Fres Co – Healthy all-you-can-eat restaurant

Catalan food is great… but might be a little bit greasy. Fres Co is a great option to get a healthier lunch or dinner, with fresh Mediterranean ingredients and an unbeatable price. 

There are a dozen Fres Co restaurants all over the city (see the entire list here), and they are always full at lunch time, specially with people from office buildings nearby, either to eat there or to take away (most of the Fres Co restaurants offer that option too, at an even cheaper price). Once you try them, you’ll understand their success.

These all you can-eat-restaurants have a great salad bar: fresh lettuces, tomatoes, cucumbers and carrots… plus boiled eggs, pasta, seeds, olives… You decide your combination. It is by far my favorite part of the menu. The fresh spinach are usually great. If you are a vegetarian (which I am not), this might be a kind of last supper paradise. 

There are also a couple of soups to choose from. In summer-time, cold ‘gazpacho’ is usually one of them, and it’s good. Complete that with some meat or fish, pasta or pizza and grilled veggies, and keep some room in your belly for ice-cream or fruit. 

Every time I go there I get out feeling both that every cent has been worth it, and that my body is suddenly overdosed with great vitamins!

Oh, and check the 2×1 or children free options they have from time to time too.
