<\/div>

Barcelona is, in a word, gorgeous. This diverse city offers everything from alta-monta\u00f1a views to skinny Spanish-style streets. But most importantly, they\u2019ve got a fast-growing vegan scene and some restaurants in town that are seriously pushing beyond the boundaries of vegan coolness.<\/p>\n

While filming for the documentary series, I was working with two different vegan organizations in Barcelona. I also met up with a friend I\u2019d made while backpacking through South America and we decided to hit the town and grab a bite to eat. Knowing that he\u2019s not vegan, I wanted to find a good place that could whip up some impressive vegan eats so that I could show off how delicious it is to not eat animals. So, I whipped out the ole\u2019 HappyCow app<\/a> and found myself glaring at a listing for \u201cFloripa<\/a>\u201d, a brand new vegan joint in the heart of town with a poppin\u2019 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s theme that was said to be the perfect place to take non-vegan friends. And so it was decided. I sent the owner an email that I\u2019d be coming by with camera in hand and he said he\u2019d fire up the kitchen.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Walking into Floripa<\/a> is an experience in itself. You\u2019re immediately hit with lavish colors from the previous millennia and beautiful design. The whole place is decked out with furnishings from the 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s and the owner, Andre, told me that the place is absolutely packed on the weekends for people coming in late-night for drinks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Andre is an ethical vegan with a serious taste for flavor.<\/p>\n

My friend and I were lucky enough to chow down on Floripa<\/a>\u2019s specialty nachos, bacon cheeseburger, and a set of some super fresh juices.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At the end of the meal, my friend told me he\u2019d definitely fancy heading back to Floripa<\/a> and even asked Andre what time they open for brunch \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
