Without a doubt, the hamburger It is a benchmark of world gastronomy. And to attract carnivores and burger lovers, many restaurants offer vegetable medallions with quinoa, chickpeas and tofu or with meat options such as Beyond Meat or Heura.
Next, we make a selection of three places to try and satisfy that craving for a hamburger but without meat.
Vegan Food Junkie Bar
In 2017, in Amsterdam, he opened the first Vegan Junk Food Bar, with a defined idea: to offer a vegan and quality version of fast food. And although, years ago it was synonymous with grotesque hamburgers and sugary sodas. Today the food junk food has the go-ahead and is partly thanks to VJFB.
The concept, which has crossed borders, has its fifth branch in Barcelona. The hamburgers in this case, are of the more risky and peculiarwith steak nobeef 3.0 or fried cod lekkerbeck, all of them are accompanied by the most colorful sauces and breads. For example, the call beastie it features a shawarma medallion between pink buns and is complete with lettuce, jalapeños, pomegranate, flower petals and a purple garlic sauce that spills over on the first bite.

green and burger
Green and Burger is a classic, hands down. Despite their young age, after raising their blinds in the midst of a pandemic in front of the Sagrada Família, they already have a reputation with their top notch burgers. In total, there are four vegan burgers and another four vegetarian ones that can be adapt to taste. They change the conventional cheese for the vegan one, and that’s it.
The Passion Burger It is a great option: lentils and sweet potato, with spinach, tomato confit, basil sauce on curry bread, accompanied with a legendary artisan ketchup. On the menu, they also have the Vita Burger together with Heura, spinach, guacamole, Cheddar cheese and mustard sauce on charcoal bread, for a final result reminiscent of chicken. Stay tuned for the Energy Burger Quinoa and beetroot with hummus, arugula and grilled zucchini. I always come back to her! And paired with a serving of their roasted sweet potatoes with green mayonnaise, it’s one of the best combinations I’ve ever had.
Address: Plaça Sagrada Família, 3, 08013. Barcelona
vrutal
On the Rambla de Poblenou, there is Vrutal and it is one of my favorite hamburger restaurants. Abundant and very tasty, they use a perfect brioche bread and special “house” sauces to accompany it. I recommend The Middle Eastern Burgera falafel burger, hummus, tzatiki sauce, arugula, tomato and pickled onion. It’s a matches brutal of chickpeas, onion and cilantro between breads.
Another special is the Mexican-style jackfruit burger with achiote, avocado, cilantro and pickled onion. In this case, mayonnaise with habanero is the distinctive and ideal brand for lovers of spiciness. There is also variants with tofu, mushrooms and Beyond Meat. They have craft beers on tap, gin and tonics, and a few seasonal kombucha options. In short, Vrutal is delicious, homemade and at a good price. There’s a reason it’s so popular in the neighborhood.
