Every year, more than 150,000 users come through Xanascat hostels. That's why our network of hostels is a great way to access the best food in Catalonia and learn about Catalan cuisine from a social and cultural standpoint.
The current prominence of Catalan cuisine, which has become world-famous, has driven us to undertake a series of actions in our facilities with the goal of showcasing such an important part of our culture. That's why our menus always feature local ingredients and seasonal recipes, and that’s also why we’ve adopted efficient management mechanisms to lower food waste. We also offer direct sales of wine and sparkling wine, olive oil, biscuits, sausages and everything made near the hostel.
Menus adapted to the season
Our cuisine has traditionally followed calendars and seasons connected to the local and national products and celebrations. That's why at Xanascat hostels we offer recipes from the ‘Corpus of Catalan cuisine’ as the backbone of our home-made family meals.
Menus adapted to the season
The increase in the number of food allergies and intolerances in recent years has led to the appearance of new regulations and laws with the goal of protecting the health of people who need to control their consumption of certain foods.
Therefore, at Xanascat we have developed and implemented a protocol that allows us to establish basic preventive and safety measures to lower each person’s risk of contact with allergens at meals, while also offering dietetic and nutritional support based on special food needs.
Proximity
The Xanascat hostels are an integral part of the Catalan villages and cities where we are located. For that reason, and to offer you 100% local experiences, our menus always feature local products.
Plus, because Catalonia is a land with a broad culinary culture, our hostels are an easy, convenient and high-quality way to access a wide range of culinary activities and events held throughout the year all over the region.
Food waste
The idea of healthy, responsible food consumption has become an important part of culinary thinking with the Mediterranean diet. Eating good, healthy food with commitment has become a part of our identity. That's why at Xanascat we have incorporated internal management techniques, tools and mechanisms that not only enable us to offer balanced, healthy meals but are also designed to optimise the food cycle, properly manage surpluses, guarantee responsible, efficient management of our kitchens and ultimately avoid food waste.
