Catalan gastronomy has a long culinary tradition. Various local food recipes have been described in documents dating from the fifteenth century. As with all the cuisines of the Mediterranean, Catatonian dishes make abundant use of [[Fish as food|fish]], seafood, [[olive oil]], [[bread]] and [[vegetables]]. Regional specialties include the {{lang|ca|[[pa amb tomàquet]]}} (bread with tomato), which consists of bread (sometimes toasted), and [[tomato]] seasoned with olive oil and salt. Often the dish is accompanied with any number of sausages (cured [[Botifarra|botifarres]], [[fuet]], iberic ham, etc.), ham or cheeses. Others dishes include the {{lang|ca|[[calçotada]]}}, {{lang|ca|[[escudella i carn d'olla]]}}, {{lang|ca|suquet de peix}} (fish stew), and a [[dessert]], [[Catalan cream]].

Catalan vineyards also have several {{lang|ca|[[Denominación de origen|Denominacions d'Origen]]}} wines, such as: [[Priorat (DOQ)|Priorat]], [[Montsant DO|Montsant]], [[Penedès (DO)|Penedès]] and [[Empordà (DO)|Empordà]]. There is also a sparkling wine, the [[Cava (Spanish wine)|cava]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://cava-and-co.com/|title=Cava & Co !|date=24 October 2011|website=Cava & Co !|access-date=24 July 2021|archive-date=24 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210724170448/https://cava-and-co.com/|url-status=usurped}}</ref>
