Estupendo - Edit
Es vegetariano y tienen muchas opciones veganas. Los platos estaban muy buenos y la chica fue muy agradable, nos resolvió dudas sobre si algún plato era vegetariano o vegano. Me encanta que en la carta de los postres aparezca marcado cuáles son veganos, y que el menú incluya postre, bebida y pan.

Generous portions - Edit
Well-cooked and elaborated dishes. The portions are generous. You can order a complete menu (starter, main course, and dessert) or a half menu (one dish and one dessert). From the same chain as the Govinda restaurants. They do not serve alcoholic beverages.

Good vegan food and nice atmosphere - Edit
Nice restaurant that serves vegetarian food and offers some vegan options as well. Portions are big and the food is tasty. The staff is kind and the service was good. Vegan burrito was enough for lunch and the carrot chocolate cake very sweet but yummy. Fair price for a menu or half menu.

Good food for a good price - Edit
This is a cosy little place. Perfect if you want to take a long lunch. They offer a three course meal for only 11 euro. And sure, it's not the fanciest or most delicious food ever but it's good food for a good price. Drinks are also included in the menue.

Arroz al curry picante y de postre pastel de zanahoria con chocolate y crocante de manzana.
Todo muy rico.

Great food - Edit
In short: Great (vegan) food, lots of food, lovely staff, very cheap. Would definitely recommend!
Read moreMe and my dad went to Amaltea on our first night in Barcelona, after half a day of travelling. We were there at 8pm sharp, when it opens for dinner.
At first, the smell of incense was very intense, but when we got used to it, it was alright. Must say I'm surprised that no other reviews mentioned this. Maybe it was just this one night they did this?
We got a three course meal, a salad buffet plate and a (non-alcoholic) beer. No alcoholic beverages are served here, but the non-alcoholic beer was nice enough. I had the indian starter (forgot the name) and the burger as a main. Both were full of nice flavours and textures. I took the smoothie as a dessert because the carrot cake wouldn't have fit in. Great service all the way through. In the end we paid only 36 euros, including a tip (!). We wanted to get back here, but they are closed on Sunday. Highly recommended, even though my shirt smelled of incense for two more days :)
Pros: Great food, Lots of food, Very cheap
Cons: Incense was intense

odd - Edit
I agree with someone else here about the odd combinations of menu- I found that the quality and taste of the food weren’t good unfortunately. The only pros I would say is that it’s affordable and dog friendly

Better off eating elsewhere - Edit
There are some odd combos in the dishes, and not in a good way.If you're really hungry and don't care about taste, or that there are better vegetarian options around by all means eat here. It's not that it was all horrible. Some of it tasted ok. But even the food that tasted ok I felt was weird. The gazpacho tasted mostly of garlic. I like garlic but it made me wonder how fresh it was. The lasagne tasted weird, possibly the strong cheese - that dominated the taste but also the
Read morepumpkin was unrecognisable both in taste, texture and visually. The dessert was dreadful, couldn't eat it. How do you f up an apple crumble? The juice too sweet for a place of that sort. Throughout the meal I kept thinking maybe they freeze and defrost? Harekrishna on the speakers.
Pros: big portions
Cons: doesn't taste great

Wonderful surprise - Edit
I have visited this place several times during the last weeks. Honestly, it was a surprise. I had been told several times that the food was boring and it is not.
Read moreThe offer a menu with starter, main course and desert. It's very good value for money and you leave Amaltea really full!
Some dishes are better than others, as always. But overall I'd definitely recommend this restaurant.
If you are vegan you should try the vegan carrot cake. OK, if you're not vegan you should try it too!
Pros: Good value, Plenty of vegan options
Cons: None

agradable - Edit
Si buscas delicatessen, platos de cocina de autor, o darte caprichos este no es el sitio mas recomendable. Pero si comes HCLF, aqui puedes comer como en casa. Nada de grasas, nada de sal (al menos en los platos que probe) Nada de excesos, pero muy tranquilo y agradable.

Please avoid this restaurant.. - Edit
I went to the restaurant and was a little bit suprised of the menu because it forces you to choose a starter, main course and desert and has fixed price. Anyway The food I had there was terrible. This was the first time I couldn't eat the food I've ordered.. Please try to avoid.

Fantastic Veggie/Vegan Food - Edit
Wow! We arrived here after traveling all day to get to Barcelona. We were exhausted and starving. The food was delicious and bountiful. We each (5) had an appetizer and a main dish and 2 desserts for the five of us and were so stuffed we couldn't move!! Every single dish-and we had 12 different ones in total, was delicious and healthy. The waitress was beyond nice and helpful. We went back for a second time but they were closed on Sunday evening. Check because hours are sporadic. Highly recommended.

Great place to start our holiday - Edit
Having arrived at Barcelona Sants station it was a short interesting walk via the Miro park to this excellent restaurant for lunch, and it couldn't have been a better start to the holiday.
Read moreThe starter was hummus and pitta, the main was pizza (not the most exciting choice on my part but I do like a good pizza) and an excellent chocolate cake for dessert.
The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed.

Simple and great - Edit
The owner was kind and helpful for me to choose vegan options in the menu.
Read moreWe had various dishes and all of us were satisfied.
The desserts were very good too, but we had to take them away, because the portions in the menu are quite generous.
If you look for simple healthy food near Urgell, Amaltea is for you!
Pros: good value, few vegan options , friendly staff

Disappointing - Edit
This seemed an incredibly popular restaurant. It is large with many tables but people were still queuing for a lunchtime table! The staff were friendly and helpful.
Read moreHowever, the food was not enjoyable. Maybe we made poor choices from the menu, but we ended up with very disappointing food. I had the strange combination of pumpkin, prunes, tomato sauce and an unidentifable meat substitute thing. My partner had mashed potato, guacamole and horrible 'wheat gluten meat substitute' which we both felt was inedible. Our starters (spaghetti, and dhal) were not as bad as the mains - at least we could eat them. We decided not to stay for the dessert even though it was included in our 'menu del dia' because the main courses were so unpleasant.
If you're desperate for veggie food and in the area, maybe you can find something to eat here but I would not recommend for a special trip or for an evening meal which would have been much more expensive than the lunch deal.
Pros: Helpful staff, Some diary free options, Lunch 'menu' offer for around 11 euros
Cons: Poor food quality, Strange food combinations, Tasteless

Decent Choice - Edit
The menu is predominantly vegetarian but there are a few vegan options that are clearly labelled. The owner is kind and helpful. They offer only a three course option but are great about packing up any extra food that you can't finish. While not extraordinary, it is a very solid choice.

no vegan options! - Edit
I should maybe not write a review because I left this restaurant without eating here. They had very little vegan option and nothing seemed to be be good enough for lunch or diner. The staff was also not friendly and it took a long time to get them to explain what vegan options they actually had.

Pros: for vegetarains
Cons: few boring vegan options
