VEGATERRA
Vegaterra is the rebirth of El Maderal Bar Vegano, which opened its doors in 2016 near La Sagrada Familia.

Small, but mighty. Vackä, which means “to awaken”, will definitely please vegans and non-vegans alike.

Try the tempeh skewers and their tasty desserts, such as the tiRAWmisu and their bRAWnies!
LA RAPOSA
La Raposa, which means fox, or vixen, is more than a vegan bar; it is also a feminist bookstore and a space open to musical and artistic activities, workshops and events aimed towards sustainable living. Here you can enjoy vegetarian tapas and dishes while reading a bit about feminism, gender perspective and veganism in a luminous and vibrant atmosphere. They also have alcoholic, non-alcoholic and gluten-free drinks to satisfy all.

XAVIER PELLICER
In his new restaurant bearing his own name, Michelin-star chef Xavier Pellicer proudly strives to make each dish a piece of art, from the way the food is arranged to the chinaware it is placed on. Using techniques such as wok, various spices and chargrilling, his cuisine can be best described as biodynamic; the ingredients are local, fresh, free of chemicals, and also have added vitality. This is definitely a very satisfying gastronomic experience that is both tasty and healthy. Among Pellicer’s favorites are the gazpacho and cauliflower puree.
If you are planning to come to Barcelona and have a perfect day, we recommend you to first come and try an AIRE Experience before you go to any of the most incredible vegan restaurants.
