Zaatar Vegetariano

Great veg paella! And what a STEAL for lunch: 12 € for paella, salad, wine, and the best pita — pesto and olive oil, mmm.
Brb, headed to my kitchen to try to copy that paella recipe.

Quiet, Chic & Yummy! Owner was very personable and knowledgable from their organic wine to locally sourced produce (most def farm to table).

Delicious juices, food and great customer service. It was such a nice break to be able to eat some healthy vegetarian food here in Barcelona. Eggplant and falafel were all really good.

This place was fantastic. The atmosphere was great, everyone spoke English and the menu was in English, so it’s very friendly to travelers. Prices were super reasonably for ethically sourced and sustainable food! They were even able to offer me a vegan option for the vegetarian lasagna (which was delicious). Very impressed with this place! They also have wifi and air conditioning along with a lovely little loft you can sit at! It’s beautiful, service was great, fast and friendly, and the food was fantastic. Will definitely be back!

It’s getting late, and they’re about ready to close up. This lovely, absolutely gorgeous tall woman, tells us that they are open and immediately I like here open heart and sincere facial expressions. AND OH WOW, her skin is so clear, wrinkle free, natural, and NO MAKE UP. Already, i know… what she gives and takes in, just gives off the most natural glow. I NEED and want that. Don’t we all? She’s so sweet and natural, not at all snotty and catty. Her beauty is just there, and I don’t even think she looks in the mirror with ‘I am too beautiful and i will make damn sure other girls know that. kind of ugliness’. I bet she looks at her self in the mirror and says, i’ll clean my face and go to Zaatar Vegetariano, and just give to others health and happiness.
The male owner’s body language is OPEN, PASSIONATE, EARNEST, BARE, HUMBLE, AND YOU JUST KNOW IT IN YOUR GUT… he speaks through action, not through fake words and grand speeches of the business suits, and ego’s that primarily concern themselves with themselves. He’s a true giver. It’s in his intense eyes, and in his body language. HE NEEDS TO CREATE REAL WHOLESOME MOSTLY ORGANIC, VEGAN VEGETARIAN FOODS THAT HEAL YOU FROM WITHIN. They take the time to explain to you the itty gritty details, and that’s when you know… they understand the rythyms of life and death. Their flow is like water… pure water. I LOVE THEIR BEATS ALREADY. They’ve got heart.
The veggie meatballs with brown rice… yea, it tastes better than real meatballs.
The vegan lasagna… ummmm TOOOOOOOO WONDERFUL. it was so delicious. I’ve been to many vegan vegetarian gluten free joints. So far, Zaatar Vegetariano is NUMBER ONE. Thank you Barcelona, Spain. You’ve given a neat place, in your steps of this world, to 2 unique, never garden variety type of people, with a set FOCUS of humble ingredients, that are infused together, HOME MADE, from scratch.
THE PESTO SAUCE I FINISHED OFF ALONE. Never too salty or overly greasy. It was just basil and some more love, that I gobbled up… gobble gobble.
Oh yea, and he came out to apologize for the slightly mediocre food, because it was closing time, and he humbly felt a bit ashamed for what he gave us. He told us to come back during a set time to really taste his best at his peak. It’s like, are you trying to make me adore you more by being so humble and honest? Please make lots of babies for this world, and make your humble stamp mark on their hearts. The food was sooooooo delicious. You’re just totally bonkers if you think that your honest food could ever be not the best. TAKE IT FROM ME… BOTH OF YOU CREATE DELICIOUS HONESt FARe that make me want to cry… THIS STUFF IS GOING TO MAKE ME HEAL.
ps. we will be back tonight! see u 2 soon! Hannah Yoo. and my folks!

Andaba buscando un vegetariano y encontré este, que a pesar de que pone en Unilocal es comida arábiga, en realidad es veggy israelí
Buena comida y servicio. Te explican los platos que no conoces sin perder la sonrisa.
Volveré a ir

Me parece demasiado caro y por eso las pocas estrellas; a pesar de que la ensalada árabe estaba buena, se me hizo un insulto pagar € 5 por un botecito de 300 gramos
Lo bueno es que tienen servicio a domicilio y que cierran a las 24
Personal amable pero precios muy sobre valuados

No conocía este restaurante hasta que mi prima me llevó allí el otro día. He de decir que es mi primera experiencia en un restaurante vegetariano, por lo que no tengo ninguna referencia. Sin embargo, esto no me ha impedido apreciar que todos los ingredientes eran frescos y de calidad.
Había varias opciones de menú y los precios, al menos a primera vista, me parecieron muy razonables.
No teníamos mucha hambre así que pedimos menús pequeños: mi acompañante uno que incluía un zumo (de manzana, lima y menta, riquísimo) y un principal; yo uno de entrante (guacamole con ensalada árabe) + principal (lasaña vegetal). El pan árabe venía aderezado con especias y estaba buenísimo, al igual que el guacamole (que en pocos sitios me gusta) y la lasaña vegetal (en principio venía con queso de cabra pero la pedí sin él), no solo estaba increíble, sino que me la acabé a pesar de estar llena ya con el primero.
Me quedé con muchas ganas de probar los postres, pero ni el estómago daba para más ni tampoco el tiempo, ya que el servicio fue un poco lento y se nos echó el tiempo encima. Si consiguen corregirlo, lo harán perfecto.

Wow, we were so glad to have found this place right around the corner from our hotel. We are one vegan and one omnivore and we were both really pleased with the food. The owner and staff were very attentive and friendly. The kitchen clearly puts a lot of energy into making clean, healthy, and delicious food. We had the guacamole, the vegan burger, stuffed eggplant with rice, carrot cake and carob cake. The next visit we had the pasta with pesto, millet croquettes, spinach salad, and minestrone soup. All the food was delicious, definitely worth a trip to this place if you are in Barcelona.

Traveling throughout other countries is sometimes a challenge when it comes to wanting to still eat healthy. Don’t get me wrong, eating what a country or region is known for and sampling the local food is a wonderful thing, but after a few days and nights of eating whatever our vacationing hearts desired, we were craving something more on the healthy side! We found this wonderful (and rare) vegetarian restaurant while visiting Barcelona, and had one of the most amazing dinners there! Our favorites: Minestrone Soup, Spinach Salad with Arame/​Tofu/​Miso Sauce, Paella Quinoa and Seitan, Seasonal Vegetable with Tehina Vinaigrette. Unique, flavorful dishes, and healthy too!
The owner was very friendly and came by to chat with us (it was very obvious we were Americans on vacation when we tried to speak Spanish and decipher the menu).
Another bonus was that they have fresh-​pressed juices and organic teas! Try the Beetroot/​Carrot/​Ginger/​Orange/​Lemon juice and the
Fresh Ginger & Canela tea!

I wish I’d gotten the Shakshuka. It wasn’t on the menu of the day, but since they didn’t quite charge us according to the menu of the day price structure, I should have just gone with what I wanted.
The food was ok. I’m not much of a fan of soy/​tofu or seitan, but if you are, you’d probably love the offerings. The veggie lasagna was decent. Ask for the spicy sauce that they make (I think they charge a euro for a ¼ cup serving size — but it was really good and helped brighten the lunch and give it a punch).
Also available are fresh pressed juices made to order.

My wife and I were blown away by Zaatar Vegetariano. The owner is not only deeply committed to organics, but he’s also a wonderful host. We wanted to experience as much of the menu as possible, so in addition to our selections, we asked him to make some recommendations. Fantastic! It was, by far, the best dining experience in Barcelona, and we tried all the vegan hot spots. I would highly recommend, especially the chocolate orange pudding. Still thinking about it!

Fui con una amiga con quien siempre estamos probando sitios diferentes. Nos gusta compartir los platos y pensé que esta podía ser una opción sana y agradable para una noche de verano.
Me pareció más un lugar para una comida rápida que para una larga sobremesa; a pesar de que es un lugar amplio, no era demasiado acogedor, excepto las mesitas de la planta superior que están cerquita de la barandilla desde donde puedes ver la barra.
Los 2 chicos que atienden el lugar eran muy agradables y serviciales, pero tal vez un pelín lento el servicio.
La comida, muy buena. Las raciones eran bastante abundantes y los precios me parecieron excelentes. Pedimos 2 entrantes para compartir y luego un plato cada una y no nos pudimos acabar todo. En cuanto a la calidad, utilizan muchos productos orgánicos y sus platos son muy gustosos; el pan casero muy bueno.
Creo que podría catalogarlo más como un restaurant para el día a día que para una ocasión especial.

Bleh… I’m mostly vegetarian/​vegan so my taste buds are accustomed to healthy eating, and this food was just plain bad. The falafel tasted funky, the cold soup was bitter and poorly seasoned, the quinoa paella just tasted like cumin and also had a bitter aftertaste. The juice of the day (pear, celery, and apple) was 90% pear pulp and was more like trying to eat apple sauce from a glass than drinking juice. I can’t give a restaurant high reviews just because they have healthy food.

Nice vegetarian place. Mixed cuisine — from veggie burgers, pasta etc. to hummus, tahini, Shakshuka (popular Israeli food originating in North African Arab countries)
Dishes lacked speciality or flair but the food was good in taste and in value for money.
Fresh juices were a nice treat.
The chairs used for the tables in the entrance are too high. Sitting was difficult because of it.
All in all — healthy and conscience food. Need more restaurants like this for day to day eating.

Comida vegetariana y vegana con gran porcentaje de productos ecológicos. What’s not to like? La calidad de la comida es excelente, el precio es normal para un menú del día (entre 7,50 y 12,90 dependiendo de como te montas el menú). Me encanta que puedas combinarte lo como quieras: plato principal y zumo del día o entrada y plato principal pero sin postre, o entrada y postre, o como quieras.
Rico, saludable y con precios justos, una combinación genial.

Sitio muy agradable en pleno centro — pilla la esquina de Enric Granados con carrer Paris. La comida es vegetariana, aunque hay opción de platos veganos estrictos o también sin gluten.
Menús interesantes, aunque el menú «normal» se sale un poco de los presupuestos más austeros — 12,90 con la bebida y el postre. Aunque también estaba la opción mini-​menú por 7 € y algo que incluía sólo el plato principal con un pequeño entrante. El zumo del día está delicioso, así que si no sabes sobrevivir sin tu birra o tu vinate, te perderás algo bueno.
También noté una especie de Menú Crêpe que tenía pinta interesante con 5 ó 6 variedades, aunque el precio — casi 6 € — no era quizás muy económico. Aunque no sé presentación, ni calibre.
¡Mención aparte merecen los postres! La halwa que yo me pedí estaba de-​li-​cio-​sa, con un topping de crema de leche por encima. ¡Pero es que el tatin de pera de Sara, era Bocatto di cardinale supremo! (Confieso que me hubiera comido 3 en lugar del menú, y me hubiera quedado tan a gusto.)
Decoración simple y muy lograda, hay un pequeño comedor al fondo, después de pasarla la barra. Además del principal, que está en la planta de arriba, a la que se accede por una escalera de madera. La cosa es ir pronto y pillarse las mesitas que estén más cerca de la baranda y que tiene vistas. Aunque todo el comedor en sí, pintado de blanco, da una agradable sensación entre amplitud y recogimiento.
Está bien, tirando a bastante. Aunque tampoco es tan de mi gusto como otros vegetarianos. O quizás salga más a cuenta ir o bien en grupo más grande, para probar más. O ir yendo más a menudo. Aunque no entra precisamente en mi rango de posibilidades. Y eso que no considero que sea caro para la zona.
¡Eso sí, intolerantes vari@s o vegan@s estrict@s, no lo dudéis; es vuestro restaurante!

The food was fresh and well presented and rations were generous. I highly recommend the juices, really refreshing and tasty, and also the chai to after lunch.

Hace unas semanas conocí al dueño de este restaurante en un evento de Unilocal y la verdad es que su concepto empresarial enseguida captó mi atención así que me animé y fui a probarlo con una amiga mía que es vegana.
Buenísimos los zumos. Mi favorito es el de remolacha, zanahoria, jengibre, naranja y limón. Enseguida probamos el pan za’atar que estaba recién hecho, calentito y ligeramente crujiente. Me gustó mucho. Mi amiga y yo compartimos una ensalada como entrante. Llevaba tofu, chucrut y aliño de mostaza y frutos secos. Lo que más me gustó de esta ensalada fue ‘precisamente el aliño. El chucrut pensaba que sería más abundante y el tofu carecía de sabor. En general los ingredientes estaban frescos y la combinación de sabores era buena pero quizás me esperaba otra cosa. Todo quedo compensado con los siguientes platos. La verdad es que yo nunca había probado el seitán y me pareció que estaba muy bien cocinado y muy sabroso, tanto el del Schnitzeltan como el que iba servido con setas y salsa de almendras.
Y finalmente llegó lo que más me sorprendió de la noche… los postres. Teniendo en cuenta que elegimos postres veganos (sin lácteos, ni huevo, etc…) no sabía qué esperar. Pues la verdad es que estaban muy buenos. La crema de café tenía una textura cremosa y sedosa y el toque de naranja le aportaba un toque de lo más original. Y el postre de mi amiga, el pastel de algarroba y avellana, era super original.
Nos atendió Mari, andaluza como yo, y concretamente de Sánlucar. Una camarera encantadora, muy atenta y profesional. El restaurante está muy bien ubicado y la verdad es que merece la pena visitarlo, ni que sea por apoyar la causa de un pequeño restaurante ecológico que intenta seguir la filosofía del respeto y la sostenibilidad en todos sus aspectos: empresariales, gastronómicos y humanos.

This vegetarian restaurant serves Mediterranean food — an intelligent and well executed mix of Spanish and Middle Eastern cuisines, to be more specific — that is locally sourced and organic. I tried the croquetas, carrot pâté, tomato and cucumber salad, quinoa ‘paella’, and the stuffed eggplant. All were fresh and full of flavor. Very good.
I also had the chance to speak to one of the owners, Eli. He was extremely outgoing, telling us about the concept of the restaurant and making sure we were enjoying ourselves. He’s committed to the locally sourced, organic concept and is clearly focused on serving quality food.
