Nice food, but unwelcoming atmosphere

This is from a visit at the beginning of 2018.

The menu is written on chalkboard next to bar (in Spanish – or Catalunyan?). We were addressed in Spanish (or Catalunyan), and as we didn’t understand, asked whether they spoke English, but got a rather annoyed roll of the eyes and sigh back. In our best Spanish-ish, we did manage to order some drinks and hummus and a plat du jour, which was with pasta. The burger was not available that day.

The food was very nice and cheap.
The reserved (and hostile?) atmosphere kinda killed it and we would probably not visit again. Would have loved to learn more about the collective and the projects they do, but we did not feel welcome.

Pros: cheap, nice food, nice collection of books (in Spanish/Catlunyan)

Cons: unwelcoming

Rude and racists

Me and my boyfriend wanted to try this place one day when we were in the area, I live in Barcelona. We entered and went to the bar to ask if there is a table. The girls who were working there looked at us and did not even say hi. We stood there for a while and were totally ignored. I suppose it's because I don't look Spanish and my boyfriend is a man. It's very sad that ppl who pretend to fight for a cause, treat other ppl so rudely based on assumptions. I'm glad there is more and more vegan places but I hope this one will close down as if there is one thing I cannot stand, that would be rude and narrow minded people.

La Raposa es una cooperativa . No somos un RESTAURANTE, Somos un BAR y una LIBRERIA. Además somos un espacio SOCIAL. Nosotras tenemos amigas y amigos que nos visitan de muy diferentes partes del mundo... y también tenemos amigos hombres (ohhhhhh!) Así que es bastante improbable que no os hicieramos caso por alguna de estas razones. Quizá estaís acostumbrados a un trato único y particular por ser turistas, pero nosostras tratamos por igual a todo el mundo. Si eso os ofende, desde luego no es vuestro espacio. Y por supuesto llamarnos "Racistas", queda muy fuera de lugar. Parece que no entendiste nada. Quizá pasando por nuestra libreria comprendas de que hablamos. Un saludo.

Shouldn’t be on happy cow

Tourists not welcome in this place

Pros: Go if you want spit food

Cons: Shame they can’t embrace vegans from other places

sorry to hear you didn't like it. We have a problem in Barcelona with tourists but I don't think it was personal. they are not the friendliest people or the embracing type but they don't lick your ass either. Try again, they are nice.

local feninista, antiespecista

Sitio agradable, bonito y donde te sentirás muy agusto, especialmente si eres mujer o queer. La comida es genial y a precios razonables, tienen libros interesantes. Si tu veganismo es anticapitalista e interseccional te va a encantar este lugar / proyecto.

Updated from previous review on 2018-03-06

Pros: buena comida, libros, feminismo, queer, antiespeci

Mixed feelings

The place is vegan in a location where not a lot of options exist. The food is good, I had a burger, and the people do open up a little when you try to speak Spanish. However, they were not very friendly, and the “tourist go home sticker” on the door made me feel unwelcome, and I am not even a tourist!

Many tourists who visit Barcelona have to be reminded that the city does not belong to them.

Instead of being a tourist, just be a visitor and don't contribute to gentrification. Support small places like this, boycott airbnb.

Everyone who visits this city contributes to gentrification because hotels take not much less space than airbnb. Even if you're not a tourism, you're a foreigner in a city that already has too much, that can't grow anymore and that is on the brink of losing its typical culture.

A place with conscience

If you’re looking for a cozy restaurant, this is not your place. This place is vegan for the animals (the way it should be) and a feminist space. Those who say staff is unfriendly is probably because they were expecting other kind of service. They act like normal people. Not like restaurant waitresses. Food is tasty, staff friendly and price very affordable. I totally recommend it.

Pros: Tasty food, Conscience above health, Price

Tasty food

This place is a bit out of the way but the food is good. We had a coconut and lentil soup to start and then a rissoto.

Not much English spoken but staff are helpful.

Cheap for what it is.

Probably wouldn't go again, simply because there wasn't much choice and menu was in Spanish.

Pros: Food was tasty and cheap.

Cons: A bit difficult to find

Good juice, small burger

This place is a small collective that happens to have a vegan menu. The options aren't many and the portions are small, but they are fairly fast. It doesn't taste of much, except the juice which is fresh and uplifting.

Pros: Fast preparation, good patatas, nice juice

Cons: Small portions and the food doesn't taste much

This place should not be on Happy Cow.

Happy Cow is an international app helping travelling vegans to find places to visit. This place is very clear that it is for locals only - no feminist literature was in English. While it's great that this place offers a wide selection of feminist books, it is not welcoming to foreigners and actually had 'tourism kills the city' sticker right in front - not coincidentally in English. This seemed xenophobic, one step away from 'immigrants ruin the city' - rather more [censored] than feminazi. No matter what the owner will reply to this comment - I believe their attitude clashes with the integrity of this app. (Also, just fyi, it's much worse when no one wants to visit your city).

Pros: Feminist books for locals

Cons: Xenophobic

Xenophobic? In the case of Barcelona tourism does kill the city.

Tourism kills the city. Immigrants enrich society. Thanks for understanding another point of view.

Worthy of support!

La Raposa is a simple furnished bar with little decor in the entrance area but some nice art in the back where is also plenty of space to sit. There are many books about feminism in the middle part, but everything in Spanish.
No English menu, but helpful staff that provides you with all informations you need.
I had a burger, bravas and a juice. All very tasty, great bravas with great sauces (including vegan mayo), pretty good burger as well - could have been a bit more juice.
Fair portions for the price. Although many customers would order beverages only, the food is prepared with care.
La Raposa is located a bit off downtown, but still within easy reach.
LGBT-friendly space. Would visit again.

Pros: good food, fair portions, fair prices

Cons: limited menu, some decoration would be nice, good service seems to be reserved for patrons

Pros: Great taste, Fantastic venue, Friendly staff

Cons: Small menu, Dessert average

Had higher hopes...

Visited this little place especially on a day trip to Barca. Menu was extremely limited, apparently as it was Bank Holiday Monday. Prior notice of such a massively restricted menu would have been helpful, maybe within the restaurant description on the website?
The lady who served us was very apologetic about the limited menu and initially very amicable.
We shared houmous and guacamole with breadsticks, lentils, and patatas (one of each menu item that was on offer).
Houmous was lovely, guac was good but not delicious, other food was ok but could have been more flavoursome. Garlic mayo type dip with the patatas was gorgeous.
There was a group of customers near the bar who appeared to know the owner/staff very well and were talking and interacting a lot with them, this was very noticeable and could have verged on a little intimidating upon entry.
We sat out the back, nobody came to check on anything/ask how it was/check drinks at all after delivering our food.

Pros: Very nice houmous, Potentially cute venue, Pretty cheap

Cons: Lack of food choice, Lack of atmosphere, Staff not very attentive

great little place

I really liked the food - the choice is not too big but everything is super tasty. There is also an outdoor sitting. If you get there, try vegan cheesecake. It's exceptional, and I know what I am talking about - because I'm super picky when it comes to cheesecakes 😁

Pros: tasty, vegan and cheap

Cons: no cons

wonderful food and space

We headed here first during our visit to Barcelona since it was closest to where we are staying. We tried many things on the menu - potatoes, gazpacho, risotto and a burger. We pretty much licked all our plates clean -- everything was delicious!

The wall art was also beautiful and inspiring. I could only guess about the books since I am monolingual but they looked wonderful too. Love their stand for social justice.

Pros: delicious food, everything
