I had lunch and dinner at Flax & Kale last Saturday I was in Barcelona and I absolutely loved it. It claims to be a flexitarian restaurant including vegetarian, plant based (vegan) options and some dishes with oily fish. It seems to be focused in health and nutrition with fancy cooking techniques and ingredients. While I am happy enough following a whole foods vegan diet and do not care too much about the miraculous properties of some super foods, detox juices and so on I found their offering to be delicious, creative and very inspired. The place itself is beautifully designed, the atmosphere vibrant, busy and hip which is a good thing for a change and makes it suitable for a quick lunch or a special dinner. The grilled asparragus with baby fava beans and Teresa's plant based black butifarra were really good as well as the mushroom tacos and the paella style black rice (damm, I really need this recipe). To top it all up, the desserts are all vegan which is not very common even in many vegetarian restaurants and the copito blanco cake was to die for. I'll definitely go back next time I am in Barcelona.
