About this guide
I can't call myself a vegetarian. I can't live without some accidental fish and eggs. But, at the same time, I don't like the feeling of a piece of meat digesting inside of me. What is important for me is a healthy diet, and that is what organic, vegetarian, and vegan restaurants are good for. I've picked out my favorite places which offer dining experiences that are both delicious and health-conscious.
Flax & Kale
🥬 Flaxy meals
Kate, roxxanaa
Flax & Kale is located just 5 minutes from Plaça de Catalunya, so you can come by after a long walk in the city center. If you book, ask for a table on the terrace on the first floor, which has a nice urban garden. From there, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the church and listen to the melodious rhythm of the old town. This place has a flexitarian (flexible vegetarian) concept, offering a primarily plant-based menu with occasional indulgences like shrimp. I celebrated one of my birthdays here. It was nice because vegetarians could enjoy their goodies, and carnivorous folks could have a nice oily salmon or a tuna burger. I suggest you try their truly delicious gluten-free pizza with some clever combinations of vegetables, fruits, and grains.

The Green Spot
🥦 Veggie for non-veggiesKate, roxxanaa
Located between El Born and Barceloneta neighborhoods, this place is perfect for a romantic date or an intimate gathering of friends. It is a hip vegetarian restaurant with a menu that can also please carnivores. I like this place for their stylish, minimalistic decor, seasonal vegetable salads, and delicious plant-based burgers. Don't miss their specialties: sweet potato tagliatelle with macadamia, truffle salsa, and mushroom risotto, a creamy, savory masterpiece!

A Vocados
🥑 Avocado headquartersKate
Another flexitarian café. It offers a wide range of dishes not only for avocado lovers. Be sure to order their truffle pizza - it's a bestseller, and once you try it, you'll understand why! I like how effortless this place is. It makes a vegetarian diet fun. The restaurant I visit is located just 3 minutes from the Barcelona Cathedral. But they also have several locations in other parts of the city, one of which offers a completely gluten-free menu.

Honest Greens
🌿 Healthy and affordableKate, roxxanaa
It is a chain with several locations in Barcelona, which made a splash a few years ago. Their goal is to democratize healthy eating. Quality, speed, and affordability: it is like a McDonald's but with organic food and a wider selection of options. The place is always packed, but the waiting is no more than 10 minutes. You can build your own plate or choose a dish from the menu. It's very convenient and doesn't cost more than a meal at a fast-food restaurant! I come here for their Middle Eastern treats: hummus, falafels, and halloumi (fried goat cheese).

Green & Berry
🫐 Vegan delightKate
This restaurant is located on one of the most charming pedestrian streets, Enrique Granados. It specializes in plant- and grain-based cuisine. They are most famous for their refreshing cold-pressed juices. The menu is almost completely vegan and 100% gluten-free, but it doesn’t make it less tasty. I stumbled at this place by accident, and now it is my go-to place when I crave some vegan sweets. You should taste their carrot cake with cashew cream or vegan doughnuts.
