Vegetalia

Quite a disappointment. The food was very boring — no spice, no originality, no fun. As a vegetarian, I find these kinds of restaurants irrelevant and annoying, because they contribute to the idea that food without meat is no fun.
We ordered a plate of mixed starters, fajitas, sangria and an orange-​banana-​kiwi juice, and all, except the sangria, lacked taste. The juice tasted like water with a hint of banana, and the fajitas where made with vegetables from frost. Overall the standard tortilla chips on the side were the most exciting part of the meal.
The food was edible, but a waste of time given the large amount of amazing vegetarian options you can find in Barcelona. It should be said that we went to the Vegetalia in Raval and can not know if the quality is any different in the other restaurants.

Came here for menu del día, the place looks very nice and the staff are friendly.
The only problem is that the service is too slow for a place serving menu del día where people need to eat and get back to work
The esparrago soup was very good

I had high hopes for this place after reading reviews. They have at least 3 locations in Barcelona and we ended up going to the one in Raval on a Thursday night.
My company and I got a jug of sangria for 8,50euros — win! It was definitely was light on the wine/​alcohol and more sugery than ideal, but I still enjoyed it. The two dishes we got were:
1) Vegetarian paella — This was a decent dish, however it doesn’t really have the consistency or flavoring of regular non-​veg paellas. The flavors in this dish were much more muted and you can feel the separate grains of rice, but enjoyed it as a rice, non-​paella, dish nonetheless.
2) Risotto — Again, this was decent dish. First taste that comes to mind was… CHEESE. Again, the risotto was different from traditional risottos in the way of its texture (high texture) and creaminess (low creaminess), I felt like the cheese attempted to mimick that creamy texture. I did enjoy it as a rice, non-​risotto, dish.

Literally stumbled into this restaurant. Had the tempeh salad which was delish. The dressing was light and flavorful and there were so many fresh ingredients. Since I’m in Spain, I went with the veggie paella. So so good… so much flavor. I’m just bummed this restaurant isn’t in the states!

Contribuye al pensamiento de que la comida vegetariana es insípida y aburrida. El menú desde luego no vale la pena.

Fui por la recomendación de un amigo y estuvo muy bien. El menú (incluye pan y agua) son 10 € lo cual es bueno. También hay carta. La comida estaba bien elaborada y los platos muy cuidados. Siempre da puntos ver que es un plato bien pensado.
El servicio fue agradable y el local está bastante bien decorado, de forma muy hipster. ¿Y qué es un restaurante vegetariano sin sus hipsters?
En mi caso, comí sopa fría de melón, pepino y menta y una vegeburger de tofu y kale con arroz integral. Aunque ambas cosas eran muy gustosas, en un día de verano la sopa es amor.

Located conveniently in a quaint square, this vegetarian restaurant offers fine fare at reasonable prices. Friendly, English speaking wait staff, too.

The gist: Good, affordable vegetarian food in a beautiful plaza with attentive service.
We came here b/​c Cal Pep was too crowded and I was afraid to try any seafood after a bad seafood experience elsewhere in Barcelona. I’m glad we did — it’s a beautiful plaza area, and there was no wait, but the place was pretty full.
I got a veggie paella and my GF got a curry soup. The curry soup wasn’t too spicy and the veggies were fresh in my paella.
Overall, I was very pleased with the food for the price and enjoyed sitting and relaxing here after a day of sightseeing. Great to have options like this with all the heavy Spanish food in the area.

The food was very good and the waiters nice, but we wished the prices on the menu were the actual prices we had to pay.
We felt a bit cheated because of this and due to the fact that only few restaurants do not display final prices in Barcelona, we will not go back to this restaurant.

Delicious!!! Love love love the spring rolls and lasagna. So happy to stumble upon this little vegi café gem.

Really enjoyed sitting outside in the sun and eating their huge brunch plate! Hoped we would be able to eat here again during our visit but there wasn’t enough time. Would return again for the brunch. Our waitress was also very sweet and their tea selection was great.

We have randomly stopped by here to eat something. They have a good selection of food but unluckily while we were there they didn’t have some of the food.
The staff is really nice and they offer free internet!
1 lt of Sangaria is 8.5 €!

Very disappointed by the food here. My mom ordered to Miso soup which tasted and looked like a bowl of soy sauce. We both ordered the paella which was flavorless. I was starving, yet couldn’t finish my meal I was so turned-​off.
There are plenty of great Veg/​Vegan restaurants in Barcelona, no need to visit this one.

This is a very good place for vegans or vegetarians like me!
The service was really nice and the food was also so good and healthy.
At first I had the Tofu and Shitake nuggets and after that the vegan Paella with vegetables and brown rice, which was both really tasty.
The green tea I ordered was also very good.
I would go there a second time, if I would not leave tomorrow.

I’m surprised that a vegetarian place is one of the best restaurants out of all the places that we have tried. I got the strawberry banana shake with tofu nuggets and those were both really good choices. My friend got the vegetarian pizza and the empanadas and those were really yummy too! The miso soup was eh.

Cute little place in La Rambla. Plaza George Orwell, I think?
Appetizer sampler is the best. Other things are decent. I would go back to it if I am in Barcelona again.

This was my last vegetarian restaurant, and possibly the least exciting. I got the veggie paella (there weren’t very many vegan options on the menu FYI), which was fine, but nothing to write home about; and a glass of sangria. Also Fine.
It’s definitely a decent option if you’re in the hood, but I wouldn’t make it a destination location like Teresa Carles!

Nice food and good prices. A good place for vegans and vegetarians to eat. I had a soya drink and a vegan salad with nuts and dried fruits and it all was really delicious and fresh!

Very nice surprise to find strolling through the streets of Barri Gotic. The food is fresh and delicious! The green salad is very refreshing and tasty. The veggi burger was also very good and served with a side of chips and house salsa. I would definelty go again, especially on a hot day when you don’t want anything heavy to eat.

Nice place to eat, although the Plaça it is located on isn’t very appealing. The brunch I had was great though, and the staff very friendly.

Rapido, sano, amables y buena onda!

A vegetarian restaurant with stuff for vegans featuring organic ingredients (where possible) in the warm heart of Barcelona. Always welcome!
Lushes can rinse their fodder down with an organic wine or beer, whereas those who covet sobriety can go for a more modest herbal infusion, and not risk waking up semi-​clad in a doorway, unable to remember where they live. The choice be yours. There is a terrace for the warmer months which let’s face it, is most of them and means it gets a four-​paws-​up as far as handsome young Mr Sweep is concerned, although he prefers his burgers meaty and to be honest, he’s got the teeth to prove it.

Good Wholesome Food
It’s usually pot luck when choosing somewhere to eat whilst
on holiday, after a few bad choices we found this fantastic vegetarian
restaurant, in the Gothic Quarter, my starter of hummus with pitta was delicious
as was the goats cheese salad sprinkled with pomegranates and walnuts, even my
bottle of San Miguel was an ecological beer. If I’d found this place earlier on in the holiday I would
have saved many bad choices of terrible Tapas and ate here instead. 2 starters, 2 main courses and 4 beers approx £25, which compared with other meals we’d had was very good value.

En el barrio Gótico de Barcelona, del grupo vegetalia. Como dice su nombre ofrece cocina vegetariana, ecológica y natural.
Recomiendo como entrantes, el humus aliñado y con pan de pita por 5,90 €, o si quereis una sopa, la sopa miso con algas y tofu por 4,50 €. Como plato, un capricho de tofu ahumado y verduras asadas con salsa de sésamo por 8,70 €. De postre sugiero el consabido pastel de zanahoria a 3,50 €.
Tienen un menu comida de entresemana a 9,90 € y un menu comida de fin de semana a 11,90 €; ambos se componen de un primero + un segundo + postre y bebida incluida. No está mal por este precio y si os quedais con ganas comeis más pan, no?

The food at Vegetalia is A-​OK, which is what a three star denotes, right? We shared seitan cutlets in some sort of sauce (just ok), tortellinis in some cream sauce (just ok) and tofu croquettes (just ok).
I seriously considered awarding Vegetalia a 2 star rating, because I swear it was the wateriest sangria I’ve ever had. And I must say that I had a couple pretty shitty glasses of Sangria in my travels about the country.
Second, we sat outside, and though I am a girl that would choose outside over inside almost anytime, I hated la plaza del tripi, yech. A bunch of crust/​homeless/​hippie types (I can never tell the difference) seem to hang out here, and one was retching up his cheap beer not ten feet away from us.
Third, I read really nice things about vegetalia here on Unilocal,so I had really high expectations. They were definitely not met.
I couldn’t however, give them a 2 star, because it’s a vegetarian restaurant in a foreign country with free wifi. That in itself, mediocre or not, is worth that third star.

Es un restaurante para ir y repetir. Cocina vegetariana de calidad y muy variada. Recomendable para vegetarianos y no vegetarianos. La buena cocina no está reñida con precios moderados.
Los platos están bien elaborados y la combinación de sabores son muy agradables al paladar.
Recomendación: Risotto de quinoa. Cocinado al punto, textura suave y sabor muy fino.
Los postres también son caseros, vale la pena probar una de sus tartas.
También dispone de tienda para poder comprar productos vegetarianos, veganos, orgánicos.

Comida vegetariana de bastante calidad y a un precio moderado. El servicio es atento y te informa amablemente de los platos mas desconocidos.

El servicio es sobresaliente, me dieron a probar de casi todo lo que tenían en la carta, cucharaditas, chupitos con las sopas, las salsas de las ensaladas… lo dicho unos cracks en atención al cliente: entre modernos y hipsters. Vamos, que tienen estilo en la ropa y en la mano para cocinar. Y sí, ser vegetariano es moderno y «cool» pero es que realmente es saludable. Opción vegana y vegetariana a gusto del consumidor.
Pude ver los productos –orgánicos por supuesto– con los que harían mi comida, allí mismo, delante de mi. Estaban en un mostrador de esos que se utilizan para guardar los quesos, de esos frigoríficos que habitualmente tienen ¡carnes! ¡¡sacrilegio! dirán los habituales del Vegetalia. Lo sé. Pero es que el mostrador no sé definirlo de otro modo.
Experiencia de casi diez si no fuera porque todos los platos llevan –horror– ¡cilantro! No soporto el cilantro… y lo que prometía ser una magnífica comida vegetariana acabó siendo un «tengo que dejar más de la mitad de lo que me han servido». Menos el pastel de zanahoria, que me lo zampé como si no hubiera un mañana.
He de decir que los chicos se ofrecieron a volver a prepararme los paltos ordenados, esta vez, sin cilantro. Lástima, tenía prisa y tuve que salir, de otro modo, hubiera aceptado.
Comedor amplio y con mesas separadas, tienen WiFi lo que les dota de un punto más a su favor.

Me gusta mucho el menú de mediodía de este restaurante vegetariano, especialmente el plato combinado de hamburguesa que ofrecen por unos 6 €. Puedes elegirla de varios sabores: mijo, seitán, tofu… Y todas vienen acompañadas de ensalada y un cereal también a elegir. El resto de cosas de la carta que he probado está bastante bien, suelen ser platos no muy elaborados pero de ingredientes de calidad, muchos de los cuales están a la venta en la parte de tienda que tienen.

Suelo frecuentar a menudo este restaurante vegetariano en la que se conoce como la plaza del tripi. Me gustan sus menús de mediodía y especialmente las sopas. Pero todo está riquísimo y las raciones sin ser especialmente abundantes no son escasas. Incluso los amigos que suelen comentarme que se quedan con hambre con la comida vegetariana han salido contentos de Vegetalia.
La decoración es sencilla y agradable. Lo único que no acabo de entender de este local es el rincón que hay al fondo con lámparas de sal y una puerta que va a ninguna parte. ¿Alguien me lo explica?
También puedes comprar productos naturales en el mismo restaurante.

No soy vegetariana pero… ¡Lo reconozco! Ese mensaje cada vez más generalizado de que hay que cuidar la alimentación empieza a calar también en mi persona. ¿Y si quiero comer sano, bueno y barato pero no me apetece cocinar, dónde voy? ¡Al Vegetalia!
Situado al lado de la plaza del tripi, ofrecen un menú diario por 10 € a base de cocina vegetariana, ecológica y natural. Ensaladas variadas, sopas variadas, humus, noodles, hamburguesas vegetales, paella vegetal y… ¡Postres! ¡Postres caseros realmente deliciosos! ¿Mi favorito? ¡El pastel de zanahoria!
Si te gusta cuidarte, no dejes de probarlo. Y si no te gusta cuidarte pero quieres probar cosas nuevas, dale también una oportunidad. Al fin y al cabo… En la variedad está el gusto, ¿no?
