"If the words “plant-based” and “eatery” trigger an allergic reaction, you’re not alone. Most vegan restaurants in Barcelona serve six sad spins on hummus that all taste the same, followed by a selection of gluten- and dairy-free desserts with the consistency of sawdust. And then there’s Fronda Pasaje. You’d need to be a hardened carnivore (and by hardened, we mean your arteries), not to be tickled by what this wine bar newcomer to the Born district is doing with vegetables and macrobiotics. Like the watermelon tiradito with lacto-fermented tomato and wasabi almonds, that has the texture of red tuna, mixed with a sweet, spicy sourness that makes you devour it faster than a lion with a fresh antelope. You don’t need to be a vegan to want a piece of this—and if you are one, this is a spot worth traveling to Spain for." - isabelle kliger, isabelle kliger, isabelle kliger, isabelle kliger, isabelle kliger, isabelle kliger, isabelle kliger, isabelle kliger, isabelle kliger
