The first Alasbravas championship in Alicante was won by Vino y Mas, a restaurant that served up a unique take on the classic Spanish tapas, patatas bravas. The winning dish featured a smoky kimchi sauce, confit garlic, and lime aioli, which set it apart from the competition. Over the final weekend of September, Vino y Mas served more than 10,000 portions of patatas bravas at Plaza de Seneca during the three-day food festival.
Festival-goers voted for their favorite dish via QR codes, with judges evaluating the dishes based on their presentation, flavor, and potato quality. Cheos and Brasad’or also participated, with Patatas Arrugadas Mas Bravas and Patatas Bravasador taking second and third place, respectively. Vino y Mas' victory in the inaugural Alasbravas competition earns them a spot at Alicante Gastronomica, a major food event held from October 2 to 5 at IFA.
The restaurant will showcase their winning recipe through a showcooking session, giving visitors a chance to learn about the dish and taste it firsthand. Alasbravas, the competition's brainchild, went beyond the traditional patatas bravas, offering a diverse selection of tapas, sandwiches, gluten-free options, and desserts. The event also featured workshops, tastings, and live music, transforming Plaza de Seneca into a hub for local food and innovative patatas bravas interpretations.
