Slow Food describes itself as follows:

Slow Food is a global, grassroots organization with supporters in 150 countries around the world who are linking the pleasure of good food with a commitment to their community and the environment.

A non-profit member-supported association, Slow Food was founded in 1989 to counter the rise of fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.

Today, we have over 100,000 members joined in 1,300 convivia – our local chapters – worldwide, as well as a network of 2,000 food communities which practice small-scale and sustainable production of quality foods and develops activities, projects and events at a local, regional and global level

Slow Food develops projects, events and activities all around the world and at all levels by convivia at community level and by Slow Food offices at regional and global level. It has adopted innovative approaches to:

· Defend Food Biodiversity

· Develop Networks

· Food and Taste Education

· Connecting Producers and Consumers

Bearing this in mind, My Destination Barcelona wants to place emphasis on all restaurants forming part of the Slow Food organisation and, for this reason, you will find them in the Slow Food Restaurants category identified by that special logo.

Enjoy the variety of different menus offered by these restaurants and feel proud of your collaboration with sustainability at a global level.
