Mediterranean cuisine permeates the gastronomic offer in Castelldefels, with influences from all the cultures that have formed part of the Mediterranean’s history; Greek, Arab, etc.
The proximity to local producers means the cuisine here is a real treat for the palate. The fresh seafood on the coast, special meat and poultry dishes inland, and a variety of fruit and vegetables combined with top-quality olive oil and fine wines from the area complete a healthy diet that combines traditional dishes with innovative flavours and colours.
