Decent Sister Shop to Flax & Kale

I love that there are so many nice vegan friendly restaurants here in Barcelona, and Teresa Carles is one of those spots.

I previously ate at their sister restaurant Flax & Kale and found that experience to overshadow my time at Teresa Carles. I was definitely familiar with many of the overlapping menu items and decided to go with their rotating lunch special for that day's meal.

I started with their gazpacho which was flavorful and a nice treat on a hot summer day. Afterwards I received my vegan kebab which I found a bit underwhelming. The pita felt too soft and there wasn't much of the actual soy meat they used compared to the condiments. It felt more like a TVP crumble on top of soft bread. I did enjoy the vegan pudding dessert to end the meal however.

Since I was leaving on a flight, I did end up ordering one of their veggie burgers and fries to go, and I found that to be much tastier than the kebab that I had at the restaurant.

Despite the 'okay' lunch, I still enjoyed the experience and am glad there's an extensive vegan scene here in the city.

Nos decepcionó

Era la primera que íbamos a Teresa Carles con grandes expectativas ya que es un restaurante referente en Barcelona de la comida veggie.
Pedimos unas croquetas de setas y otras de alcachofas y queso vegano (nada especial).
El gazpacho estaba ok.
Lo más decepcionante fué el cachopo vegano relleno. El cachopo no estaba jugoso y de sabor "meh"!. Las patatas que lo acompañaban estaban muy secas y las salsas que pusieron de estilo hindú no pegaban para nada con el tipo de comida.
Lo sorprendente fué la rapidez con la que sacaban los platos. Intuyo que estaba todo recalentado.
El postre sí que estaba rico.
Referente al personal, el chico que está recibiendo a la gente era simpático y correcto, pero el camarero que nos trajo la comida era poco sonriente y de pocas palabras.

Pros: Ubicación

Cons: Comida, Servicio

Innovative fast food in the city centre

The place is huge, and packed with people during lunchtime. Luckily, we got a table. Service was slightly hurried, resulting in a bit of impoliteness, but the food itself was there quickly and tasted good. Vegan food is clearly marked on the menu, and there is even a selection! I had the gold gazpacho and mushroom risotto, which were both innovative and tasty. Portions could have been bigger, but for that price, not a big deal.

Pros: Quick service, Innovative dishes, Tasty food

Cons: Hurried service, Crowded labyrinth

Great menu

So many great options (vegan and vegetarian) - we were spoiled for choice. They also provided an English language menu, which was helpful. I loved the vegan croquettes (wish these were available near me at home) and the tartare the best. Lots of small plate options or larger main courses too. Plus a host of deserts. Appreciated the nut labelling too as I have a peanut allergy. Good service, maybe a bit hurried but nice people. We’d eat there again for sure. Only thing that jarred as it is an open kitchen, the whole restaurant smelled of burning, but maybe that was a one off.

Little oasis

This restaurant is located in a small and quiet side street in the heart of Barcelona's noisy and crowded city centre. You have to know where it is and tourists won't even notice since it is bit hidden.
The food is great, they serve tipical spanish dishes as vegan/vegetarian. I had a Paella with vegan seefood. Desserts are also fantastic and its not expensive at all.
The place is nice and quiet. Totally recommend it. ❤

Terrible Carles

Upon my recent visit to Teresa Carles, I anticipated a meal that would captivate my palate. Unfortunately, the experience fell dramatically short of expectations. The fare seemed distressingly factory-made, presenting with the rapidity and tepidity of a chain eatery rather than a bespoke dining establishment. The dishes, ranging from Cannelloni to Caesar salad, arrived suspiciously swiftly and lacked warmth. Even the Black Forest cake, evidently pre-cut and refrigerated, failed to deliver the freshness one craves from a patisserie. The beverage selection did not redeem the evening, with many choices unavailable. The ambiance paralleled the food in disappointment, sterile and devoid of charm, leaving me yearning for a more authentic culinary encounter.

It used to be quite good but nowadays their food looks like it was just defrosted... Funnily enough they sell the same dishes frozen at some supermarket chains.

Teresa va di corsa

Allora io ho preso solo il seitan che è arrivato dopo venti secondi da quando l’ho ordinato quindi sono tutti piatti pronti che loro fanno uscire scaldandoli prima al microonde difatti fuori era bollente e dentro freddo che alla fine era anche buono però dai mica stiamo al burger king il punto è che mi è venuta l’ansia sembra che non vedono l’ora che te ne vai tutti di corsa che ti levano il piatto o il caffè quasi mentre stai ancora consumando

Best meal in barcelona

Dude. We’ve had kinda not great food in our trip and we were stoked to finally find good food!!! Made a reservation which I highly recommend, it was a Tuesday and packed. We shared a Cesar salad which I always love and this one was so good. Man, delicious. I got the lasagna and it was lovely, my husband got the paella cause Barcelona and it wa way better than the other one we’ve had in Barcelona. We
Decide on dessert which was a lemon pie and it was awesome, melted literally. Wine was great loved this place

Pros: Best food we’ve had in barcelona, Pretty fast for how busy they were, Cheap, I can’t believe prices in spain

Shockingly vegan

We couldn’t believe those croquettes were vegan. Even double checked the menu and asked the waitress! We went at 6pm and the place was nearly empty but the food was amazing.

Underwhelming

This restaurant came highly recommended by a vegan Facebook travel group so I had high expectations and I was disappointed. Although tasty, the main dish was served barely warm. The dessert wasn't that great to be honest. I really wanted to like it but they missed the mark during my visit. The Google reviews were pretty bad and I chose to ignore them and give it a chance, but it seems that they were correct. I still enjoyed the main dish but wish it was served at a proper temperature. The service was just ok, nothing bad but also nothing great. I was dining alone and felt like I was kind of forgotten at the back of the restaurant.

Pros: Nice looking restaurant , Great walkable location

Cons: Food served barely warm, Taste was underwhelming , Service was just ok

Disappointing vegan lasagne

I had a lasanyuki, which faintly resembles a lasagne. The chef left out the meat, the cheese and added a flimsy piece of pumpkin. No basil, no herbs, no spices. This dish tastes very bland and did not meet my expectations at all.

Updated from previous review on 2023-12-17

Pros: The restaurant looks nice, The red wine is tasty

Cons: The very bland lasanyuki, The menu only contains a few vegan dishes, The restaurant doesn't serve vegan desserts

Affordable fine dining experience

Awesome restaurant with somewhat both casual and upper class atmosphere.
They offer an impressive range of vegan and vegetarian daily dishes that are classified in certain categories - having a special diet, one can immediately see the appropriate dish, be it a legumes dish, pasta, salad, soup and so on.
Good and quick service, posh vibe, fair portions and decent prices, quality food!
I really try to reserve my five-star-reviews to only very special places. Teresa Carles Cocina Vegetariana now belongs in that category. It's a remarkably well-run restaurant with a captivating concept.
They even have a clean bathroom (not necessarily the norm in Barcelona) with a baby's changing table.
Off the top of my mind I can't think of a single bad thing at Teresa Carles'.
