The Catalan Academy of Gastronomy and Nutrition held its grand gala evening, presenting its National Awards. This year, the award went to Els Tinars chef Marc Gascons in the Signature Gastronomy category, and to Els Tinars chef Marc Gascons in the Traditional Gastronomy category. in the charismatic chef who died almost a year ago, Fermí Puig.

The Gascons family has just opened the first restaurant in the old town of Girona that is located in an inhabited area and, therefore, not on the road, like Els Tinars (a Michelin star) and Bell-lloc. "I like the concept of a roadside restaurant. because it is associated with a good place to eat well," says the chef, Marc Gascons, on one of the first days of opening of the restaurant, which has full the three spaces where you can eat: the large room, the interior and a side, with high tables. Marc remembers the tunnel in front of the restaurant Els Tinars that the father paid for so that there would be direct access to the restaurant from: de Rosés, in the Plaça de la Cort Reial, and it is a smaller space than the large rooms of Els Tinars and Bell-lloc, but there is a thread that links them: Catalan cuisine is the protagonist.
