Feel-great food!

One of my favourite restaurants in Barcelona. Great location, friendly staff (when it's not too busy!) and amazing food. What I most love about this place is that for 11,50 everything is included, although smaller menu options exist, and you feel great after having eaten there! Plates are generous and the full menu includes two dishes, dessert, water, bread and tea. Everything is delicious and lots of the ingredients come from their own organic veggie garden. The only handicap is that it is well-known and usually quite full, which means that during the summer it can be too hot and that you will have to share a table with other clients.

Pros: Generous portions, Everything included (food and drinks), Healthy and great taste

Cons: Sometimes to warm inside, Very busy, Need to share table

So Much Yummy Food

Great lunch time vegetarian macrobiotics spot. There are three options, the three course meal, two course, or the plate. I was warned in advance that the plate alone is almost too much food and I'm glad I listened. Despite being really hungry I could barely finish my plate. The food was well seasoned, there was a variety of different vegetables, and the staff are super nice. Loved it.

Pros: Vegan Options, Deliciously flavored, Lots of food

Cons: Lunch only

Wonderful food

I was wrong, I went back again and loved the place. I have been there at least 5 times by now. The best for me in Bcn!!!

This previous review must be because of bad day in the kitchen or something wrong with my taste that day:


This is really a vegan/vegetarian canteen place. After my visit I was wondering what I actually ate. No taste, no impression, canteen atmosphere and not even the desert was exciting.

Maybe I got a healthy macrobiotic lunch meal but I have had macrobiotic food which had taste..

Delicious and 90% vegan

One of the first vegetarian restaurants in Barcelona, it is now 90% vegan. The delicious, nutritious fare is also great value - with more emphasis on whole foods and less on the processed fake meats that some vegan restaurants rely too heavily on. Big portions with lots of variety - black rice, vegetable stew, salad, pasta, and loads of vegan desserts. All freshly prepared. The atmosphere is wonderful and friendly with lots of locals and regulars sharing tables and chatting in a communal environment. Highly recommended!

Pros: Delicious and healthy, 90% vegan, Friendly communal atmosphere

Good Choice

A place not be knocked. Very ethical and healthy, serving vegan food in a basic seating area located in a shop selling various health food products, vegetables and vegetarian and vegan foodstuffs. I haven't eaten here but I will certainly do so next time in Barcelona. Located just off the Grand Via at Universitat.

Pros: Healthy, Store
