Plant in eco pot — sustainability values at Faire Barcelona, Eixample

Sustainable Restaurant in Barcelona — Created with Care for People and the Planet

Consciously crafted vegetarian food rooted in sustainability, seasonality, circularity, and community.

Consciously crafted vegetarian food rooted in sustainability, seasonality, circularity, and community.

At Faire, Barcelona's vegetarian restaurant in Eixample, sustainability is not a feature — it is our foundation. It lives in the way we source, the way we cook, the way we treat people, and the way we show gratitude to the Earth.

We believe what’s on the plate should nourish the body, the planet, and the community around it. This belief is woven through our Manifesto, where

“every plate is an opportunity to feel good and do good.”

Faire was created to prove something simple and powerful:
that a restaurant can be beautiful, welcoming, and thriving — while being deeply responsible.

This is our way of giving back.
This is what “good” means to us.

Our Conscious Living Philosophy

2.1. Good for the Planet

100% vegetarian.

Built on seasonal and local sourcing.

Rooted in circularity — from soil to plate and back to soil through composting.

Every choice made with the intention to reduce emissions, protect ecosystems, and regenerate nature.

2.2. Good for People

A welcoming space for everyone — families, neighbours, solo diners, travellers, and pets.

A team-first culture that prioritises wellbeing, respect, inclusion, and work-life balance.

Spaces designed for slow moments, nourishment, and connection.

2.3. Good for Our Community

Faire is built on connection — with producers, with Barcelona, with our guests, and with each other.

We invest in local farms, circular systems, small makers, and ethical collaborations.

We believe that sustainability grows through community.

Seasonal. Local. Honest.

At our vegetarian brunch and tapas restaurants, our food is only as good as the people who grow it. That’s why we work with producers who care for the land, respect biodiversity, and craft with intention — values fully aligned with our Manifesto and our sustainability commitments.

We prioritise Catalan and Spanish producers to reduce transport emissions and support the circular economy.

Cooking With the Rhythm of the Seasons

We cook the way nature intended: with what the season gives us. Our menus evolve with the Mediterranean calendar — spring greens, summer tomatoes, autumn roots, winter citrus and brassicas.

This is how we reduce transport, celebrate local biodiversity, and serve food that feels good at its core.

We prioritise plant-forward cooking at Faire. Brunch & Drinks and Faire. Tapas & Wine because vegetarian cuisine has a significantly lower carbon footprint than meat-based menus — a principle highlighted in our sustainability document.

Nothing Good Goes to Waste

Every peel, stalk, skin, stem, and leftover has a purpose. At our vegetarian restaurants in Barcelona, we design our kitchen systems to minimise waste, reuse ingredients creatively, and compost everything possible.
