The Ultimate Guide to Vegetarian Food Tours in Barcelona

Enjoy the foodie fun in Barcelona without the meat! These are the very best vegetarian food tours Barcelona has to offer.

There’s so much to see (and eat!) in Barcelona. While we might be a bit biased, we think the best way to experience the city is with a food tour. After all, what’s better than learning about one of Europe’s most beautiful cities while enjoying local food?

Although Spain’s well-known for many of its meat-centric dishes, there’s still a lot of veggie-filled goodness to try. Here’s a breakdown of the best vegetarian tastes that are included on our vegetarian food tours in Barcelona. Don’t miss our Vegetarian Guide to Eating in Barcelona, either.

    Guys, “Best Vegetarian Food Tours” shouldn’t have anchovies on it…! Was interested, but it’s hard to trust that I’ll get vegetarian food if you’re listing fish on here.

      Never fear, Matt, we won’t lead you astray! Those are tastes on our pescatarian-friendly tours (the last two listed). For vegetarian options, stick with the first three tours in the post 🙂

      Vegetarians are welcome on many of our tours, though some dishes do include eggs! For more vegan options, our Gracia Neighborhood Food Tour is the best bet!

    Which of these would you recommend for kids (8 and 10 year old adventurous vegetarian eaters)? The winery tour looks lovely but not sure there would be enough to keep their interest.

      Hi Jessica! Our Gracia Neighborhood Food & Market Tour (http://devourbarcelonafoodtours.com/kid-friendly-activities-in-barcelona/) or our Barcelona for Kids Tour would be great choices!
