Make your next team event one people actually remember. Live Spanish paella and tapas, cooked fresh on-site by our Madrid-born chef — for corporate groups of 20 to 80 across Melbourne.
Full setup, service, and cleanup included. You focus on your guests. We handle everything else.
Most corporate catering is forgettable. Sandwich platters. Buffet trays. Food that arrives, gets eaten, and leaves no impression. Tapas Madriz is different. Ignacio, our Madrid-born chef, cooks everything live at your event — paella sizzling in a giant pan, tapas prepared fresh in front of your guests. The cooking becomes part of the occasion. People gather around, ask questions, take photos. By the time they sit down to eat, the atmosphere is already there.
Ignacio cooks everything from scratch on-site. The sizzle, the saffron, the paella pan — it creates a natural talking point and a genuinely memorable experience before the first plate is served.
We bring every ingredient, every piece of equipment. Setup done before your guests arrive, complete cleanup when they leave. Your only job is to enjoy the event.
Office rooftops, courtyards, function rooms, parks, private venues — we cook anywhere with a flat space and a power point. We confirm suitability when you enquire.
All paellas are naturally gluten free and dairy free. Vegetarian and vegan options available. We accommodate all requirements — just let us know when booking.
Custom packages available for larger groups and multi-course events. Contact us for a tailored quote.

Where a sandwich platter is forgotten by the time the meeting wraps up, live paella cooking creates an experience — something that generates conversation, photographs, and genuine memory.
Tapas Madriz provides corporate paella catering across Melbourne for groups of 20 to 150 guests. Every event is cooked live on-site by Ignacio, our Madrid-born chef, using authentic Spanish ingredients including Bomba rice from Valencia, real saffron from La Mancha, and Spanish Jamón Serrano. The cooking itself — the sizzle of the pan, the aroma of saffron, the theatre of a 90cm paella being served — becomes part of the event.
We cater corporate events at offices, rooftops, function rooms, parks and private venues across Melbourne including the CBD, South Yarra, St Kilda, Hawthorn, Glen Waverley, and throughout Bayside. We bring everything — pans, burners, ingredients, serving equipment — and handle full setup and cleanup.
Corporate paella catering from Tapas Madriz starts at $39 per person (Paella Only, minimum 20 guests). Our most popular corporate package — La Gastronómica — is $75 per person including 3 tapas, paella and full service.
