The assignation of the three gastronomy shops and the last of the eleven establishments making up the restaurant deck concludes the make-up of the culinary space at the Olympic Port, with its 24,000 square metres of space devoted to quality, culinary diversity and design. The Gastronomy Balcony will be ready for the America’s Cup, in the summer of 2024.
The various gastronomy projects presented were chosen as they complement the range of restaurants, with product variety, interior design and sustainability as essential elements. The shops chosen are:
- Faborit, healthy food premises
- Esferic, ice-cream parlour
- Les Muns, a brand of savoury turnovers
The shops will move into three premises of 85 square metres on the lower floor of the Gastronomy Balcony. Characterised by their glass façade, these premises ensure maximum visibility and transparency for the inside, seeking a dialogue with activity at the port.
High quality and varied range of culinary options
The final restaurant to form part of the Gastronomy Balcony is Vraba, specialising in Catalan cuisine with Asian influences, from Grup Aventura. The full range of cuisine at the restaurant deck will therefore be:
- World cuisine – innovation: El Tribut (newly awarded)
- Flexitarian: Super Local (newly awarded)
- Cantina: Casa Carmen (newly awarded)
- World cuisine – innovation: Grup Sagardi
- World cuisine – innovation: Pantea Group
- Blue gastronomy: El Cangrejo Loco
- Catalan cuisine: La Fonda del Port Olímpic
- Mediterranean cuisine: La Barca del Salamanca
- Sea cuisine: La Taberna Gallega de Marcos
- Aperitifs: Platets
- Catalan fusion: Vraba
Construction work for the Gastronomy Balcony is progressing at a good pace, with the space expected to be ready at the end of this summer, coinciding with the start of the regattas in the 37th America’s Cup. The budget for the project is twenty million euros.
