Tastes of Our Cuisine

An event introduced by the Municipal Council in 2012, coinciding with the Diada de Sant Jordi.

It was established with the intention of rounding out the entertainment and festivities offered on the Diada with a food tasting event organized by the restaurants of Olesa. The good response to the first edition resulted in this event being introduced to the Festa Major festival as well.

Since then, the tastings have become a tradition and the number of participating restaurants and visitors has been growing every year. The restaurants offer a range of samples from their menus at accessible prices, and  the fact that it coincides with Sant Jordi and with the end of the Festa Major has made it one of the most widely attended and appreciated events on the local calendar.

A new variant of the food sampling began in 2013, coinciding with the celebration of Carnival: the launching of a nighttime tasting of foods made with products prepared by market shopkeepers, which has also proven a big success.

The aim of the tastings is to offer a sample of Olesan cuisine and a forum for the promotion of the restaurants and businesses of Olesa’s Municipal Market.
