An honest cuisine that reflects the landscape and the farmers, fishers and livestock breeders who bring the products to our tables is the driving force behind the many culinary collectives that can be found in the counties of Catalonia. Their mission is to recover local products, preserve old recipes while embracing innovation, revitalise rural areas and promote Catalan gastronomic culture. This commitment makes it possible to discover all of Catalonia through its cuisine, not only in terms of food, but also landscapes, social and cultural insights, rich traditions and time-tested trades.
The Slow Food network, comprising over 50 restaurants, also promotes Catalonia’s rich food and wine heritage, with initiatives that draw attention to local products, rural culture and ethical consumption. This work is reflected in numerous gourmet events dedicated to the finest products the land has to offer. Visiting these restaurants is a journey to the roots of Catalan cuisine.
