Growing Underground - Edit
Bing, bang, bong. I'm not going to beat around the bush here. This place is an instant 5 Happy Cow hit, no doubt it. It's also 100% vegan, so everything I mention from this point onwards does not need to be queried. No questions asked. As soon as you walk in, you can just tell how good the place is. It was 5 cows even before the food was served, and even before we saw the menu. We shared a starter of a spinach waffle topped with roasted vegetables and tahini. For the main courses we had the following; (1) sausage pizza topped with mozzarella and tomatoes (2) battered chicken skewers and potato fries served with a BBQ dip and salad. Battered chicken baby. This took me back to my very very bad and distant KFC days before I saw the light. Next time someone asks me "do you eat chicken" I can say "yes I do, go to Rizoma in Barcelona and find out for yourself". I would probably lose my temper first though at their ignorance. It's a common query we have to deal with along with the fish question. Rizoma is fronted by an amazing young man who is passionate about veganism. He makes you feel very welcome indeed. Starters are €5 to €7.50 and main courses €9 to €14. That is good in my eyes. A bottle of house wine is a decent €15. I feel this is fairly priced. Perfect lighting, great location just north of Diagonal in the vicinity of some superb bars for a cheeky beer before the meal. Please make room for Rizoma when in Barcelona. I don't give out 5 happy cows on a whim. This wasn't a whim, this is the future of restaurants in decades to come once humans realise meat should never have been on the agenda.

Great food! - Edit
I tried many vegan restaurants, and this one is one of the best I had the luck to find. Great food, very accurate preparation, every detail is perfect in the dish. I clap my hands! I hope to come back one day!

Una maravilla para todos los paladares. - Edit
Da igual si eres vegano o comes de todo porque en Rizoma ni te darás cuenta que la mozarella es vegana:) hemos probado sushi y pizza y los dos platos eran riquisimos. Obviamente nos hemos quedado con ganas de más. El local muy simple pero acogedor; te explicaran cualquier duda y después las recetas las puedes buscar en el blog del chef. Me encantó, os recomiendo a todos, especialmente si buscais la version vegana de la verdadera pizza.

Fui a rizoma con dos amigas no veganas y fliparon con el pollo de la ensalada cesar, las hamburguesas y el tiramisú. Todo muy bien logrado. EL espacio agradable, cálido, limpio y muy bien atendido.

Fantastic - Edit
Targetted this place on the walk between Segrada Familia and Park Guell. Nice place, quite small and all indoors. I was with my son so we ordered everything off the set menu (there were 2 each of starters, mains and desserts) and everything was fantastic especially for such a great price. the service was great as well, friendly and attentive.

Nice place, great set menu - Edit
I visited Rizoma for Saturday lunch.
Read moreI arrived a little bit after they opened, so there was plenty of space and I could get a table without a reservation (probably for dinner you'd better make one).
The service was quick, nice and friendly.
I ordered the set menu (14 euros), which is a superb deal as it comes with an entree, a main, a dessert and drink!
The food was very good; but nothing outstanding.
However, the lunch menu changes everyday, so you might get lucky.
It seems that they have a stable menu for dinner time, so I will try it next time. I'm sure it will be great!
Pros: great value, nice vibe, lunch menu changes everyday
Cons: lunch menu changes everyday

Fantastic - Edit
One of the best experiences we had in Barcelona. Had been walking around for ages trying to find the place so we were pushing it for closing time when we arrived. They had ran out of the main on their three course set menu but whipped us up something else and it was some of the best food we'd had all holiday. We were so grateful as we'd been wandering around, our legs hurt and we were hungry so they made our day. Fantastic food and a very good price too - €12 for three courses at lunch. Definitely go here if you are in Barcelona. 100% vegan

Chic place - Edit
The owner created a website with lots of free vegan recipes in spanish lang (www.dimensionvegana.com). Nice to go there and support his hard work, though it can be a bit pricey and some foods are just ok. Loved the mushrooms with pate tho

Delicious menu :) - Edit
We've been here today (Friday) They just had a daily menu (LUNCHTIME), the rest of the menu is just in the evenings, were not so many options, but we took both first dishes and the one option for the maincourse:
Read moreThe quinoa/seaweed salad was delicious, they don't use salt and you can really tell.
We also get watermelon gazpacho that was nice, and the maincourse, for me, the best vegan pizza i had in Barcelona ever. Delicious texture from the mozzarela,(i know the ingredients are not the healthiest) and the bread was really nice :) (whole flour)
For 12€ you get first, maincourse, wine/water and the dessert + expresso or tea. They charge extra 2€ for a coffe with milk that in my opinion could be included in the same price. Also the dessert was too much (ice cream+brownie) but maybe awesome for sweetooth people.
The teas are yogi tea :)
Oh, the free apetizer was appreciate, really creamy and light carrot mayonnese with mini wholebread sticks.
Thankful :)
Pros: Good vegan cheese, Good quality ingreients, 100% organic, vegan
Cons: Menu price without coffe option, Not many options

Best restaurante I've been in my life - Edit
I was really excited of going to Rizoma, because I have been seeing a lot of goods photos and reviews in these months since they opened and the chef Javier Guarascio is well known in the Vegan Comunnity.
Read moreWe had really good food, big portions, original things that I couldn't believe the way they taste. I hardly recomend the place, for vegan and not vegan people, because you are going to be in love with the food.
You have variety, tasty salad and sweet meals, raw and chocolate cakes to choose, people in there is nice and simple, familiar ambient, every day you have a diferent option to eat... I am in love. Rizoma is the best restaurante I've been in my life.
Pros: Amazing food, Original menues, Excellent chef

Not what we were expecting ... - Edit
The food was very unnatural ... Seemed like fried gunk, like tbp rather than anything organic and fresh. Honestly, it was barely edible. Don't know why our experience was so different from the other reviews.
Read moreMariano Sanchez
What is natural? Because, at first, not all the things that are natural are good. Rizoma is excellent.
Read moreThey had organic (not every food in there is organic but the most of the ingrients are, but who cares if it is organic or not...) fresh combinations, amazing menues, the cakes are excellent, original dishes.
I think your review is deshonest, and that's why your experience was so different from our reviews.

A Catalan Vegan's dream - Edit
It is not too often that you can find such a high quality vegan "author-cuisine"in a Catalan city. The food at Rizoma is just Amazing. It's important to reserve in advance. I believe a brilliant future is on its way for them. Highly recommendable. Close to Sagrada Familia. Nice midday menu for good price.

Excellent vegan creative food! - Edit
What a great meal! Javier is a master chef! every dish was a goosebumpy experience and a joy! We walked and walked in Gracia neighborhood to find this restaurant which had only been opend for 2 weeks when we ate there. The design and service were quite basic, but who cares when food is such a gastrorgasmic experience?! Javier came to our table to explain us his project, Rizoma it is not just a restaurant, it is a place to discover food combination in a very creative way. A place I will definitely go back. Price were moderate and food was above our expectation! Bravo!
