Barcelona occupies a place of honor on the list of foodie travelers. Its streets embody a variety of culinary offerings. Neighborhood bars and traditional Casalana restaurants stand out, offering hearty dishes full of traditional flavors. Although visitors sometimes prefer to try one of the city’s 31 Michelin-starred restaurants. Irina Costea, Marketing Director of Casagrand, knows this, and that’s why she stays up-to-date with the city’s latest culinary offerings. Today, she shares her latest discovery on our blog: clandestine dinners.
“In addition to Michelin-starred restaurants and more traditional menus, new offerings from trendy restaurants, street vendors, and pop-up restaurants appear every month. We know that Barcelona never sleeps, and we see this in the number of new foodie plans that pop up every day. This latest offering has personally surprised me. An idea that combines the pop-up concept with the element of surprise to create a clandestine dinner wrapped in a game.”
Much more than a gastronomic plan
With so much culinary offering, creating a unique foodie plan in Barcelona seemed like an impossible goal. However, in recent months, Gastroshow’s clandestine dinners have managed to revolutionize the city. These plans combine gastronomic pleasure with play and enjoyment.
The game begins the moment you book your dinner. This is the first culinary event you’ve booked without knowing where it will take place or what you’ll be eating. From that moment on, an interesting game begins, in which you’ll receive clues that will help you solve the mystery. Where will the dinner party secretly take place?
The mystery remains hidden until one hour before the appointment, at which point you’ll discover the secret location. The best part is that upon arrival, a haute cuisine tasting menu awaits you with original appetizers, flavors, pairings, music, and a night full of surprises. And, if that weren’t enough, the experience includes a full showcooking so you can enjoy the pleasure of watching the professionals cook.
Secret dinners are the perfect plan for curious palates looking to experience Barcelona from a different perspective. Just like Irina, the entire Casagrand staff strives to offer you the best ideas and plans so you can enjoy the city.
