unpredictable place - Edit
I have visit this restaurant two times in 2012. First time I was really satisfied by the food but second time kind of disappointed.
Read moreHowever, I will come back but I will try to avoid the busy lunch hours.
The staff is confused, misunderstand you, forget you, takes long time to pay even at the counter, but they are nice and friendly.
Updated from previous review on Sunday July 22, 2012
I came here again this year. My impression is the same. It is pretty ok food for a low price but it is a little bit unpredictable. Could be great, could be pretty dull.
Updated from previous review on Friday March 22, 2013
And I came here again 2014. Same impression. I visited the place 3 times since I do like their food but sometimes you get something strange and not so tasty. But why complain? the food is really cheap and for that price you get pretty good quality.
Pros: nice location, vegan and creative meals, good value and friendly staff
Cons: confused and slow service, quality varies, sometimes not so impressing meals

I already wrote a review here last time I was in Barcelona and I still would give it the same grading (3). The staff is friendly but the food is uneven but I guess it is ok for the cheap price. However, you can get much better vegan food around the corner in vegetarian restaurants for example in Teresa Carles Cuina Vegetariana (the very very best vegan food in Barcelona!!!) or L'Hortet. I will come back to this place since it is all vegan and I like the food but it is far from the best vegan food I have. More typical mix of spanish version of Indian food and local dishes made on a low budget. Typical favorite place for alternative anarchist students and young wannabe intellectuals..
Read moreYou should come here if you are vegan it is worth it, but try the other vegetarian restaurants also. I haven't found any really high quality 100% vegan restaurant in Barcelona and therefore prefer the vegetarian restaurants with vegan options. Maybe someone can recommend any place?

pleasant space, good food - Edit
The food here was fresh and yummy, generous portions - my salad was HUGE, couldn't eat it all. Fresh juices etc - great selection. Friendly staff - English speaking. Menu in English alongside the Spanish also.
Read moreWould especially recommend the momo (Nepalese dumplings) and the samosas, not as thrilled with the seitan burger or the tofu tapas with satay but both were ok, nonetheless.

The food is in some way interesting (I mean, it sounds good), but at the end not that good... maybe you cannot expect more for that price.

Thought this place was bad, but it's AWESOME! - Edit
Before going there I've read all the previous reviews and thought to myself: "Oh gosh, it must smell like a dumpster due to the street nearby" - just to find out it's a massive exaggeration by some reviewers. ;-)
Read moreSeriously, it's a small one-way street and only few cars were passing while my stay.
There are much more tables inside on two floors - so if you are very sensitive when you see a car, try to sit in the restaurant. The walls are very colorful and nicely painted. A real eye-catcher!
The restaurant has a variety of Nepanese / Indian / Fusion cusine. Had the day menu (€8,50) with three courses (starter, main course and dessert). I was overwhelmed from the Indian curry (main dish) and the really awesome freshly pressed juices.
The staff and especially the owner was very kind and had a nice chat with him.
What a pleasant surprise!
Pros: Wonderful variety of food, good price value, freshly pressed juices
Cons: Can be crowded

Disappointing - Edit
Got to the place and waited outside, the service altough not excelent, it wasn't so bad, but it was really slow (even to pay).
Read moreAs written on reviews, the place outside has traffic and there's noise from cars and pollution since it's REALLY near the stret where cars park and pass by.
The food it was stargint really nice, I tryed hummus and the person with me tryed a salad which were really nice.
The main dish was, altough with a not so bad presentation, with horrible flavour and with a doughtfull texture. The dessert was even wrost, for the price of 8.25 I am sure I won't go back there.
There are far better options even in not vegan restaurants in Barcelona for that price which is not so expensive to BCN standards, but still, expensive for the quality presented.
Pros: Location
Cons: Food / Price, Traffic, Service slow

3 1/3 - Edit
This is in between 3 and 4 for me. Starters and desserts were nice but the mains disappointed a bit. Seemed to be a few vegan options, so maybe I missed out and could have ordered better. Server was very friendly and helpful when translating the specials board.

Ambivalent, still - Edit
I still don't know what to make of this place, one day after I ate there. It was Sunday afternoon and the place was so overcowded that I went for a walk, when I came back an hour later one table inside was free, outside still all places occupied.
Read moreFood was a really interesting combination, and I think it was mainly the sauce that made it for me (Saitan-Satay with Rice). Service was swift and I got what I ordered. Although I did not grasp the "menue for 8.25 thing". So if you take a main dish from the menue it costs you 6 EUR. Fair enough. Presentation of the food is really well done. And as I was not that hungry, I was happy with the portion.
What I always wonder is - wherever you go the organic beer and Tofu and a lot of other organic stuff is from Germany. (There are plenty of (Micro-)breweries locally, they will produce good beer and it would be better for the environment, they can brew according to the German purity laws, if they want to or whatever the reason for that peculiar thing with German Bio food is) I had one of the 330 ml organic beer which was delicious and the Nepal tea as I don't like deserts much. I can really recommend the beer and the tea.
And what did the guy from the Cat-Bar (with the Cat-Bar T-shirt) there? Sampling the food and ...? ;-)
I give 5 Stars as they can't be responsible for the many people that come at a time. I am sure there are times when they place is rather empty. Food is good, very reasonable price.

Great Place, I Go Every Week - Edit
This place is a gem in Barcelona. Quality, homemade foods, great prices, owner is a super nice guy. Terrace is chilled out, and it's a great place to bring friends.
Read moreIn Barcelona, a salad is usually a sad little plate of lettuce with a few onions. Veg Garden salads are MASSIVE and delish. Best salads in the city for sure, great juices too. We go every week.

Seitan burgers - Edit
Stopped there two times. I'll ate (twice) seitan burger which included bun, seitan, tomato, lettuce and mayo. It was good. I myself would have put something more to that, because it was somehow dry, but I think that this is just opinion of taste.
Read moreMy wife ate seitan with potatos and she fell in love with that sauce.

P E R F E C T - Edit
Can only tell you the complete opposite of my previous writer. Me and my girlfriend we've been there for our first time today and all we can say to this cosy eatery is PERFECT!
Read moreYou won't find a more friendly service with absolutely inexpensive prices (paid about 8,50€ for a whole menue) and such an amazing taste of the meals! The waitresses as well as the cook (he comes from Nepal and thus he is the master of preparing those specialities) are very friendly and i have to repeat myself; the meals are delicious (had the "Thal")!
Go there!
Pros: Friendly, Yummy, Inexpensive

Lukewarm food 15/5/2013 - Edit
Very disappointing indeed. After ordering from a, quite indifferent, waitress the main course arrived at the same as the starter. The main course, a Thali, MIGHT have tasted ok but it was barely warm when it arrived at our table. When we told the English speaking waitress about the food being cold she tried to blame it on the fact that the door was open and it was raining!! We were in & out within 30 minutes, not even stopping to finish my beer (which was out of a bottle so ok!) My partner's exotic smoothie apple, banana and mango tasted of apple and banana only. We paid 24 euro for meals for 2.
Read moreWe can't remember a worse meal in our 13 years as vegetarians in Spain and this includes an omelette and chips in a fried chicken restaurant many years ago!
As a contrast we paid more than twice the price at nearby Sesamo on Carrer Sant Antoni Abat, 52, but it was worth every euro of the difference.
Pros: Quick, Cheap, local to our apartment
Cons: Cold food, Indifferent service, Boring smoothie

Good healthy food and friendly. - Edit
This place is one of those vegan places that concentrates of healthy food! Which is good, innit? Cos lets face it we can't eat all day long, or at least we shouldn't! Anyway we ate well and despite the small portion of Apple Crumble (can't find a decent sized portion of apple crumble anywhere in BCN!) were contentedly full after.
Read moreThe staff spoke enough English and were very helpful with our other questions about BCN.
Pros: Fresh and healthy, Fair priced, Helpful staff and central.
Cons: Dailyy menu not so easy to comprehend

You should go here, they are great. Really! - Edit
OK, yaknow what? I was going to give this place four stars (the bathrooms are kinda... less than lovely), but now I have seen some of the mean stuff other posters have said (the waiter didn't speak good English? Why should he?! Buy a phrase book!!), I am giving it five. Because you should TOTALLY go to this restaurant!
Read moreI've now been to Veggie Garden twice, once in 2012 and once in 2013, both around Easter time, and loved it both times. The first time I went for a late dinner with a party of 6 -- we booked in advance and were treated superbly by the lovely staff (their English was FINE, by the way). We ordered lots and lots of food from both menu, a mix of tapas and mains, and it all came swiftly, and with no confusions. It was also all delicious! I don't remember everything I ate but I definitely had the Thali and it was great.
This week, my partner and I went back and had an earlier dinner, about 6pm. The restaurant was quiet and there were seats inside and out, we could choose where we wanted to sit, it was very chilled. We both had one of the delicious mixed juices to start with... if you're going, live dangerously and have one of these, because they're amazing! Then we ordered from the tapas menu -- we picked four hot tapes and one cold tapas to share, and were worried we wouldn't have enough food, but we were so wrong! The portions are very generous and super good value. I'd highly recommend the momos, they're delicious. The tofu in satay sauce is also finger-lickingly good. Our waiter was very sweet and attentive. We spoke in Spanglish to him and he was very patient and friendly. We noted that other customers were paying at the till, this is a sensible way of doing things in a busy place with two floors, and the barman who took our payment was also very pleasant and friendly to us. We'll be coming back here again for sure! One of Barcelona's best vegan options :)
Pros: Great food, Great value, LOVELY STAFF

Great vegan food for cheap! - Edit
Two of us had dinner here, we each got the menú del dÃa which is €8.25 and has three courses plus water or wine. There are a few options for each course of the menu and we each went with Mexican black bean soup, pumpkin burger with bulger wheat risotto and apple crumble. The food was all very good (except the salad that came with the burger, it was a bit limp). The main course was huge, we were given two burgers each! I got half of mine to take away! The sevice was very prompt, the staff were polite and spoke both English and Spanish. Overall a very positive experience, definately recommended.

Perfect Vegan Place in Barca - Edit
I found the Veggie Garden on Happy Cow and stopped by for lunch today. The location is great as it's off on a side street and the outdoor street terrace ambience is great. The menu of the day featured some wonderful items and I chose the lentil soup, thali, and the apple cake. All were really great. The service to get a table was a little slow, but the waitstaff was very busy. I'll be back again for sure!

I dream about this place! - Edit
Wow... How do I begin?! Firstly, thank-you Veggie Garden for being so amazing! While in Barcelona I visited 3 vegan eatery's and this place was definitely my fav. I dragged my carnivore boyfriend back there at least 4 times (He'd prefer McDonalds but I always win). The cute little chef was so cheery and always asked how my meal was which really made me feel welcomed... and the food... wow, just incredible. Each time I visited I got the 3 course meal which for the price (very cheap) was the freshest, yummiest, biggest meal I could ask for. The veggie samosa, the veggie lasagne and the Indian Thali were insanely good. And the desserts (I had a choccie/orange mousse and the apple crumble) were heaven. I would definitely get the Indian Thali... words cannot describe how much I enjoyed it.
Read moreThe menu was very extensive, I would of happily ordered a tofu burger but I was trying to be a little more adventurous. The vegan drinks were also lovely, and an added bonus there was free WiFi, which the waitress happily gave me the password for.
Only downfall was when I ordered a smoothie it was slightly warm. So if you're looking for a great smoothie in Barcelona I'd go to Juicy Jones, but the food at Veggie Garden is definitely Number 1.
I must add, my carnivore partner has a veggie burger there which he didn't really enjoy because it fell apart easily, but that to me shows how fresh it was and I tasted it and was in love.
If I am ever lucky enough to go back to the amazing city of Barcelona, I will leap from the plane and run flat out until I am back inside Veggie Garden's doors. AMAZING.
Pros: Epic food, Great prices!, Friendly chef!
Cons: warm smoothie

Hit and miss vegan restaurant - Edit
This place has lots of good reviews so we may have visited on a bad day but I can only review what I know so here goes. Firstly this place seemed really disorganised (it was a busy Saturday afternoon), we found a seat and a waiter told us it was OK for us to sit there for the moment but we might have to move (didn't explain why and we didn't anyway). A waitress then appeared and asked what we wanted, well, sort of, her English was very limited and we spent five minutes trying to ascertain what the options were. I don't expecte everyone to speak English is a Spanish place but I did ask her several times if there was anyone available who spoke better English and she just kept trying to explain the menu ignoring my request. Eventually another waiter appeared and
Read morewe were told what the options were from the 'Three Course' 8.25 euro menu on the wall, we ordered but there was still a misunderstanding as my husband thought he had ordered 'Enchillada' to be bought a really large, undressed, plate of, mainly, lettuce and a few other bits of salad. This was, of course, 'Ensalda', salad but he had repeated 'Enchillada' to the waiter several times so no idea what happened there. I had a samosa for starters which was delicious. For the main I had a thali which was pretty good, nothing special but nice enough, my husband had a moussaka which which disgusting, he couldn't eat it and I tried a little and it just had a really nasty taste to it that I really cannot describe. For dessert I had a sorbet (which was not set just runny in a cup) and my husband had a banana cake which was ok. The only choices we were offered to drink was water or wine. As we were eating we could see that others had different food, not from the 8.25 menu and we ascertained there was another, larger, menu of individually priced items, why we were never given this menu I have no idea but I suspect it had a better choice of food than we ended up with. I asked for the bill and sat there for 15 minutes with nothing happening, eventually I went downstairs to pay and had to queue for ten minutes as a large party were also trying to pay and seemed to be confusing the man on the till. Overall, I would not recommend this place when they are busy as they really do not seem to know what they are doing, the food is hit and miss, some good some inedible, and the service is questionable.
Pros: All vegan, Cheap
Cons: Very disorganised, Gets very busy, Not very professional staff

You are so right but there aren't many 100% vegan restaurants, so I keep coming back.

Welll, maybe, runsten, but as you say on your profile ], as vegans we deserve the best these days and this place certainly isn't that. This place reminds me very much of the sort of place we had to put up with years ago, a plate of vegan slop and a lot of salad. It's vegan, fair enough, but it's not good.
