Convenient dining - Edit
This is a self service cafeteria. It offers a wide choice of food. You can put together a very decent dinner here. The setting is utilitarian, and the sparsely populated place looks lonely, but the food is fine and the prices reasonable. We would go there again if we are in the neighborhood.

Tray'n'Pay - Edit
This is what veggie places used to be like 10 years ago when I first started out on my animal free culinary adventures. If you found a place like this you'd be so happy. Now, things are so different. It's just a typical self-service diner laid out like a works canteen where you pick your food up, put it on a tray and eat it surrounded by other people doing the same. Fair play, it's vegetarian but there's nothing ground breaking here. In Barcelona now we have the emerging uber talents of Rasoterra and Zataar as well as the impressive Teresa Carles and the firmly established L'Hortet, Biocenter and Organic. I'm afraid one visit here was enough but at least it was busy, fairly priced and functional.
Read morePros: location, lots of seating
Cons: mass produced food, no imagination

Not interesting or comfortable - Edit
This restaurant really is like a school canteen with plastic tables and fixed plastic chairs. Absolutely NO atmosphere. Most of the food is already plated up at the counter. If you want it heated, you have to do it yourself in a microwave round the corner! The plated food seemed to be just plates of vegetables. For example my plate was: pile of peas, a fried egg, large mushroom, slice of polenta, pile of plain rice, aubergine slices in a batter. My husband had piles of boiled vegetables. The smoothies were good and dessert was OK. Although we went in a a Saturday evening, it was very quiet. Half way through the meal the lady cleaning the toilets came through the restaurant with her bucket and mop! The website looks very good but it does not match up with the experience. The web site says " A unique experience in vegetarian food". I would agree. I have been a vegetarian for 40 years and I have to say that it ranks as one of the worst vegetarian eating places that I have come across. It is cheap, but I would not recommend it, unless you are in Barcelona on a budget.

Cons: Is, in fact, a canteen, no effort at doing stylish meals, Website gives wrong impression

Disgusted - Edit
The food looked good - pakora, red pepper tomato. I should have realised it would not microwave well. I was very hungry and ate half. The felt disgusted all day. The atmosphere was not great. But hey I could put up with that if the food ad been edible.
Read moreI strongly recommend this place for people with no taste buds who don't care about the mouth feel of their food.
I would give this one cow's head if that option was available
Pros: Central, There are good restaurants nearby
Cons: Disgusting food, Microwaved, Yuk!!!

Awful - Edit
the worst vegetarian place you could ever try in Barcelona, scary and not even cheap !!! rotten veggies (especially mushroms), cheap mashed potatoes stuffings, dehidrated soy crumbs (aka fake ground meat) used in many tastless dishes. Unapealing salats, most of items are boiled instead of fresh 'n raw, (=from preserves?) Dishes that seem to have laid there all week,they are either made out of boiled tastles veggies, or fried greasy ones; poor deserts (overly sugary) Cheap oil dressings in big oilcans, poor dressings in general.
Read moreCold atmosphere, resembles a factory's canteen. won't even give you some extra napkins without giving you a dirty look. A microwave is there to re-heat your luke warm plates...wonder what a micro does in this self-named "natural self-service"----yeap ! Plus many plates that can seen there are not elegible in the menu (!!!)In which case it will raise the price a lot.It is central, a pitty, many going by people fall into the trap !
Pros: central, if you are really desperate..., none
Cons: tasting awful, poor quality/price relation, cold athmosphere

not recommended - Edit
I ate here on my last day because I wanted to try something cheaper than the Organic Orgasmic restaurant. It was slightly cheaper but all the good-looking dishes were not eligible in the menu (which I had ordered) which disappointed me. also the quality of the food was not really good. one dish i ate not even half of it. it wasn't even really hot. if you need to eat cheap go to maoz which is not far away. if you have money and want to it proper go to organis is orgasmic, you won't regret it.

Self Naturista, Barcelona - Edit
I didn't like this place very much at all. The vegan choices are extremely limited to say the least. Food that is heated by microwave doesn't appeal to me either. When there are so many vegetarian restaurants in Barcelona that I like I won't be eating in this place again.
Read morePros: None
Cons: Poor vegan choice, microwave heated
