Tasty food but not quite what we were expecting - Edit
We enjoyed our burgers from here tonight but over all we didnt feel it quite met the hype. We went on a friday evening and the selection seemed to be a good bit smaller than what I had seen online. There wasn't really a great atmosphere but that could just be down to the time we visited at. My teriyaki burger was really tasty but it I'm a bit unsure what was "teriyaki"about it as it tasted quite plain (possibly I was given the wrong burger).

wish we could have eaten more - Edit
This was the first all vegan restaurant we found in Barcelona. So wonderful to start the "is _____ vegan" and have someone say EVERYTHING is vegan. the pastries looked absolutely amazing. You got a lot of food for a reasonable price. Had vegan Spanish items, like the potato omelette. After the first bite my boyfriend turned to me and said, "I think this is the best veggie burger I've ever had." We ate here twice.

Cheap and delicious - Edit
Every now and then you find amazing vegan junk food - this is one of those times. I mean, you could get healthier options but we opted for the vegan hot dog and fries and then giant slabs of chocolate cake. Very reasonable prices, open late and nice staff. Food was really great.

Patatas y burguer? Aquí estan! - Edit
Por una vez los veganos tenemos la opción de comer "marranadas" deliciosas y dentro de nuestra filosofía de vida. Se pueden elegir distintos tipos de menús o bien bocatas sueltos, pinchos de tortilla vegana, patatas, bebidas veganas...
Read moreEl menú de hamburguesa + patatas + bebida no llega a 8euros y si está muy lleno puedes llevártelo y comer en el centro una combinación deliciosa de sabores.
El tamaño y cantidad es más que justo con el precio y la calidad es impresionante. Lástima que las patatas no sean artesanas.
Pros: Totalmente vegano. Para comer hamburguesas, salchi
Cons: Las patatas no son gran cosa aunque la cantidad es

Great Food - Edit
Firstly, the food is very good here, Other things let it down but the food is great. I think I had a seitan steak sandwich and chocolate donut - fantastic. There is minimal seating and its all inside, service is slow and its not the cleanest place, lots of flies buzzing about which is offputting.

Enjoyed the burger here, had a Mexican one. It was a little dry and would have benefited from some fresh salsa

I ate here 3 times in 2 days - Edit
I would move to Barcelona just to eat at Gopal everyday for the rest of my life. While visiting Barcelona for 2 days I ate here 3 times.
Read moreI ordered a crescent, chocolate covered donught, the chocolate cake, the Mexican burger, the Chorizo sandwhich, the fries, the cinnamon roll, and the tortilla española. Everything was AMAZING besides the cinnamon roll which was a little dry. I wish I could eat that chorizo sandwich and tortilla española everyday of my life. I found the staff to be in a hurry but willing to listen and be patient when I didn't speak Spanish. Seating is limited but there is a cute park to sit at or just sit next to strangers, its not so bad.
Pros: delicious, super cheap, authentic spanish food
Cons: minimal seating

Great on the go - Edit
This place is fab if you like vegan fast food. Lots of veggie meats and cheezes. I don't particularly but the staff are very accommodating and will do you anything as a salad if you ask.. I like the vegan chorizo or croquettes with the salad (comes with vegan creamy dressing)
Read moreGood for a place to go with friends of for grabbing something on the go.

losing quality - Edit
I have to say this is the first time I'm writing a bad review. But I hope this is read, rather than anything, as a constructive review by the owners/managers of Gopal.
Read moreFor the past three years I've been going there (every now and then). The food was never striking for its healthiness but it was always, in my opinion, perfect for munchies and hangovers:) let's say it was a good vegan take away, fast food place. Grab a burger and savour it in the sunny plaza George Orwell.
Though, fast it started decreasing its quality standards. The "seitan crujiente" simply stopped being crujiente (=crunchy) and I can say for a fact it wasn't a one time incident. In a more recent visit to Gopal the whole recipe of the sandwiches had changed. What had used to be avocado and mustard sauce was replaced by "unsauced" and "unspiced" couple of lettuce leaves, tomato slices, PICKLES and an unmelted slice of cheese (which seemed to have been thrown in there to make the sandwich worth its price). The same happened with the aubergine sandwich, which's "magic" was its tomato sauce that ceased to exist.
But because this is a vegan place and to end on a more positive tone, I want to encourage you guys- Gopal- to do better, as you've done before:)
Pros: great location, inexpensive
Cons: losing quality

A happy find - Edit
I had seen the place here on Happy Cow but stumbled upon it by chance on my travels. Sadly it was closed at the time but at least then I knew where to find it.
Read moreWhen we visited they had a limited menu (burgers or sandwiches) but the food was lovely. Good portions and value for money especially with their meal deals.
Pros: Good Food, Lovely Staff, Meal Deal
Cons: Limited Menu, Very Small

Fast food - Edit
If you like fast food burgers you will love this place.
Read moreTasty burgers but just dont expect healthy stuff here.
Croissants and icecreams are nice but cakes and muffins were too sweet for me. Croquettes are nice, omlette was just ok. Loved all burgers I tasted until now.
Very few seats and it can get very crowded and hard to get a place to sit
Pros: Tasty fast food
Cons: Small, can get crowded

Burgers - Edit
The staff does not strike me as vegan - more like low-class. The food is all vegan but not very healthy - basically bad fast food. They sell burger deals which one might be able to stomach a few times a year, but which are greasy - as other reviewers have written.
Read moreIt's worth a visit just to marvel at the audacity of the whole thing, or if you're dying of hunger.
Pros: convenient location, not expensive
Cons: unhealthy, vulgar staff, greasy / sugary fast food

I registered SOLELY to react on your comment 'The staff does not strike me as vegan - more like low-class.'. Thank you for insulting my friends, of which all are vegan and many have been committed animal rights activists for years. Thank you for thinking in categories and classes when it comes to other people. Thank you for stereotyping people -who work to serve you- on a pubic forum, instead of leaving them their dignity.

Oh please spare me... I'm not the only one who has stated how rude the staff are at Gopal, and how disgustingly bad the food is. And in regards to your issues with my citing their low class behaviour: frankly the two women cashiers I had the misfortune of having to deal with were classless trash. I don't write that frivolously. I've never been in such an unenlightened vegan / vegetarian / health food environment, and I still find it hard to imagine that Gopal even exists, as it is such a negative place to suffer as an experience. Your heart may bleed for your "friends" - but that doesn't make up for what they put me through.

Best Croissants - Edit
Ever since going vegan I have been looking for vegan croissants. The ones at Gopal are really tasty, almost like the butter ones and have a bit of chocolate. Also tried their coconut donut, but it was too dry for my liking. They have quite a large choice.

Cheap & Tasty fast food - Edit
Nice little place with a good selection of vegan ‘junk food’...so not the place to go for a ‘wholesome meal’. I had a burger, which was a good size and very tasty. I also took some chocolate covered doughnuts and a cinnamon roll back for some non-vegan friends – they were pretty impressed! It was great value for money and the service was good. If I were looking for seating it may have been a little problematic... Happy overall :)

Cheap and tasty! - Edit
Nice little vegan joint with a great choice of sandwiches, burgers and deserts, and the staff was kind and helpful.
Read moreThe Bacon sandwich was amazing. Also had the chocolate glazed doughnut but it didn't feel so fresh.
The place was a little dirty when we arrived but the staff quickly cleared it out (might bother the pickier types).
Note that there's no bathroom on premise.
Pros: Cheap, Tasty, All vegan
Cons: Not a tightly run ship

A must visit! - Edit
Visited this place pretty much every day during our stay in Barcelona. The tortilla was great, the burger too, but the absolute highlight was the (daily) chocolate donut.
Read moreNot much seating (and definitely not restaurant like for that matter) - but with a great city and lovely weather around it didn't matter to us.
We'll make sure to head back when are in Barcelona next time.
Pros: Well priced, Chocolate donut, Great food
Cons: Not much seating

Great Burger, staff really nice - Edit
We went to this restaurant several times and really enjoyed it.
Read moreTheir hamburger is rich and tasty, and their donuts really special.
Cakes were not special but the biggest slices in my life!
Staff was always kind and attentive, to the point that a single nuggett ordered with a Burger was served on a separate dish with its own salad.
Pros: Burgers, Staff, Value for money
Cons: If crowded you may have to wait a bit

A bit of a let down... - Edit
After reading all the stunning reviews here, I was so excited to try Gopal. My husband and I decided to share a bacon cheeseburger and nachos in order to save room for the amazing donuts. I get that this is fast food, but I was disappointed to see the nachos and cheese being warmed in a microwave, and the burger was quickly warmed on a panini press. As a result, the nachos had a strange rubbery consistency (chewy, not crunchy) and the cheese was not fully melted. Now, I have to say, I've been vegan for 6 years and still do not love vegan cheese unless it's totally melted, so this could just be my own hang-up.
Read moreSame deal for the burger. The cheese was not melted at all, and the bacon was really just a piece of veg balogna. The burger itself was not warmed through and didn't have much flavour. Very disappointing.
Unfortunately we weren't up for trying the donuts after this meal, but I will say they looked really good. Staff was friendly, location is great, prices are good, but we were not impressed with the food and would not return.
Pros: Good prices, Friendly staff, Good location
Cons: The food was disappointing

No és un restaurant normal. És una botiga amb unes cadires per seure i menjar (no hi ha lavabo). Tot i això tenen el millor menjar fast food vegà que he provat! Espectaculars (i grans) hamburgueses, algunes tapes (xoriço, truita), i postres de Lujuria Vegana!

Comfort food in the center - Edit
We went to Gopal in early June 2015 and had dinner there. The staff was really friendly and accomodating, pointing out the gluten free options on request. The menue is rather small but that prevents having to wait long. The food is prepared fresh in an open kitchen. They also sell cakes and cheeses for take out.
Read moreWe had very delicious burgers with crispy fries. If you are looking for a quick bite, Gopal is the place to go.
Pros: Location, food, friendly staff, not expensive
Cons: small menue

Great for a meal or a snack! - Edit
We visited Gopal twice in our stay, the only veggie place we bothered returning to. It is that good!
Read moreTheir prices are very good considering the central location. The staff were friendly and helpful and there was always nice music playing.
There was a nice variety in food, including vegan versions of meats and cheeses and some delicious desserts/cakes.
They offer meal deals which are good value but it's also perfect for a quick bite on the go.
It's an ideal place for any time of day as they had options for breakfast, lunch, dinner and everything in between.
I wanted to try the vegan hot dogs which were sadly not available on both visits.
Pros: Great location, Cheap prices, Large portions
Cons: No hot dogs

Go gopal! - Edit
Super nice place in the most beautiful square of Barcelona (dedicated to George Orwell!). The staff was really kind, there was a plenty of different burgers and ice creams, all delicious and cheep. Perfect to eat something fast and tasty while visiting the old town. Hopefully, the chose an ethical vegan style in the decorations (empty cages, free the animals slogan etc) rather than the usual bullshit about how healthy, bio and natural the vegan food is.
