Healthy, innovative restaurants are popular in places like California & Hawaii (both places I've called home), but Flax & Kale simply does it better! I'd be so bold as to even say maybe even THE BEST!
My husband and I were in Barcelona for a short 33 hours to attend an FC Barcelona match at Camp Nou before returning to Paris than back to California, and thanks to Yelp, we discovered this wonderful restaurant! Not only does Teresa Carles and her team do delicious, creative healthy cuisine well, they have been pioneers in the health food industry long before it even became "hip" in California (since 1979)! We were so impressed, the next day we went to the Flax & Kale Passage AND stopped by Teresa's juice bar to fuel our bodies up for a day of turbo sightseeing before our flight!
I could go on and on about how impressive their menu is, how delicious and creative their appetizers, entrées, desserts, and beverages are, and how beautiful the restaurant is, from their multi-level seating areas to their intimate private dining rooms, and the outdoor garden patio! The whole experience blew us away despite the fact that this type of cuisine (i.e. flexitarian/vegetarian/vegan/plant-based) is normal for us!
Our dinner highlights:
* Grilled Watermelon
* Funghi Coconut Toast
* Roasted Carrots & Avocado Salad
* Supertagliatelle
* Coco Masala Chai Ice Cream (Yes, somehow we made room for dessert as we couldn't pass up trying their plant-based healthy ice creams!)
The service here was very friendly and our server, Francisco, was fantastic! If you live in Barcelona, I truly envy you! We can't wait to come back here again! Oh, and I will surely be writing reviews for the F&K Passage and Teresa's locations too. Ok, done swooning now... ;)
