Aguaribay – This Poblenou restaurant and cafe has been around for quite a while already, serving healthy and comforting vegetarian and vegan meals. They have a great lunch menu on weekdays. Carrer del Taulat, 95, Barcelona (Poblenou).
A Taste of Home – Also very much worth mentioning is the shop Taste of Home that is a lifesaver for any expat and local, too. They have a wide range of both vegetarian and vegan items, many of them difficult or impossible to find anywhere else in the city. In case you are looking for something specific, you can check with the owner and she might be able to order it for you! A Taste of Home has three locations, Carrer Roger de Llúria 53 (Eixample) , Carrer San Jose 32 (Sitges) and Carrer Maestrat, 11 (Cubelles).
Supermercado El Sueco – A Swedish supermarket with anything you might want when if you’re missing Swedish staples, AND they have a nice selection of intresting meat substitutes in their freezer. Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 714 (Eixample Dreta).
Maoz – If you haven’t been to Maoz, you haven’t really lived (in Barcelona)! Their falafels are legendary, and they’ve been around for a long, long time. Carrer de Ferran, 13 (Gòtic).
best vegan restaurants and cafes
Alive Restaurant Vegetarià – Used to be vegetarian but is now entirely vegan, with good options also for kids. Travessera de les Corts 180 (Les Corts).
Pastan – Plant-based pasta in lots of different versions. This family-run business first opened in the UK, and has now landed in Barcelona with their enticing pasta dishes. What about a pumpkin and sage tortellini dressed with sage butter and deep fried sage leaves? Or a vegan Mac & Cheese with crispy onions and toasted breadcrumbs? C/ de Josep Torres 25 (Grácia).

Noush – This fairly new restaurant serves beautiful, colourful comfort food with a Persian touch. They also offer natural wines, tapas, and cocktails. Carrer d’Olzinelles 100 (Sants).
Bubita Sangria Bar – Some say it’s the best place for vegan tapas! It used to be called BarCeloneta, but they have done a rebranding and changed their location to the Born. Carrer dels Flassaders, 15 (Born).
Ginger & Seltz – When someone calls themselves a Flexibodega I’m intrigued. Natural wines, vegan, vegetarian, and flexitarian tapas, and a really cute space come together here. Think vegan steak tartare, jackfruit curry, a vegan cheese board… C/ Planeta 41 (Gràcia).
Good Shit, Vegan Kebabs – Indulgent vegan kebab in a cool spot in Gracia. A must visit! Carrer del Torrent de l’Olla, 138 (Grácia).
