Weird place but good food - Edit
We went for lunch and the hamburger is very good, the place is very small and full of old things. The flavors are everything but boring. Worth a lunch

Un auténtico clásico histórico para los veganos de la ciudad. Merece la pena, y cuando tienen sopa o puré en el menú te levanta el ánimo. Para volver siempre.

Deserves the hype - Edit
We were impressed with the burgers. It has two keys things to making a great burger: 1. Perfect bread (fluffy with a slightly crunchy exterior) and 2. Substantial pattie. The burgers were unique-tasting too -- not your stock-standard lettuce tomato cheese. The patatas bravas were excellent and the beer top quality too. The meal deal (burger, beer, patatas) is one of the most affordable meals I've had in this pricey city. We left very happy.
Read moreThe server was so sweet -- she had really good energy and the vibe all round was pretty upbeat, with some live music too (vocalist and pianist). Not sure if it's like this all the time, but the place seemed a bit understaffed because the server was really busy and took several minutes to take orders and settle bills.

Pros: Affordable, Great food and beer

The piano is available for anyone to play, it's random, we have had amazing players. from a winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, to a guy living on the street who misses his piano, and some occasional bad ones, Insta-book has videos of some of them..
Read moreSince Covid, the number of customers is very erratic, difficult to adjust staffing, if it is quiet the bar staff will serve at the tables, and do split bills, but this takes much more time than the usual "ordering at the bar and paying on ordering".
Ordering at the bar, and "pay as you go", will always be the quickest service, and at busy times the only service, but you get to try the beers before buying.
I was supposed to helping in the the bar while the music was playing, but i had to prepare the bread dough, to be ready to bake at midnight, due to the massive rise in electricity charges during the day, even though i use https://www.somenergia.coop/es/welcome-to-som-energia/ why is the cost of energy high while the sun is providing massive amounts for free, and cheap in the dark?

Definitely recommend - Edit
Enjoyed a really good burger with bravas beer for 12€. Staff was very nice and the atmosphere is this location was really good. Might need to close due to problems with the new owner of the building, who doesn’t want to have a restaurant in there anymore. So definitely go there before it’s too late!

Best vegan bravas in Barcelona - Edit
The bravas are the best you can find in Barcelona. When we went there five burger options and vegan fish and chips were available. It would be 5 stars if the kitchen closed later at night and they were open for lunch. The interior is very nice and punk.
Read moreLas bravas son las mejores de Barcelona. Cuando fuimos habían cinco opciones de hamburgesas y el tofish and chips. Serían cinco estrellas si la cocina cerrara más tarde a la noche y si estuvieran abiertos al mediodia.

Deliciosas burgers - Edit
La carta está orientada a las hamburguesas y no tiene muchas alternativas, pero las burgers que ofrecen están deliciosas. Disfruté mucho con la burger Crazy, acompañada de patatas y ensalada, todo preparado en su cocina. Y por cierto, tienen cerveza artesana. Muy recomendable.

Bedienung unbefriedigend - Edit
Die Bedienung war ziemlich überfordert und teils unfreundlich. Beide Kellner standen lange nur an der Bar und waren an ihrem Handy. Die Burger waren ganz ok, die Bravas sehr lecker.

Passable but.... - Edit
Poor service and black bean burger was fairly insipid and lacking flavor. Someone should tell the cook about good spices... Amateur hour IMHO.

A classic - Edit
You have to be in the mood for this place, it is very basic and feels a bit underground, but the burgers and beers are worth it. Great food in the center of the city.
