So after having eaten absolutely nothing of nutritional value whilst in Portugal, (I personally wouldn’t say it’s the easiest place for a veggie or vegan), we were in desperate of health. Thankfully we stumbled upon Zumito. Directly opposite Barceloneta beach, it’s a haven for fresh, healthy but delicious food. Think of any healthy hipster dish and they have it. My friend Zhané, (who took the majority of these photos. Check out her insta @chickpeababe), had the açai bowl and I had the quinoa salad. I honestly cannot tell you how good it felt to finally eat the vegetables my body was desperate for. Zumito has a great atmosphere, right on the beach with good music. The only thing I would say is that it’s slightly mores spenny that eating in the centre of Barcelona and everything is served in plastic bowls, even if you’re eating in.
// No habíamos comido nada saludable en Portugal, entonces tuvimos muchísimas ganas de comer algo como así. Encontramos Zumito, en frente de la playa Barceloneta. Se vende comida fresca, saludable y deliciosa. Mi amiga Zhané, (quien sacaste la mayoría de estas fotos. Una vegana muy guay, dale un vistazo su perfil de insta @chickpeababe), tomó açai y yo tomé la ensalada de quinoa. Zumito tiene un ambiente chulo, muy cerca de la playa con música buena. La única cosa es que el precio es más caro que en el centro y todo esta trayendo en plástico.
For dinner one night Ellie found the most amazing vegan restaurant called Veggie Garden. The decor of the restaurant is so vibrant and fun. This restaurant is fully vegan, so perfect for veggies too. They serve up Indian and Nepalese food with the option to have a plate to yourself, (like the Thali in the first photo. We got the ‘luxury’ one and shared, but they have a smaller option for a personal plate), and tapas bits, (we had the samosas, momos and grilled tofu). The variety of the menu is great, but the price is even better. A massive smoothie, tapas dishes, a luxury dish and dessert only came to about €15 each. I can hands down say this is the best meal I had in Barcelona. I cannot recommend this place enough, even if you’re not a veggie/vegan. I really wish they were a chain so I could enjoy it all the time!
I can’t find a website but here’s the trip advisor page.
// Para cenar, fuimos a un restaurante vegano que se llama Veggie Garden. Sirve comida indiana y nepalesa. Puedes tomar un plato personal o tapas. Tiene una variedad grande de cosas en la carta y el precio es increíble. Tomamos un smoothie grande, un Thali ‘luxury’, tapas, (samosas, momos y tofu), y un postre y solo pagamos aproximadamente €15. Aconsejaría este restaurante, incluso para aquellos que no son veganos o vegetarianos. Ojalá tuvieran restaurantes en Madrid también!

After spending the day at Park Güell, we headed to Cafe Camelia for lunch. A super cute vegetarian café, with a good few vegan options. They have a ‘menu del día’, (like a set lunch menu), with some great options and the staff are lovely! The atmosphere was very relaxed, with people sat around talking long after they’d finished their food. Think long, lazy lunch vibes. We started with smoothies, (we were trying everything to cure us of these dirty colds we had), then Ellie had the thai green curry, I had the cous-cous and Zhan had the soup. I can’t remember exactly how much it cost, but it was definitely on the cheaper end of the spectrum.
Again I can’t find a website for them so here’s their TripAdivsor page.
// Después de nuestro día en Park Güell, fuimos a comer en Cafe Camelia. Un restaurante vegetariano super linda que tiene opciones para veganos también. Tiene un menu del día que tiene opciones buenas y empleados muy amables. El ambiente es muy tranquillo. Empezamos con smoothies, (para curar los resfriados). Para comer, Ellie tomó el curry verde, yo tomé el cous-cous y Zhan tomé la sopa. No me recuerdo cuanto costó exactamente pero fue barato.
Otra vez no puedo encontrar un sitio web, entonces dejo la pagina de TripAdvisor.
