Amazing! Dont miss it. Fantastic vegetarian and vegan food. We went because rarely does a veggie/vegan restaurant get such good reviews and we were not disappointed. We had the taster menu to try more courses at once at only 25 euros each including a glass of wine. Some of the best food I've had and all original, for example smoked... More

On a wet day in May I went online to look for a good restaurant near to our hotel so we didnt get drenched in the rain. 800 ft and some good reviews seemed like a winning combination. Little did I know what a gem we would find. The small restaurant was AMAZING. The food delicious and filling. My sister... More

My boyfriend and I visited this restaurant at the end of March and had a most wonderful meal. I am a vegetarian, my boyfriend isn't and there were plenty of interesting and unusual dishes to satisfy both our tastes. Service was friendly and professional but by far the highlight was the food being served by the chef. This bought a... More

Great vegetarian food, a bit more expensive but definitely worth it! Choose from the regular menu or the daily specials. Add a bottle of wine to your order because they have good wine as well! Enjoy the open kitchen and a little chat with the chef :)

What a find. The food here is very reasonably priced, excellent quality and the service is great. Really nice chef who came out and spoke to us at our table. He found out we were from Glasgow and said he'd love to go one day. He even described how he cooked the potato dish. It's in an area of Barcelona... More

Of all the vegetarian restaurants in Barcelona, we chose this one to celebrate our anniversary meal and we were not disappointed. We had the vegan taster menu and thoroughly enjoyed all of the dishes we were served. The place is literally a hole in the wall with less than 10 tables, but very cosy and casual and the owner/chef brought... More

After finding Sesamo on this website (I tend to use it frequently when travelling!), and after its positive reviews, I decided to give it a go. Being vegetarian in Spain is a real challenge! I arrived there around 21:30, and the back dining area was full, so next time I go, I will be making a reservation. They accommodated me... More

We visited this restaurants without appreciating it was vegetarian. We opted for a tasting menu, but the regular mains were very appealing too. This was a great choice and would certainly recommend. The owner/manager was very friendly and attentive to all his guests too.

We tried the 25euro tapas, it was a great way to experience different tastes. The chef chooses 7, small dishes, that came one after the other. The first was not so good, it looked like soup, came in a soup bowl, but it was cold strawberry and basil...strange mix, but after that all the other dishes where great, had a... More

This restaurant is highly recommended, it has a very cosy atmosphere and is a perfect place to go to dinner. A tasting menu is availble whereby you can have a total of 7 dishes inclusing dessert and 2 glasses of wine for 25 euros. The main menu is also very good. The waiter is attentive and explains each dish to... More
