Rasoterra

Over the time this place has become one of my favorites spots in Barcelona. I'd say it's currently in my top 3.

Impressive and creative vegan cuisine with and amazing service. No more words.

Make a reservation if you want to eat here, sometimes it's really packed.

Very nice Restaurant. 2/3 vegan options. Diverse seasonal and regional menu! Huge selection of wines. The Sangria is god-tier. Dont miss it.

Great, seasonal menu. Inventive twists on local dishes that usually contain meat or fish. Lovely staff, great wine selection.

I think it is a very nice place and it is quite expensive for what I was having high expectations on the food. However I didnt like anything I order except for the spinach croquetas. The taste was just not pleasing in general. Plus the dosis are really small and not filling. :(

The food was really nice, I had the dumplings and the Banh-chi which were both delicious and would definitely have again. Worth booking because it can get quite busy.

The interior is modernly furnished and very aesthetically. The food was all delicious and great quality for money. For lunch you can get a starter, main and dessert for €13. The majority of items are vegan or can be made vegan. You should probably make a reservation in advance though.

This place makes tasty meatless adaptations of Catalan, Spanish and even Mexican (their huitlacoche tacos are outstanding) dishes. There are no fake meats or over spiced dishes, just fresh ingredients, tasty food and a welcoming environment. The baked mushrooms was my favorite dish, and a no brainer if you like mushrooms. Nice wine selection and friendly service.

This restaurant puts pride into their menu and food. Service was great. Food was unique and well seasoned. There were many vegan and gluten-free options as well. I would definitely come back.

Unlike many of the other reviewers, I wasn't bowled over by the vegan choices. There were three vegan tapas options, and only one vegan wine available by the glass. We had the tomato bread, vegetable and tofu gyoza and the patatas bravas. The potatoes were unlike others that we had in Spain: more like mini baked potatoes. I loved them! The other dishes were nice, but not spectacular. I wouldn't hurry back here.

Great place with really tasty wholesome food. Kids enjoyed it too.

Rasoterra specialises in slow food. It is vegetarian with many vegan options. We ate tapas style, tasting a variety of dishes full of flavour and presented beautifully.
They have many organic and vegan wines and lots of cocktails.
It's a shame we only found this on our last night in Barcelona, otherwise we would have gone back.

This place it's awesome. As a vegan yolu have half or more of the options. The vegan options are the best. We had the roasted mushrooms (JUST WOW), the kale and mashed potatoes, cabbage, and lentils....
Was just indescribable mix of ingredients and textures.
We went 3 times in less than 2 weeks after tryin it for the first time. (4 times in 2 weeks)
Super recommended. The staff great !
Thanks a lot for this place!
PD: I think they change the menu every week/month so i need to go and check whats new :D

Delicious food beautifully presented. Not cheap but the final bill wasn't as much as I thought it would be. We had a couple of tapas, then for mains rice pancakes, bean soup and mushrooms with dumplings, all good. I should point out though that if you're at all fussy do ask about ingredients as they're not all on the menu - my mushrooms were oyster not chestnut as on the menu, and the beetroot wasn't listed - neither a problem for me, but my daughter was less pleased to find courgette in her pancake. For dessert we had chocolate cake - amazing apparently - strawberries, and blue cheese brulee (who would dream up such a thing? lovely though!) They also have a good selection of cocktails, of which we felt obliged to test the margaritas.

The food was excellent and the staff were super nice! Says what's vegan and what's not on the menu. The gyoza was delicious!

Best restaurant ever ! Beautiful food , great atmosphere and amazing music . They also offer a good selection of vegan wines ! The staff was very attentive and nice. Cannot wait to go back!

Organic and Km 0 products, lots of attention on the ingredients and great vegan options, we also had a really nice natural white wine.

For me, this is now the vegetarian / vegan pace-setter in Barcelona. Absolutely gorgeous establishment serving tapas and main courses in a splendidly modernist but homely setting in a tip top part of the Barrio Gotico. Some of the tapas can be served as main courses if desired. They also do a great value 2 or 3 course lunch ranging from €8.50 to €11 including wines from the local area. The food is truly excellent and extremely well cared about. Vegans are taken very seriously here. You will find some fantastic seasonal combinations here such as roast fennel and quinoa, brussel sprouts in lime and chilli, and an endive with tempeh balls curry which all work so very well. Things change here regularly, the menu is dynamic. Rasoterra promotes the 'Slow Food' concept which puts emphasis on locally sourced ingredients and the distance traveled to reach the dining table. I absolutely love this place, an instant hit for me which doesn't happen that often. Immediate impact. Savour this beautiful place both during the day and at night.......gone are the dark days of going to vegetarian restaurants and being served slop on a metal tray! Please just ignore any negative reviews of this place. It makes me angry to think that anyone would have anything bad to say. I've visited 400+ vegetarian places across Europe over the last 16 years and this is unequivocally in my top 3 - absolutely no doubt about it. Rasoterra is vegetarian royalty. Real Madrid? (No way), Real Barcelona?, Real Rasoterra!

I adore this restaurant, I dream about returning and it is without a doubt my favourite place. The food is excellent, the lighting is perfect and they manage to combine a classy interior with a relaxed vibe which puts you at great ease. The staff are friendly and helpful and the menu which promotes slow food is always innovative and offers a good vegan choice. A must do when in Barcelona.

We tried twice to taste the food of this restaurant but each time the waitress made us wait minutes before coming to us. The first time she even shoved us while going out without any apologize or explanation as if we were invisible. When she finally noticed us, she told to come later because the restaurant was full. The second time, after a similar waiting time she told us to go to the bar were her colleague told the place was full, it was 2:30 pm no one asked if we had a reservation and I could see at least 3 empty tables.
The food might seem good but a such unfriendly and unprofessional staff definitely made us forget our desire to eat there.

Rasoterra offers a vegetarian-vegan cuisine, with LOTS of vegan choices to choose from. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff is superfriendly, speaks english very well. But the best is the food. Just awesome and creative, as organic and local as possible. No matter if you share some tapas or take a big dish - everything here is really yummy. Try the olive truffles for dessert! Highly recommended in every which way, and fairly prized, too!

I visited Rasoterra with my boyfriend and it was a perfect ending of our trip to Barcelona. It was a bit more expensive than the other places we visited, but this did not matter since the ambiance is great and they take great care in presenting you with good food. Would certainly recommend this restaurant!

The menu is a bit small but what they have available is carefully planned and more unique than many restaurants in BCN. I had the veggie gyoza and tempeh/eggplant satay. Both cooked to perfection and delicious. My friends had amazing cocktails like a Black Mojito made with licorice liquor. The atmosphere is nice and inside is stylish. Highly recommend, just be sure to make a reservation or go on the earlier side to get a table.

I've always been a bit cautious about eating tapas as a vegetarian, especially as I don't speak spanish, so an all-vegetarian tapas restaurant (although they don't just serve tapas) was just great. I've bever been to one before, and naturally they had the best vegetarian tapas I've tried, easily. Strongly recommend.

I've gone there several times, for the brunch and to do some tapas for dinner. They offer high quality local products, everything was always great.

Waiters are really kind, they try to find whatever suits your taste.

The menu isn't too big, but the dishes they offer are cooked with care. Prices aren't too low, but they are fair in the city center.

Great atmosphere, brilliant food, great staff. As a veggie it's 5 star. As a vegan it's 4.

Lovely place with a friendly welcome. I'd suggest booking at the weekend as they struggled to get us in late Friday night, but they found us space and we're glad they did. We went back a second time on our trip to Barcelona.

We opted for vegan tapas of which there is a variety and shared between us. This included tomato bread, olives, patatas bravas, mushroom and tofu gyozas, Tempeh balls in a chestnut satay sauce (I think this was our favourite) and some shitake mushrooms. All lovely and brought out in turn when they were ready. The main courses looked lovely too and there were vegan dessert options although we didn't try after filling up on tapas. The water was free, however it was tepid and the bottle it arrived in wasn't very clean. There was an English menu and English speaking staff who were friendly and attentive. It was an informal, bright and comfortable venue despite being hidden down a back alley (currently surrounded by scaffolding) and certainly seemed popular among couples and groups alike.

Our favourite in Barcelona.

Große Enttäuschung. Essen absolut langweilig. Bedienung außer einer Ausnahme, die sich bei der Annahme der Bestellung die Mühe machte, gleichgültig und offensichtlich gestresst.
Wir hatten gut im Voraus einen Tisch reserviert und sollten trotzdem einen schlechten vorgeschlagen.
Die Vorspeise war ölig, geschmacklich langweilig, trotzdem salzig... kein Appetitmacher, sondern lag sofort schwer im Magen. Leider gab es keinen einzigen Salat. Das habe ich noch nirgends erelbt. Man bot als Ersatz einen Gazpacho an... nein Danke... wir wollten ja was Knackiges.
Die Hauptgänge waren ebenfalls durchweg enttäuschend. Fast hatte man den Eindruck, hier wurde mit Fertigsoßen oder zuminde Fertiggewürzen gearbeitet. Dieses rauchige Beinote lag auf allen dunklen Soßen, auch war der Tofu rauchig. Sehr einseitg das Ganze. Sehr, sehr schade. Der größte Reinfall war das Kimchi-Gericht... es war eine Miniportion Kimchi in einem kleinen Schälchen. Ansonsteon eine Brühe mit wenig Karotten u. Brokkolischnitzern und Reis, dazu wiederum ölig, ansonsten langweilige Pilze.
Wir haben hier schnell alles hinter uns gebracht und sind 3 Stunden später in unserem Lieblingslokal eingekehrt. Das habe ich noch nie geschafft.
Wer Wert auf gesunde und einfallsreiche vegane Küche liegt, ist hier definitiv an der falschen Adresse. Hier schmeckt es Omnivores sicherlich, weil alles irgendwie verkochte und ähnlich schmeckt.
Mich erinnerte das Ambiente eher an eine italienisches Familienlokal, ganz und gar nicht urban, daran konnte auch das pseudoalternative Interieur nichts ändern. Am Nebentisch saßen Franzosen, die schon vor uns enttäuscht das Lokal verließen. Auch einmalig...

We had the most wonderful meal here. Our server was wonderful and spent time explaining the menu and making recommendations. She suggested the perfect wine to pair with our meal and guided us toward the most amazing dessert. Each dish was unique, flavorful and creative. Very impressed!

We came here expecting a grown up evening of lovely quality food and drinks, which is absolutely what we found. However, the next night, for less than half the price, we ate from a far more extensive vegan tapas menu in Pili Pile and found the quality of food there to be of an even higher standard.

Yum! This is up there with some of the best food I have ever eaten. Rasoterra have a great vegan selection and they have lots of the kinds of food that I love, like tacos and gyoza. I also had the hazelnut-stuffed artichoke which was all kinds of amazing. While it might not be the cheapest place in Barcelona to eat, it is definitely one of the most delicious and well worth a visit. I will be back!

Place, food and service are just amazing, we had a delicious dinner. A variety of vegetarian tapas: nachos, fennel & smashed potatoes, goffre with mushroom cream and an amazing Tagliatelle with artichoke and cheese.

The waitress explained every dishes when taking the order and took care of our dinner for the rest of the evening..a success!!
We will come back soon and recommend to all the vegetarians and non-vegetarians looking for a good place ;)

We ate here two nights on a recent trip to Barcelona. The food and service were top-notch. We loved the pumpkin and fennel soups as well as an entree which was like nachos, but they had another name for it. I am not recalling all the food ordered, but we enjoyed all of it. The first night it was us and two friends; the second it was us and four others. Even though no one but me is vegetarian, everyone was thoroughly impressed. All the staff was lovely. Our favorite was a wonderful young man from Lithuania. He really made both meals a joy. I would highly recommend Rasoterra to anyone visiting Barcelona. I have to say that it is one of the few restaurants in Barcelona that was truly welcoming and warm. We found many restaurants had a lax and/or unfriendly attitude, but this one was exemplary.

This is definitely a place to visit for a quiet meal with your partner but perhaps is a little overpriced for the somewhat small portions of food received. Otherwise, the service was fine and the food was certainly perfectly fine, but I'm not sure there is enough to differentiate this restaurant from the many other options in Barcelona.

First the restaurant looked really nice and stylish, but the staff is really arrogant and the whole thing is quite stuffy.
We were a group of 11 people and one of us came later than the reservation time. The staff simply ignored him and he didn't even get a menu or something to drink! This is an absolutely no go!

The dishes are overpriced and I had bad luck with my soup, which was sour and almost uneatable.

This restaurant is very cozy - my husband and I had the entire place to ourselves at 4pm. Only thing is, which has been said, is the service. We sat ourselves and weren't given menus to begin (had to up and get them) and weren't given a check until we asked. They seem a bit too laid back. I am vegan and found a few tapas-style dishes to eat. Though cute and comfortable, the menu could have had a few more things, especially for vegans in a vegetarian restaurant. The portions are small but delicious and are extremely presentable to the eyes. One more thing - this is more of a wine bar than anything else! Escape from the busyness of Barcelona and drink a black mojito with a snack.

They have definitely got a chic vibe and an inviting dining room, and some pretty good food. But the staff was kind of cold, and seemed quite impatient when we stumbled with our Spanish. Good for a light lunch or sharing tapas with lots of friends, but I didn't feel like hanging out after we got the check. Nice location in the Gothic quarter: lots of shops and boutiques nearby!

This restaurant could be great. The location is central, the decor is clean and modern. The food was good, full of flavour. We ordered from the tapas menu- olives, tomato bread, tempeh balls, tofu dumplings and potato bravas, all of which we really enjoyed.
My only complaint is about the service. We walked in and no one acknowledged us as we stood there for several minutes, so we just seated ourselves. We then waited 5 minutes for them to bring the menu. We didn't have to wait long for our food, so that was fine, but we waited for about 15 mins after we'd finished eating, then I had to ask for the desert menu, waited another 5 minutes, and we just decided to pay and leave as we were bored of waiting. And it wasn't busy at the time, only 4 other tables in service.
It's a shame when a nice restaurant with good food is let down by non attentive service. Probably wouldn't go again unless there were no other options.

the concept of this restaurant is to provide food from local area so to reduce the impact of carriage and be enviroment friendly. The place is located in the center of the gotic quarter and offers very interesting organic wines. The food tastes autentic but some of the dishes like tempeh was not very attractive.

Fantastic tapas dishes, especially the "Chilaquiles of white corn tortillas, frijoles, manchego cheese and green tomato sauce", and cocktails. Friendly and helpful service. Would definitely recommend this place to vegetarians in Barcelona (and non-vegetarians). We came here for lunch and enjoyed it so much we returned later in our holiday for dinner. My little brother, who refused to eat vegetarian or tapas and practically lives on pizza actually quite enjoyed the different dishes he tried! My only complaint is that you can only order juices at brunch, and so there was not a lot of choice for my non-alcohol drinking husband in the evening.

This is a very nice little place that serves wonderful tapas. One of the better restaurants I went to in Barcelona, I enjoyed the tapas, and everything vegan was clearly labelled. Interesting selections, and a nice change from the ordinary here. A little bit on the pricey side. Great atmosphere and very stylish decor.

Not the best food ever, but the paella was very good and with a flawless presentation. It could have more spices, but overall it was nice. I also had some guiozas that were delicious.
The place is lovely and the staff was very friendly.

Fantastic restaurant with great vegan options. Amazing daily lunch menue and very friendly and nice staff.

We went there on March 2014, the restaurant is very nice, waiter and waitress too. The waitress made effort to speak French and talked to us about wine.
The menu is original, and the food very good.
The vegan chocolate desert was excelent.
We recommend it and will come back.

I went on April 2014. Staff spoke French and English and took time to explain us the recipes. The food was excellent and very creative. I'd like to spend more time to taste all the dishes. This is tapas, so you order different dishes and share them with your friends. They proposed a choice of great wine to accompany. It's located in a small path reachable only by walk or bicycle. I greatly recommend it.

- Affordable daily menu.
- Local produce with high quality.
- Relatively small portions.
- Nice atmosphere.
- Quick service.

Some of the best veg food I have ever had. We had four tapas - all subtle and intense. Stuffed artichokes with a lovely sauce, herb potatoes (bravas) with aioli and tomato sauce, grilled and caramelized tempeh with raw veg, and a goat cheese with honey and hazelnuts. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful - they knew which cheese was made with microbial enzymes and recommended a delicious fermented elderberry drink. For dessert we had four varieties of truffles - heavenly. The space was light and comfortable and the service wasn't at all slow. This is near Vegetalia and much much better.

We arrived early for our reservation, and asked if we could sit early. We were told yes. After we sat, we were essentially ignored for 20 minutes, except to be told they couldn't get to us, as they were expecting us later. We were never given a menu (another patron did), nor were we told the specials of the day (my wife had to get up and get the chalk board on which they were written). Our waitress was indifferent and neglectful. The food was luke warm, which isn't surprising as the service is so poor and slow. The food Iacked flavor, and my wife could not finish her main plate. I have never had such bad service at any veg restaurant, and I do not recall being as disappointed with the food at a place with decent reviews. I would never return.

Rasoterra is a restaurant that focuses on slow-food and the innovation in their recipes. With multiple vegan options, but what surprised me is the purity of the bold flavors and combination of ingredients. My favorite dishes are always the Vietnamese crepe, "patatas bravas" (homemade and very tasty) and their gyozas (with sweet and intense flavor). They change the menu frequently, so you can visit it repeatedly and always surprises you. Claimants of the healthy and tasty food, generate a pleasant climate with a very attentive service and close. Their midday menu is a bit criticized for some vegetarians, but I can only say that their evening menu is excellent!

This small and beautiful restaurant was not lacking in patrons, but it was a bit hard to find some place to sit! The food was excellent, though portions were very small and the service was very slow.

We were early and had the place to ourselves. Only tapas at that time, but all vegetarian so plenty of choices and very suitable for our three kids also.
The space is modern and roomy with cushions on bench seating around the wall.
The menu was modern, fresh and interesting. Gyozas were lovely, eggs in potato strip nests, interesting and a cannelloni made with besan flour, not wheat was a delicious surprise.
English speaking was no trouble and it was a friendly place to go.

Although a little tucked back into the Barrio Gotica, this place was well worth the search! They use thir own produce that is organically grown. The menu changes several times a week as to whats being harvested. Cant rate this place high enough. Great, friendly staff, cute decor. A little well lit for my tastes, but the food and staff were exceptional.

Atmosphere was nice and the staff really friendly. Everything on the menu sounded really good, but food disappointed a bit when it arrived. Still above average but I think we were hoping for more. This could just be a reflection of their vegan dishes and not the whole menu. Also they served cheese On a dish we ordered which was labelled vegan (not vegan option). They were nice about replacing it.

I live in Barcelona so have been to every veg restaurant in the city. Most are so bad, sometimes I have to walk out. But some good news...

Rasoterra is hands-down the BEST. Spacious, chilled-out dining area, very creative menu (extremely rare in Spain), really great beer and wine list, super fresh food. Ordered 4 dishes, all were amazing. Service was incredible (again, extremely rare in Spain), and the prices are fantastic. 5 stars, going back next weekend.

Rasoterra was empty when we arrived but soon filled up with other customers. Enjoyed a combination of breakfast and lunch with toast, tahini and honey to start, toast with melted gorgonzola and pears for my husband. For Mains we enjoyed veggie burger and potatoes and cheese and pear pasta. Water was included and organic bread although we didn't receive this, possibly due to having toast. It was all very tasty although salad would perhaps have been appreciated with the pasta.

Rasoterra is a MUST if you live in Barcelona or if you're just visiting. The quality of the food is amazing and the place is really cozy but chic. I highly recommend to come to this place. Service friendly and super profesional. I loved it.
