How to find good traditional kitchen and vegan food at Spain Costa Brava vegan?

[InStrictConfidence]

Hi,

I love good food and meat. No fish, no seafood. Problem: my travel partner is militant vegan - moral reasons because of animal cruelty and suffering. I understand, respect and accept.

How to find good traditional kitchen and vegan food at one place? I can eat vegan but don't want the whole time. And don't want to go to 2 restaurants.

Any recommendations?

thanks!

That is really specific. I don't think this is a big community, and I haven't been here a week. I doubt many will know the answer for that region.

I would say that you look up restaraujt reviews online as well as menus and find something that works.

Just look on Google maps Tripadvisor, or Yelp for vegan restaurants in whatever city you’re in. Your friend is probably going to have to settle for some vegetarian and not vegan options. I heard Spain has good seafood, you’re crazy

I feel sick, or rather, I feel nauseated - no seafood for me.

I was there last year, not vegan but I do enjoy a lot of their dishes. Try: B12, Veggana, Integral, and Volver. Thats all I can think of atm. Have fun and be safe! ✌🏻

Costa Brava is actually a good compromise destination for you two. Look for:
- Mixed menus: Search on Google Maps/TripAdvisor for “vegan options” + town name (e. g., *Tossa de Mar*, *Girona*, *Cadaqués*). Many traditional restaurants now mark vegan plates.
- Catalan places with veggie twists: Dishes like *pa amb tomàquet*, grilled veggies, salads, rice dishes, and *escudella*-style soups often have vegan versions, while you can still order meat mains.
- Tapas bars: Perfect for sharing – you get meat tapas, your partner gets patatas bravas, padrón peppers, pan con tomate, olives, etc., often easily made fully vegan.

Towns especially good for this mix: Girona, Begur, Palamós, Llafranc, Cadaqués. In cities like Girona, you’ll find restaurants clearly labeling vegetarian/vegan options while still serving meat, so you avoid splitting up or eating just one way the whole trip 🚗

Not so bad.
