What to expect on your experience
The Born district, located in the heart of Barcelona, is a vibrant and historic neighborhood known for its medieval architecture, narrow winding streets, and lively atmosphere. Once a key commercial area in the medieval city, El Born is now a trendy hotspot blending the old with the new. The district boasts significant landmarks such as the impressive Santa Maria del Mar basilica, the Picasso Museum, and the atmospheric Passeig del Born. Visitors can enjoy a plethora of chic boutiques, art galleries, cozy cafés, and restaurants.
By night, El Born transforms into a bustling hub of nightlife, with an array of bars and music venues with lively energy and ambiance. The blend of historical charm and modern vibrancy makes the Born district a must-visit area for anyone exploring Barcelona.
Jon Cake, the young chef who has revolutionized the world of cheesecakes has prepared an immersive experience that dives deep into the heart of the medieval and artistic neighborhood. You will be able to taste each restaurant’s best dishes in one evening, an experience that would otherwise require several separate nights due to the area’s popularity.
We begin with an introduction to the neighborhood, enjoying a couple of tapas and a beer, which is typically considered the best way to start any evening in Spain. Following this intro, we ensure you taste the best traditional dishes crafted by top chefs.
Explore traditional food markets and stores that preserve the old flavor and authentic traditional product. We will visit one of the oldest stores in Barcelona. Discover how the base of many dishes starts with high-quality ingredients.
Visit a 40 years old restaurant that represents fine Catalan cuisine, where the chef will introduce us to his kitchen with simple but tasteful dishes that everyone loves.
Next, we will stop by the Jon Cake store to pick up a sweet tasting dish, while having the opportunity to eat it fresh and sat. Let’s bring our dessert to the chef’s favorite place, a restaurant that unites the best of two lands: Asturias and Catalonia. This venue interprets these regions through contemporary, seasonal cuisine that highlights local products under the Slow Food philosophy. After the meal they will serve Jon Cake’s acclaimed creation for you.
Finally, end your evening with a cocktail at an iconic bar in El Born. This will be our last stop for today, but maybe not yours.
