To give you an idea of Sesamo, if this place offered pizza, the vegan version would be the one without cheese. As the waiter said, "It's a vegetarian restaurant with vegan options." He wasn't wrong: of the several desserts, only one was vegan. I didn't even ask what it was after the disappointing dishes I had already eaten. I think I've been spoiled in my travels through the world because I can't remember the last time I went to a vegetarian restaurant whose menu was not only predominantly vegan, but where they offered proper substitutes for dairy ie. cheese for vegan cheese. Even non-veg places do this these days. Sesamo seems to treat vegan options like an after-thought. Case in point: the smoked eggplant dish (for vegetarians) came with fermented red pepper, cheese, cilantro etc. The vegan version was literally some very salty miso paste spread on top of roasted eggplant halves. It was a strange and unpleasant combination. The vegan mushroom tart omitted the cream and cheese and was simply fried mushrooms served in a pastry cup topped with a sprinkle of pistachios and served with a bulgar side salad. I would have been embarrassed to serve something half-finished like this. While the ravioli had a nice flavor, it also felt like an incomplete dish with just black garlic and hazelnuts on top. The only thing that tasted really good of the four we ordered were the mushroom croquettes. The food feels lazy and although vegetarians seem better catered for with the amount of cheese on the menu, it certainly isn't inspiring food for vegans. It was an expensive and disappointing experience.

this is the best meal I have ever had and it isn't even close. get the tasting menu, get the flan, Jesus Christ man I can't even convey how good this is

We tried out the 7 course taster menu, (35€pp inc a glass of wine each) the portions were pretty small to be shared between two people but the flavours were good. The vibe is nice inside and the staff are friendly! The normal menu seems to have good vegan options so will deffo go back to try out more of the menu another time! Follow us on IG: @the.plantbasedbabes for more local vegan spots!

Really amazing vegetarian and vegan food!! Spicy but not too much, full of flavor and vibrant staff. Great wines. Amazing dulce de leche. Make a reservation now!

This place was 10/10. The food was perfectly timed out. It was rather quick, every single dish we ordered was incredibly delicious. They gave us a couple samples of the soup of the day to start which was really good too. The gnocchi was fresh and perfectly cooked. The roasted cauliflower was the show stopper here. It’s got lots of flavor and is cooked to perfection. Our server was very attentive and had a wonderful personality. There wasn’t one thing we ordered we didn’t like. This restaurant is great for ANYONE not just plant based eaters. You won’t be disappointed.

Super nice and surprising vegan tasting menu! Lovely ambience and staff. The flavors were amazing, would definitely come back to eat here! It’s vegan food prepared with passion.

A taste sensation with every course. Fab for vegans. The roasted cauliflower is to die for. Tasting menu is great value for money- we were so full when we left!

I have been vegan for 5 years and this was hands down the best meal I have ever been served! The owner served us and engaged in excellent conversation about the food, every member of staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the food and vegetarianism/veganism. We ordered one vegan tasting menu (minimum 2 people), 2 large plates and one starter between 4 so we could taste as much possible- and it was a lot of food but so delicious and perfect! If you are veggie/vegan and in Barcelona and you don’t make a trip here you’re making a big mistake! The food was so good we didn’t even get a chance to take any pictures!!

Amazing food, really well done! Not the most fancy but just exquisite. Went with an omnivore friend and we had the tasting menu because we couldn’t decide which dishes to pick. Everything was incredibly delicious. Especially the mushroom croquettes and the carrot ginger salad. Great experience, we’ll be back!

Our last meal in Spain at SESAMO comdia sin bestias after a two week visit was definitely a highlight of the many wonderful meals we had during our trip. We had a reservation for 8 pm and glad we did because the small restaurant filled up quickly. Their vegan menu items are clearly marked. We enjoyed olives, bread with tomato sauce, and peppers for starters and shared the roasted cauliflower head and the mushrooms in a pastry puff as our mains. Dessert was a caramel flan which was out of this world as the caramel is cooked into the flan. If you're a vegan/vegetarian, then SESAMO is a must visit while in Barcelona.

I have traveled all over and I have to say this was some of the best food I've had. I'm not a vegan nor a vegetarian. I do however like vegetables. Regardless the food at Sesamo is incredible. A lot of flavors and great combinations. The staff here is very nice and very helpful in regards to describing some dishes. It's pretty dark in here but the decor is nice.

Delicious food and excellent service, warmest recommendations!

Always such a lovely experience. I love their set tapas menu. It is a great value and amazing food, the staff is wonderful, and so is the decor/ambiance. Highly recommended.

Lekker gegeten!! The vegan dishes are full of flavour and you really don’t miss the meat for once even as a meatlover! But the lava chocolate brownie was the best i have ever had and only for that i will come back to Barcelona!

This is a great restaurant for anyone that likes to try out different foods. The way they serve the food is refreshingly special. Food was delicious and waiter very attentive and nice! Recommend.

After a long and soggy day of sightseeing I trusted the internet for my dinner choice. I was not disappointed. As a vegetarian I often get to choose the only option on a menu so it’s a delight to be able to really choose from a menu :). Everything was delicious in a cosy, single diner friendly space with friendly staff. I will be back at some point…

Seldom I’m writing on google, but this time I really feel like doing it. Great atmosphere (also the music), very special and unique presentation of food and of course tastewise one of the best experiences I had here in Barcelona. Definitely can recommend this place and will go here again by myself.

We got an average of 8 plates (half plates) for 50 euros plus 4 drinks- for 2 people. The food was well prepared but nothing amazed us. Good service. Not an amazing atmosphere. Overall I would not visit again but didnt hate it either.

Sensational! 7 course tasting menu + 2 glasses of wine, water and a coffee for 25€. Unbelievable value. Bread, soup and dessert not counted as part of the 7 courses so more like 10. Be aware it’s vegetarian and vegan only but the food is honestly so good we did not miss meat or fish!

Great service, positive attitude, thanks for that! Absolutely loved the mushrooms and the fresh salads. Though the variety of food is not that big but all the plates we tried turned out to he very tasty and looks (tasted) healthy. Nice vibes, as in many vegetarian places. The only thing that it was a bit dark inside. I wish there had been a bit more light inside.

Beautiful vegetarian food, super service and really good prices. We had such a nice evening. The strawberry gazpacho was amazing - highly recommend and will come again!

I honestly respectfully would discount anything less than 5 stars to this restaurant - they are doing such a great job. We went for the tasting menu to have some element of surprise on the menu and I love that they don’t declare it and they don’t feel compelled to do so. All they will ask you is what you definitely don’t want /don’t like. Given I am Indian , I definitely did not want any curry and wanted them to give me all Spanish hits. And they did! You could have another table next to you ordering the same Tasting menu and yet their dishes and your dishes will be different so there is real novelty/ experimentation to the whole experience. At €30 a head , with 2 glasses of wine - the place does not disappoint. Too many vegan / vegetarian places start with a great concept and absolutely fail at execution. sesamo chefs know this too well it seems which is why they use every trick up their sleeve to make the veggies the star of the show - presentation and taste wise. For eg. the brussel sprouts cut in the shape of an opening lotus , flash fried and roasted sitting on a bed of sauce - you will want to eat Brussel sprouts if someone served it like this! Great energy , you see the chefs in action through open kitchen , quick and no nonsense service.

(Translated by Google) It's great. They have vegan and vegetarian menu. Friendly service and fast. The place is cozy and there is no noise. Book a table!. (Original) Esta buenísimo. Tienen menu vegano y vegetariano. Amable servicio y rápidos. El local es acogedor y no hay ruido. Reservar mesa!.

Lovely place, nice cocktails

We did the chefs taster menu each, food was incredible, wine paired really nicely with it too. Would highly reccomend this restaurant, staff were great also!

The vegan tasting menu was fantastic. The miso eggplant was one of the best things I’ve eaten. I will definitely return!

Ate here on a booked menu for New Year’s Eve dinner and was pleasantly surprised. Portions were really generous and tasty. I have a bunch of allergies and they were amazing enough to make changes to the set menu to accommodate them. The only thing is that the place is a bit small and with the back sitting area being full we were sitting on stools at the entrance with little table space. All in all, really great veggie restaurant.

Very relaxed, vegetarian restaurant. Small and interesting menu, for a good price! From outside, the restaurant looked quiet and empty, but it’s actually much bigger than it looks. There is a bigger room in the back, and at 10 pm on Saturday night almost all tables were used.

We had the tasting menu, food was nice, though a couple of the plates were a little basic for a tasting menu- padron peppers, mushroom croquettes, pan con tomato. The more interesting plates were nice however. Their card machine wasn’t working, i offered to bizum the money but we had to get money from a cash point instead which cost us €10 commission fee. I did mention this when I went back to pay but no discount was offered.

I was very disappointed by this restaurant. It has very nice photos of food on the Google listing, but the experience was not as described in them. It is a very small restaurant, with a few tables in the back. They only had a limited menu, the only thing that caught our attention were some gnocchi and a vegetable pastry which was too expensive for the size of it. I think a similar one would have costed half the price in a normal pastry place in town. It is nicely decorated but seems like they did what they could with little money in a place where the rent is high.

the best service, food was so amazing. i recommend agnolotti!!! pumpkin pie was so good too

We really enjoyed the tasting menu and thought it was brilliant value for money. You can get 7 tapas, 2 glasses of wine each, and a dessert to share for €35 a head. The food was amazing, delicious, and interesting, with tapas ranging from pan con tomate to ravioli to padron peppers to gazpacho.

Incredible vegetarian restaurant in Bercelona, with very original and refined dishes, and delightful ambiance. The chef really spoiled us. The local wines were also top notch. Will definitely come back.

Cozy vegetarian restaurant Small card with some other daily dishes We got a small glas of the soup of the day as starter Pasta very tasty, freshly made Croquettes also very good Chocolate cake was good but a lot even for two Will repeat :-)

Amazing place with outstanding menu, wasn't expecting that from a place on that street, big surprise! Food was nice, wanted to try everything 😀 plus for the decor and music, definitely will come back

So, so, so delicious. Absolutely loved their selection of vegetarian and vegan food. Casual and cozy restaurant with friendly service and incredibly flavorful food. The baked Cauliflower is heavenly.

Amazing, creative and generous chef who knows exactly what he is doing. The food was amazing, best dinner we had during our time in Spain. Cuisine is typical spanish food revisited. Highlights were the smoky gazpacho and the roast cauliflower. Great atmosphere too !

We went for the seven course vegetarian tasting menu and it didn't disappoint. Absolutely stuffed at the end of it. The service was great. I would definitely recommend!

Excellent vegetarian and vegan tapas restaurant. Top class food. We had their fixed price tasting menu - 7 tapas dishes, plus dessert, plus 2 glasses of wine each, 60 euros for 2 people. Amazing dishes, lovely evening, friendly English speaking staff. I would highly recommend.

“Food without beasts”. Great inventive vegan food. We came for a lite dinner and enjoyed the food, drinks and the friendly service. The ambiance was great as well. Highly recommended!

Firstly, it felt like the servers and even the chef couldn’t be bothered and just wanted us to hurry up and leave. It really took away from our experience there. As far as the food goes, it was good, but a bit pricey given the small portions. Would have also liked to see more vegan options as nearly everything seemed to have cheese in it. Hopefully it was just an off night for them…

Honestly, the best place we’ve stumbled across in Barcelona. The nicest people and most amazing food. All so flavoursome. Each dish is bursting with flavour. Would recommend to anyone in town

Really good vegan food! Loved everything. Coming back soon for sure. The eggplant was amazing. Flavorful. The cold soup of the day was so fresh and the cauliflower was very tasty:)

Great food

Sesamo is an overrated vegetarian/vegan restaurant; the food at most is average. The restaurant came highly recommended on a number of travel sites and blogs but it cannot be more disappointing. For €25 pp, you get a seven-course tasting menu (includes a glass of wine each and water to share; this sounds like it is well worth the money, right? You cannot be more wrong. First, the pumpkin and miso soup arrived which was obviously microwaved because it was unevenly heated. This was followed by 3 small plates of potatoes and dip, green peppers and a mushroom croquettes type dish. Nothing exciting, very simple food. We then had two pastries, again felt like something that came out of the frozen isle in a supermarket. The gnocchi came out, 10 bits of gnocchi that was not smooth at all. A roasted butternut squash with cheese accompanied by toast with tomatoes on top arrived. Again, this was very basic and underwhelming. A small bowl of chickpea curry arrived, you can't go wrong with a curry but I could eat that portion by myself. To finish we had a slice of pumpkin pie that clearly came from frozen because it still was. What you get is not a tasting menu of the "chef's" creation but just bits and bobs they find easy to heat up. The dishes were not creative in any way and reminded me of being a university student again. For €25pp you can afford much better food and service. For a few euros more you can get a three course meal at a Michelin star restaurant.

Wonderful restaurant for vegetarian or vegan tasting menu

Not much to say other then the food is amazing, serve is good price, reasonable and great place to go to eat in you are in Barcelona. Came here 2 years ago and then again today and quality still the same which says a lot.

Intimate setting, friendly staff and great choice of veggie dishes some gluten free. Mushroom croquettes were delicious as was a special of beets hummus. Will definitely be back to try more!

Really really nice restaurant, tried the veggie tasting menu and it had a couple of new items for me. Delicious! Nice set of GT-drinks for those inclined.

Amazing food. We got tasters menu and everything tasted so good. Service was very good and ambience was decent. Will definitely returns in

Excellent Service combined with really good food makes this a must go place. I am constantly amazed by the vegan options in Barcelona. It starts off with a great warm welcome mean followed by the specials of the day which includes a great soup and followed by constant recommendations of the top us to enjoy. Good selection of wine, decent selection of beer make this a place that I will return. The food that was delivered was really good. The peppers – though they smelled incredibly hot – were absolutely fantastic! So glad I tried them. The rest the food was really good followed by two great vegan options for dessert.

Delicious vegetarian food that was indulgent and differentiated. Didn't have that hippie, healthy food vibe that a lot of veggie places have. Highly recommended. I had the red cabbage to start which was moist and tasty. Then the cauliflower for main, very filling and well cooked, the tahini sauce was nice. No room for dessert but I'll be back! Was cash only tonight but think that was an unusual thing for them.

Good service, nice menu, kind atmosphere. Loved everything I ate here, especially the mushroom croquet. Even my non-vegan teenage kid liked the food ;) Recommend to any vegan/non-vegan/vegetarian.

Delicious tasting menu!

(Translated by Google) Good quality (Original) Buena calidad

This was easily one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. I brought my skeptical meat eating parents and even they agreed the food was top notch and filling. As suggested by others, you must get the tasting board or you are missing out on so many unique flavors. The deal is incredible considering how much food and variety you get. My dad previously 'hated' some of the vegetables that he ate tonight and is now trying to figure out how to recreate the meals at home. We had a hard time picking out favorite of the dishes as each one was so delicious. The wait staff was attentive and helpful. We went right as it opened and it was not crowded- but it got quite busy as we were leaving. The rest of our trip to Spain we compared our dinners to this one. I highly recommend this restaurant.

It was good food. Veggie and vegan both possible!
