THE NEW CATALAN CUISINE
This year, Gastronomic Forum Barcelona will become one of the main platforms for promoting Catalonia as the World Region of Gastronomy 2025 (CRMG25), doing so by focusing on a key theme: the New Catalan Cuisine.
With this new approach, we highlight the unique moment that Catalan gastronomy is experiencing, driven by a new generation of chefs exploring creative, sustainable paths that are deeply connected to the local territory.
A powerful activities programme with the proximity between speakers and the public as the strongest point
Over the course of three days, there will be live cooking sessions, showcookings, idea-sharing debates, and recognition events for professionals in the sector.
In the various activity spaces, the most prestigious chefs from Catalonia will be performing, along with international ambassadors who promote Catalan cuisine around the world, and those who have made iconic dishes their specialities.
Together, renowned speakers and experts will gather to reflect, debate, and demonstrate live the trends and values of this New Catalan Cuisine: identity, innovation, sustainability, and a close connection to local produce.
