In the menu of this novel “fast food” in Barcelona, you will not find any dish that contains ingredients that come from animals. This is the novelty that Vegan Junk Food Bar, VJFB, vegan junk food, has been offering since last November.
This innovative restaurant is located in Barcelona’s Born neighborhood, one of the most renowned for its cultural variety. Art galleries, artisans and cultural spaces adorn this area where this new and futuristic gastronomic alternative was born.
Stimulate your senses in a funky atmosphere in the middle of an urban jungle. You will find hospitality with the seal of sustainable authenticity. Everything you need to unite diners around vegan junk food, VJFB style.
What vegan junk food is like
Some describe it as boring. But when you peek into the Vegan Junk Food Bar at Manresa, 4, you change your mind. After crossing a corridor that mixes pop and psychedelic, you can sit at one of its tables amidst neon lights and graffiti on the walls.
Accompanied by loud music, you are sure to have many ideas in mind. Until you ask for the menu to order vegan junk food. A somewhat contradictory insurance concept.
There you can find the best alternatives to replace the traditional “burgers” or “pork ribs” and “sauces” typical of a traditional “fast food”. At VJFB you will be able to taste instead of these ingredients, tuber or legume extracts and other dishes that do not have any animal component. What you will be able to do is lick your fingers while eating an exquisite hamburger with colorful buns, among other delicacies.
It has been a complete success. This novel bar has generated acceptance among diners thanks to its menu. For example, the “Notorious Sumo”, a “Burger” that reminds you of one prepared with veal and chicken meat, but that actually has beet and peas. It has the great capacity to satiate you completely and much more, if you accompany it with french fries with toppings such as jalapeno peppers along with assorted sauces.
Vegan junk food delights
Others go crazy trying the “costillas”, made with 52 ingredients, including peas. They also offer pizzas, nachos, sashimi and calamari “a la romana” prepared with tapioca, which gives it a similar texture and appearance.
As for drinks, you can try the cold-pressed juices. However, you can also find cocktails and beer. The average price of the dish with drink is between 20 and 25 euros.
At Vegan Junk Food Bar they prepare all of these dishes, minus the pastries. Desserts and other delicacies are prepared at the vegan bakery La Besnéta, in Gràcia. Dare to try something different and delicious.
Address: Carrer de la Nau, 1, Carrer de Manresa, 4.
