Bon restaurant mais uniquement des légumes - Edit
C'est un bon restaurant, c'est certain. Le menu dégustation version végane est copieux et les saveurs et cuissons sont intéressantes. La soupe en entrée était simple et excellente, l'augergine fondue au miso une bonne découverte. Mais c'est encore un restaurant végétarien gastronomique où il n'y a que des légumes. C'est lassant. Comme si les légumineuses n'existaient pas et qu'on devait être privés de protéines. Ça crée quand même une certaine monotonie dans les plats.

Excellent food to share - Edit
Beautiful place with attentive quick service. We shared starters and mains and had a lot of specials from the board. This miso aubergine and curry baked cauliflower were amazing

Delightful experience - Edit
The place itself was cute and cozy. The staff very attentive and when they brought dairy, not hearing our vegan request among the others, they were really cool and worked with us to accommodate our soy and gluten free needs. Memorable and delicious meal. Was surprised it wasn’t more packed.

Nice vegetable focused bar/restaurant - Edit
Lots of vegan options in a spot with the ambience perfect for dates. The set menu includes a couple glasses of wine, and there’s plenty to explore on the main menu. Our favorite things were the specials this week

Very nice, but vegan? - Edit
Tutto il cibo era molto buono, pane y tomate, gazpacho e sangria. Ho ordinato la tarteleta e ho i miei dubbi che quello che hanno detto essere formaggio vegano, non fosse in realtà Fontina. Spero di sì😄

Amazing tasting menu - Edit
I first went here in 2015 and had one of the best meals of my life, this time was slightly disappointing. I returned this time as a vegan and got the €40 seven-course tasting menu that included sparkling water and two glasses of wine each but found some of the dishes more bland. The aubergine was my favorite. Honestly won’t find a better deal anywhere.

Tasting Menu - Edit
A cozy restaurant and the waiters were accomodating. We had the tapas tasting menu, vegetarian version. It was 7 tapas bread with salsa one desert one glass of wine and a bottle of water. Pretty good price for what we got. I'm a little bit disappointed in the taste, some items we got being fairly similar in execution and taste.

Decent food and prices - Edit
Ate a 7 course plus desert and wine deal for 35 euro. Amount of food was good and most of the food was OK, nothing especially exciting or bad. Staff was nice but we got the first 5 courses within 20 min and felt very rushed.

Una decepción - Edit
Para ser un vegetariano tiene pocas opciones veganas. Los platos que llevan queso te los ponen sin queso en vez de sustituirlo por queso vegano y te cobran el mismo precio (de hecho, te cobran más por el menú degustación vegano, cuando lleva menos ingredientes). Intentan crear una atmósfera íntima con poca luz (demasiado poca) pero ponen hiphop a todo volumen, tuvimos que pedirles que lo bajaran. La comida está buena pero no nos pareció para tanto por el precio que tiene.

Pros: Opciones veganas bien indicadas , Comida rica

Delicious food - Edit
UPDATED NOV 2023 as we went back and it was just as incredibly delicious as before!!
Read moreThis was one of my favourite meals in Barca - they have a general menu where you can pick one main but make sure you get the vegan tapas menu -€40 for vegan and you get 7 courses (though we got 8!), plus dessert, plus 2 glasses of wine and water! All the dishes were amazing (especially the red cabbage and the sprouts) but the best bit of the tapas menu was that it essentially gave you a chance to try all of their mains so no food envy! Do note though, it’s veggie not vegan (and I was disappointed that the vegan option was €5 more expensive than the veggie one) and also it is not traditional Spanish tapas but rather their own dishes (which actually was much much better but not what I was expecting from a tapas menu!!) - however would 100% recommend - all 6 of us (including 2 fussy eaters and 4 non vegans!) all LOVED the food.

Nichts außergewöhnliches mit stolzen Preisen - Edit
Menü für zwei Personen für 35€/Person. Wer es vegan mag, zahlt 5€ mehr pro Person. Irgendwie nicht mehr zeitgemäß. Haben uns extra Brot bestellt und es wurde eine ganze Vorspeise extra berechnet.
Read moreFun fact: Im Lokal riecht es nach Sauerkraut. Auf der Karte konnten wir aber keins finden.
Cons: Preis/Leistung , Nur indoor

Rather ordinary - Edit
This was rather a disappointment considering that the restaurant had such a high value on Happy Cow. The food was good but nothing special neither in taste nor presentation. The local was dark, in a not so enticing neighborhood, and credit card payment wasn't possible. I could give it 3 stars but I'll go with 2 for the disappointment. I hope to return and change my mind.
Read morePros: Food wasn't bad, Vegan options clearly marked, Not far from the center

Love this so much - Edit
We returned here after already eating here in early 2020. The concept of the whole restaurant is exactly my taste, as it does not only offer one specific cuisine and does not use a lot of replacement products. We ordered the same things as back then, the red cabbage and the cauliflower, because they were just that good. We also got a watermelon gazpacho as a free appetizer which we also surprisingly really liked. Sadly we were too full for dessert😒

OK value for money - Edit
food was good not great.
Read moreService was good
got a free apetizer which I did not like but that is taste
Also when leaving I was offered a free shot.
Portions are decent
Overal what you get for your money its worth going to see if you like it.
For me not good enough to repeat cause there are better options in Barcelona
Pros: speed, service, quantity
Cons: no real cons

Decebedor - Edit
Poca varietat i més de la meitat de la carta és vegeteriana. Ofereixen opcions veganes que consisteixen en treure ingredients del plat vegeterià, enlloc de canviar-los per altres de vegans.

Set menu - Edit
We came here as a celebration after our marathon. The restaurant is closed on a Sunday and we came on Monday in March and it was still very busy.
Read moreTechnically a vegetarian restaurant but with vegan options. We opted for the vegan tasting menu so that we didn’t need to choose! All good was very tasty and we left not feeling over-full as can sometimes be the case.
Price is very good (€35 when we visited). This includes a bottle of water and 2 glasses of wine.
Pros: Very good value
