    Excellent tasting plate. Very generous servings. Dessert included. Unlimited digestive teas. Canteen style service. Full meal at a reasonable price. Peak hours tend to get *very* crowded. Will definitely be back again....and again...and again.

    Amazing place for vegan lunch in a healthy and tasty way. It was refreshing after all vegan burgers that I ate to have this nourishing meal! I felt very light after this meal so highly recommended!

    The food is amazing. I had a chance to eat twice. Every time was perfect. I'm vegan and macrobiotic for 8 yrs. I had a chance to eat in Barcelona in couple of vegan restaurants and macrobiotic zen was the best. All the time there are three or four different soups and main dishes huge variety of desserts. What is really important that the plate is huge and it's absolutely complete meal you can get proteins cereals fresh salads pickles and algas (which are the source of minerals). I had a chance to cook on vegan festivals and this is perfect full and complete meal what they serve not a junk food or fast food like in some restaurants. I highly recommend this place and it's absolutely worth of price.

    Macrobiotic must in Barcelona. Vegan friendly and a nice break from the usual vegan options. Nourishing meal in a quaint setting. Kind service. Highly recommend. :)

    I love this place, food is well balanced in nutrients and taste, its affordable, and the staff are kind. I also love that they have different teas to choose from and are all complimentary. The desserts are good, but maybe not as good as the main courses. I will surely come back

    (Translated by Google) Good restaurant, quality and good price. Although the price has risen slightly, it is still attractive and recommendable, compared to the rest of Barcelona. Quantities are still generous although perhaps before they were a little larger and even of higher quality. In miso soups for example, before there were plenty of shitake mushrooms and now however, they put vegetables and almost no mushrooms ... Maybe it was my accident on that day that I went, but it has happened to me quite a few times lately. Still I would recommend it and go again. We encourage you to continue at that level and even improve it. (Original) Buen restaurante, de calidad y buen precio. Aunque han subido levemente el precio, sigue siendo atrayente y recomendable, en comparativa con los demás de Barcelona. Cantidades siguen siendo generosas aunque tal vez antes eran un poco mayores e incluso de mayor calidad. En las sopas de miso por ejemplo, antes abundaban las setas tipo shitake y ahora sin embargo, te ponen verduras y casi sin setas ya... Tal vez ha sido casualidad mía en ese día que he ido yo, pero me ha pasado bastantes veces últimamente. Aún así lo recomendaría y volvería a ir. Animamos a qué sigan en ese nivel e incluso mejorarlo.

    (Translated by Google) The food good and well balanced. Free filtered water. Idem tea Idem bread The menu in proportion I see a little expensive for this type of food. I think that the price should be around 10 euros as in other restaurants of this type of cuisine and not 13 euros. The service is battling and they go to bag, both in the kitchen because it seems that they serve ranch as for the attention in room where they nag you for trying to occupy a table when they see that you are loaded. If you are loaded with the computer backpack, any folder in your hand and jacket, or the motorcycle helmet you do? How do you use the tray and with what quality and mastery of balance do you arrive at the table that you are later told to take? A very hippie atmosphere but much lack of empathy and service. Something to improve. I understand that there is a queue and a lot of demand for tables, but being attentive to whoever enters and if you have the availability to serve yourself would be something important. Whenever I go I go out with bad aftertaste. The food is good but the sheeps personal style, and I still come back !! The area is difficult to park. It is always saturated and preferable to go with time. Do not reserve #LetsGuides #macribiotico #barcelona (Original) La comida buena y bien balanceada. Agua gratis filtrada. Té idem. Pan ídem. El menú en proporción lo veo un poco caro para este tipo de comida. Creo que el justiprecio debería rondar los 10 euros como en otros restaurantes de este tipo de cocina y no los 13 euros. El servicio es batallero y van a saco, tanto en la cocina porque parece que sirven rancho como por la atención en sala donde te clavan bronca por intentar ocupar una mesa cuando ven que vas cargado. Si vas cargado con la mochila del ordenador, alguna carpeta en la mano y la chaqueta, o el casco de la moto que haces ? Como te sirves la bandeja y con qué calidad y maestría de equilibrio llegas a la mesa que luego te dicen ocupes ? Un ambiente muy hippie pero mucha falta de empatía y servicio. Algo para mejorar. Entiendo que hay cola y mucha demanda de mesas pero estar atentos a quien entra y si tiene disponibilidad para servirse sería algo importante. Siempre que voy salgo con mal regusto. La comida buena pero el trato personal estilo rebaño de ovejas, y aún así vuelvo !! La zona es difícil para aparcar. Siempre está saturada y preferible ir con tiempo. No reservan #LetsGuides #macribiotico #barcelona

  • 4/5 Simon Y. 2 years ago on Google
    I enjoyed my lunch here and will be back. Large portions that fill you up. Not a lot of strong flavours but macrobiotic food tends to be simpler with less sugar and salt, etc. I liked the small touch of adding seaweed to the salad and various vegetables like beetroot. Maximising the food groups. Canteen style service which was fun because you see the kitchen and talk to the cooks. I didn’t try the desserts which looked nice. Recommended.

  • 5/5 Xènia G. 6 months ago on Google
    The food is incredible in both matters: tasty and healthy. The atmosphere is nice, since there's no music and, usually, people try to be as respectful as possible. The stuff is caring, helpful and nice. They also offer the possibility to take the food home, and I recommend it. Also, THE DESSERTS; like this, in capital letters. They are incredible and, in my opinion, the highlight of the meal! It's a must for me when I go to Barcelona, a small oasis in the big city where I feel like nourishing myself!

    (Translated by Google) Fast service, excellent food, very delicious pastries but the space between chairs is a little narrow and every time you get up you can disturb the next-door diner. Right price ? (Original) Servicio rápido, comida excelente, repostería muy rica pero el espacio entre sillas es un poco estrecho y cada vez que te levantas puedes molestar al comensal de al lado. Precio correcto ?

  • 5/5 Carlos N. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Great place to eat real food. And not the one that is fashionable. They have been offering delicious, substantial and cheap menus for many years. Today I ate a cauliflower cream with ginger; Millet cake with sweet potato, vegetables and azuki; and for dessert, a cake is coconut without flour. It was all spectacular, plus all the water you want. 12 euros and I paid something and it seemed too good for how much I ate. Emphasize that the attention at all times was impeccable, from whom I served the food, to who charged me. They care to know about your experience. I really recommend it and will repeat fixed. (Original) Estupendo sitio para comer real food. Y no de la que está de moda. Tienen muchísimos años ofreciendo menús riquísimos, sustanciosos y a buen precio. Hoy comí una crema de coliflor con jengibre; pastel de mijo con boniato, verduras y azukis; y de postre, una tarta se coco sin harina. Estaba todo espectacular, más toda el agua que quieras. 12 euros y algo pagué y me pareció demasiado bien para lo mucho que comí. Destacar que la atención en todo momento fue impecable, desde quien me servía la comida, hasta quien me cobraba. Se preocupan por saber de tu experiencia. Realmente lo recomiendo y repetiré fijo.

    This is a place with real food and where you feel the connection to the people who made it. Unique and applaudable concept of macrobiotic eating, quiet and homey ambience, and some of the best vegan desserts I’ve ever had. Generous serving size. Best vegan restaurant in Barcelona by a mile. Menu of the day got 13,9€.

    The food is healthy and tasty. Good range of options available in their menu and generous serving sizes. Affordable, good price for what it offers. Complimentary tea and filtered water included. So happy to see places like this (real food) becoming more popular! I loved everything and I wish we had a restaurant like this in Australia. Certainly will be back in my next visit to Barcelona :)

  • 4/5 Aura D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The food is a 10, the treatment of the wonderful staff, but the workers do not wear the mask and the tables do not keep the safety distance, it is the only thing for which I have not felt comfortable. I will also return when the outbreaks and the danger of contagion in BCN are controlled (Original) La comida un 10, el trato del personal maravilloso, pero los trabajadores no llevan la mascarilla y las mesas no guardan la distancia de seguridad, es lo único por lo que no me he sentido agusto.
