barcelona, spain : juicy jones.

ah, vegan eating in spain. it was surprisingly not as difficult as i had imagined. however, that didn't mean i was going to skip the only vegan restaurant in barcelona : juicy jones.

juicy jones is a juice bar & vegan joint. they've got a lot of typical vegan fare (i.e., hummus), but also some more unique items that are not what you get here. and there was no fake meat. (woo!)

here's me! carrot + orange juice.

the dining area is in a psychedelic bomb shelter type area in the back of the restaurant. 

this was erin's first experience at a vegan restaurant. and she (surprisingly!) enjoyed it quite a bit. we shared everything so we (aka, i) could taste as much as possible.

here's what we had ...

tofu tapa :

a few days without any major protein & i'm craving tofu like woah. this hit the spot w/ it's tasty balsamic/asian-inspired sauce. 

olive tapenade tapa :

i wish this had come with pan ... but alas, it did not. it was your basic tapenade of chopped up olives. i combined it with bites of the tofu that didn't have the asian sauce on them. yum.

soba noodle salad :

more tofu deliciousness. erin & i both enjoyed this quite a bit.

daily special thali plate :

everyday, the chef creates a "thali plate" of awesome indian food.

1. each bite of this was super flavorful. (and a great starter for someone who hasn't experienced a lot of vegan food.)

2. i loved the metal military tray keeping everything neat and organized. 

3. i want to eat this every day. 

yeah, we had a weird assortment of plates. but so what!

there are two locations of juicy jones. both of which are located within steps of la boqueria, a crazy/beautiful market & a must stop in this lovely city ... for some fresh juices (of all fruit varieties)! there's also several non-vegan market items, as you can imagine. keep your eyes & nose shut.

ok, come on, people. if you are a vegan visiting barcelona, you obviously have to try the only vegan restaurant. completely different than vegan joints in the u.s. and definitely worth the visit.
