Private Barcelona: Jon Cake’s El Born Handpicked Food Tour

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 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 through this experience that would otherwise require 3 separate nights due to the popularity of the area. Let’s start with an introduction to the neighborhood with a couple of tapas and a beer, which is typically considered the best way to start any evening in Spain.You’ll enjoy this intro and then we’ll move on to making sure that you taste the best chef recipes of traditional dishes. Let’s find the traditional food markets. Casa Gispert is one of the oldest stores in Barcelona that preserves the old flavor and authentic traditional product. Let’s see how the base of many of our dishes start. El Passadis del Pep is a 40 year old restaurant that represents fine Catalan cuisine. The chef will introduce us to his kitchen with simple but tasteful dishes that everyone loves. From there, we will pass by the JonCake store to pick up our sweet tasting dish, while having the opportunity to eat it fresh and sat. Let’s bring our dessert to Llamber. For you, we brought the north of Spain to Barcelona. Jon’s pick is the best introduction to Spanish cuisine and Llamber will prepare us Jon's acclaimed creation. We will end our tour with a cocktail at an iconic bar of El Born. This will be our last stop for today, but maybe not yours.
