    This place was great! Found it after making A second attempt at eating at a nearby vegan restaurant I found online. This time, they tried to shove me in the back near the kitchen and, having had enough of that for one trip, I left. I stumbled on this place and it was spectacular!.. It was a perfect setting, very friendly staff, and exceptional food

    Vegetable soup & salad bar plate. Sooo delicious.

    This place is awesome, great prices & delicious food. I highly recommend eating here. Meat eaters would like it too because everything is so tasty, filling & healthy. I wish we had this in NYC. Come try it!

    Mushroom ravioli. Tastes delicious!

    Judging from the more than average reviews we were hoping for a little more from Biocenter. The food was good, but not all dishes were worth the more than average price we paid. We chose the daily menu consisting of tofu stew, seitan with mashed potatoes and a piece of cheesecake with raspberry sauce. We tried some empanadas on the side, and the mushroom ravioli as a main dish. The stew tasted mostly of bouillon and lacked vegetables and the empanadas were a little dry and bland. The main dishes - seitan and ravioli - were a little more exciting and had more taste than the starters. The cheesecake was delicious! The kitchen closed at 11 and the restaurant at 12, but already before 11 the staff began packing away the decorations on the other tables, giving us the feeling that we had to hurry to finish our meal - not a feeling you want to have when you're eating out. Overall Biocenter is a cozy place with nice decor, but we left wanting a little more spice from the food and staff.

    Good vegetarian restaurant. That can serve a lot of people. Be aware that there's a store across the street with the same name, that is closed at night.

    That this restaurant has been opened for a very long time is testament to the quality of vegetarian cuisine served here.

    Vegetalia - Vegan paella

    I came here because I not only heard it was vegan (was hunting down for vegetarian options as it is…read morein Barcelona), but I wanted to try a veggie version of the paella. This place marked the spot. There's plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. I preferred an indoor seat this evening because of the heat. First, the paella comes in a hearty serving. Definitely will fill you up. I arrived around 7ish for perspective and they made this to order. The paella was made wonderfully. Me personally, it seems a bit too rice heavy and not enough seasoning for my preference, but that is more an indictment on paella and not this place. They did have plenty of other options so I'm sure people are satisfied regardless.

Very filling, and such good vegetables. The fish/meat substitute was super good. Really well done. Reasonably priced for LA standards. Not sure what standard BCN pricing is but my entree was ~15 euro. Had a small amount of leftovers. Ambiance was great, too. And staff able to speak English if you have any questions. Great allergen labeling. All around stellar spot. PS my walking tour guide said Born is much cooler and less touristy than the Gothic District- if that helps you choose which location. And the church across the plaza is free after 6 pm so pop in and look for the FC Barcelona window.

Check the website to confirm the hours because the Yelp hours weren't correct and we ended up coming about and hour and a half before they closed. The staff still welcomed us in but we tried to be polite and finish early. We order drinks. I got the sangria since I wanted to try it while in Spain. The alcohol was jussssst right, if you know what I mean. I think, altogether we order just about everything on the menu between us and the portion sizes were great for being able to share amongst the table. I ordered the Indian curry with rice. We also shared the baked cauliflower, mushroom puffed pastry, the honey miso aubergine, and the goat cheese mixed greens. Every last dish was wonderfully seasoned and the flavors were AMAZING, in my opinion. The only thing that wasn't up my alley was the aubergine. This is no fault of the chef. I just am trying to love aubergine/eggplant but just haven't found a dish that makes me swoon. It's a texture thing I think. Anyway, I really loved the mushroom puffed pastry and I normally have an aversion to mushrooms as well...texture thing yet again. The desserts were great too. I literally sucked the caramel flan in three bites. It was deee-licous! This place definitely is on my list of places the next time I'm in Barcelona. The decor and lighting was great for the ambiance, the staff were very nice, and the food came out fast and tasted perfect especially after a long day exploring Barcelona. Cheers!

We had the mushroom croquettes, the bread with tomatoes, and the burrata with nectarines on brioche which was the best of the three. We finished with the pumpkin pie with cardamom and the flan. From now on, I will add cardamom when I make pumpkin pie. The flan was the best flan I've ever had because it had an additional flavor. Our waiter was friendly and did a nice job.

They're dog friendly and you'll often find pups in the mix indoors or out (I bring my regularly). The food is mostly good. I'd skip the pasta, but the mexican burger (black beans) and the bravas (with harissa and using sweet potato) are great. The croquettas are also always awesome and they are seasonal, made in house and often have things like swiss chard or truffles. The brownie with ice cream is decent if you're missing a real brownie from the states, as most of them in BCN are not really brownies but more like bland chocolate cake. This one is legit, however. Hummus is also nice, as are the mojopicon olives for snacks. THose are the highlights. Beer selection is always pretty good, there are actually 10 taps, but two are low pressure something or other. They have organic lemonade and some other non alcoholic drinks as well; someone else said the wines aren't great and that's true, it's not really a wine spot.

The bartender suggested one of their house beers, the Brutal, which I'd also recommend. I went shortly after it opened (1pm) and the place was pretty quiet.
