For an elegant and unforgettable experience,The Green Spot fits the bill to a T! Cavernous and tastefully furnished interiors combines with a pared down, carefully curated vegetarian menu.

It wouldn’t be the ultimate guide if we didn’t put the cherry on top of the cake. And that cake is not metaphorical. This bakery in Gracia district is somewhere trapped between one of Katy Perry’s video clips and Homer Simpson’s land of chocolate. Everything looks and taste delicious! Cupcakes, cheesecakes, brownies, cookies, carrot cake – you name it!
The best part? Everything is vegan and delicious. Best to take two portions, just in case!
