Moving on to the next position on our list, Teresa Carles. This restaurant has already become Barcelona’s staple and not without reason.

Barcelona Tour Guide

Perry Tours

Perry Tours

Hello! My name is Perry, originally from the heart of Belgium, famed for its waffles and fries. However, it wasn't just the call of the Spanish sun that brought to Barcelona, but rather a captivating encounter with a German-Uruguayan beauty in Thailand. This led to the birth of our son in Ibiza, and eventually, more than two decades ago, I found myself in the vibrant city of Barcelona. My passion for meeting people from different nationalities and cultures, coupled with an insatiable appetite for adventure, has empowered me to transform ordinary days into extraordinary stories. In 2020, I embarked on a new journey by starting my own sightseeing company, showcasing the wonders of Barcelona to people from all over the world. With nine years of guiding experience in this magnificent city, I am thrilled to share its beauty and hidden gems with you.

5. Santoni Cafe

Posted by SANTONI on Thursday, October 10, 2019

Last but not least, we come to this vegan gem of Barcelona — Santoni Cafe. This tiny, centrally located cafe is a treat for all the vegans, especially those who have a sweet tooth and are craving some lovely homemade pastries. The place itself looks rather humble with only a handful of seating spots, though its exterior and interior gives a homey vibe. It definitely feels like a place you would step into everyday on your way to work and grab a cup of coffee and a croissant, while asking the waiter — who you know by his first name — how his wife and kids are doing. Although, Santoni Cafe also serves savory breakfast options, it is most well-known for its sweet masterpieces. If you wish to treat your vegan friend — and yourself of course — to a cruelty-free cheesecake with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, Santoni Cafe is a place you cannot miss.

Santoni Cafe

Address: Ronda de Sant Antoni, 63, 08011 Barcelona, Spain

Price: from 5 USD / 4.65 EUR

Opening Hours: 8 am to 8.30 pm, closed on Sundays

Duration: less than an hour

Contact: +34 935 03 17 43
