Verifiably Safe, Either a 100% dedicated kitchen (no allergen on premises) or actively certified by a recognised accreditation body for this allergen.

Biocenter has operated as a fully vegetarian restaurant since 1980. The official website describes it as 'uno de los restaurantes vegetarianos y veganos más antiguos de Barcelona.' HappyCow categorises it as Vegetarian type, and no meat or fish appears in any reviewed dish across 148 HappyCow reviews. The kitchen is structurally dedicated to vegetarian food — no meat on the premises.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Multiple independent reviewers (2023–2026) confirm that vegan dishes are clearly marked on the menu with a 'green V with leaf' symbol. One reviewer (CarolinaHardman, Nov 2024) estimates 95% of the menu is vegan. However, HappyCow also tags the venue 'Lacto,' indicating some dairy-containing dishes are served in the same kitchen. No Vegan Society certification is documented.

Marked menu, shared, Allergen-marked menu and aware staff but shared fryer / prep. Cross-contamination risk acknowledged.

Vegan dishes — the majority of the menu — are labelled with a green V symbol, which implicitly flags them as dairy-free. Some lacto-vegetarian items containing dairy are present in the same kitchen (HappyCow 'Lacto' tag). A separate Biocenter satellite venue (Green&Burger by Biocenter, Sagrada Família) is explicitly noted as good for dairy-free across two community safety reports, but that is a distinct location.

Available on request, No marked menu but staff will accommodate. Quality varies by who is working that shift.

The kitchen at Pintor Fortuny uses seitan (wheat gluten) extensively — multiple HappyCow reviewers ordered seitan sticks, seitan steak, seitan chimichurri, and similar dishes. The venue cannot be considered a low-risk gluten environment. The official website states allergen information is available for all dishes, and the site's search snippet references 'vegan, gluten free and sugar free options' for desserts specifically; one community reviewer noted 'gluten free options.' No marked gluten-free menu, dedicated GF fryer, or dedicated prep area is documented for this location. Note: the associated Green&Burger by Biocenter (Sagrada Família) has its own GF profile with marked menu and reported dedicated fryer, but is a separate venue.
