Gastronomic Routes through Europe

Jornadas Gastronomical Europeas presentation Credit: Alfas del Pi Council

Embark on a gastronomy journey through Europe until May 12 with Alfas del Pi´s debut food festival. 

This year, Alfas del Pi City Council collaborated with 18 local restaurants that are offering unique menus with specialised national dishes representing the 27 countries of the EU.

In a municipality which homes almost a hundred different nationalities, as the local Councilor of Commerce and Consumption, Patrick de Meirsman noted, the EU sector has “a varied and rich representation in our municipality.”

This project aims to shine a light on the diverse community of Alfas del Pi and empower the local businesses. The menus of all restaurants can be evaluated by all visitors through QR codes, with a prize award granted to the winner, as well as the participants receiving a prize for their support.

This festival will also coincide with the celebration of World Paella Day on May 11, for which local Spanish restaurants are expected to compete in delicious and authentic offers of paella; the declared “Intangible Heritage of Humanity”.

The restaurants participating, amongst others, include the French Bistro Belle Epok and the Romanian Authentic Bar Restaurant. Find out about more offers here.
