High expectations, not fulfilled

Our dinner was good (although the lasagne was hardly warm) but as Teresa Carles is praised as being one of the best vegetarian restaurants in Barcelona (and one of the oldest), we were disappointed, both culinairy and also regarding the atmosphere

It felt like a ‘factory’, and we did not have a relaxed dinner. Staff was running around and hardly took the time to give some advice. Everything was quick-quick, rushed-rushed. They were practically running from one end of the restaurant to the other. Despite the restaurant not even being full.

We had high expectations as Teresa Carles is often mentioned as the place to go dining in Barcelona for vegans, but we left a bit underwhelmed. Pity.

Pros: accessible, wheelchair accessible toilet, vegan options clearly mentioned, price OK

Cons: staf very rushed and running around, comfort, lasagna was not warm, food not really special

nice space and tasty!

a few choice vegan items on the menu, i had the Rossejat de Fideus, sort of a pasta with dots of home made cashew cream on the top. it was very flavorful if, which could be a good thing, a little on the small portion size. we ordered a basket of bread to help the meal and our satisfaction along. good service in a nice modern space of brick walls and a warehouse/industrial look. not overly friendly service but near acceptable. dinner at 9pm was crowded as it is most places in Spain.

Pros: decent selection, modern clean setting

Cons: waiter and greeter were a bit cold, had to ask for the check after we were done 10 min

Lovely!

I love this restaurant, its one of my Barcelona favorites! Food quality and presentation is amazing. However they use a bit too much garlic and onions in food (which I'm not a fan of due to GERD) but its very pleasing. There is a create your own salad which I love! And they have delicious guilt-free desserts! The atmosphere of the restaurant is very calm and pretty; its full of candles. I love candles! :)

Pros: Nice Staff, Tasty vegan food , Great atmosphere

Cons: Expsensive , Food service is a bit slow.

one of our favourite places

For us, the best thing about Teresa Carles are the salads. Choose one from the menu, or even better, ask for the salad order form and “design your own”, up to 10 ingredients dressing for €12, comes in a massive bowl, piled to the top, enough to satisfy the healthiest of appetites! Don’t order a side or starter!

Alternatively, the menu is loaded to tasty hot dishes, both vegan and vegetarian options.

Service was a bit poor, but has recently improved quite notably. Usually busy, and in summer months, booking is recommended, although we often go without and they always seem to find us a table.

Venue is clean, modern and spacious, although not so cosy unless you get one of the few booths at the back. It’s quite a big place, so it gets noisy.

All in all, a great place for healthy / tasty food, with good portions at a decent price. A regular spot for us. We used to tolerate the poor service because the food is so great, so we are very happy that the owners / management seem to have addressed that issue. If you haven’t been in a while, it’s worth giving TC another chance, especially if you are weary of the typical vegan burger joints and prefer something a bit healthier!

Pros: custom salads, big portions, healthy and tasty

excellent food

Many vegan and GF options. Everything we ate was very good, even the salad was special. This place is recommended for every vegan coming to Barcelona. One of our top 3 places to eat.

Overall high quality, high price

Teresa Carles offers excellent dining and some very interesting dishes. I have tried quite a few of their options and there are few dishes that aren't good. The millefeuille in particular is worth mentioning, the quality level of everything from the crispy base to the sauce is excellent. I would avoid the very soggy, oily and doughy tempura, however.

The staff is not always very pleasant, some of them are outright rude. The price is sometimes too high for what they offer, considering the dishes are not organic, but the level of aspiration sometimes makes up for it.

Overall it's a worthwhile experience, if you get the right dishes. They aspire to a gourmet-level, which they in some cases reach, but in most I would say they don't.

Pros: Some very qualitative dishes, Nice atmosphere, The best vegan millefeuille I have had

Cons: Very expensive, Rude staff, Few vegan options, and the menu doesn't change

A reason to come back to Barcelona

When we stayed in Barcelona for 5 days, we visited this restaurant twice. Always packed with people, great atmosphere and fantastic food. We were with 4 people and have tried many different dishes on the menu and not one disappointed us. This restaurants shows you can make vegetarian food with great taste and would make a carnivore turn veggie. Don’t miss this one when visiting Barcelona and make a reservation in advance.

Pros: Great atmosphere, Fantastic food

Cons: None

Amazing food!!

This was best food I had in Spain!!!

I came here one morning and had the granola, it was delicious. I decided to come again the next night for dinner and they had a variety of vegan options, including the best vegan lasagna I've ever had!! Highly recommend this place.

Cons: Limited vegan options

Bad experience

I ordered from the menu the VEGAN salad of the day, and it came with fresh cheese, i tried because I thought it was vegan, then I saw it wasn't, I told e waitress and told me it was a mistake, they changed it and brought me another one with different cheese.. my boyfriend ate it. I was so disappointed.
It's a vegetarian restaurant so I didn't expect this confusion and I didn't enjoy my meal after all this..

Pros: Very tasty, Menú 10.50

Cons: They put cheese in my vegan salad , They did it a second time, Very dark

something unique

Good, if a bit expensive. Vegan options limited.

We had a late lunch at Teresa Carles. The vegan options are somewhat limited on the menu, and it seems that most dihes are already pre-prepared, so that replacements are not always possible. What we had was very good, though, in particular the mushrooms in brown sauce from the Teresa's specials menu. Charging 2 EUR for osmotic water and 6 EUR for a juice in a plastic bottle from the fridge was a bit much.

Pros: Food was good, open all around

Cons: Vegan choices limited, a bit expensive

Tasty

I had to spend a fair amount of time in Barcelona recently and ate at this restaurant three times in the span of four weeks. The third time was a bit disappointing from a service perspective but the food is great.

Pros: Good choice and for the kids as well, Both vegan and veggie option

Cons: Service could be better
