The secret to elaborate a successful meal starts with the purchase of the basic products, which we are well sourced with in our fantastic local markets. Barcelona’s food markets are an essential element of the city’s life. Each neighborhood boasts its own, usually located within remarkable late 19th century buildings, which gather the commercial life of each area. And Cook&Taste is conveniently located in between two of the most amazing ones of Barcelona, the Boqueria Market and Santa Caterina one.

The Boqueria Market, built in 1836, is definitively one of the milestones of Barcelona. It has been rated as one of the best markets in the world, with more than 200 vendors, providing locals with the best and finest local and import produce. And the gorgeous and modern Mercat de Santa Caterina, built on the remains of the convent after which it is named (you can visit the remains of the convent in the back of the Market) is certainly a must visit if you’re serious foodie and an architecture lover.

Take the chance of visiting one of the above markets (depending on the session) led by one of our local professional chefs in our team. They will guide you through it, unveiling the secrets to purchase the freshest and most seasonal produce. Hopping from stall to stall, selecting some of the ingredients you will need for the cooking, interacting with the vendors and the busy and bustling market life that will imprint in your memories along with all the spices and colors of the best produce in the world

Cook & Taste is strongly committed and engaged to farm to table sustainability, which not only is a source of fresh flavors that require no preservatives (resulting in high nutritional benefits), but also supports local economy.
