Outstanding range of options. I could eat here all day, every day. A bit pricey, but worth it. Had the new savory pancakes, and also the hemp super-food protein ball. Both excellent.

Pros: Great variety, including raw

Cons: Expensive

Good food but nothing extraordinary. Desserts highly recommended though.

Like the title says, the food is good but nothing extraordinary in comparison with other restaurants I've been to. They offer a lot of vegan options, surely something for everyone. The portions are generally pretty small though and the pricing is above average, so be prepared to spend around 20-30€. Their dessert menu is currently completely vegan and you will probably also have a difficult time choosing just one of their mouthwatering options. Therefore, the small portion size might not be such a bad thing after all... Be sure to try their cold pressed juices as well!

Pros: Several vegan options, vegan desserts, Amazing cold pressed juices, Friendly service

Cons: Small portions, A tad overpriced , Oftentimes slow service

yummo

Really delicious. I had the green power ravioli with vegan cheese and it was sublime. And for a drink I had the pink panther smoothie which was a spectacular sight to see and deeelicious. The portion size of the ravioli was a little less than I expected considering how pricey it was. The atmosphere is a tiny bit pretentious as well. If you got you'll see what I mean- the smoothies are worth it.

best restaurant I have ever been to!

The food was amazing! I had the ravioli and my friend too. It tasted so good! As desert we had the grilled carrot cake, which was good and the chocolate cake which was so awesome ? the waiter was nice! The offer creative and tasteful food. The only downside is that they offer a lot of fish too.

A lot of fish

Cool and new stylish restaurant but very big. Misses a bit of cosiness because of that. Portions aren't always big enough and it is rather pricey. Most main courses have fish in them.
The food was really good, but not excellent. The shake on the other hand was remarkable!
A good experience, but expensive and not outstanding. I would rather try an other place than to go again.

Pros: Great shakes, A lot of choise

Cons: Most main course have fish, Big restaurant, Expensive

amazing

This is just the cutest place ever. The food is delicious and healthy, you can watch how they make their food and even see a little bit of the juicería and it also has the nicest little rooftop area ❤️

Pros: flavor, health, flair

Exquisite experience

With so many vegan and vegetarian outlets in Barcelona, the thought of going to just a veg-friendly restaurant was not high on the agenda but I am so glad we did, as this was definitely some of the best food we experienced during our recent stay. When we arrived the place was packed but we managed to get seated after a short wait and decided to order the no digas tacos and healthy mezze platter to share with a frappemocha and vegan vampire juice. The healthy mezze platter was simply delicious with a tasty assortment of different crackers and hummus dips and healthy salad, whilst the no digas tacos were divine and full of flavour. Probably the best tacos I have eaten. The vegan vampire was also refreshing and the frappemocha was outstanding and the best I have ever had. Prices are a little expensive but well worth it in my opinion.

Pros: Excellent vegan food, Excellent staff and service

Cons: 'Ditch the fish dishes', Advisable to reserve

Amazing food !

This place has such amazing food , every time I come I get the avocado toast and share it with my friends then followed by the other plant based options they have here . Every time I come here I try something different and I am never disappointed ! With the food being great I will warn that the service sometimes can be really bad

Pros: great food

Cons: options can be expensive , bad service

amazing vegan options

This restaurant is not vegan, but it provides amazing vegan options. It is my favorite place to go in Barcelona. The restaurant itself is so beautiful, I was amazed when i went there for the first time. Definitely it is the best place for me as a vegan to eat in Barcelona, will always come back!

Amazing food!

Don't be put off that is not a vegetarian or vegan place as the vegan food is absolutely delicious! We had breakfast here and loved it so much we went back for lunch on the same day. Only wish we had found it before our last day in Barcelona as would have loved to try all of the vegan options! The smoothies/juices are soo good too. The prices are a little higher than some restaurants but well worth the money.

Pros: Vegan choices, Excellent service

Cons: The only con is that it's not in England!

superb dining experience

We went there several times. Also at different times of the day or evening and we were always delighted with the variety of foods available, with the creative way of combining foods, with the attention to presentation, with the dining atmosphere.... whether in the terraced garden upstairs, the spacious downstairs, or the outside dining area.... all enjoyable. Staff was always friendly and attentive, but not overly in your face kind of way. We enjoyed this eating experience immensely. Recommend it highly. Not just a veggie eating place, a delightful vegetarian restaraunt.

Tasty & Beautiful

We had The best avocado toast ever! Lots of fresh juices, smoothies, acai bowl etc. The place has a great interior, the service was nice and a perfect place to have a vegan/ vegetarian breakfast before heading out for a long day in Barcelona. The location is great! We will come back for sure next time in Bcn.

Pros: Tasty & fresh, Creative, Location

Loved this place to eat some breakfast

I actually did not have a very good idea of this place, as it seems too "mainstream" (even though I do not consider myself as hipster at all, just to make clear :P). However, I was pleasantly surprised, as I stayed at the terrace, staff very nice, the vegan muffin delicious!!
I will be back, however I still think that the juices are wayyy too expensive. Got some ideas to make myself at home though hehe

Pros: Location, Staff, Food

Cons: Prices

Good food, Bad service

I came here twice on my trip to Barcelona and both times was give horrible service. The first time, the server walked by our table for a good 10 minutes saying he was going to get the person over our section until ultimately he ended up having to take our table. The food was really tasty and their presentations are beautiful. But the bad service really takes away from the whole experience

Up Market Juice Bar & Food

Instantly recognised this as part of the Teresa Carles brand. The wonderful TC restaurant is only a few blocks away. This is a bit classier and traditional serving mainly a huge range über healthy juices such as the Vegan Vampire! What a great name. They also serve well presented and fresh vegan and vegetarian food. As far as I can see this place appears to be totally meat free with the exception of some fish dishes. Apparently it is a place for the flexitarian diet, people who are essentially vegetarian but eat a little fish or chicken now and again. Strange but true! We had a light brunch consisting of seriously the most amazing avocado on toast and coconut mushrooms on toast ever. Inside it kind of reminds me a little of the Betty's Tea Rooms chain in the UK just to give you an idea, but so much better!!

Pros: amazing juices, gorgeous interior, cool atmosphere

Cons: some fish served

don't miss this if You're in Barcelona

Unfortunately it's not 100% vegan, but they do have several vegan options. The food is so good, and the place is really nice. You can get very healthy options, and really good slow juice.
I went here for breakfast everyday when I was in Barcelona

great for everyone

Really yummy food, with a wide variety of healthy, interesting, well presented dishes for herbivores and carnivores alike! Big restaurant with a nice, open, relaxed vibe reflecting the flexitarian views. I'm a veggie and will always favour and support vegetarian and vegan restaurants first but sometimes flexitarian restaurants like these are a really great spot when dining with non-veg friends and for slowly introducing the veg lifestyle to skeptics! :)

Amazing bread

As this place looked quite upmarket werent planning to visit it. However as it was a bank holiday and everywhere else we had planned to eat at was closed we figured we'd give it a try. This place does have expensive meals, but there are also more affordable options. I ordered an Avocado on toast and a cafe con leche with almond milk and it all came to €6.95. The toast was amazing. Its been hours since we ate and im still thinking about the crust. This place does serve fish but the menu makes it really clear which meals are plant based and which arent.

Pros: BREAD

Cons: i would prefer it were full veggie/vegan

Really interesting innovative food!

Took my parents here after having visited TC with friends, and was really impressed! Despite. Serving fish (unlike TC which is veggie) there actually seems to be more vegan options here, and everything was really tasty, full of flavour, and exceptionally well presented. Very hip and trendy, and prices higher than other places in BCN but I think worth it especially for a treat.

It's a good option if you are with omni friends but want lots of vegan options.

Pros: innovative, raw food options, the amazing desserts!

Cons: Serves fish (though good if with a mixed group)

Worth a visit

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.

Pros: Excellent food, Great atmosphere and decor

Terrible experience...

We've had a lunch in this restaurant which seems to be all about business/quantity rather than quality. The dishes were tasteless, we couldn't even finish them...
Upon leaving, we stayed for a while watching how their juices are made and got a real shock. Nothing there is really fresh, they have pre-prepared juices and purées and mix it all up and claim it to be super healthy - it's not even organic! There's one good thing I took out of this restaurant - I won't buy bottled ''whatever'' any more. In London there are some decent companies making real juices and smoothies, but this place is a disgrace.

Cons: Expensive, Low quality, Not fresh

Incredibly Tasteless & Disappointing

What a waste of a brunch this was; incredibly disappointing.

We were met with a hostile hostess at the opening. Each interaction with her was incredibly unpleasant and set up the meal very poorly.

The Amazon smoothie bowl tasted good but was far too sweet to finish.

The "Benedict" was served on inedible bread that was definitely not English muffins and there was raw spinach that gave the entire dish a metallic taste and created a displeasing texture. The "Hollandaise" lacked any taste whatsoever.

The decor is a straight up rip off of every new California restaurant - that means it was beautiful. However it did not make up for the rest of the issues with this place.

Pros: decor

Cons: horrible and rude service, tasteless food, menu promises items it doesn't deliver
