    10th Plat Favorit dels catalans: Which dish best represents Catalan cuisine?

    2025-11-05 16:30 2025-11-05 17:15 Europe/Madrid 10th Plat Favorit dels catalans: Which dish best represents Catalan cuisine? Catalunya Regió Mundial de la Gastronomia and CUINA magazine will reveal the semi-finalists for this year's Plat Favorit dels Catalans (Catalans' Favourite Dish). This initiative seeks to identify the dish that best represents the essence of Catalan cuisine. From among 15 initial proposals, the four emblematic dishes that go through to the semi-finals are chosen by popular vote via the website platfavorit.cuina.cat. The event will begin with a four-way conversation between some of the participating chefs, entitled: ‘From bread with tomato to calçots: the symbol of a country at the table’, a reflection on how traditional dishes explain our culture, territory and identity.
