Vegan sushi is such a delight, and Roots & Rolls in Barcelona really hits the spot. This is another place that Mother HH and I visited on two separate occasions, in May and November 2022, because we just couldn’t resist a second go.

The popcorn is probably my favourite dish, and the only thing I’ve ordered on both visits. The cauliflower is so tender inside and so perfectly coated in togarashi spice, it’s absolutely sublime. It comes with aioli and sriracha, which are perfect accompaniments. Mother HH loves this too, it’s the key element that lured us back for a second visit.

These are some mushroom rolls which used to be on the menu but aren’t any more, unfortunately. They were good, but I appreciate they need to have some variety in the menu. All the other items were consistent over visits in May and November 2022.

These are the jumpin’ jacks, which contain chicken and jackfruit, with BBQ and aioli flavours as well. They were tasty and filling.

These are the geisha, which also have chicken along with avocado. You can see they’re coated in panko as well, which is always a real delight when you get that crispy, crunchy bite. They’re drizzled in chilli sauce, but it’s not overpowering.

And here are the hip caroots, which contain carrots, peanut sauce, avocado, and some other vegetables. I always prefer something with mock chicken in it, but these ones were tasty as well, and the peanut sauce was punchy.

On one of those visits I had room for a dessert and treated myself to the choc avo brownie. Oh, it was good! It’s hard to find a good brownie in Prague, so I’m always on the look out for one on holiday, and this was properly fudgy and dense, like a brownie should be.
I’m sure I’ll be revisiting this restaurant again on our next trip to Barcelona!
