My friend Eva @flamencakitchen has helped organise this very special event for the past two years, which brings together Gastronomy and Art in the city. Fourteen hotels are showcasing Maridarte 2025, along with their chefs and ten local artists. Today Eva invited me to attend the presentation of chef Antonio García and artist Daniel Franca at the Radisson Hotel Magdalena which, quite handily, is just around the corner from my house.
The premise is simple but also quite unique. At each hotel an artist displays certain pieces of their work and then the chef “pairs” dishes with them. Which at first I thought was a bit “yeah okay…” but today listening to Antonio and Daniel talk about how they influenced each other and what each painting and dish meant to them was actually quite moving. And then we got to taste the dishes. If you’re in Sevilla, Maridarte is on until March 2nd. You can find their programme below for meeting the artists, but you can also just show up any time to view the art and taste the dishes.
