The Tarragona City Hospitality Business Association, with the support of the Tarragona City Council’s Tourist Board and the Port of Tarragona, and sponsored by Arròs Bayo and Celler Castell d’Or, presented this morning the Tarragona Seafaring Rice Gastronomic Days.
For 15 days, some of the city’s best restaurants will serve special menus featuring seafaring rice as the main attraction.
Montse Adan, Councillor for Tourism, Economic Promotion and Commerce of Tarragona, emphasized that “Tarragona is many things: it is culture, heritage, tradition, commerce… but Tarragona is also synonymous with GASTRONOMY. And with these Gastronomic Days, it proves it year after year — that’s why we invite everyone to take part.”
The participating restaurants are: Brisa Restaurant/Tamarit Beach Resort, Restaurant El Llagut, El Racó del Pescador, Taranta Restaurant, Restaurant Hola Playa, Casa Balcells, Restaurant La Morada, La Xarxa, Restaurant La Malcriada, Quattros, La Sardineta Restaurant, Vadegust, Gure-Toki, Selvático Wellness Food & Cocktails, El Pòsit del Serrallo, Flamingo, Tapepear, Galliner de l’Antiquari, Casa Bartra Hotel Núria, Beach House La Mora and Nàutic Tarragona.
Javier Escribano, president of AEH Tarragona Ciutat, highlighted the reason behind these days: “to de-seasonalize the gastronomic offer and promote restaurants during periods of lower activity throughout the year — something that benefits the whole city.”
The menus will feature BAYO rice from the Ebro Delta and will be paired with wines and cavas from Celler Castell d’Or.
Santos Martínez, representative of Nomen Foods, remarked that “Rice is essential because we eat it at any time and in any situation. And you are capable of giving it a unique touch that not every product has.”
Finally, Jordi Amell, CEO of Grup Castell d’Or, added, “this event is, above all, a celebration of the region and the identity of a city with a long and rich fishing tradition that dates back to Roman times and still shapes its most authentic character today,” and added, “we are convinced that our wines and cavas are the perfect complement to the cuisine of the Costa Daurada. With quality, authenticity and respect for tradition, we help make every dining experience even more exceptional.”
