A complete dissapointment!

The only good thing I found in this restaurant were smoothies and a salad.
I have ordered wraps which were burned and tasted kind of old,..then pakoras which were over burned again and completely tastless,...Salad was good but just too small.
My friends had pizza they said it was ok,..
[edited by staff]
They told me everything is organic but the labels on friuts par examle didnt have any trace of organic certification,..
I dont care what people do in their spare time but work in a restaurant should have at least in tiny little interest in food and being kind to guests,..
Restaurant has a nice corner made out of himalayan salt otherwise lack of athmosphere...

I definetely dont recommend that restaurant,..[edited by staff]

Pros: Smoothies, Fresh juice

Cons: Poor food- over burned, Tastless old food, Expensive

decent place

Its pretty interesting going to a place where they sell their patties all nice and prepackaged and you can get them in any of the health food stores in town. Its a simple place, but they oil up a pan and sear the burger, and the burger just comes out on a plate with no bun so its a little anti climatic!

Cons: no bun

Good score

I was in Barcelona for a trade show and had bearly eaten all week -- not a great city for vegetarians -- so this place is a score. Great vibe. Good food.

Three courses with plenty of wine for two people came in under 50 Euro. Highly recommended.

Excellent

The restaurant is relatively easy to find, the atmosphere lovely, and the staff very friendly. It's not a huge place, but it's cosy and inviting - perhaps something to do with the massive crystal quartz wall!

The food was excellent, although for my ravenous partner, his portion was a bit small. Nevertheless, everything is fresh, tasty, and you get quality veggie food.

Try it.

Pros: Tasty, Variety, Atmosphere

Cons: Location, Portion size

Yay for broccoli & brown rice!

My wife & I went to Vegetalia for our first meal after a very long plane flight. As vegans, we like to be sure to get calcium via broccoli, collards, kale, bok choy, etc. I was very happy with the amount of broccoli in the sauteed veg's on brown rice. Alas, Catalunya often uses too much salt, so my wife was less happy, and I'll rate this a 4 rather than a 5. We learned that when in Catalunya, ask for no salt [and add a little soy after it's served]!

Pros: broccoli, brown rice, english menu

Cons: salty

Good food, friendly staff

On a great location at George Orwell place - this little resturant has a nice and friendly staff (who don't speak much English, but get along with the English menu). The atmosphere is good, the food deliciuos, healthy and cheap, and you can do take aways of the burgers. Very vegan friendly - with the list of the ingridiants on each dish.
Almost perfect.

Pros: Great food, good service, vegan friendly

Lots of vegan options! Even desert!

This became our favorite go-to restaurant during our stay in Barcelona. It is open all day so you never need to worry about time budgeting your sightseeing to correlate with your empty stomach. And the menu is full of super yummy comfort food which us Americans can start missing during our travels. Everything I had was amazingly flavorful. They somehow turned a simple dish of beans and rice into the most exotic, interesting flavor combination I've ever had. Magic! They have a rotating selection of vegan deserts, but I found the vegan chocolate pudding (a fixture on the menu) to be superior to any of the specialty cakes that I tasted. The restaurant is very English friendly and has menus printed in several languages. The staff was very helpful and nice and always remembered us upon our return. And the sangria.....yum! Definitely a must visit. (sidenote: when we asked the concierge at our hotel for directions, he told us not to go as it is a "terrible" part of town. he wouldn't even give us directions. this is rubbish. apparently the area used to be a red light district, but it has come a very long way since then. all of the usual travel rules apply, but i found it to be a completely hospitable neighborhood. and it's just a short walk off la rambla)

Pros: lots of vegan options, friendly staff, all day dining

Cons: none!

Not too exciting

OK, maybe we ordered the wrong things from the menu- we had a veggieburger and grilled tofu. Both had very little flavor, the portions were small.
They seem to have a good lunch menu - 8 euros for a 3 course meal.
The staff was very friendly and helpful.
To be fair we are very picky and the people next to us enjoyed their meal a lot. There are better places to go though.

Pros: good location, friendly staff

Cons: bland food, small portions
