What to expect

Welcome to El Born, where medieval charm meets chic boutiques and the locals' idea of a diet is "tapas first, questions later." This vibrant neighborhood is home to the iconic Santa Maria del Mar basilica and cozy cafés ready to fuel your culinary adventures.

Designed by Chef Jon Cake—the dessert mastermind behind Barcelona's best cheesecakes—you'll dive into an evening of flavor explosions. Instead of hopping from restaurant to restaurant over several nights, we'll pack them all into one food-filled adventure. From beer-and-tapas intros to gourmet mains and a dessert you won't want to share, this tour has it all.

We start by greeting El Born with a couple of tapas and a beer—because how else do you begin an evening in Spain?

As we wander through the neighborhood, we'll pop into a traditional food store, revealing the secrets behind Barcelona's tastiest dishes.

Then, it's off to a restaurant that's been around for over 40 years, serving Catalan cuisine that will make you want to move in.

Next, we pick up a special dessert from Jon Cake's shop and take it to lo diferente—a restaurant that combines the best of Asturias and Catalonia. Think of it as the Avengers of Spanish cuisine, and yes, Jon's famous cheesecake is our dessert superhero.

Finally, we'll wrap up the evening at the Plaza del Mercat del Born, a spot steeped in history and charm. Once the bustling center of Barcelona's market scene, it's now the perfect place to reflect on your culinary adventure—and capture a memory.
