Our Journey in 4 Points

Through these four key points, we chart the path of our passion and dedication to the world of gastronomy. From our roots in Maresme to the expansion into the vibrant scene of Barcelona, 9platosyundestino.com is a journey of constant discovery, inviting everyone to savor each moment with us.

The Birth of a Passion

This project was born from a deep passion for gastronomy and the conviction that every dish has a story to tell. Following the success and experience accumulated with Maresme Gourmet, we decided to broaden our horizons and create 9platosyundestino.com, a platform dedicated to exploring and discovering the culinary richness of Barcelona and its surroundings. This new journey is driven by the desire to share with the world the hidden gems and unique gastronomic experiences that our beloved region has to offer.

A Legacy of Experiences

With more than five years dedicated to Maresme Gourmet, we’ve accumulated not just accolades but a deep understanding of what it means to offer quality content that resonates with food lovers. These years of hard work and dedication taught us the value of authenticity and the importance of building a community around the shared passion for gastronomy.

Expanding the Gastronomic Horizon

The creation of 9platosyundestino.com emerges as a natural step in our evolution, taking our mission beyond the borders of Maresme. With the ambition to explore new culinary geographies, this project is conceived as an essential guide to discovering the best of Barcelona’s gastronomy and its surroundings, from hidden gems to renowned gastronomic temples.
