Sal y Salvia Bistro is one of those neighborhood places that feels very easy to like from the moment you step in through their doors, and worth crossing the city for.

Behind it are chef Pasquale and Veronica, a naturopath, and the whole project is built around a very clear idea: cook with what is actually in season, and keep it as local as possible. They’re not interested in putting something on the menu just because people expect to see it there if it has to travel halfway around the world to arrive in Barcelona.

That philosophy is reflected throughout the menu. The food is vegetarian, with plenty of vegan options, and vegetables are very much at the center of everything rather than treated as an afterthought. And the dishes are beautiful!

On our visit, we loved the hash browns with harissa, easily some of the best hash browns I’ve had, as well as a beautiful toast and their playful take on a (vegan and delicious!) gilda, which recently received an honorable mention in the neighborhood tapas contest. Another dish worth looking out for is the purple sweet potato coca, made with chickpea.

It feels like a small local bistro, but a very modern one. There’s specialty coffee from Barcelona roaster Animal Coffee, natural wine, and ice cream from Delacrem, all chosen with the same care as the food.

During the week, their lunch menu is one of the big draws and has already built up a loyal group of regulars. On weekends, they switch into breakfast and brunch mode.

They also organize private events on a regular basis, birthdays, family dinners, team events, and more. If you’re looking for a space, with great food, then make sure to reach out to them.

What I like most about Sal y Salvia is that the concept feels so solid and natural. The food is thoughtful, the sourcing is deliberate, and the atmosphere is so friendly and welcoming that it’s easy understand why people come back. And they have plenty more up their sleeve, so make sure to check them out!
