A taste of Kosher Barcelona (and Vegan) guide in Barcelona

Barcelona's main kosher and Jewish-friendly dining spots include El Falafel de Shani (kosher falafel at La Boqueria), Ben Ben Kosher House (kosher supermarket), and Taim (kosher Israeli catering) — with vegan-friendly options like Debby's Good Veggie Food nearby. Whether you're looking for a kosher meal after a day exploring the Gothic Quarter, provisions for Shabbat, or simply a taste of Israeli cuisine, Barcelona has a growing selection of Jewish-owned restaurants, kosher supermarkets, and welcoming community spaces.


Imagine wandering through the colourful aisles of La Boqueria, Barcelona's famous market. The scent of fresh fruit, spices and seafood fills the air as locals and visitors weave between the stalls. Then, tucked away among the bustle, you discover El Falafel de Shani — a little corner of Israel in the heart of the city.

Fresh pita, crispy falafel, creamy hummus, shakshuka, sabich and vibrant salads make this one of the city's favourite stops for both locals and visitors. Whether you're looking for a quick lunch or a relaxed meal after exploring El Call, El Falafel de Shani offers authentic Israeli flavours just a short walk from Barcelona's medieval Jewish Quarter.


For a more contemporary dining experience, Taim brings together Mediterranean and Israeli cuisine in a modern, welcoming setting. Their menu celebrates fresh ingredients, generous sharing plates, grilled vegetables, shawarma, homemade hummus and seasonal specials, making it an excellent choice for families, couples and groups alike. Taim also prepares special Shabbat packages and can deliver kosher meals directly to your hotel, making it easy to enjoy a proper Shabbat dinner wherever you're staying in Barcelona.


Kosher Wine Tasting at Call Barcelona

Did you know Spain makes delicious kosher wine? Five hundred years after Jewish winemakers were expelled during the Inquisition, Spain — particularly the Priorat region near Barcelona — has built a genuine kosher wine industry.

Call Barcelona, a Judaica shop run by Chabad right in the heart of El Call, carries a curated selection of these kosher wines alongside books, Shabbat essentials, and other Jewish ritual items. As part of your Toldot Barcelona tour, we can arrange a wine tasting here, stopping into the shop for a chat with Dani, a wonderful member of the Chabad community — a small but memorable way to pair centuries of Jewish history with a taste of Spain's Jewish winemaking revival.

Not every traveller is looking for kosher certification, and Barcelona is one of Europe's leading vegan destinations.

Debby's has become one of our favourite recommendations. While not kosher certified, its entirely plant-based menu, fresh Mediterranean ingredients and creative dishes make it an excellent option for vegetarians, vegans, and anyone looking for a delicious, wholesome meal. They also cater for our event and seminars

hosted at Casa Adret and are a beautiful team!


Ben Ben Kosher House

If you're staying in an apartment or simply prefer to prepare your own meals, Ben Ben Kosher House is an essential stop. More than just a kosher supermarket, it offers fresh products, Israeli groceries, challot, wines, sweets and ready-made meals.

Travelling without a kitchen? Ben Ben also offers kosher catering and hotel delivery, allowing visitors to enjoy kosher meals throughout their stay in Barcelona with ease.
