The Port Olímpic continues to shape its new catering model based on the Gastronomic Balcony. BSM has allocated three new catering projects that are in line with its commitment to catering for various consumer profiles based on quality, diversity and a commitment to healthy, sustainable food.
These three projects were selected under the same criteria used in last year’s public tender: quality, the style of cooking and produce, the proposed interior design and ambience and the sustainability measures established to reduce the activity's impact on the surrounding area. A total of 7 projects were presented, from which the following options were selected:
- World Cooking - innovation: El Tribut
- Flexitarian food: Super Local
- Cafeteria: Casa Carmen
This second batch of adjudications joins the culinary projects allocated at the end of 2022, a process that formally allocated 7 of the 11 restaurants making up the Gastronomic Balcony.
The remaining culinary establishments in the new Port Olímpic will be finalised at the beginning of 2024, once the last restaurant and the three food shops have been allocated. The latter will be three establishments that will act as complements to the culinary offer provided by the restaurants.
The Gastronomic Balcony will make Port Olímpic a unique restaurant area on the Barcelona seafront, where you will be able to find everything from innovative fusion-cuisine options to market cuisine with Mediterranean roots. Varied and complementary menus for all kinds of occasions.
Quality cooking in a privileged, architecturally-innovative location
The second phase of construction work on the Gastronomic Balcony begins this July, once the demolition of the existing structures on Moll de Gregal has been completed. The new area covers a total surface area of 24,000 m2, 8,000 of which will be used for restaurants.
The redevelopment will define a unique, innovative location without any obstacles, and as with other areas of the Port, this will facilitate a dialogue between the city, port activities and the Barcelona seashore. At the end of the Passeig Marítim, and all along a wide boulevard equipped with relaxation areas and viewpoints, four top-class restaurants will be built, located on a platform projecting out over the sea, which will further increase the sensation of openness and proximity to the seashore. Meanwhile, the restaurants located on the port side will have wide terraces built under the photovoltaic pergolas that form the roofing of the Gastronomic Balcony. In all cases, the new interior spaces will be defined by light and transparency, thanks to the use of materials such as glass, which will provide views of the sea and port facilities.
In order to facilitate accessibility between the two areas, there will be three vertical access areas with steps and lifts. The new culinary centre will also have a direct connection to Nova Icària Beach.
Construction of the Gastronomic Balcony is scheduled for completion at the end of summer in 2024 to coincide with the start of the America's Cup sailing competition; the Port Olímpic will be used as the base for the youth and women's competitions.
