So delicious ❤️

This place is amazing. Yes the serve fish, but 80% of their food is plant based. Happy cow don’t allow 5 star ratings for non veg establishments but I would definitely give one if I could. I had the black spaghetti which was lovely and an AMAZING chocolate brownie with strawberry ice cream. Just divine.

Très chic

Le plat de pâtes était excellent mais pas assez copieux à mon gout (j'aime beaucoup manger😄
Le choix de plats vegan est très satisfaisant
Boissons et plats un peu cherà mon gout mais les saveurs valent tout de même le détour
Un peu décue par la tarte aui était un peu trop sèche

Pros: ambiance et service, les plats salés

Cons: un peu cher

Fab food!

Dinner here twice. My husband is an omni but more than happy to go vegan here as the food was delicious. We shared some spicy kale crisps on the first night then I had the green ravioli...so good! OH had the tacos. Night 2 I had the mushrooms first then the orange ravioli!! Although not all PB it's a great place for couples like us where one isn't vegan.

Pros: Good atmosphere, Lots of choice, Great food

I came here twice - once for dinner and once for brunch. Both times staff were friendly, food was fantastic and the pricing wasn't too bad.

Pros: Reasonable pricing for delicious food, Good service, Beautiful interior

Yummy and fresh

Flax & Kale is famous in Barcelona for a reason. It’s fresh, whole-ingredient goodness. I went with some non-veggie friends and family, and we all enjoyed our meal. It is a tad pricey, but I think the vegan options for breakfast are not. I had the plant-based bacon and cheese bagel, which was delicious (can you say vegan marscapone?!?) and a great value. I also recommend their Virus Killer juice, and a Moskito for dessert.

Pros: Delicious food, Cool atmosphere

Cons: Expensive

Delicious food, sadly not 100% vegan.

We went there after 7 pm (got the Dinner-Card) and ordered the following dishes:

- Raw vegan Lasagne (5/5) 👌🏼
- Green Power Ravioli (5/5) 👌🏼

Both orders were very special, delicious and of course vegan (marked as PB -> plant based).

We have been there in July 2019.

Pros: Special, Delicious

Cons: Restaurant is not 100% vegan, Not that cheap

Very poor management. Take the burger off the menu!

We first visited Flax and Kale for brunch at the weekend. Although slighty pretentious and overpriced for the amount of food, we thought our choices (acai nutella bowl and Mediterranean avo toast) were well thought out and enjoyable dishes.

We decided to visit here a second time for lunch. I had the tacos, which were enjoyable but again overpriced considering the simplicity of the dish (in London I have paid £5 cheaper in a similar restaurant for the same style dish).

My boyfriend ordered what was described as 'the best veggie burger'. Although a slightly unadventurous option we were expecting something original and tasty. Unfortunately this dish was extremely disappointing. The burger itself was a bland greasy mush with small pieces of vegetable in it (very much like a cheap UK fish and chip shop veggie burger). The bun, which had to be ordered as an extra was plopped on top of the stir fried vegetables which left it soaky from the steam by the time it had reached the table. The vegetables themselves were completely drenched in oil and the salad offering was disappointing too, consisting of 4 undressed lettuce leafs. The artichoke heart was OK.

Even though very hungry, he left 3/4 of the dish unable to bring himself to eat the remainder due to the amount of oil and wet bread. We politely expressed our disappointment about this dish to the waiter, who graciously said he would call the manager over to hear more about our concerns. After a short wait he instead bought us the bill. Having been offered no apology or the opportunity to give feedback, we asked for the burger to be removed from the bill. At this point the manager finally came over. He offered no apology whatsoever and didn't even ask what was wrong with the food. He simply said that because some of it was eaten we had to pay (it was literally a few bites).

Poor customer service was the last thing we expected from a restaurant that clearly takes its image so seriously. It was very surprising that they had no concern about the quality of one of their dishes.

If it wasn't bad enough that the food wasn't good and that they wouldn't remove it from the bill, it was more astonishing that they did not even listen to our feedback or apologise. This has to be up there with the worst customer we have ever received.

Pros: Vegan and gluten-free options

Cons: Slightly overpriced, Management clearly take customers for granted

Definitely worth a visit

Good variety on the menu, plenty of vegan options. The food looked and tasted great. The restaurant itself is nice, spacious and bright. I had the open vegan burger, which was very tasty. Sadly, we didn’t have time for dessert.

Pros: Good food, Variety, Nice venue

Cons: Slightly confusing as to where the toilets are

If I could give it 5 stars I would!

You can only give 5 stars to veggie restaurants, but this place definitely deserved another one. I came back three times during my trip, to try all the different options. The gluten free pasta with creamy mushroom sauce was delicious, the juices were very good, the apple crumble was really nice (especially the sweet potato ice cream on top). The muffins I bought for my train ride were amazing, and the only thing I could leave off my list was the vegan cheese bagel which was pretty dry. It’s on the pricey side, but welcomes single diners without a reservation, and the atmosphere and servers were lovely.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, many gluten free, Delicious baked goods and options to go, Great juices

Cons: Can get pricey, Not exclusively veggie

Great for Instagram pics

Went here for brunch over the weekend and sat outside in the little courtyard area across from the restaurant since it was busy inside. Our waitress did not have the most pleasant attitude and was annoyed when we asked to be moved inside because of strong winds. Despite her attitude, the service was good and the food came fast. I tried the Acaítella bowl which was presented beautifully with fruit on the bottom and toppings on top. I was intrigued by the turmeric glaze that came on top and liked how it was hardened to the acaí. At first it appeared like a small portion size for the price but it kept me full all day. My friends order avocado toast and the healthy pancakes (vegetarian) and enjoyed their meals as well. I appreciated how the menu was clearly labeled and was written in Castellano, Catalan, and English.

INCREDIBLE

Honestly I was amazed by the variety, health, taste and seating area of this gorgeous place. It was so relaxing and beautiful. We sat outside up on their roof terrace and had a lovely lunch. Staff are amazing and plant based options are clearly stated on the menu. Will be going back tomorrow! Would give it 5 stars but cannot as it isn’t vegan only.

Pros: Lots of amazing plant based options , Amazing variety on the menu, Insane tasing vegan food!

Cons: Absolutely 0!

Lots of options, some far better than others

The cappuccino was horrible as was the “bacon and cheddar” bagel (which comes with mashed tomatoes as well). The bowls are great though, and the atmosphere is nice. There is rooftop patio that you have to specifically request. The juice is hood but is served in plastic bottles! Single use. Super wasteful and less fresh.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Nice ambience, Bowls are tasty

Cons: Excessive single use plastic, Terrible espresso
