Absolute Must

You have to go more than once in order to try everything because there are so many amazing dishes. However the lasagne is an absolute MUST

The food is top drawer, almost has a homemade feel to it which I ❤️

It's hard to imagine how someone could go here and not give ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, it's really not surprising it's Barcelona's top rated veggie restaurant.

Espacio tranquilo en medio del Raval

Este espacio vegan es un recreo mental en medio del a veces ruidoso barrio del Raval. Los dueños y la camarera son todos muy amables y la tostada y el café que me pedí, ambos deliciosos!
También tienen un pequeño espacio de venta de productos locales y las paredes exponen trabajos fotográficos e ilustrados.

Great experience, friendly staff

Great experience, very friendly staff and cosy place. We first started with patatas bravas, fried potato slices in aioli sauce and hot tomato sauce. We then ordered a full English breakfast with sausage, scrambled tofu, baked beans, potato fritters and mushrooms, while I had their sausage roll and a nice pumpkin soup. Definitely recommended.

Pros: Good food, Very friendly staff , Super cosy place

Categorically excellent

Based in the vibrant university district is this wonderful fully vegan restaurant. The welcoming, plant strewn interior relaxes you immediately. Coupled with the extremely friendly waiter, the first impressions set the tone perfectly.

The patatas bravas were a great start, good sauces and potatoes cooked to perfection.

My main was a combo. First was the courgette soup with seeds. Extremely tasty and accompanied by wonderfully crispy bread. This was followed by fideau. I’d never had it before and was blown away by the flavours and textures. The avocado aioli stirred through the pasta, mushrooms. asparagus and peppers creates a rich, deep flavoured dish, sensational. The waiter was happy to discuss the history of and the chef’s relationship to the dish. I even went out and bought the specific pasta used in an effort to recreate the dish.

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her all day breakfast. A huge plate of goodness, the tamari mushrooms were especially good.

For dessert we shared a chocolate muffin. To call it a muffin is selling it short. On top was a large helping of chocolate sauce and the size of the dessert was bigger than most restaurant’s cakes. The fact that it was sugar free makes you wonder why anyone bakes with sugar.

When I am next in Barcelona I will be back to try the rest of the menu. A must visit restaurant.

Pros: Lovely interior, Welcoming staff, Perfect food

Awesome lunch

Went here to check why it's been rated the top vegan restaurant worldwide and all I have to say is food, service and staff definitely deserve 5 stars.

Pros: original and tasty dishes, super nice staff make you feel at home

Cons: fideuá was a bit bland, muffins are the only choice for dessert

Awesome little hole in the wall!

This little snack bar is a must see!

Upon arrival at the little bar in the trendy Raval barrio I was greeted by Carlos, one of the owners and waiter to our table. He was so friendly and accommodating from the get go.

I had the quinoa croquetas which were delicious with its red dipping sauce. I also had the spring rolls, so fresh and clean!

After these tapas I had the lasagne, I normally don’t order lasagne, but Carlos recommended it and I was literally blown away. So tasty!

I had a few of the local artisanal beers which were delicious and refreshing with great stories behind the breweries.

The venue is a cute, rustic hole in the wall with some great artists showcasing their work.

I highly recommend popping in to visit!

Número 1

Estou sentado no CactusCat bar enquanto escrevo esta review, depois de ter provado 3 dos pratos, umas maravilhosas patatas bravas e uns cupcakes buenísimos. Este é o número 1 dos bares/restaurantes vegan no mundo, não tem um estilo Fancy, não tem comida feita por chefes de alta categoria, não tem talheres banhados a prata, tem aquilo que todos os restaurantes vegan deveriam de ter, sinceridade. O espaço é honesto e por isso confortável, sinto-me em casa e sinto que todos que partilham a sala comigo são parte da minha família, a comida é boa, saborosa e saudável, e prova que não é preciso inventar, com processos morosos, técnicas de requinte, é só preciso combinar bons ingredientes da maneira correta.

Pros: Tudo Vegan e bom

Cons: Não ser em Portugal 😂

PARA REPETIR 100 veces

Es dificil encontrar auténticos restaurantes veganos con comida elaborada y deliciosa... en Barcelona lo hemos encontrado!! Todo un descubrimiento estando de hotel hemos pedido take away y hemos disfrutado enormemente! Una lasagna suculenta, unas lentejas gustosas y unos muffins que no habia comido en la vida!! Encima sin gluten y sin azucares! Que vengan a Mallorca!

Pros: Sabroso, Elaborado, Saludable

Cons: Racciones pequeñitas para comilones como nosotros

We loved it!

Excellent cheese board (the ham is incredible, I loved the tomato jam, and the picante cheese was my fave), sausage roll (so rare to find these vegan and this one hit the spot), great artisan beer helping a good cause, and great service. Couldn't have been any better. We'll be back!

IMPRESIONANTE

Después de probar este sitio ya es muy difícil volver a puntuar con 5 estrellas, la comida impresionante, probé la deliciosa lasaña y los aros de konjac con salsa, una delicia para el paladar, el postre nos deleitamos con la muffin de chocolate; la llamaría muffin a las 3 temperaturas, ya que cada parte estaba en su punto, y cada cucharada verticalmente hacia una sensación exquisita, El sitio precioso y acogedor, y el gran punto a su favor que muchos sitios cojean es el trato al cliente excepcional, interactuamos con la persona que nos atendió de principio a fin y se le notaba que le encantaba dar el mejor trato posible y hacer de la visita una experiencia fantástica. No creo q nunca escriba una reseña mejor que está, posiblemente el único sitio para poder igualar la experiencia sería villa vegana en el municipio de Selva en Baleares

Excellent restaurant!

The staff was super friendly and if you needed extra souce they had no inconvenient to bring it to you. Also the food was excellent, very tasty and generous portions.
Moreover, the decoration was unique. Every corner was a surprise. You didn't know what drawing/sticker could you find.

At the end, they also gave us a sticker of the place!!

Pros: Generous portions, Tasty food, Friendly stuff

Cons: A little hard to find the restaurant without GPS

Nice food

The fourth star is for the nice service. Even though, I have to admit that my expectations were not fulfilled. The food was just ok. For example my Vietnamese rolls were too salty.

Pros: Delicious side salad
