For veggies, flexitarians and raw food in Barcelona, plant-based dining has never felt so inspiring. Fresh, local fruits and vegetables (often organic) flow into the city from the surrounding farming areas, facilitating the growing wave of conscious, meat-free eating that’s causing Barcelona to rethink its meaty identity. Here’s our top picks of vegetarian dining options. Did you know – Culture Trip now does bookable, small-group trips? Pick from authentic, immersive Epic Trips, compact and action-packed Mini Trips and sparkling, expansive Sailing Trips.

Vegetalia

Tuck in to delicious veggie dishes in Barcelona

Vegetalia serves fresh carrot and zingy ginger juices to complement a series of vegan quinoa burgers, light empanadas and a bargain seasonal menú del día. Sweet-toothed diners can try the restaurant’s infamous vegan carrot cake. There’s also the added satisfaction of knowing that the bulk of vegetables that appear on your plate come from the restaurant’s very own local urban eco garden.

Quinoa Bar Vegetarià

Aguaribay

Mouth watering and delicious nachos at Aquaribay

Serving up an unpredictable fusion of Mexican, Japanese and Spanish flavors, Aguaribay is located in the hip industrial district of Poble Nou. It’s a must for vegans seeking authenticity and quality ingredients. The menu is stripped back and offers macrobiotic options, with a commitment to balancing flavors and the nutrition of each plate. The place gets busy at lunchtimes so book ahead. A great value two-course menú del día at lunchtime normally features the venue’s signature homemade pasta in plenty of rainbow-hued varieties.

Sésamo

Chef Alfredo at Sésamo

Sésamo in the heart of Raval, is influenced by spices and cooking styles from all over the globe, from Israeli spices to rich infusions of truffles. The must-try dish is the whole roasted cauliflower with tahini, green sauce and pine nuts.

Sopa

Sopa Boronat, Barcelona

Located in Poblenou, this vegetarian, communal-table bio cafe is attached to one of the city’s top yoga schools, Mandira. As advocates of macrobiotic eating, Sopa offers a menu of hearty soups, vegan pica-pica, colorful, seasonally-sourced salads, and a fragrant tofu curry served with arroz integral.

Prana Kitchen at Apocapoc

Raw beet pizza

Run by a collective of experimental vegan gourmands, Prana Kitchen delivers big on conscious cooking. It has its ideals firmly embedded in nutrient-dense food that blends Ayurveda and raw principles.It’s anything but standard vegan dishes, and the creative team behind Prana Kitchen rarely even follow a recipe, making dining here an unpredictable delight. Try a raw vegan ‘tuna’ wrap or a trio of mini veggie burgers.

Rasoterra

Delicious seasonal salad

This delightful vegetarian bistro is located in the Gothic Quarter. Ethically speaking, it’s squeaky clean; zero-kilometers, strictly organic and 100% local ingredients. Try dishes such as a surf and turf of mushrooms, seaweeds and wasabi mayo, or perhaps a cabbage parcel of thistle and almonds.
