Authentic Spanish paella in South Yarra — 18km from our kitchen, $60–$80 travel fee, everything handled.
South Yarra is Melbourne's prestige inner address, and entertaining here carries weight. The Como Historic House and Garden, Fawkner Park, and the private homes behind Chapel Street all see events that set the benchmark for the city's social calendar. The expectation isn't just good food — it's a complete experience that guests reference for years afterwards.
Live paella meets that standard because of the theatre it involves. Ignacio cooking at the pan — the saffron going in, the socarrat forming slowly on the base, the aroma filling the garden — is an experience a plated restaurant dinner simply doesn't provide. South Yarra clients tend to book us specifically for events where the food itself is the centrepiece rather than the background.
South Yarra is 18km from Aspendale, Zone 2: a $60–$80 travel fee applies. For events using private garden venues or permit-based public spaces like Fawkner Park, we're happy to assist with logistics planning if needed.

Como Historic House and Garden is one of Melbourne's most beautiful event venues — the National Trust property, the heritage gardens, and the riverfront position create a setting that few caterers have the opportunity to work in. The property is managed separately and books externally for approved events; contact the National Trust directly to enquire about catering access.
Fawkner Park is South Yarra's primary outdoor public event space — large enough for significant outdoor events with council permits, centrally located between South Yarra and St Kilda Road, and with a character that suits prestige outdoor entertaining. We've worked at Fawkner Park events before and know the setup requirements.
South Yarra is Melbourne's prestige private entertaining suburb, and the events we cater here reflect that — significant milestone birthdays for guests who have genuinely high expectations, anniversary dinners where the occasion warrants the best available, and corporate client entertainment for firms who want to impress rather than simply feed their guests.
Wedding receptions and engagement parties are also strong in South Yarra — the suburb's private garden stock is exceptional, and couples who want an intimate home-based reception rather than a commercial venue find that our format scales elegantly for 40–80 guests in a garden setting.
