Guy’s Best Healthy Places in Barcelona

30th October 2024 Leave a Comment

Guy shares the Best Healthy Places in Barcelona

Londoner and serial entrepreneur, Guy has been living in Barcelona for nearly ten years now. His businesses focus on products that benefit people’s health, he is currently the founder of Upraising – a functional mushroom company delivering mushroom coffee throughout the UK and Europe.

Blending organic, speciality coffee with functional mushrooms and other adaptogens, Upraising’s products support focus and productivity, energy and performance and balance and well-being.

In addition, Guy is also involved with the brand new gut health app GØT – the one-stop app for a holistic, gut-friendly lifestyle.

Given all this focus on healthy living including eating and drinking right, Guy has compiled his go-to healthy places in Barcelona with us. The once hard-to-find healthy eating options have filled out in recent years.

Brunch options at Bloome by Sasha

BLOOME BY SASHA
Via Laietana 45, 08003
Pg Sant Joan 80, 08010
Avenida Gaudí 45, 08025

From their beautiful interiors to their gluten-free cakes, everything is given the personal touch by Sasha the founder behind Bloome. Even the ceramic bowls and cups you eat and drink out of are made by her. Everything here is gluten-free (modern gluten can be inflammatory to everyone, not just a few) with the bread being baked in-house. I recommend the classic smashed avocado toast on gluten-free sourdough – with a cup of mushroom coffee of course.
There are now three locations throughout the city and you can also get a loaf of gluten-free bread to take home.

MICELIO
Paseo Sant Joan, 80, 08025
instagram.com/miceliobysasha
Bloome’s elegant sister with more of an evening feel, but the same emphasis on healthy, delicious gluten-free bites. The sharing platters are great for social dining and they have an extensive selection of carefully curated mocktails so you won’t feel like you’re missing out if you’re not drinking. They host events and talks so check their social media for more.

The bar at Frizzant

FRIZZANT
Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 692, 08010
instagram.com/wearefrizzant
A self-proclaimed oasis for the well-being of the body, mind and soul. This is the place to be for yoga but also for a great lunch where you can pick and mix from their daily changing, home-cooked dishes. They have also just opened up in Alella so be sure to check them out if you happen to be there.

Faire in Barcelona

FAIRE
Carrer Girona 81,08009
instagram.com/fairebrunch
One of the most conscious eateries in Barcelona was created to have a positive impact. With sustainability at its core, enjoy a completely vegetarian menu with no compromise at all on taste. They even purchase one tree on your behalf for every order, so enjoy the great brunch and feel good about your contribution to the planet.

Also if you choose plant-based milk over dairy, they give you a discount on the amount you pay rather than charge you more as is normally the case!

GÜD
Carrer d’En Giralt de Pellicer 4, 08003
instagram.com/gudbarcelona
This is a hidden gem. You may have passed it often, hidden in an alley just behind Santa Catarina market. Everything here is both gluten and sugar-free – something that you may find hard to believe when trying the ice lollies, cakes and cookies. Perfect for a healthy and delicious treat.

LŌV KOMBUCHA
www.lovkombucha.com
instagram.com/lovferments
Not a place in itself, but found in many of the best ones in Barcelona. This is the purest and best-tasting kombucha in Barcelona and is great for your gut. No artificial sweeteners unlike many of the more commercial alternatives which can harm your gut bacteria. Lovingly brewed in the Poble Nou district you can’t get more local or more refreshing. You can also find them in Ametller Origen.

GREEN SPOT
Carrer de la Reina Cristina 12, 08003
grupotragaluz.com/restaurantes/the-green-spot/
instagram.com/thespotbarcelona
Vegetarian food for everyone whether you’re a vegetarian or not and all in a beautifully designed setting. They have a wood oven which adds another level of taste to their seasonal dishes.

HONEST GREENS
www.honestgreens.com
instagram.com/honestgreens
With various locations around Barcelona, this small chain does real food, fast, healthy and delicious. Eat in or takeaway – perfect for a picnic on the beach!  If there’s a queue download their app and you can order through there and skip the wait.

Outside Flax & Kale Passage

Outside Flax & Kale

FLAX & KALE

For healthy food in great surroundings in various locations, check out these local institutions. And don’t worry, they have a lot more than kale to offer! They take a flexitarian approach – mainly plant-based but with some oily fish if you want to up your Omega 3.

Some places feel like they’ve been frozen in tim Some places feel like they’ve been frozen in time—in the best way possible. 🪑🍽️

At Cal Pau Xich, it’s marble tabletops, bentwood chairs, Estrella bottles next to vintage motorbikes, and mirrors that whisper stories of another era.

The food? Honest and generous. Creamy mushroom lasagna. Chargrilled lamb chops with padron peppers. A silky flan with a dollop of cream that tastes like someone’s abuela still works the kitchen.

A proper Catalan gem that doesn’t fuss, just feeds you well.

📍Avinguda de Catalunya, BV-2127

Hola Coffee, Madrid ☕️ 📍Calle del Dr. Fourq Hola Coffee, Madrid ☕️
📍Calle del Dr. Fourquet, 33
Minimalist, confident, and just the right kind of cool. The kind of place where the coffee’s excellent, the croissants are glossy, and yes — they serve an iced coffee with olive oil.
@holacoffee 

Design-led, barista-driven, and packed to the rafters with oat milk. A must if you like your coffee with a bit of bite and a lot of style.

When the meze arrives at Ali Ocakbaşı, it’s no When the meze arrives at Ali Ocakbaşı, it’s not a starter—it’s a ceremony. Smoky aubergine, creamy yogurt, grilled meats kissed by fire, and the crispiest künefe in Barcelona.

This isn’t just dinner. It’s a full-on Anatolian experience 🇹🇷✨

@casajuliomadrid : a crimson-clad portal to proper @casajuliomadrid : a crimson-clad portal to proper old-school Madrid.
Tomato salad dripping in oil, oversized croquetas, garlicky chistorra with golden potatoes, a cold caña, and just enough chaos behind the bar to feel alive.
No fusion. No foam. Just flavor.

✨ Own Your Pleasure ✨ A feast for the senses c ✨ Own Your Pleasure ✨
A feast for the senses curated by Erika Lust at @la_culturehouse – where art, desire, and food meet in bold, provocative beauty. From the strawberry and elderflower bites to the unapologetically decadent “Vagina Cake” by @dontpanikitsveganik, every detail was a celebration of taste, form, and freedom.

📍Batea Barcelona — Gran Via, 605 Michelin 202 📍Batea Barcelona — Gran Via, 605
Michelin 2025 recommended and absolutely deserved.

Between the Betanzos tortilla drowning in prawn head jus and the delicately plated ceviche, Batea balances tradition with a polished, confident creativity. It’s seafood-forward but far from predictable.

Highlights:
🦐 Tortilla with prawns
🥒 Flawless ceviche
🥖 Bread + algae butter = don’t skip it
🌿 Falafel of algae & bluefin tuna (!)

Their design nods to the nostalgic brasseries of old, but this is very much Barcelona now. Grab a table. Order generously.

Contracorrent Bistró has a new (ish) spot in Grà Contracorrent Bistró has a new (ish) spot in Gràcia. A melding of Catalan and Italian flavours and a focus on ingredients. As highlighted by the row of vines from the family estate that are suspended from the ceiling. 
The choice is between two tasting menus. Of course my friend and I selected the largest one!
A flurry of small plates and bowls ensued. Just the way I like it, lots of variety but I didn’t have to waddle out of there. 
The warm and knowledgeable service was the cherry on top.

I feel like the one coffee shop per block thing ha I feel like the one coffee shop per block thing has been done ad nauseam - instead I would like to petition for one cheese shop per block. Found this darling one on the corner from one of my favourite restaurants.
What about you? Do you think we have reached peak coffee shop saturation in the city?
