Great Food And Value - Edit
A Barcelona institution, I hadn't been back for years and was worried that it might have changed. However, a delicious 3 course meal for less than 10 euros convinced me that it hadn't. Has an artichoke soup, followed by an amaxing thali and a catalan dessert with caramel topping. Highly recommended. All served by a very friendly waitress.

AWESOME - Edit
I just loved it. I went there to a sunday brunch and I was amazed by the quality of the food. The brunch consisted of cashew yogurt, fruit, grains, tofu, bread and pancakes. It's a LOT of great food. I left the place full as hell. And it was very cheap, about 8 euros or something. The staff is also very friendly.

fresh & colourful - Edit
Lovely vibrant space with a vast menu of fresh juices and smoothies - and the option to create your own, which I did with a 3 mix fresh juice.
Read moreThe menu was fairly diverse, and all sounded delish. We each had one of the burgers, served with wedges - both were great. My kids ate really nice hummus (very garlicky but that's how we like it!) a simple but yummy avocado & salad sandwich as well as an Indian style Thali del dia, which was fantastic.
Highly recommended.
Pros: bright, cheery space, fresh, diverse food., English speaking staff

This was probably my favorite place in Barcelona. The menu del dia is a great deal. The food ranged from excellent (risotto) to mediocre (thali) and the atmosphere and service were great!

delicious and inexpensive - Edit
The meal of the day is 8.50E and includes three courses and bread. The salad, gazpacho, seitan steak and the crime Catalan were all lovely. Service is friendly, the menu is in English And Spanish and all the staff speak English. The range if juices offered is very extensive and the a la carte menu makes us want to return.

we did return, with some friends, on the very next day (Sunday lunchtime). It was quite embarrassing. The waitress wasn't friendly at all, quite the opposite, and the service level was totally different from the day before. Our friends were a bit surprised that we'd said so many good thing about the place but maybe she was just having a bad day.
Pros: all vegan, central and friendly (the men are), delicious
Cons: the waitress is unfriendly and rude, variable service levels.

Great restaurant/cafe - Edit
We went to this restaurant twice on our last visit to Barcelona in July. I totally recommend it!
Read moreThe food and juice are amazing. On our first visit we tried the 3 course meal, a bargain at only 9 euros I think I recall. I had strawberry & avocado soup - yum! My partner had houmous, again yum and then we had thalis for our mains...well it was delicious but I had no hope of finishing mine and we couldn't face desert which was included! We tried the orange & kiwi juice and I can't remember what else but again they were gorgeous.
The second visit we just had main courses & shared the houmous for a starter, a far more sensible option for a normal appetite! My partner had another thali (of the day) and I had the noodle salad. Again YUM and the different juices too.
We will be back!
Pros: a massive selection of yummy food, a massive selection of juices & tea, generous portions & cheap & healthy
Cons: not many gluten free deserts if any

probably one of the best vegan places in europe - Edit
we been two times to this place and definitely recommend, its all five stars, the location (impossible to get more central than this), the friendly waiters, the food (amazing! the humous, the mushroom croquetas, lasanha, etc), the place and decoration (funky, colourful and original), the price and everything really.. even the customers seem to have a nice vibe. u can feel its not mainstream or trendy, it is simply a place with values and with good heart. it seems to be a popular place so if u want to make sure u get a table just try to get there early or call to book if possible. enjoy!

Juicy Jones, Barcelona, SPAIN - Edit
We ate twice at Juicy Jones when we visited Barcelona this month; their food was SO good, and so beautifully presented, that we had to go back. For 8.50 Euros you can get: a starter, a segundo, a dessert, and wine or bottled water, all accompanied by delicious, fresh wholegrain bread. The atmosphere is joyous, colorful walls entice you to come in and enjoy. Our hummus plate held an enormous serving, big enough for two hearty appetites; our creative seitan entrees compared with much more expensive presentations in other restaurants. They seem to change their menu daily, which was a delightful surprise. Our waitress was at least bilingual, attentive in a laid-back Spanish way. I would highly recommend Juicy Jones to anyone, vegan or not!

Delicious but.... - Edit
Ok, always start with the good things: It is a small young and fresh eatery on a side road besides the Rambla; so very central.
Read moreYou will get delicious food (we had the hummus and rye-bread) and awesome smoothies! Really, i've never had such a good one in europe before! Also the range of meals and smoothies is huge!
And for that what you are paying for, i'd say the prices are absolutely inexpensive! Great!
And now, you can read it in some previous reviews, the not so stunning things: First of all, all the employees are were not friendly at all (that's what we experienced). I would say this kind of attitude damped the mood.
And in my opinion an absolutely no-go was, that i ordered a smoothie (one again it was very yummy) and the waitress had let me wait for a while, BECAUSE SHE MADE A SMOOTHIE FOR A OTHER WAITRESS FIRST PRIOR TO MINE! From a customer's point of view you can't do that.
DON'T GET ME WRONG: I would have given 5 cows out of 5 due to the very delicious tastings, but the not so friendly attitude of the clerks and the matter that i came second after the collegue...made me occasioned to give only 3 cows.
Pros: Very delicious, Great offer, Inexpensive
Cons: Not that friendly

Hmmm... - Edit
I really don't know what to make of this place.
Read morePositives: awesome place with amazing funky murals on the walls. SO MANY JUICES/SMOOTHIES, I have never seen so much choice! The hummus was absolutely delicious -- I always thought hummus was pretty much the same everywhere, but this was magical hummus. So good! My partner had one of their sandwiches which was HUGE and he was extremely happy with it. I had the seitan pinxos (skewers), and loved those too, lovely sauce, beautifully cooked, good portion size. The staff were very pleasant and attentive but not too attentive. Prices were decent for the starters and mains, all of which were pretty massive. Yay!
OK, negatives: the place was FREEZING COLD for some reason. It's kind of underground, don't know if that's why? The puddings are utterly mediocre - no other word for it. We all ordered different ones and no one finished theirs because they were just not pleasant. The apple tart sounds delicious but is actually cold, slimy and pretty awful. Sorry Juicy! Has to be a middling three cows from me :(
UPDATED from previous review on Saturday July 21, 2012
OK, I went back to Juicy Jones this week, ONE year on, and I've decided what I think of it now... and it's not good :( This time my bloke and I went in to have breakfast -- we were really excited as we don't know of any other vegan/veggie places in Barcelona that have a breakfast menu. Breakfast starts at 10am, we got there at around 10.45am and the girl at the counter told us, "I don't have muffins, I don't have gofres, I don't have toastadas." That is THE WHOLE BREAKFAST MENU. She wasn't apologetic at all, just gave us the lunch menu to look at instead. She also told us we couldn't take a seat to discuss/think about it/look at the menu because "you have to order and pay first." Needless to say, we left. Sorry JJ, there are just too many other good vegan places in Barcelona. Downgraded to two cows :(
Pros: Big portions, Loads of choice, Magical hummus
Cons: So cold inside!, The puddings made us sad, Rude service/no breakfast 2nd time round

ok meal for that price - Edit

Not more than ok - Edit
Went to Juice Jones Cardenal two times in my visit to Barcelone. The first time I only ate a sandwich and the other time the burger from their 3 dish menu.
Read moreThe sandwich was great, though a bit small. The burger was not the best I've ever had. Their milkshake felt artificial and did only taste sweetening. The staff didn't feel very welcoming but they spoke english, that is good.
It filled the stomach, but I gut hungry kind of fast again.
Pros: Nice decorating, Ok food, Good prices
Cons: Small portions, To "healthy", -

Epic Smoothies - Edit
I visited Juicy Jones about 3 times whilst in Barcia. It was easy to find, just off Rambles and the smoothes there were hard to resist. I'd recommend the choc/banana one, extremely chocolate and just plain YUM. I loved the hippie mural on the wall, and there was a good area of seating out the back.
Read moreDesserts I had there was a yummy apple cake and some cookies with a type of berry dipping sauce. Anything Vegan I am stoked with generally so I'm probably not the best critic, but they were very yummy and the cake was especially moist and delectable.
The only issue I have with Juicy Jones is when it's busy I found the people working were hard to get attention from, and I had to stand of seat around the counter for quite a few minutes before I was acknowledged.
Also, being an Aussie, the menu was slightly hard to understand as it was mainly Spanish, or the meals had names I didn't recognise.
Pros: large range of Juices/Smoothies, Fantastic desserts
Cons: Staff weren't overly helpful

Amazing breakfast - Edit
you can order brunch for 6.50, and you get to try pretty much everything on their breakfast menu, and it's enough food for two people. Also probably the only vegan breakfast in barcelona
