General Description Explore the vibrant Born district, located in the heart of Barcelona, a neighborhood steeped in history and brimming with medieval architecture.

Embark on a unique culinary experience led by Jon Cake, the innovative chef who has revolutionized the world of cheesecakes. This immersive food tour dives deep into the heart of El Born, allowing you to sample the best dishes from several top restaurants—all in one unforgettable evening.

The journey begins with an introduction to the neighborhood, where you’ll enjoy a couple of tapas and a beer—the quintessential way to start an evening in Spain. Following this, you’ll taste the finest traditional dishes crafted by Barcelona’s top chefs.

Explore traditional food markets and stores that preserve the authentic flavors of the past. Visit one of Barcelona’s oldest stores to discover how high-quality ingredients form the foundation of many beloved dishes.

Next, you’ll visit a 40-year-old restaurant that epitomizes fine Catalan cuisine. The chef will introduce you to his kitchen, where simple yet flavorful dishes are beloved by locals and visitors alike.

The tour continues with a stop at the Jon Cake store, where you’ll pick up a sweet treat to enjoy at the next venue—a restaurant that beautifully blends the culinary traditions of Asturias and Catalonia. Here, contemporary, seasonal cuisine highlights local products under the Slow Food philosophy. Your meal concludes with Jon Cake’s acclaimed cheesecake, a perfect ending to your gastronomic adventure.

Finally, we recommend you to end your evening with a cocktail at an iconic bar in El Born—the perfect spot to unwind and reflect on the day’s experiences.
