El Born Bites: Local Food and Wine Tasting Tour in Barcelona
Delve into the heart of Barcelona's medieval and artistic neighborhood, El Born, is an experience like no other. This tour, curated by Jon Cake, the young chef who has revolutionized the world of cheesecakes, offers a gastronomic journey that encapsulates the essence of this popular area in one evening.
This exploration takes you through traditional food markets and stores that have preserved the old flavor and authentic traditional product for generations. You'll even visit one of the oldest stores in Barcelona. Next, you'll dine at a 40-year-old restaurant that epitomizes fine Catalan cuisine. There, the chef will introduce you to his kitchen, serving up simple yet tasteful dishes that are universally loved.
The culinary journey continues as you stop by the Jon Cake store to pick up his featured dessert. You'll then bring your sweet treat to a restaurant that beautifully unites the best of Asturias and Catalonia through contemporary, seasonal cuisine under the Slow Food philosophy. After savory delights, it's time for Jon Cake's acclaimed creation. Finally, you'll end the evening with a cocktail at an iconic bar in El Born.
