	Review: No reason not to eat here, but no reason to travel to it. Food is bland krishna. We had the dahl and seitan and both where w/o flavor. Its set meals so you pick an appetizer and a main for 14.50 euro, we split as the portions were huge. English not spoken, but they will mark with a "v' everything that is vegan.   Pros: * * Cons: bland * *

"Okay"   My Rating
14 Midori	Posted on: Sunday, March 01, 2009
	Review: There were multiple vegan options at this lacto-veg restaurant (all dishes being egg-free), which was nice. For my set price meal, I got a decent miso soup, bread, and a plate that included a good homemade veggie burger patty (no bun), baked sweet potato (surprisingly good - cooked just right), and an avocado salad that was overly chilled. There was a marinara-style tomato sauce on the plate, presumably to dip the veggie burger in, but I didn't think the two went together, so I donated it to my lacto husband, who received a pizza with too much cheese and not enough sauce for his taste. There is no wine here, and although our server helpfully offered to find me an apple puree, there are no real vegan desserts. There is, however, a good variety of herbal teas, and for the lacto veggies, yogurt drinks. The service here was slow, probably because one server was covering the entire restaurant, which made her job hard. On the plus side, the place is nonsmoking. There are better vegetarian restaurants in Barcelona, though if you find yourself in the area of Amaltea, there is no reason not to step in for one meal.   Pros: vegan options * good portion sizes * herbal tea Cons: understaffed * no wine * no vegan dessert

"OK, but not great"   My Rating
4 diehard	Posted on: Tuesday, April 01, 2008
	Review: True, the price was right at 10 euro's for lunch, but the dhal was only ok. The salad bar was good, as was the homemade bread. The spinach lasagne was so cheesy as to be almost un-edible. The apple crumble and coffee were good, and the staff very friendly and helpful. If you want ok food at a good price, go there. Otherwise, try some of the other veggie places around town.   Pros: cheap * friendly staff * Cons: so so food * *

"A veggie gem"   My Rating
1 mariabsmai l	Posted on: Sunday, March 02, 2008
	Review: I had lunch at Amaltea and it was a very enjoyable experience. For 10 euros you get a three course meal (huge portions) and a drink - the food is really nice and the salad bar is great. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was really nice and welcoming. A great little veggie haven - I really recommend paying a visit to when in Barcelona.   Pros: friendly staff * good value * great food Cons: * *

"Best Vegetarian in Barcelona!"   My Rating
2 gobi108	Posted on: Tuesday, October 02, 2007
	Review: This was by far my favorite place to eat in Barcelona. I tried many other vegetarian places during one week and this was the only one we went back to again. The dinner menu was 14 euros for an appetizer, which was really big and filling, an entree and dessert. The salad bar was fresh, and the dahl appetizer was so yummy. All the entrees were delicious also. I had the coconut flan for deessert and it was great.   Pros: so yummy * good price * large servings Cons: * *

"Yummy and Friendly"   My Rating
4 dianajoy	Posted on: Monday, September 03, 2007
	Review: We went there for lunch at the end of August and really enjoyed our meals, we both chose the 'menu' at about 8 euros, which included two hearty options from about 10 or so choices (I would consider both 'entrees' and the menu confused us a bit, but our server was very nice in explaining things), as well as a drink and dessert. I chose the salad bar as one option, and it was full of fresh, appetizing choices, including a type of guacamole that I didn't recognize at first since it was more yellow than the green I'm used to, but super tasty. We both got cheesy dishes for our second choice, but it seems like vegans can eat well too. And the staff were very friendly and informative, the decor pleasant and appealing (especially compared to another restaurant we tried the previous day, for lack of better options at the time, Fres co, an all you can eat salad bar that was not so great and very noisy!). My only complaint was the stinginess with the water, since they gave me bottled water the first time, and I just wanted tap water the second time around, which seemed to annoy the server and she just brought me a small wine-glass full. A carafe would have been nice, since we were very hot and thus very thirsty! But otherwise, an all around great place, I definitely recommend it!   Pros: good food * friendly staff * good value Cons: not enough water * *

"Lots of vegan options!"   My Rating
17 kyvegan	Posted on: Thursday, July 26, 2007
	Review: I had a number of amazing culinary experiences during my week in Barcelona but this was, by far, my favorite! Went for dinner and had the prix fixe menu. The waiter was extraordinarily friendly and helpful. He pointed out which dishes were vegan (about 80%) and I was impressed with the portion sizes. Best of all--vegan chocolate carrot cake for desert! Couldn't ask for a nicer experience or a more hospitable staff. Try the tofu curry!   Pros: friendly staff * vegan options * nice portions Cons: none! * *
