters to share - the nachos & tempura (both vegan) and both were lovely! We ordered a main each - my boyfriend ordered the cannelloni - he said it was really good (not vegan so I didn't try) - very cheesy and creamy but tasty he said. I ordered the tofu 'salmon' which wasn't bad but it wasn't great - I probably wouldn't order it again but it was not too bad. I much preferred the entree's though.
We both ordered green cold-press juices which were good - however we were disappointed they were not fresh juice, they were bottled and not made on site. We also ordered cappuccino's which were quite good - nice to have a coffee with soy milk again! - Not very common in Europe!
The restaurant is located on a super cute street with lots of awesome vintage shops which we loved! Definitely worth a walk around :)
Overall an enjoyable experience and I would definitely go back :) I would advise to book ahead though, I think it can get quite busy :)
Pros: Starters, Ambience & Decor, Location
Cons: Tofu 'salmon' main, Juices not fresh

I went there with my sister (she's not a vegetarian or vegan) and everything was delicious, she had ravioli and a coulant. And I had black rice with all i oli and the everybody's fave choco cake. The desserts were amazing, I didn't try my sister's because it wasnt vegan, but she tried my food and she agreed that everything was delicious. Worth a try! A must go if you want excellent quality!

Great for vegans, modern interior - Edit
Went there Nov. 2014, couple.
Read moreThe place looks amazing, modern design, with a lot of fresh fruits & vegetables part of the decoration. It has a few different rooms/areas with slightly different design. Cool architecture too. Friendly staff.
We found the vegan options enough to go back a few times. They have a weekly specials menu, with a few vegan options there. I keep following their instagram account and the specials always look amazing! Wish I could go there more often.
There was a bit of waiting time, better make a reservation if you go around lunch or dinner on wekends.
Pros: delicious vegan dishes, weekly specials , good location + beautiful interior

Great vegan breakfast - Edit
There aren't many places to get a vegan breakfast in Barcelona, in fact this may be the only one. We ate breakfast here everyday when we were in Barcelona. The menu is mostly vegetarian but there are several vegan options. We absolutely loved the creamy coconut milk chia pudding with fresh fruit and the avocado toast. They also have great juices. The waiters were friendly and spoke English well.

A complement to the city - Edit
If you're a vegetarian visiting the beautiful city of Barcelona, you can enjoy the amazing architecture, soak in the atmosphere, and visit a variety of sites. Alas, there aren't many options for a nice evening dinner. We tried a few of the local vegetarian restaurants during our honeymoon. If you are looking for one to choose on a short trip, Teresa Carlos should top the list.
