Delicious tasting menu - Edit
Very creative plant based food from the innovative Argentinean chef who runs this place. Make sure to reserve since this place is booked almost every night. The tasting menu is a good way to try the best of his dishes, although I think it is much better for vegetarians than for vegans. If you are vegan, choosing individual items such as the outstanding roasted cauliflower (almost never included in the tasting menu) might be a better bet.
bad service! average food - Edit
waiter was moody, service was terrible..We were told we'd get a table in 15, never did and ended up eating our meal off bar stools. Very uncomfortable experience.
plates were snatched as soon as finished.
Food was average, nothing amazing!
We didn't reserve a table so maybe if you reserve you might have a better experience.
Very good food - Edit
We ordered the dinner special here. It's seven courses including wine. Every course was very good on its own. Small portions, but you'll get seven of them and be full enough by the end. We liked the atmosphere very much. Not much light and a very small place too. We came without reservation, but were seated within 5 Minutes or so. Staff was okay too. I would go there again.
Pros: 7 Course special, Dimm atmosphere
Great food, but busy, with slow service - Edit
Sesamo is a really good restaurant, but it is a popular place and on the Saturday night I went it was busy. The food was slow to arrive, but worth the wait when it came.
Summary: The food is really good, if you have time. Better to go with friends and make an evening of it rather than go for a quick meal like I did.
Pros: Food
Brilliant Food, Service is Uneven - Edit
I would rank Sesamo, food-wise, as among the best vegetarian restaurants at which I have eaten. The menu is excellent, and all items we ordered were extraordinary. The beet gnocchi, pumpkin soup, and the agnolotti were brilliant as was the brownie for dessert. I am very particular about brownies/brownie sundaes, and this one was probably the best one I have ever eaten anywhere. The tomato bread was easily the best-tasting we ate in Barcelona. In fact, all other tomato breads tasted really poor or marginal in retrospect, after eating Sesamo's. The only issue was of the service. During our second dinner there, the young man who was one of the two servers on duty was coughing very often in close proximity to food and guests , usually without covering his mouth properly. Our first visit was marred by a kitchen staff that glared at us the entire meal. If a restaurant is going to feature an open kitchen, people in the kitchen need to act in a friendly manner or at least not in a very overtly unfriendly manner. We were very bewildered by their behavior as we were both very appreciative, friendly, and complimentary of the food. The kitchen staff was definitely more friendly our second visit, but I would say the restaurant overall could improve on the uneven nature of the entire staff's behavior. Even with the service issues, I would highly recommend this restaurant. Food-wise, our two meals there were really satisfying.
Pros: Quality food, Very large, all-vegetarian menu, Very close to Metro line
Cons: service issues per my review
Excellent dinner in Barcelona - Edit
We loved this place both food and atmosphere were excellent. We did al a cart but the tasting menu was a great deal -- 7 dishes, 2 glasses of wine each, water and dessert for 25 euro each! Various cuisine on the menu. If you go before 9 no reservation needed but then seemed to get more crowded!
Try the Chef's Tasting Menu - Edit
It's no easy feat deciding which veg restaurant to pick when you have only a couple of days to spend in Barcelona. I'm glad we picked Sesamo though! I went with my partner and her parents (staunch carnivores) after they asked us to pick a place to eat.
The walk was fine for us young folks but the elders found the 25 minute walk from La Rambla a little tough. When we arrived without a reservation there was no problem seating us but it was only 7:30 (opening time).
We chose to get the chef's tasting menu so we could have the best plates without the burden of having to order off a veg menu with meat eaters. It was a great choice. The plates arrived to our delighted faces each time, and we all enjoyed the meal very much. My father-in-law said to the manager that he would always remember the delightful meal he had had there. It was pretty amazing to see him rave so loudly about this all-veg meal.
It was 105 Euro for us all to eat. We were charged for a couple of extra glasses of wine. I think the set menu comes with two glasses, it wasn't all that clear and they just offered refills without really explaining it would be extra. That's fine, it's probably standard practice.
I was more critical perhaps than my fellow diners. I thought the food was great for the most part except for a pink gnocchi dish which was a little bizarre. The plates arrived erratically - at once we would get three dishes and then we would have a very long wait (20 mins or so) before another plate arrived. That would be my main complaint.
In the end I think our 7 plate meal was more like 10 or 11. A couple of times we expected dessert to come next only to have it be another plate of tapas. We were all delighted and full by night's end.
Pros: Value and quality of food, Quaint place off the beaten track, Tasty tasty food and lots of it
Cons: Plates arrive at unpredictable intervals, Wicker sunken seat chairs not comfy
Passed without grief neither glory - Edit
We went for supper and the staff were very friendly because we didn't make reservation and they offer to us a table.
You pay around 12€ for a main dish and you expect innovative and creative food. But the result is tasty but basic and traditional recipes, in small portions. Our impression was that there were an abuse of cheese in the majority of the menu dishes and just a few options for vegans. The total bill was around 45€, for 3 small starters, 1 main dish, 1 dessert and 2 glasses of white wine. Expensive regarding the results.
As a suggestion, regarding to the food, you can see that the cooker knows what he do but maybe can be more risky and daring with the ingredients and forget a little the cheeses, that are the easier option! I'm sure that they would have more loyal customers. Regarding to the local, would improve the cleanliness of the room (for example, the interior of the lamps) and facilitate the dessert menu to avoid the big board tour. ;)
Pros: Friendly Staff, Perfect for cheese lovers, Well-cooked
Cons: Small portions, Few vegan options, Little bit expensive
Strongly Recommended! - Edit
By far the best vegetarian restaurant I've ever been to. Had the taste menu and 7 out of 8 dishes was very well cooked and full of wonderful flavour. Very welcoming and helpful host. I'll definitely come back to this gem!
Updated from previous review on Friday May 16, 2014
Pros: Flavours, Nice Staff, Good Drinks
Cons: Maybe a little pricy
Sesamo - Edit
Best meal I've had out since becoming vegan! The staff were really helpful and friendly and explained all the options and the specials for the day including what the vegan versions of the applicable dishes would be. We decided against the tasting menu (which gives you 7 courses, 2 drinks each and water for 25euros each). We ordered 2 starters to share, canarian style potatoes with 2 puréed vegetable dipping sauces (divine!) and tomato bread. For the main my partner had filled gnocchi with a beetroot and walnut sauce (vegetarian) and I had one of the daily specials which was a pie filled with tofu and mushrooms sautéed in beer plus salad and a balsamic type dressing. Desserts were peanut butter cheesecake (Veg) and chocolate fondue with strawberries, apple and banana for dipping (Vegan). My partner who eats meat and dairy etc. really enjoyed it too. We were also each given strawberry gazpacho as an aperitif which was incredibly good!
Pros: Amazing food, Brilliant staff/service, Nice atmosphere
Nice spot. Good food and good service! - Edit
Had a nice meal here with my wife and two children. My wife and I had the tasting menu, and the kids ate a la carte. When reserving, I let them know I am vegan, and they were ready for it! The fried artichoke was amazing, and the mushrooms with truffle oil were great. I can't say that it was amazing, but it wins for best meal in Barcelona so far!
Loved it! - Edit
Visited here in 2012 and cannot wait for an opportunity to return. The best vegetarian restaurant I've e er been to - tasty, Spanish style food with excellent presentation.
Pros: 'real' food, excellent meals, Nice atmosphere
Cons: Limited opening hours
Absolutely recommended - Edit
Although there is a great variety of vegan and vegetarian restaurants in Barcelona we have been there twice during our holiday in the city.
My boyfriend called the food "perfect" and I also think that it was really fantastic.
The restaurant itself is small but charming, the staff very friendly, the prices fair.
Highly recommended!
Pros: Delicious food, enough options, fair prices
Open Sesamo - Edit
Well well well, it's not often I dish out five Happy Cows on a review but this beautiful little place will be getting the full complement of cows tonight. Located in a gritty part of town but as soon as we walked in we knew this was going to be something special. The dining room seats around 20 without being on top of eachother. After deliberating over the price we decided that the €25 per person 7 course tapas tasting menu was going to provide excellent value rather than ordering starters, mains, drinks and desserts separately. We were told everything could be served as vegan so some of our dishes would be different to those diners who were having the same menu experience with vegetarian options. Over the course of 2 and a half wonderful hours we had the privilege of receiving 6 scintillating savoury courses as follows: pumpkin and miso soup, catalan potatoes with out of this world sauces, pad thai noodles, salad with tomato rubbed bread, courgettes stuffed with pumpkin risotto and a spicy curry at then end. For dessert we had a mixed fruit chocolate fondue. This was accompanied with water and wine all inclusive. The whole experience was just amazing and very well presented and explained. The whole operation is run by two guys who are just on top of everything in a calm and informal manner. We will be back as Sesamo that is for sure.
Pros: amazing food, great staff, beautiful interior
Cons: vegan desserts could be more imaginative
Delicious food - Edit
My husband and I are vegan and came here for dinner on a weekday with reservations (recommended) and we loved the food! The vibe was super friendly and the chef came out to talk to us about the meal and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Each item packed a flavorful punch and we just kept adding to our order. The atmosphere was great, the place was small and the staff spoke fluent English and had a menu available. Vegan items were clearly marked and they were willing to modify vegetarian items.
*Give yourself a little extra time to find it though!
Pros: intimate space
Cons: hard to find
Unimpressive vegan options - Edit
Having read the reviews below I was really looking forward to eating here with my partner. We were rather disappointed in our experience as it wasn't hat we were expecting.
We turned up late without reservations and got a table which was great and the staff were all lovely. The place was much smaller than I expected and so was the menu which was the main problem - we just didn't have much choice.
I wasn't able to have the vegan tasting menu as my partner just wanted a starter and main course but I honestly wonder what they would have given me that was much different to what we had since, as I said, there weren't many vegan dishes on the small menu.
The array of inventive gin & tonic options looked great and I really enjoyed the one I chose. We were also given a complimentary shot of smoked watermelon gazpacho which was divine and the best thing on the menu.
To start my partner had canarian style potatoes with mojo (vegan) which were small whole potatoes boiled in their skins with two dips which we felt was pretty dull and unimaginative. The slow roast aubergine, red peppers and onions with caramelized goat cheese and rosemary oil bruschetta was marked as vegan and I enquired whether the goats cheese was vegan and was told yes. A while later the waitress came back and asked me if I wanted the goats cheese. I said if it was real goats cheese I would not eat it so the dish was topped with sliced tofu triangles instead but I can see this might be quite confusing. The dish was okay but not very flavourful and was absolutely dripping in olive oil, I don't mind oily things but it was too much.
For the main course there were two vegan options. My partner had the chickpea and spinach curry which was very good, the sort of thing I would expect from an indian restaurant in London and that's quite hard to find in a general restaurant. Since I didn't want that my only option was the vaguely described home made puff pastry filled pie. What came was a small disc of very oily puff pastry (which reminded me of Jus-rol) topped with cooked tomatoes and a few more small triangles of sliced tofu. There was a small bit of salad with it but it was quite unsubstantial, lacked flavour and was again so so oily.
For dessert the only vegan option was fruit salad with chocolate fondue. I had it becasuse I was still hungry. It was sliced banana, apple and strawberries with a melted chocolate dipping sauce (I thought apple was a strange combo choice). It was so boring.
Pros: Friendly staff, all spoke english, some tasty items (smoked watermelon , gazpacho shot & curry)
Cons: Small restaurant, small menu choice,, expensive
Fabulous veggie food - Recommended!! 14/05/2013 - Edit
Our most expensive meal (54 euro for a 3 course meal with no alcohol for two) so far on a holiday to Costa Brava and that includes a few nights of those eaten in expensive Sitges!
The venue looks like a small bar from the outside but don't let this put you off, at the back there's a nice seated area.
The meal was worth every euro we paid. There was a good selection of veggie and vegan foods on the menu and we found it a bit difficult to choose with so many options.
Before the food arrived we were give a small glass containing a smoked watermelon gaspacho which was gorgeous!! The food we picked was well presented, fresh, hot and extremely tasty. A nice open kitchen and very friendly staff (one of who gave the recipe of one of the starters to a lady on the next table).
The highlight was a fantastic tiramisu with raspberries and white chocolate pieces embedded in it.
With 20:20 hindsight we'd have chosen the tasting menu purely to sample the full range of the food. With this tasting menu you also get a bottle or water and either 2 glasses of wine or 4 beers all for 25 euro per person.
Pros: Excellent food, Great service, Interesting menu
Cons: Mineral water not chilled
Sesamo is wonderful! - Edit
We loved Sesamo. We went there twice during our stay in Barcelona and had a great time both times. Admittedly it is best for vegetarians (one of us is vegan) but they were very accommodating and what we did have was delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive. And Sesamo is where we were turned onto the apparent fancy gin and tonic trend. Definitely recommend trying a gin and tonic here - not like the one's your grandparents drank!
Pros: friendly staff, gin and tonics, delicious food!
Superb - Edit
I went to Sesamo this evening (March 2013) and had the Vegan taster menu. Excellent food, well cooked and friendly service. If I was in Barcelona for longer, I would definitely go back again. This was the best food I have eaten in Barcelona.
Updated from previous review on Saturday March 02, 2013
Pros: Excellent vegan food, Very tasteful restaurant, Friendly service
Cons: Looks like an average bar at the front
Hello vegan chocolate fondue! - Edit
I went to Sesamo as one of a party of four. It is kind of hard to find as it's easy to walk past the small door without noticing it, but we got there eventually! The place opens out at the back into a nice intimate restaurant with great hip decor and lighting. There was only one waiter working when we were there but he was friendly, funny and pleasant. We ordered gin and tonics (a different one each) off the extensive menu and they were all TOTALLY LUSH and came in impressive glasses! To start I had the potatoes, which when they arrived looked literally like uncooked potatoes on a plate with some sauce next to them! A bit odd, but I thought they were delicious - my friend who got them too found them too plain, though. Main courses were all gobsmackingly delicious. Vegan options are a bit predictable, I was stuck with a Thali while my vegetarian friends got more inventive stuff, but I'm kinda used to that happening! The dessert situation was odd - like others in these reviews, we were all excited about the peanut butter cheesecake, only to be told there was none. Does it actually exist I wonder? My veggie friends had the Baileys brownie which was apparently very delicious but HUGE and very rich so hard to finish! I got the vegan chocolate fondue and may I say I was one happy lady! So delicious and served very elegantly (not eaten so elegantly though...!). One big con was the loo -- kind of outside and really rather stinky :Z I made use of it and then advised my companions to avoid at all costs! But perhaps they were just having plumbing problems that day? I don't know. We all thought the price was good. It was a special birthday dinner and it definitely felt like a special, classy place to go. Kind of sketchy neighbourhood but we were OK leaving quite late at night. Recommended!
Pros: Fondue fondue fondue, Amazing gin and tonic menu, do not miss!, Very nice waiter
Cons: Stinky loo!, No PB cheesecake, sad times, Better choice for veggies than vegans

Wine Lover 18 Jun 2013 - The toilet was pretty rank when we were there so obviously not just a bad day.
"Best meal in Barcelona" - Edit
On my stay in Barcelona I had sort out Sesamo after rave reviews upon this website and a snippet of information in my guidebook (Le Cool - Barcelona). Upon finding the restaurant (note, the entrance is small and just looks like a regular bar) we were greeted with an intimate dinning area past a bar, where we spent a little time waiting to be seated. This wasn't a bad thing as we listened to many other British tourists fill the seats with glea and we enjoyed a large gin and tonic in the meantime. Once seated we got to sample the delights of the food. All of the menu in vegetarian with a few items labelled as vegan. There was plenty of choice and I was greeted by a few surprises. Vegan goats cheese! Vegan chocolate fondue! Suffice to say we can back more than once. It was my favourite meal in Barcelona and my boyfriends too. While eating in Sesamo we heard people remark 'this is the best meal I have ever eaten' and the staff were wonderful and friendly, with the chef coming round for a chat after the meal.
Pros: Good Food, Reasonable, Friendly Staff
Cons: Waiting when busy
great place for a nice dinner - Edit
Beautiful space. Had the tasting menu which was easily made vegan. The food was well presented. Lots of flavor. A very gourmet experience.
Pros: flavor , space, fresh
Amazing - Edit
We had our last meal in Barcelona at Sesamo and wish we could have gone there more (and More and MORE). Not a hippie place, no tripped out painting on walls and loud rock. We had the tasting meal with two glasses of wine and were blown away by the taste of each dish and the wonderful chef, he came out to explain each dish. He is cute too - kind of like a young Frank Zappa. Although we are vegan there was some dairy in a couple of the dishes. Didn't mind because everything was so tastefully done and the dairy was only used as a condiment. Small place call for reservations.
Pros: Favorful, Great Presentations, Sophisticated Decor
Cons: Can't go back soon
Open on Sunday! - Edit
Sesamo is one of the few places open on a Sunday.
We had a fabuouls meal there.
The starters were unusual and tasty. The mains were a good size and dessert was heavenly.
I would recommend giving it a try.
All vegetarian tapas - Edit
We went to Sesamo for dinner and were in the mood for tapas (hey it's Spain, what do you expect). There was an option to take an 8-course degustation menu, with wine/beer/water and a dessert for 25€ per person. It seemed like the ideal option.
The items were partly from the tapas menu, as we expected, but also contained some items from the day specials. A pleasant surprise. In the end we even got a complementary ninth course.
The tapas were tasty, but nothing very special. Some olives, mushroom croquettes, bread with tomato, etc. Good, but not special. But of course there were also "specials"-items, which were worthy of their name. A smoked watermelon gaspacho, a pistachio pasta pesto, ... Much more orginal than the tapas. And of course also delicious.
We were a little disappointed with the dessert, as we did not get to choose which one we wanted. And it was NOT the peanut butter cheesecake that we had been drooling over all evening. Fortunalty the coconut cream truffels were also extremely satisfying, so we'll forgive them this small negative point ;-)
The staff was very friendly, but seemed to be somewhat more interested in me than my boyfriend. We'll just assume this was because I clearly spoke better Spanish than he did. The waiter did not speak English very well, but at tables where no one spoke Spanish, the chef would personally come and explain. Very cute. (The menu does contain a translation by the way!) They had a blackboard with the specials which they moved around from table to table. Also very cute. Especially when they swooshed it around to the English side on request.
Plus: the chef had a red chef's hat. He should get a bonus point for that :)
In conclusion, Sesamo's was a great place for an evening of tapas and would be a good place to return to and try the specials. And to have that peanut butter cheesecake after all!
Pros: degustation menu, original and yummy specials, Cute & friendly staff
Cons: Waiter only speaks Spanish
Excellent food and vibe - Edit
The batman owner is incredibly helpful. Spoke fluent English and spoke eloquently about all the food. The food was excellent and well presented and the place was very busy so they have very high standards. Excellent vegan selection.
Pros: Friendly, Vegan choices, Amazing food
very nice place, good service and atmosphere - Edit
the food was good and nice. all is vegeterian and there was a good choice of vegan dishes or dishes that can be made vegan. the workers were helpfull and kind. the wine was good and the prices were reasonable.
important to say if you don't like spicy food. some of the dishes are very spicy
Pros: nice atmosphere, good prices
Good! - Edit
I went with my mother (meat eater) last Tuesday and we both enjoyed it. There was quite a lot of vegan choices on the menu which was both in Spanish and English with the chef & waiter speaking both as well (good as the place was full of both nationalities when we went).
I had a mushroom curry which was nice.
My mother is allergic to cheese and tomato which isn't usually a problem as she eats meat but in vegetarian restaurants it can be awkward.
They were accommodating and altered a mushroom and cheese tart to omit the cheese for her. That was served with salad. She ate it but said it wasn't worth the price as it was mediocre (although this could be because the cheese was missing!).
We had the Baileys brownie for dessert and that was amazing! We really loved that.
I probably wouldn't go again but this was a nice place that was well decorated with really friendly staff (the chef came out and explained what had gone into each dish).
Pros: Lots of choices for vegans, Friendly staff , Attentive chef
Cons: Expensive , Bit awkward to find
Delicious and Friendly Lunch! - Edit
I searched out Sesamo after reading about it in Lonely Planet, and arrived at 2:30 on a Wednesday afternoon. There was no one else in the whole tiny place! My partner and I shared a bottle of rosado and had a delicious two course lunch. We started with a grilled peach, rocket, and pecorino salad and a ginger, melon and cucumber soup (cold). Then we got a mushroom/cheddar tart (with side salad) and a pear, parmesan oil, beet, and fresh yogurt over greens. The staff (just one guy) was so nice and helpful. He even gave us a free shot of a Spanish liqueur at the end! I would go back to this place in a heartbeat if I wasn't leaving Barcelona so soon!
Pros: Delicious Food, Vegan Options, Friendly Staff
Cons: No one else at restaurant, Little pricey, no formule option, Could have more interesting vegan option
Delicious Vegetarian tapas - Edit
Delicious Vegetarian Tapas!!!! I highly recommend this restaurant. We had a great time.
Updated from previous review on Monday July 04, 2011
Great Place - Edit
We dined there last weekend and had a wonderful experience. The staff was very friendly and the food was great (we had the tasting menu). Definitely try it when you are in town!
Good food - Edit
The dining experience was friendly, informal and casual. The food was great. The chef salad was my favorite - lentils, several types of nuts, an olive paste, a green pesto-like paste, beets, thinly-sliced cucumbers, potatoes, and of course the greens. It was a meal in itself. I also had the stuffed yellow pepper. The pepper (actually 1/2 of a pepper) was tasty and served with a very acidic and salty side of mushrooms and squash. This side is not quite as intense as an Indian pickle, but serves much the same culinary purpose. The stuffed pepper, while tasty, is no bargain. It's about a half of a meal at the price of a full one.
Pros: interesting, tasty
Cons: Small portion on some dishes
Great Vegetarian Find in BCN - Edit
After struggling to find satisfying vegetarian/vegan food on our first trip to BCN, we ate at Sesamo on Dec. 8th. I believe it is open for dinner only 8-12, and we had no trouble getting a table at 8:30 PM on a Wednesday. Sesamo is a small operation, with just ten or so tables, one waiter and one chef. It has an open kitchen, and the chef is an amiable fellow trained in Madrid who talked with us for a bit. My wife and I shared an excellent salad, and then she had risotto and I had Pad Thai. Everything was fresh and nicely presented. The restaurant is completely vegetarian, and my impresion was that the chef will make dishes vegan if possible -- for example, he omitted the egg from my Pad Thai.
Pros: Friendly Chef, Vegan Options, Appetizing dishes
Cons: A little hard to find
Ok... - Edit
I enthusiastically went to Sesamo after reading the reviews on here and i have to say i was a little disappointed. The place certainly has a nice feel to it and we were treated well whilst there...but contrary to what I have read here i found that there were few vegan options. None of the main dishes were vegan and so i picked out some tapas. They were all perfectly edible but nothing to write home about.
Pros: Cosy, Helpful staff
Cons: Expensive, Few vegan options
Must go - fully vegetarian - Edit
Sesamo is a non pretentious candlelit restaurant and bar. Its open from 8pm-12am and it well worth going. They speak English and take pride in their food. If we were in barcelona longer, we would have gone back. It is small and took us a walk up and down the street to find it but I'm thrilled we did. Would highly recommend. They have a full menu and tapas special.
Cons: healthy and excellent food, great staff
Sesamo is a fully vegetarian restaurant - Edit
Me and my boybriend are on holidays in Barcelona with some friends and we all went for dinner to Sesamo last Sunday, there were 6 of us, and we had pretty much everything on the menu.
It was recommended by a work mate that had been a couple of times to bcn as the best veggy in town, we had to check it out, i goggle it and dicovered that it was only a veg-frendly rest.
We couldn't find one single dish with meat, since one of my boyfriend's cousin is a ham lover. We asked the waiter about it, and what a surprised, they don't have any kind of animal, he explain they used to have charcuteri in the front bar but since more than a month its a 100 per cent vegetarian.
We spoke with the owner, a very nice big argentinian fellow and told him he has to update sites like this one that still says they are not fully vegetarian.
Hope you try it, food is great, vegan risotto was amazing, very much worth going.
Pros: very good english spoken, incredible food, the owner is so funny
Cons: a bit warm
This place is really worth its reputation! - Edit
We were a group of four and went here on a tuesday night around ten. There were a few other customers too but the service was fast and super friendly. I have a pretty strict diet being a vegan and having a coeliac disease, and the staff was very helpful and I even had a few options to choose from, which is really rare when eating in a restaurant. I was so happy with my dishes and so were the rest of our group too. The place had a great atmosphere and prices were reasonable.
Special thanks to the warm-hearted chef, who made the great dishes! I'd give 5 cows rating, if they would let me give more than 4 to "veg-friendly"-restaurant. No cons!
Pros: great food, sympathetic chef, friendly english speaking staff
wonderful vegetarian food - Edit
We ate here twice while we were in Barcelona and enjoyed both meals very much. The tapas were delicious and beautifully presented. We ordered several to share and enjoyed them all (particularly the figs with cheese). Both times our wait staff spoke enough English to make ordering easy. We ate at nine o'clock and the place was not crowded.
Pros: excellent food, lovely space, friendly staff
Almost on par with BioCenter, but really classy! - Edit
I noticed I neglected to write a much deserved review for Sesamo! I honestly don't remember them having any animal products on the menu, but its a chalkboard menu redone often. They have a really hip restaurant with great english speaking staff & chef who were delighted to accommodate our dietary limitations. Wonderful alcohol, chalkboard menu, front is Spainish back is English. A must do for a nice night out in Barcelona!
Pros: classy/hip, english menu/staff, accommodating
The best meal I had in Spain - Edit
I tried several vegetarian restaurants in Spain, and while there were certainly restaurants with more options, this was the best quality meal I had for my entire twelve days.
I am surprised by the review that mentioned Sesamo having meat, since we didn't see any meat on the menu. We didn't examine the tapas menu closely, since we decided on the prix fixe lunch, so there could have been a meat tapas I didn't see. I would be surprised, though, since it is called Comida sin Bestias (food without beasts). Certainly, the menu of the day had no meat at all.
There are smoking and non-smoking sections at Sesamo, so don't be put off by the ashtrays in the front. You will quickly be escorted to the main, smoke-free dining room if you so choose. When we were there, the prix fixe lunch consisted of (good, basic) vegan salad, vegan minestrone, and a choice of vegan risotto or vegetarian (not vegan) pasta. However, when the chef (who took our order when the waiter realized it was better for us to speak to him in English than to the waiter in Catalan) noticed that I was more interested in the pasta than in the risotto, he immediately offered to make me a plate of vegan pasta. I was touched when he poked his head out of the kitchen a few minutes later to make sure I ate nuts. Yes, I do. The result was an absolutely excellent, perfectly prepared plate of pasta with garlic and almonds. It sounds very basic, and it was a very simple dish, but it was cooked just perfectly and the flavors were excellent. After the salad and minestrone, there was no need for a vegetable-laden sauce, and the pasta was just perfect.
You must try Sesamo while in Barcelona! It is in a neat neighborhood that you might otherwise miss, too, so make a special point of going. (It's not far from La Rambla, but on the opposite side from most of the tourist stuff. We really liked the atmosphere.)
Please note: Happy Cow only allows me to give this restaurant four stars instead of five because it is, to Happy Cow's knowledge, non-vegetarian. I hope this is correct, since I didn't notice any meat and I would hate for the restaurant to lose points unnecessarily.
Pros: a truly gourmet experience, very helpful staff, excellent pasta
Sesamo no longer vegetarian - Edit
I have recently visited Sesamo and can confirm that it is no longer a a vegetarian restaurant and now serves meat and fish.
Some vegetarian dishes are still available.
Closed in August - Edit
During my last visit to Barcelona, the restaurant was closed for vacation (as most Spaniards are on holiday in August). There was a note on the door that it would open again Sept. 1st.
Please Stay Open, Sesamo! - Edit
Great find! A small bar with a 20-30 seat restaurant space at the back. Open kitchen. Very interesting menu - vegetable dishes, cheese dishes, rices, pastas. Surprisingly good desserts, which we didn't find a lot of in Spain. Staff isn't very strong in spoken English, though, so bring your dictionary.
Due to the small size of the space, I suggest a reservation. Also, maps of that area are bad -- to find it, go to the southeast corner of Mercat Sant Antoni, and look for the street going off at a diagonal; it's at the corner, 1 block off the Mercat.
Pros: Creative chef, excellent food, large portions
Cons: Small space, hard to find
The BEST in Barcelona!!! - Edit
This is the best place in Barcelona. A bit expensive - but very worth while.
High class cooking, with a wide vegan menu. English speaking staff and a warm atmosphere.
Every single dish, from the appetizers through the soup, the main course and to the cake - all had that special touch that turns just "good food" into an entirely wonderful experience.
The food is organic and local grown.
Pros: Briliant food, welcoming staff, vegan friendly
Cons: NONE
delicious! - Edit
this place is good for some vegan tapas and at a decent price, too!
Pros: local beer, good price, good taste
Cons: servers attitude
lovely mains, skip the starters tho - Edit
the mains were lovely very filling etc. especially the buckwheat option and the polenta one. but the starters were disappointing overly fancy looking and not good value for money. id recommend this place nonetheless...
Pros: healthy, tasty mains
Cons: starters poor value, very hot place - toasty..
Could have more vegan options - Edit
Sesamo Bar is a cosy place where you can potentially have a three course vegan meal. Unfortunately when we went, they had no vegan desserts. There were about three vegan options for mains and similar for starters, much more choice for vegetarians. We really enjoyed our starters but were a little dissappointed with our mains. The staff were friendly and the wine was good. They have a standard menu and different 'specials' daily. I would recommend giving it a go and would go back there if I go back to Barcelona
Pros: Helpful staff, Daily specials
Cons: Need more vegan options

Conducting an internship at the UNU-INWEH helped me realize what I appreciate in good organizations that are trying to change the world by improving the human condition.
– Reza Ali, 2016 Intern
My time at UNU-INWEH provided me with the opportunity to apply my scientific background to a project in the real world. Within the Water and Ecosystems Programme, I learned how ecosystem services, policy and socio-economy are related and how they depend on each other. I especially liked the opportunity to set up my own project and to present this research to a multidisciplinary audience at the WatIF 2016 conference in Kingston
– Alexandra, 2016 Intern
During my time at UNU-INWEH I was able to learn about transboundary water management from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and integrate them into a policy brief and course module. I especially liked seeing how this research connected with ongoing UNU-INWEH and UN projects and having the opportunity to present my findings to different audiences.
– Catherine, 2016 Intern
UNU-INWEH has provided me with an astounding opportunity to experience the application of first-hand classroom theories in the real world. It is a resourceful centre that allowed me to understand the necessity to apply research for resolving problems in water, human and sustainable development issues. It was a great privilege to work with a team of expert that allowed me to unite my varied interest of indigenous and international development in one unique combination.
– Busola, 2015 Intern
UNU-INWEH is an excellent facility for individuals looking to engage with the broader international community on a variety of water-focused policy, management, and conservation issues. The breadth of knowledge and experience amongst the team is impressive and worthwhile, and the internship was an excellent opportunity to learn more about water issues and help me progress towards a larger, more global perspective.
– Naomi, 2012 Intern
Indeed, the possibilities of working directly with high-level specialists on specific cases, touching on issues of water management in connection with the problems of desertification, population health, and climate change, among others, make the UNU-INWEH internship program in Hamilton, a perfect place for any student.

Traf-O-Data was a business partnership between Bill Gates and Paul Allen that existed in the 1970s. The objective was to read the raw data from roadway traffic counters and create reports for traffic engineers. The company had only modest success but the experience was important in the creation of Microsoft a few years later.[1]
Traffic counting[edit]
State and local governments frequently do traffic surveys with a pneumatic road tube traffic counter. Rubber hoses are stretched across a road and passing vehicles create air pulses that are recorded by a roadside counter. In 1970 the counts were mechanically recorded on a roll of paper tape. The time and number of axles were punched as a 16-bit pattern into the paper tape. (The standard Teletype paper tape uses only 8 bits.) Cities would hire private companies to translate the data into reports that traffic engineers could use to adjust traffic lights or improve roads.
Gates and Paul Allen were high school students at Lakeside School in Seattle. The Lakeside Programmers Group got free computer time on various computers in exchange for writing computer programs. Gates and Allen thought they could process the traffic data cheaper and faster than the local companies. They recruited classmates to manually read the hole-patterns in the paper tape and transcribe the data onto computer cards. Gates then used a computer at the University of Washington to produce the traffic flow charts. (Paul Allen's father was a librarian at UW.) This was the beginning of Traf-O-Data.[2]
Traf-O-Data hardware[edit]
The next step was to build a device to read the traffic tapes directly and eliminate the tedious manual work. The Intel 8008 microprocessor was announced in 1972 and they realized it could read the tapes and process the data. Allen had graduated and was enrolled at Washington State University. Since neither Gates nor Allen had any hardware design experience they were initially stumped. The computer community in Seattle at that time was relatively small. Gates and Allen had a friend, Paul Wennberg, who – like them – had hung around CDC Corporation near the University of Washington cadging open time on the mainframe. Wennberg, founder of the Triakis Corporation, was then an electrical engineering student at the University of Washington. In the course of events Gates and Allen mentioned they were looking for somebody to build them a computer for free. They needed somebody good enough to build a computer from parts and the diagrams found in a computer magazine. It was Wennberg who came up with the man to do just that. After discussion with another friend, Wes Prichard, Prichard suggested to Wennberg that Gates and Allen head over to the UW Physics building (now known as Mary Gates Hall)[3] where Paul Gilbert, another EE student, worked in the high-energy tracking lab. It was there that Paul Gilbert was approached by the duo to become a partner in Traf-O-Data.
That year Gilbert, piece by piece, wire wrapped,[4] soldered, and assembled from electrical components the working microcomputer. Miles Gilbert, Paul Gilbert's brother, a graphic designer and draftsman, helped the fledgling company by designing the company's logo. Gates and Allen started writing the software. To test the software while the computer was being designed, Paul Allen wrote a computer program on WSU's IBM 360 that would emulate the 8008 microprocessor.
Although the plan had been to manufacture and sell the machines:
...when the guy from the County that Seattle's in came to see it, it didn't work. We ended up being okay successful, not seriously successful ... just by processing the tapes. At first that was a very manual process. Then we used this prototype machine that we built to do that. So, we made a little bit of money and had some fun with it.— Bill Gates[5]
Later the State of Washington offered free traffic processing services to cities, ending the need for private contractors, and all three principals moved on to other projects. The real contribution of Traf-O-Data was the experience that Gates and Allen gained, skills they used to write Altair BASIC for the MITS Altair 8800 computer:
Even though Traf-O-Data wasn't a roaring success, it was seminal in preparing us to make Microsoft's first product a couple of years later. We taught ourselves to simulate how microprocessors work using DEC computers, so we could develop software even before our machine was built.— Paul Allen[6]

This based on latest trends/model output. PC && .AVIATION/18Z TAFS/...Wing of stratus/fog in SC WI proggd to affect mainly these areas through 00z. In fact SREF cig/vsby prog shows lessening chances as the afternoon wears on suggesting some mix out in this area. Areas further east expected to see mainly mid/high level moisture through 00z. As surface front and mid level energy arrive tonight the threat for IFR cigs/vsbys and rain will be on the increase. Although it looks like things will be on the move as LLVL RH progs dry things out pretty quick after 12z Tuesday. PC && .MARINE...A Small Craft Advisory is in effect from 2 PM this afternoon until 3 AM Tue. Breezy sely winds will develop this afternoon and continue through the evening ahead of an approaching cold front. The sely winds will build high waves especially north of Port Washington. The winds will then turn swly Tue AM along with a reduction in wave heights. The sly winds will also bring moist air over the relatively cold waters of Lake MI resulting in areas of fog, possibly becoming dense. The fog threat is greatest tonight.

Ridge moves off to the eastern Great lakes tonight as the trough flattens as it moves across Wisconsin tonight. Upper level divergence increases later this afternoon and evening, weakening as the trough moves across eastern Wisconsin. rater strong 700 mb upward motion over south central Wisconsin early this evening. best chance of thunderstorms with line of showers expected then. Southerly flow continues with 850 moisture advection noted associated with increasing LLJ ahead of approaching trough. Forecast soundings have extensive dry layer through the morning with moistening mainly below 850 mb. Still GFS does not saturate much, and appears daytime mixing also comes into play. Therefore then stratus/fog potential is questionable. As a result mainly mid/high clouds initially that will hold down heating a little, but this is offset by increasing 925/850 mb temperature`s. Therefore record highs again possible mainly inland areas. LONG TERM... TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY... Forecast confidence is high. Clouds are expected to diminish through late Tue morning as the moves out of WI. Look for temperatures to rebound into the lower 60s once again on a southwesterly breeze. The 925mb temps should reach around 10C, similar to values observed Sunday. A weak surface low will track across northern WI Wed in response to a shortwave. Precip associated with the low will remain well to our north, but an extra push of warm air will give us a chance at highs in the upper 60s across southern WI on Wed. Expect a little more wind with this system. THURSDAY THROUGH SATURDAY... Forecast confidence is medium. The next shortwave is expected to cross the Midwest and dig through the Great Lakes Region late this week. This will bring a stronger low pressure system across northern IL and southeast WI. Precip type will be rain ahead of the low, but colder air on the back side should lead to a changeover to a rain/snow mix for southern WI Thu night. Fair agreement between the GFS and ECWMF support accumulating light snow across WI in the trowal region Fri night. SUNDAY AND BEYOND... Forecast confidence is medium. Southern WI will be in a colder pattern for early next week. An active weather pattern will continue, bringing a chance of snow or a rain/snow mix on Sunday and again Monday. AVIATION/12Z TAFS/... Southerly flow continues with 850 moisture advection noted associated with increasing LLJ ahead of approaching trough. Forecast soundings have extensive dry layer through the morning with moistening mainly below 850 mb. Still GFS does not saturate much, and appears daytime mixing also comes into play. Therefore then stratus/fog potential is questionable. Therefore although there is some potential for IFR fog/stratus, it could end up mainly VFR until the band of showers and chance of thunderstorms come through later early this evening and tonight. Southeast winds will gradually increase Monday, with gusts into the lower 20 knot range possible this afternoon. Winds will veer south Monday evening, and west later Monday night, after the wind shift boundary moves through. MARINE...

In accordance with M.G.L. c.71, §89(o), and 603 CMR 1.09(4), the purpose of this memorandum is to notify you of the number of students from your district who are expected to be enrolled in Massachusetts charter schools for the 2010-2011 school year. The data is contained in two reports.
The first report, 2010-2011 Charter School Pre-Enrollment by Receiving Charter School , identifies by charter school, the location, the grade levels to be served, the total pre-enrollment count, and the number of students on each school's waiting list, as of March 15, 2010.
The second report, 2010-2011 Charter School Pre-Enrollment by Sending District , identifies the number of students at each district, for each grade, pre-enrolled at each charter school, as well as the number of district students on each charter school's waiting list, as of March 15, 2010.
According to state regulations, payments shall be made to charter schools "only for the total number of students from all districts" as reported on the charter school pre-enrollment report. As a result, while actual enrollment from your district may differ slightly, the total enrollment in a charter school from all districts, as listed on the first attached report, represents a cap on the number of students for which the charter school may receive tuition payments.
Charter school tuition assessments are charged to sending districts in three installments (December 31, March 31, and June 30). Each assessment is based on actual charter school enrollment and the charter school tuition rate in effect at the time of the payment, with corrections made for any over- or under-payment in previous quarters. For additional details on the calculation of charter school tuition and assessments, see Calculation and Disbursement of Commonwealth Charter School Tuition.

Skip to comments.Gingrich, Republicans Complicit In Obama Health Care Restructuring
Posted on 12/16/2011 6:42:30 AM PST by hellbender
Dr. Jane Orient has been warning us for over two decades about the bipartisan push toward a nationalized healthcare system. The Tucson physician has been in private practice since 1981 and executive president of Association of American Physicians and Surgeons since 1989. She has written several books including Your Doctor Is Not In: healthy skepticism about national health care in 1994. Orient dates our present trite meme "ObamaCare" back to the Clinton era when Republicans, led by Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, "turned around and implemented on their own some of the very worst features of the Clinton plan."
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
More people will avoid doctors. There will be an underground medical services structure. Insurance will be cut of same. Already if you pruchase life insurance, all your answers to the questionnaire are RECORDED in a central database. The insurance companies are NOT your friend, they are reporting all kinds of information to these centralized data bases and it CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU.
This article is pathetic drivel. The author would have us believe that some things done in 1994 has all the doctors so mad at Newt that they blame him for Obama Care. Sheesh, Obama was just a twinkle in Jeremiah Wrights eye at that point. The stretch is just absurd.
My brother is a doctor, adamantly opposed to Obama Care, and is a huge Newt supporter. A lot of doctor's are. If this author wants to make a rational case against Newt, there are ways to do that. This is not one of them. In fact, this is such a stretch and so desperate that only folks predisposed to disliking Newt anyway will give it any credence.
It just falls in on itself.
The doctor is pissed at Newt because they made the penalties for fraud more severe.
This whole article reeks of stupidity.....such as a hatred of electronic records and prescriptions.
Just last week Gingrich said there were about 300 pages of Obamacare that he would implement.
Gingrich also said his goal for healthcare reform was to achieve "universal coverage":
This comprehensive approachcost, quality, competition, and coveragecan solve the problem of the uninsured with no individual mandate and no employer mandate. Everyone would be able to obtain essential health care and coverage when needed. For those who are too poor to buy health insurance, states will have more flexibility to provide them with the assistance they need to buy it. For those who nevertheless choose not to purchase coverage and then become too sick to do so, high risk pools will provide access to coverage. Once you have health insurance, you are assured you can keep it. By contrast, even Obamacare for all its trillions in taxes, spending, new entitlements, and new bureaucracy still does not achieve universal coverage.
So, individuals won't be forced (mandated) to participate and employers won't be forced to participate, but everybody still gets FREE STUFF!!
For a discussion of this paragraph, if interested, start here at # 118.
Is that really you, C. Edmund Wright? This does not look like your writing.
It's just my pre coffee - doing three things at once - didn't get enough sleep - off the cuff rantings. Especially embarrassed that such a piece ran at Amer thinker.
sorry, it wasn't too elegant I admit...
"More people will avoid doctors. There will be an underground medical services structure."
Medicare is basically a Police state. Characterizing coding errors as fraud is very chiling. We're not talking about the Russian mafia selling medical equipment to dead people, we are talking about small errors and billing disputes.
More and more doctors will drop out of Medicare and other government insurance to avoid this insidious entrapment. In the near future, there will be an abundant supply of physicians with cash only practices willing to meet the needs of patients who want high quality, confidential, and readily accessible medical care.
Don't worry, that never happens to me. lol /s
No harm done, I was just wondering if all was well.
I see, "ObamaCare" isn't really Obama's folly, it's Gingrich that should be blamed. B/S, period.
Just think: should there be universal plumbing insurance? Mandatory car maintenance insurance? Only a socialist would think so.
Yes. The Dems are determined to get socialized medicine one way or the other.
It is unconscionable to not know where this leads.
>> Ronald ReaganSpeaks Out Against Socialized Medicine.
It is unconscionable to not know where this leads.>>
What an idiotic post by you. I know full well what Reagan said about socialized medicine and I know full well that Reagan had great respect for both Heritage Foundation and for Newt.
That you are such a little microbial anal thinker that comments about individual responsibility and mandates (which are totally different than Obama' mandates) means that Newt is in favor of socialized medicine means that you and I can never discuss anything because we are on different planes.
Man, snarkiness laced with ignorance and false choices and poor extraplations just bores the heck out of me.
You are an expert at false premise and snark, your posts are filled with them.
The only person this forum ever helped elect, was Obama.

Why Transmedia Launched Glide Engage on the T-Mobile G1 Instead of Apple's iPhone
Transmedia launches its Glide Engage microblogging and collaboration application for the T-Mobile G1 smartphone, based on Google's Android mobile operating system. Transmedia CEO Donald Leka said Apple's inconsistent iPhone App Store policies and the fact that Glide Engage will compete with Apple's MobileMe and iTunes store mean Transmedia has to be careful about what it launches on the iPhone.Transmedia CEO and Chairman Donald Leka isn't buying the recent talk about the Apple iPhone being superior to the T-Mobile G1 based on Google's Android mobile operating system. Leka uses both the iPhone and the G1 and said he finds the G1 superior for Web browsing. Weighing that fact and Apple's unpredictable iPhone App Store policies regarding competing applications, Transmedia Aug. 18 launched the first mobile version of its Glide Engage social networking and mobile collaboration application for the G1 smartphone. Glide Engage does a lot, but most notably it enables microblogging up to 1,400 characters, a stab at Twitter's 140-character cap for messaging.
Transmedia's choice of the G1 as the launch pad for Glide Engage is significant because it flies in the face of some developer anecdotes that the G1 is an inferior device to the iPhone. Although Apple has sold millions of iPhones, the device is supported by an App Store marred by inconsistent policies that have led to the expulsion of some applications.

MRI shows a hypervascular, invasive lesion with perifocal oedema and infiltration of the thalamus and superior tectal plate.
Germinoma accounts for more than 50% of neoplasms in the pineal region. It is also known as dysgerminoma or extragonadal seminoma, as opposed to non-seminomatous germ cell tumours (NSGCTs). The latter are more resistant to radiation therapy and require higher doses.
The patient also has a non-enhancing lesion in the right petrous apex, probably a congenital cholesteatoma.

Tensions are running high in the "Big Brother 15" house. Read on to find out the latest foot-in-mouth moment, or just sign up for the live feeds to watch for yourself.
Yesterday, while a bunch of houseguests were sitting around in the backyard (pictured above), the following exchange took place about a fly that was crawling on Jeremy:
Jeremy: "You keep ticklin' me, little feller. I'm African, we're used to it. Have you ever seen those tribes where flies are like walkin' on their face. They're not aborigines, but — what do they call 'em?"
Aaryn: "Are you talking about the, like, Save the Children commercials?"
Jeremy: "I'm talking about the ones that wear red and they stand on the stick … they're called something. But they have, like, flies walking on their face."
Now, if this were an isolated incident, this would be a lot of idle chatter by people who don't sound especially smart or aware. However, in light of all that has gone on in the house, plus the fact that Howard was sitting right there? Not cool. (Candice is in the picture, but she had gone inside by the time the comments were made.)
Later, Howard, Andy and Spencer were talking about it and Howard tells Spencer, "It ain't worth sayin' anything. … I always consider he's a kid. … Remember why I'm here, what I represent. … It's like, how much can you take? At some point, you gotta stand up for something. It's good that I'm older because I'm able to think before I say something."
"With Jeremy and Aaryn, … I always put it in my head they're kids," says Howard. And he adds that he just has to keep his temper and ignore it.
He's obviously got a very healthy attitude about it. Getting into a huge fight will not end well. It has been brought up time and again to these people about what they're saying and how hurtful it is, so if they can't be more thoughtful about it, there's no use in having a screaming match. They'll find out soon enough just how they are coming across to the viewers.
Meanwhile, Aaryn, Kaitlin and Spencer are on the block (A/K from Helen and Spencer from the MVP) and Kaitlin has won the Power of Veto. She's waffling about taking herself off because she's worried Jeremy will go up and out of the house (which he very well may).
But the major alliance in the house is telling her that if she doesn't use it, she's gone. Now, we would argue they'd want Aaryn out before Kaitlin and that Kaitlin might be safe in not using it. However, if we were Kaitlin, we wouldn't risk it. You gotta watch out for no. 1 and if you win POV and are on the block, you always use it on yourself.
The Power of Veto ceremony will take place later today, Zap2it will have all the information for you.

Re: lots of answers needed please
The best way to get to Yerevan is train, it lasts 12 hour(night time) and costs 12 Euro-one way. You can go also by mini-bus, it will take 7 hours and costs something like 20 Euro, but you will be tired from long way. About Iran and Turkey...you can go from Yerevan to Turkey by bus to Istanbul, it costs 50-60$ one way and the bus goes almost everyday. To Iran you can also go by bus. It is no train beetween Armenia and Turkey, and no train beetween Armenia and Iran, just busies. If you need another information about Armenia I will try to answer to your questions.

NET Television travels 9,000 miles to chronicle the work of Dr. Charles Wood, head of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Center for Virology, who, with his Zambian Partner Dr. Chipepo Kankasa, is educating mothers about HIV transmission. Like Nebraska, the African country of Zambia is in the center of a continent, its countryside dotted with cornfields, villages and gas stations. But that's where the similarities end. Zambia is in the midst of a devastating epidemic, in which one out of five people in the capitol city of Lusaka is HIV positive. Hearts of Zambia documents the struggle to combat a deadly enemy, but it's also a story about much more than disease and death. "Thinking back o the people we met, we realized that what defines Zambia is not HIV and AIDs," says producer Christine Lesiak. "What defines Zambia is hope."
