We ordered a really diverse selection of things that we are pretty used to eating at restaurants - gnocchi, pad thai, croquettes, potatoes. The pad thai was better than any we've had in very nice thai restaurants, and the gnocchi was far superior to any we've had in Italy or at home. The flavors were extremely unique, the staff was...

Fantastic vegetarian meal here! Our favorite vegetarian restaurant in Barcelona used to be Teresa Carles, but this one just edged it out. The salad with nuts, goat cheese, and long sliced carrots and cucumber was excellent! We also had the smoked watermelon gazpacho which was very good, and unusual (who smokes watermelon?) For mains, I absolutely loved their curried eggplant... More

What an amazing place! We had the tasting menu for 25 euros each - 7 courses (yes, 7!), a dessert to share and two glasses of wine each. The delicacies placed in front of us were delicious, innovative and served by a friendly, obviously passionate chef, who explained just exactly what we were eating. Among other things, we had lovely... More

We went here for a late dinner after a friday Jazz Si flamenco performance and it was so awesome! We did the ?25 7 dish chef selection which comes with 2 drinks and a bottle of water. Interesting combinations like mushroom hushpuppies, smoked watermelon gazpacho (yum!) and gorgonzola stuffed gnocchi with a beetroot hazelnut sauce made this meal incredible!! We... More

This place is only small, but that means you get good service and great food. We all tried the tasting menu (€250) and enjoyed every bit of it. The chef explained each dish - nothing too radical, just good honest veggie food. And the gin menu was an eye-opener. Only tried the Beefeater with grapefruit; will have to go back... More

One of the best meals we had in Barcelona. Highlights included an aubergine goat cheese starter, a wonderful spargel and pistachio risotto and for dessert a sampling of three desserts: pumpkin pie, peanut butter cheesecake and a scoop of caramel and sea salt ice cream, as wonderful as it sounds. The icing on the cake was the friendly chef, who... More

What a great place? Clever vegetarian cooking with real flair at sensible prices and produced with some real tender loving care. We had dinner there - and liked it so much we went back the next night and more or less ate the same meal again. Great place, off the beaten track slightly but only two minutes from the Metro....

We visited this restaurant based on the reviews on Trip Advisor and we were surely not disappointed. My husband is vegetarian and so eating good food had been a bit tough for him while in Spain. The restaurant is located right next to the metro stop (Sant Antoni stop I believe) on a small lane. It's quite small so it's... More

Amazing! Dont miss it. Fantastic vegetarian and vegan food. We went because rarely does a veggie/vegan restaurant get such good reviews and we were not disappointed. We had the taster menu to try more courses at once at only 25 euros each including a glass of wine. Some of the best food I've had and all original, for example smoked... More

On a wet day in May I went online to look for a good restaurant near to our hotel so we didnt get drenched in the rain. 800 ft and some good reviews seemed like a winning combination. Little did I know what a gem we would find. The small restaurant was AMAZING. The food delicious and filling. My sister... More
