“Zara, our guide and chief feeder, set the scene. Orientating us in space and time, she transported our minds to the beginnings of Catalan cuisine, enlightening us with fascinating little nuggets of info and explaining Barcelona’s role as a producer and innovator…. We scoffed gourmet croquettes and wonderful little puffs of spinach and halloumi. We sipped premium quality Catalan Cava while Zara demonstrated her expansive wine knowledge – she’s a passionate and skilled sommelier, which certainly comes in handy on a tour like this.”
Barcelona Life said:
“A complete introduction to Catalan food… More than just tantalising your tastes buds, Food Tours Barcelona also make it their mission to give their guests plenty of local insight and share some fun regional experiences, such as drinking from a porron wine vessel and making your own pan amb tomaquet (tomato bread), during the activity. With around 20 food and drink tastes included in the price it is great value for money.”
Food Barcelona said:
“An informative and well balanced intro to Barcelona’s local flavours. The tour presents Catalan and Spanish food in an order of increasing sophistication as it progresses. Guide Zara is a very knowledgeable wine buff… it would have been rude not to follow her suggestions.”

“The Evolution of Catalan Gastronomy Tour treads beyond the basic Barcelona tapas tour. It’s an upscale food tour for visitors who want to immerse themselves in the Catalan culinary scene… You’ll prowl the (practically locals-only) food market and authentic Catalan restaurants in the central Sant Antoni neighborhood.
Foodie Barcelona said:
“The Catalan Gastronomy tour is a newbie to the market, seeing a new angle for a food tour: the journey and transformation of rustic dishes like croquetas and paella to the modernistic dishes influenced by Catalunya’s most famous export after Messi: Ferran Adria.”

“Our host for the food experience Jessica navigated us with great knowledge through the streets of Sant Antoni. On our 3 hours walking tour, we experienced 6 stops with traditional and modern food and drinks from Barcelona and Catalonia. The pace of the tour is great, no rush or stress. There are easy walking distances between all the stops and during the short strolls Jessica filled us in on history and culture of both Barcelona, Catalonia and Spain. It’s a perfect activity in Barcelona to experience for anyone enjoying food and culture.”
