From 16 to 18 October, Cefalù hosts the first edition of Tarabà – The Sea and Sustainable Cuisine Festival, three days devoted to maritime tradition, local catch and the rediscovery of so-called neglected fish, through gastronomy, sustainability and activities open to the public.
Among the main events is the RistoChallenge “Il mare ritrovato”, in which five finalist restaurants — Al Solito Posto, Galleria, Il Carretto, Le Chat Noir and Taverna Taverna — compete with dishes featuring lesser-known fish species. The competition will end on Sunday 18 October with the announcement of the winner, after the final challenges in front of a panel of experts.
The programme also includes cooking shows, tastings and talks on the fishing supply chain and local cuisine, with the participation of local chefs. There is also room for food education and inclusion with the EduFood Inclusion project, which on Saturday 17 October will offer activities on the Mediterranean diet, mindful fish consumption and outdoor sport, including a trekking experience on La Rocca di Cefalù.
Promoted by the Municipal Administration in collaboration with the Feedback agency and with the support of the Sicilian Region, Tarabà was created to strengthen the bond between the town and the sea, celebrating local traditions and promoting a food culture that cares about sustainability and the protection of marine resources.
See you in Cefalù from 16 to 18 October for a weekend of flavours, sea culture and local traditions.
