Tip: Do not forget that many of the vegetarian restaurants you will see in Barcelona, often also offer vegan dishes! We recommend eating some little pinxtos or tapas in the later afternoon to curb your appetite and then head out to eat the Spanish way - after 9pm. Another thing to remember is that Barcelona is a city that loves to go out, so do yourself a favor and book a table at the particular restaurant you want to visit!
