Delicious Vegetarian Catalan Food You’ll Love (And Where to Try It!)

Nadine Braehmer • April 30, 2025

Barcelona is a dream for food lovers—and yes, even vegetarians! While Catalan cuisine is often associated with jamón and seafood, there’s a world of delicious vegetarian Catalan food just waiting to be explored. From hearty comfort dishes to fresh market bites, Barcelona has plenty to offer if you know where to look.

That’s where we come in.


At Foodprint Tours, we offer an authentic food tour through the vibrant streets of Barcelona, where you'll taste the best local dishes—including vegetarian options at every stop. Our passionate local guide, Anis, will lead you on a journey through Catalan culture, history, and flavor, all while making sure vegetarians feel fully included and satisfied.

What Vegetarian Catalan Dishes Can You Try?

Here are just a few must-try vegetarian dishes you might discover on our food tour:


  • Pa amb tomàquet – A simple yet iconic Catalan dish of rustic bread rubbed with ripe tomato, garlic, olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Sometimes served with cheese or grilled vegetables.
  • Escalivada – Roasted eggplant, red peppers, and onions drizzled with olive oil. Smoky, silky, and delicious.
  • Truita de patates – The classic Spanish potato omelet, a staple in Catalonia as well. Vegetarian comfort food at its best.
  • Calçots with romesco sauce – A seasonal treat: sweet grilled onions dipped in nutty, garlicky romesco sauce. A vegetarian's dream!
  • Crema Catalana – End your meal with this Catalan take on crème brûlée—a creamy custard with a caramelized sugar crust.


And yes, we make sure you try them in hidden local spots loved by locals, not the usual tourist traps.

We know how hard it can be to find vegetarian options that go beyond a side salad or grilled vegetables. That’s why our Barcelona food tour is thoughtfully curated to include vegetarian-friendly tastings at every stop. When you book with Foodprint Tours, you don’t have to worry—you’ll get a full cultural and culinary experience, no meat required.
