We Are Facefood Mallorca 2025
The prestigious We Are FaceFood event returns to Palma de Mallorca for its second edition, consolidating itself as an essential event for professionals in the Horeca sector.
A great opportunity to discover up close the latest trends and innovations in gastronomy and restaurants worldwide, with some of the most prestigious names on the current culinary scene.
A key event for the sector
Gastronomic innovations and Mallorca's role on the international culinary scene will be the central focuses of this new edition. Created and organised by FaceFoodMag, the event is sponsored by Estrella Damm, co-sponsored by Balfegó, Moët Hennessy and Distribucions Túnel Mercavinos, with S. Pellegrino and Acqua Panna as special collaborators.
The gastronomic event will be celebrated on 17 February, from 11:00 to 18:00, at Casa Esment, Palma de Mallorca, and will bring together more than 40 premium brands, as well as 9 Michelin stars and 10 Repsol suns.
The day will be marked by conferences, talks, tastings, samplings and workshops, creating an ideal environment for networking between professionals from the hotel, restaurants and tourism sectors. An essential forum for learning, inspiration and the exchange of ideas in a space where gastronomy is the main protagonist.
Casa Esment: A purposeful space
The event will be held at Casa Esment, an emblematic place that reflects the work of the Esment Foundation. Since its founding in 1962, Esment works so that people with difficulties and their families can enjoy a full life, defending their rights and supporting their inclusion in society.
Casa Esment is a space that combines social innovation, sustainability and Mediterranean culture, offering training and employment to people with support needs.
By choosing Casa Esment as the venue, We Are FaceFood not only highlights the diversity and the Mallorcan product and the support for local and Mediterranean gastronomy, but also makes visible the valuable work of the Esment Foundation in favour of a more inclusive and supportive society.
