My favorite brunch place

Spettacolare l’hummussisimo, ma è sempre tutto buonissimo. Tante opzioni vegane e ben segnalate. Locale stupendo e bellissima la terrazza.

Pros: Terrazza, Hummus

Inconsistent

Having read another comment saying the same, I thought service was odd - the waiter was hovering, taking our plates just as we were finishing, and didn’t crack a smile.
Had a passion fruit cake during the day which was amazing, so we’d come back for dinner.
Ribs were good - but possibly need something else on the side as they were quite sweet. My pad Thai was also alright, very light.
Dessert-wise, I had a pretty sour cheesecake, possibly it was even off. My partner’s cake was lovely though.

Meraviglioso pranzo all'aperto a gennaio

Locale molto carino e ben arredato. C'è la possibilità di mangiare in terrazza sotto il sole anche in inverno. Piatti molto particolari. Abbiamo preso un pad thai con fake chicken e delle fake ribs. Porzioni abbondanti. Buonissimi entrambi! Super consigliato! #Veganuary

Amazing experience

Absolutely loved this place and the food was so nice, would definitely come back for more. The waiters were very lovely and made us feel welcome 😊 the only downside is that our food was forgotten in the kitchen until we asked to check, but other than that really enjoyed everything.

Pros: Lots of interesting vegan options , Friendly staff, Nice cosy atmosphere

weirdest service ever

As all the other reviews have said, the food is great, delicious, yet super refreshing. but the service was absolutely bizarre. not dismissive or rude, but the waiters kept hovering and my friend and I felt like we were being watched all the time. My friend and I shared a muffin (which was delicious), as well as other things on their menu, and the waiters kept taking away our plates, even though we weren’t done. I had 5 bites left of my toast, and the waiter started taking my plate away without asking!! I am usually so relieved by the service in Spain, where waiters leave you alone until you call them and ask for the check—was not the case here. I’m not totally sure what to make of it—I guess I’d suggest to go, but make sure you are protective of your unfinished food, so a waiter doesn’t swoop in and take it before you are finished!

Pros: delicious, healthy food

Cons: terrible service

Would give 5* if I could!

Absolutely sensational meal and our favourite of the holiday so far. Service, atmosphere, restaurant all beautiful. Book the terrace if you can! The ribs and meatballs were spookily realistic, and their house wines are naturally vegan. A really special meal we loved every bite. My pad thai was nice however looking back I probably wouldn’t order it again, however the hummus, broccoli and ribs were all 10/10.

Pros: Lots of options, Beautiful decor and restaurant , Well priced vegan wine

Really enjoyable dining experience

We had lunch here on our trip in Barcelona

The venue is large, well laid out and spacious.

The service quick but friendly and attentive

The food is wonderful. Really tasty, clever healthful dishes. We enjoyed the dumplings, Caesar salad and bbq ribs. All were excellent and thoroughly enjoyed

Would recommend and we are planning a dinner visit before we go home

Pros: Food, Venue, Quick

Cons: Slightly too business like service at times

Pranzo davvero buono e saporito

Locale molto carino, costoso il giusto (per noi italiani), pietanze interessanti e non banali: il menu ha tantissima scelta vegan e plant-based.
Bella scoperta!

Better for vegans to go for lunch/dinner

I went here for breakfast and was really underwhelmed by the vegan options on the “vegan brunch”. Really only an avo toast, acai bowl etc.

Don’t get me wrong there are HEAPS of tasty and interesting vegan things on the menu. I just didn’t feel like that at 9:30am so wished I had come a little bit later.

I got avo toast which was nothing special at all - I have had some unique takes on this item in the past (even tho it’s basic) so expected a bit more. Coffee was also kind of average.

My husband got the BBQ rib tacos which were AMAZING. It’s a massive meal though - 23EUR and 6 tacos (we didn’t realise). But still made light work of it 😃.

Pros: Interesting vegan options for lunch/dinner

Cons: Not good vegan breakfast options, Staff service didn’t blow me away

Avoid. Bad service.

Avoid this place. I got sh*t over by a pigeon on their roof terrace (at a corner that was already full of pigeon sh*t) and the waiters don’t care. I had to wash my jacket in the toilet and in the meanwhile my food was cold and had to ask to relocate twice. The manager confirmed that they had a pigeon problem and that it had to do with the neighbors (?). Still, it’s the customers problem and not theirs. So please avoid this place; see my other reviews for my recommendations in Barcelona.

La verdad..

Los nachos estaban un poco stale, and that did it for me because there was so much hype about this place being fresh and organic. Solo fuí una vez pero era un ambiente comfortable para estudiar o dibujar. (Overdue review)

Plenty of vegan and gluten free options all well declared. Was such an outstanding experience to eat there even with 8 people (reservation recommended).
Would give 5 stars but it is reserved for vegan and vegetarian restaurants from happy cow.

Pros: Plenty of vegan options , Healthy, delicious and amazing looking food , Friendly and helpful stuff

Recomanable

Molta varietat de menjar, espai immens i atenció impecable.

Pros: Moltes opcions veganes i molt bones., Horari molt ampli, és fàcil que sigui obert., Lloc molt cèntric.

Cons: No és 100% vegà., Hi va tantíssima gent que de vegades és ple., Potser és una mica car.
