Just ... No - Edit
Where to begin... The staff is not friendly, hardly a smile. The food tastes salty, which hints at premade food. The lasanyuki was good. Everything in the paella tasted the same, a mushroom, a carrot, a piece of artichoke, ... it all tasted the same.
Read moreThe main dishes aren't filling enough either.
The desserts tasted like they came from a shop. The white chocolate cake was cold like it was defrosted, while even the chocolate mousse from the two textured chocolate cake was dry.
The sangria was affordable, so we ordered a pitcher, but my stomach began to hurt. I don't know if it was the sangria or the food.
We left with a huge gap in our wallet and severely disappointed.

Great paella - Edit
Since I was visiting Spain, I really wanted to try paella. This restaurant did not disappoint! The vegan calamari was really good and the rice was flavourful. The dish had a nice smokey taste, and I also enjoyed my croquetas.

Good and very quick - Edit
I was quite skeptical after reading some of the reviews, but being nearby and in a hurry I decided to give it a try. The place has more of a restaurant vibe, but it was faster than most fast foods - i only waited about 5 minutes for my paella. The paella itself was actually very tasty, nothing extraordinary, but I really enjoyed it.

Wouldn't recommend - Edit
I found my experience here quite disappointing overall. On our first visit, we were hoping to order the ravioli from the daily menu for dinner. When we asked about it, the waitress was surprisingly rude and dismissive, which put us off enough to leave.
Read moreI decided to give the place another try. This time, I ordered the Catalan cream, but it arrived without the signature burnt sugar topping, just a bowl of chia pudding, which wasn’t what I was expecting. The waiter was kind and offered me a different dessert. I asked for his recommendation, and he brought out a slice of brioche topped with custard. Unfortunately, the brioche was very soggy - unsurprising given the ingredients - and I didn’t enjoy it.
In the end, for that dessert and a glass of water, the total was €7.90. Considering the underwhelming food and inconsistent service, I can’t say I’d return.

War in Ordnung - Edit
Personal war freundlich, hat nachgefragt und auf Allergien hingewiesen. Essen war in Ordnung. Ich hatte die Paella. War jetzt nicht die beste Paella. Würde beim nächsten Mal was anderes bestellen.

Molt recomanable - Edit
Experiència molt positiva. Cambrer amable i atent. Vam sopar braves de la TC i jerusalem hummus per picar i cadascuna un plat: canelo xxl i filet mignon, per postres cheese cake i crema catalana. Tot el menjar de bona qualitat i boníssim. A destacar incloure remolatxa i pastanaga a les braves, els plats principals (deliciosos) i la crema catalana. La TC és tot un plaer per als sentits. Recomano demanar allò diferent i especial perquè sorprèn molt gratament.
Read moreAl 2022 vaig escriure: N'havia sentit molt a parlar amb opinions bones i no tan bones. En el meu cas, l'experiència va ser positiva. El local està ben situat i és molt agradable. L'atenció i el menjar va ser molt correcte, tot i que és cert que és car pel tipus de menjar que és i el personal podria ser un xic més proper.

Very tasty - Edit
I tried a lasagna, bombas and a crepe. The bombas were a little disappointing, I was expecting something inside of it as other bombas I have tried. The crepe was very tasty, the cream was excellent. The lasagna was the best one, a very nice flavor and a good amount of. The dessert I ordered was the Torrija de Crema Catalana. To be honest was the best dessert I tried in Barcelona, just excellent.

Great food, service and ambience - Edit
In this red brick interior, there is a wide selection for starters, mains and desserts. On a monthly basis, there are also daily specials that change per week and lunch combo options. This time, I had a pasta dish and sweet potato & gelato dessert. The staff is friendly and offered perfect timing of the dishes.

Decent Sister Shop to Flax & Kale - Edit
I love that there are so many nice vegan friendly restaurants here in Barcelona, and Teresa Carles is one of those spots.
Read moreI previously ate at their sister restaurant Flax & Kale and found that experience to overshadow my time at Teresa Carles. I was definitely familiar with many of the overlapping menu items and decided to go with their rotating lunch special for that day's meal.
I started with their gazpacho which was flavorful and a nice treat on a hot summer day. Afterwards I received my vegan kebab which I found a bit underwhelming. The pita felt too soft and there wasn't much of the actual soy meat they used compared to the condiments. It felt more like a TVP crumble on top of soft bread. I did enjoy the vegan pudding dessert to end the meal however.
Since I was leaving on a flight, I did end up ordering one of their veggie burgers and fries to go, and I found that to be much tastier than the kebab that I had at the restaurant.
Despite the 'okay' lunch, I still enjoyed the experience and am glad there's an extensive vegan scene here in the city.

Nos decepcionó - Edit
Era la primera que íbamos a Teresa Carles con grandes expectativas ya que es un restaurante referente en Barcelona de la comida veggie.
Read morePedimos unas croquetas de setas y otras de alcachofas y queso vegano (nada especial).
El gazpacho estaba ok.
Lo más decepcionante fué el cachopo vegano relleno. El cachopo no estaba jugoso y de sabor "meh"!. Las patatas que lo acompañaban estaban muy secas y las salsas que pusieron de estilo hindú no pegaban para nada con el tipo de comida.
Lo sorprendente fué la rapidez con la que sacaban los platos. Intuyo que estaba todo recalentado.
El postre sí que estaba rico.
Referente al personal, el chico que está recibiendo a la gente era simpático y correcto, pero el camarero que nos trajo la comida era poco sonriente y de pocas palabras.
Pros: Ubicación
Cons: Comida, Servicio

Innovative fast food in the city centre - Edit
The place is huge, and packed with people during lunchtime. Luckily, we got a table. Service was slightly hurried, resulting in a bit of impoliteness, but the food itself was there quickly and tasted good. Vegan food is clearly marked on the menu, and there is even a selection! I had the gold gazpacho and mushroom risotto, which were both innovative and tasty. Portions could have been bigger, but for that price, not a big deal.

Great menu - Edit
So many great options (vegan and vegetarian) - we were spoiled for choice. They also provided an English language menu, which was helpful. I loved the vegan croquettes (wish these were available near me at home) and the tartare the best. Lots of small plate options or larger main courses too. Plus a host of deserts. Appreciated the nut labelling too as I have a peanut allergy. Good service, maybe a bit hurried but nice people. We’d eat there again for sure. Only thing that jarred as it is an open kitchen, the whole restaurant smelled of burning, but maybe that was a one off.

Little oasis - Edit
This restaurant is located in a small and quiet side street in the heart of Barcelona's noisy and crowded city centre. You have to know where it is and tourists won't even notice since it is bit hidden.
Read moreThe food is great, they serve tipical spanish dishes as vegan/vegetarian. I had a Paella with vegan seefood. Desserts are also fantastic and its not expensive at all.
The place is nice and quiet. Totally recommend it. ❤

Terrible Carles - Edit
Upon my recent visit to Teresa Carles, I anticipated a meal that would captivate my palate. Unfortunately, the experience fell dramatically short of expectations. The fare seemed distressingly factory-made, presenting with the rapidity and tepidity of a chain eatery rather than a bespoke dining establishment. The dishes, ranging from Cannelloni to Caesar salad, arrived suspiciously swiftly and lacked warmth. Even the Black Forest cake, evidently pre-cut and refrigerated, failed to deliver the freshness one craves from a patisserie. The beverage selection did not redeem the evening, with many choices unavailable. The ambiance paralleled the food in disappointment, sterile and devoid of charm, leaving me yearning for a more authentic culinary encounter.

It used to be quite good but nowadays their food looks like it was just defrosted... Funnily enough they sell the same dishes frozen at some supermarket chains.
