Decent

Made reservations but was probably unnecessary.

We ordered the Montadito de jackfruit (would recommend), stuffed potatoes (okay), zucchini rolls (should be paired with crostini), and smoked tofu quiche (more a pie, kinda cold in the center). We also got 2 desserts: textures of banana (surprisingly refreshing) and double chocolate pie (not too sweet).

Altogether if I was in the area, I would go again but I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here.

Unique vegan dishes

They had a range of starters and ‘specials’ that were innovative and different, not the type of dish you always find at a vegan restaurant! I absolutely loved that, plus the food was delicious. Fairy well priced too.
I will be coming back to try their daily menu💗
Ps.Definitely try their desserts, also worth it!

Cata + sopar

Vaig anar a una cata de vins naturals amb @miguel.figini organitzada per @labaulavi que inclou sopar. A la cata es presenten els vins fora de carta que formem part de la carta efímera del restaurant, en aquest cas tota la primavera del 2024.
El local es petit pero dona sensació d'amplitud i està molt ben decorat.
El servei amable.
Els entrants em van semblar tots una delicia, molt gustosos. Els plats principals no em van agradar tant, els hi faltava un xic de sal però no sé si era perque ja estava molt tipa. Les postres molt correctes, especialment la boleta de xocolata i avellanes.
M'agradaria tornar a anar per provar em menú normal. El recomano.

Maravilloso!

No hay mucha foto, pero porque había hambre y todo estaba tan rico que … fue imposible fotografiar nada. Un trato genial pese a llegar apunto de cerrar y petFriendly 💚

Platos variados y elaborados

La carta de este restaurante contiene platos muy elaborados y auténticos. Desde quiche hasta paella. Super recomendable. Los canelones de atún me encantaron, igual que el cheesecake de limón.

Bueno

Comimos pinchitos de chorizo y de butifarra, buenísimos. También langostinos rebozados con mayonesa, excepcional. Y por último, una fondue de anacardos con brocheta de seitan, a este le faltó más pan porque nos quedamos comiendo cucharadas de la salsa. El seitán no me gustó para nada, muy seco y ademas el calabacín muy crudo para mi gusto.

El servicio muy bueno, muy amables y eficaces.

La decoración era bonita.

Pros: Fondue de anacardos, Pinchos de chorizo y butifarra, Langostinos rebozados

Cons: Brocheta de seitan, Calabacin de la brocheta

I enjoyed the food for the most part flavour wise but the portions could be bigger and our food wasn’t fully warm.

Tasty and affordable lunch set

Arrived to find dirty tables, but the friendly staff quickly cleaned one for us. Service was fast, and we could order a multi-course menu even close to closing time. The lunch package at 12.50 included a starter, main course, water and dessert or drink (coffee/tea). While portions weren't huge, combining starter and main made it enough.

Simple vegan cuisine

Daily menu is perhaps too simple, with scarce portions, but overall good and 100% vegan.

I really hope it was just a bad day

To be honest, we weren't really hungry but the images of the interior and the fact it's a woman's own made us come. The tree inside is really cool.
For a start we took the zucchini and the eggplant dishes which were basic and good. We took the vegetable paella but the rice was under cooked, salty and sour. We took 2 bites and left the rest of the plate.
Maybe it's me, but I was expecting the owner to be more active.

Pros: Great interior

Cons: The paella wasn't good

Qué ricas las bravas

Local agradable, la decoración con el árbol que tienen resulta curiosa. La ubicación es ideal, ojalá hubiera más sitios veganos así en los barrios sin tener que ir al centro. Los platos son interesantes, pero lo que nos encantó fueron las patatas bravas. Para repetir.

Pros: Ubicación, Local, Tranquilidad

Striving for Seafood Excellence

Alive is a great choice for vegan cuisine If you're willing to travel outside the center. Serving cod, shrimp, and calamari, Alive creates a worthwhile, unique seafood experience but stick to the seafood.

If you're coming from the subway, the easiest transportation method from the center, the neighborhood does not inspire fine dining. The exterior and location also contradict what you will see inside. The carefully crafted interior decor feels clean and sleek, and the soft beachy colors and woven seagrass complement the seafood options.

We started with Croquetas. I've had a lot of croquetas from many different places in Spain. These were not my favorite. They were under-burned, but the interior creme inside was serviceable. Not a great start.

The seafood is perfectly crafted. The Buñuelos de Bacalao (Cod Fritters) are fluffy and fishy, served in a green corn starch-based cream sauce. Both pair incredibly well. The paella with calamari and shrimp was great. The calamari was cooked perfectly in oil and then placed on the dish. The rice was al dente, a deceptively difficult accomplishment.

The dessert was disappointing. The texture of the trifle and the mousse were too thin. I felt like I was eating melted ice cream. None of the other options interested me, so I'd skip it altogether.

There are some problems here, but the seafood radiates at Alive. If you stick to these choices, you will not be disappointed.

Pros: Seafood, Ambience

Cons: Location

Buena comida 🥝

La decoración del restaurante es bonita y acogedora. Me gustó el hecho de que dejaran entrar a animales. La comida era correcta, aunque algunos comensales echamos de menos el uso de más especias. Me gustó especialmente el cheesecake de limón 🍋. ¡Las patatas que acomapñaban la hamburguesa estaban realmente buenas! Volveremos.

Tapas for a good price

Loved the tapas here - great to try some that would usually not be vegan. 3 tapas plus a glass of sangria came to €22.

Very good

We shared a few tapas and starters for a light dinner and they were all super tasty

BTW the restaurant it is located in one of the most fascinating brutalist residential builings across Barcelona(*), which makes the whole experience much more interesting if you love brutalism (which is obvioulsly my case).

Pros: excellent food, fairly priced, located in a brutalist landmark

Cons: our waiter was a bit stiff, food took a while 2b served-understaffed kitchen?

very nice

went there for lunch should have gone for dinner.
It was very busy when I left there was even a small line outside.
Food was nice and a nice presentation.
price wise on the little more expensive side foor food i BCN but with a good reason.
When looking at other people's food I think there are even nicer options than what I choose
Some dishes have meat replacers/fake meat. I call it vegan for non vegans..... as you can make great vegan food without replacing meat.
Very mixed crowd, a lot of people in football shirts.... it was nice to see how the wider public is getting into vegan food

Pros: nice food

Cons: busy
