More and more people are following a gluten-free diet, a vegan diet—or both. Whether for health reasons, personal choice, or food intolerances, the good news is that in Barcelona you can enjoy a rich, creative, and safe gastronomy without sacrificing flavor.
In this article, we’ll show you how to enjoy the best of both worlds: vegan and gluten-free dining. We’ll also share some recommendations—including our own En Ville Restaurant—where this combination is not an exception, but a true culinary experience.
Is it Possible to Find Vegan and Gluten-Free Food in Barcelona?
Yes, and more and more every day. While combining both restrictions may seem complicated, Barcelona’s food scene has adapted to offer dishes that meet these requirements without compromising on quality or taste.
What Does Vegan and Gluten-Free Mean?
-
Vegan: free of animal products (meat, fish, dairy, eggs, honey).
-
Gluten-Free: free of wheat, barley, rye, and oats (unless certified gluten-free), with no risk of cross-contamination.
Many restaurants are expanding their menus to include dishes that meet both conditions, using seasonal vegetables, legumes, rice, nuts, or alternative flours such as rice or chickpea flour.

Carry a card in Spanish explaining your dietary needs if you don’t speak the language.
