Such a friendly place for a lunch - Edit
The owner knows everyone and is always friendly, standing at the door, having a chat with his customers. The oldest vegetarian restaurant in town serves a daily menu for 12 euro with a few courses incl bread and drinks. There are always vegan options. The food is simple and basic but healthy and tasty. Some staff speak English.

Genial - Edit
El trato es genial, todos son super amables y la cantidad del menú es perfecta, son tres platos y postre, lo cual te permite probar varias comidas y comer muy bien y a un precio súper asequible, 11€ todo. Fuimos un martes y nos dijeron que era el día vegano, así que podíamos comer de todo. La chica que nos atendió nos trajo un trocito de pastel de chocolate a mayores del postre que pedimos para que la probáramos y, cuando pagamos (lo hicimos con tarjeta) le dejamos propina y vimos como el jefe la sacaba en efectivo de la caja y se la daba, lo cual es importante también porque es un lugar en el que se respeta a los trabajadores. En resumen una experiencia genial, en la que todos fueron súper agradables.

Todo muy rico - Edit
Lástima que no viva cerca sino aun iría más, me encanta su comida y el trato de los trabajadores. Tres platos riquísimos y muy saludable, y un postre a escojer. Todo vegetariano y la mayoría vegano. Se llena bastante pero son ágiles sirviendo y se está a gusto.

I loved this meal! There are three or more options for each course; most of them vegan. Full house for the lunch service! So get there at the start if possible.

Bona opció - Edit

Buena comida, barato y rápido! - Edit
Arcoiris sirve comida vegetariana y en su carta deja claro cuales son veganos y hay normalmente más de una opción vegana por plato.
Read moreCada plato viene super rápido y caliente. Buen sabor.
Siempre está lleno sobre la hora de la comida, pero yendo solo o en 2 supongo que no hace falta reservar.
El menú cuesta 9,50€ (entrante, segundo y postre), pero tmb ofrecen comprar bonos de 10 comidas por 9 euros cada o 20 comidas por 8,50€ cada.
Buen sitio para comer a menudo durante la semana.
Pros: barato, ágil, ofrece 1+ opciones veganas por plato
Cons: atención un poco fría de los camareros

Friendly, welcoming - Edit
We arrived at the restaurant just before it closed, but were welcomed in. The menu was limited but fine. They had run out of the vegan third course, but substituted another dish. We enjoyed the meal. We appreciated the friendly service. By the way, the restaurant is also called Arc Iris on the storefront, their website and business cards, but Arco Iris on their menu.

Quite good vegetarian restaurant - Edit
The dishes are pretty good if you are vegetarian, they offer a menu with three dishes + desserts for a reasonable price. The problem is that the vegan options were few and don't seem to have the same quality as the vegan ones.

GREAT FOOD FOR PITTANCE - Edit
We enjoyed an excellent lunch in Arco Iris yesterday for only nine something euros. I called beforehand to make sure we can bring the dog in. The host told it's okay as long as our dog won't eat them up. This lightness continued when we arrived and the smiling host directed us to a corner table by a window to a busy street making us feel really welcome.
Read moreImmediately the waitress appeared by our table to inquire our first course (of four). The idea is not to order all at the same time and that's good because we were all famished and taking the time to decide all four at the moment would have taken a long time. And in one minute, I had a bowl of delicious vegetable consomme in front of me. After slurping that up, I was ready to make some big decisions.
This a vegetarian establishment. So there were a limited amount of vegan choices. For example, there was no vegan alternatives for the third course but all three choices for the second course were vegan. Therefore, I was able to build a delicious menu for me starting with consommé, then vegetable paella (best I ever have had), zucchini puré and to top it off with a baked apple. And my not so discriminate vegan/vegetarians friends had a delicious asparagus soup and a burger.
The place has a very cozy atmosphere with host making his rounds making sure that his guests are enjoying themselves. The big windows bring in a lot light. But this is not a place to stay forever as this is a very popular restaurant with a constant line of people waiting for a table. Maybe that's the reason they don't serve tea or coffee after the meal to expedite the turn-over of clients. I wish I've had one as after the lunch I needed to drive through heavy traffic to my hometown by the coast and I had to work on staying awake.
Pros: Food, Service, Decor
Cons: Limited choices for vegans, No coffee or tea

Very disappointed - Edit
The place is OK. they offer three dishes (starters, first dish and main dish) + dessert for 9.95 euros.
Read moreBut as a vegan I would not recommend it at all.
As it's been already said, none of the main dishes was vegan, so I had to take twice one of the first dish option, one was soup and the other one steamed carrot and beans.
So of course I was disappointed. I dont want to feel like a "weirdo" when I go to a vegetarian restaurant. But here it is the case.
The dishes are prepared beforehand so it's not possible to veganize them.
In some cases also I didnt really get why the dishes are not vegan, because it was for instance rice with vegetables and another one tempeh. So one sees they dont put much effort into it. Disappointing.
The dessert were also not vegan, only fruit they offer.
I would recommend any vegan to check other places in Barcelona (there are quite some) before trying this vegetarian restaurant.
Best,
Pros: cheap, fast
Cons: not vegan friendly at all

A no no for vegans! Little choice, bland food - Edit
Thoroughly disappointed. The food was all pre-prepared, uninspiring, bland. In a menu that boasted 4 courses, there were NO main meal or dessert options for vegans. When I asked if I could have the pizza made without cheese, I was told that all the food was already prepared and this would not be possible. I tried to reason, saying surely it wouldn't take that long to make one vegan pizza. They were having none of it. However, when I left, I noticed the two chefs sitting in the kitchen doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. As for dessert I was allowed a choice of fruit. And when I say fruit, I mean an unpeeled banana, or whole apple, presented on a plate, with a knife. Unbelievable.
Read moreThe customer service was also questionable. This is clearly a money-making business over above an establishment that provides a pleasant lunchtime experience. We were pushed to share a table when they got busy (we declined, but were made to feel bad doing so), and every course came within about 12 seconds of finishing the last one. Getting customers in and out seemed to be their priority.
I plan never to return.
Pros: Nice decor
Cons: Not suitable for vegans, Crap, uninspiring food, Bad customer service

Menú económico! - Edit
Ofrecen menú del día por 9,50€, gran variedad de platos (tres platos más postre) e incluso opciones veganas. El pan integral y el agua están incluidos en el precio. Tienen platos realmente exquisitos y otros realmente mediocres; suerte eligiendo. Carta solo en catalán pero el personal no tiene ningún problema en traducírtelo al castellano o inglés. El staff es muy amable. El único inconveniente, al menos en verano, es el insoportable calor dentro del local.

Great food and great service! - Edit
I went here after visiting Sagrada Familia and had the absolute best meal of my trip at Arco Iris. The four course vegetarian meal was delicious, creative, and fresh. There was plenty of variety in the choices so everyone could get something they wanted. There was a lot of great quality food for the very reasonable (9 euro) price. Additionally, the manager and waitstaff were friendly and made the experience one I won't forget. Our waitress was very sweet and helped me understand what the different dishes were in spite of my poor spanish. The dessert I ordered was not my favorite but since I was so full from the meal I was happy to leave having only a few bites of it. However, the manager noticed I hadn't finished it and while I was at the front paying, he offered me another dessert without me even mentioning not liking the first dessert. Considering every seat in the restaurant was full and he was not personally serving us I was beyond impressed that he noticed this small detail and went out of his way to make sure I was completely happy with the meal. You can't go wrong going here, I'd eat there every day!
