Gavá’s local cuisine reflects the rich flavors of Catalonia and the Mediterranean. The city is known for its fresh seafood, including dishes like suquet de peix (a traditional Catalan fish stew) and fideuà (similar to paella but made with noodles instead of rice). Gavá’s proximity to the coast ensures that the seafood served here is always fresh and flavorful.
In addition to seafood, the city celebrates its agricultural roots with dishes that highlight locally grown vegetables and fruits. Escalivada, a dish made with roasted eggplant and peppers, and calçots, a type of green onion often eaten grilled, are local favorites. Traditional Catalan sausages and meats also feature prominently in local menus.
Gavá is home to numerous restaurants that offer both traditional Catalan and contemporary Mediterranean cuisine. For food lovers, the city also hosts the Gavá Gastronomic Fair, where visitors can sample local delicacies and enjoy cooking demonstrations by some of the region’s top chefs.
