BEHIND THE KITCHEN
Cooking with love provides food for the soul.
Inspired by their heritage, our international chefs serve a little bit of Spain with every dish they create.
La Paella.
The rustic flavours of the classic Spanish paella are perfectly re-created in our kitchens. From the rich paprika and saffron highlights, to the perfectly caramelised socarrat, each aspect is meticulously crafted using fresh market ingredients.
Our passion for Spanish cuisine is what makes our paella the best outside of Spain. Our award-winning paella is a recipe centuries in the making, inspired by the masters themselves.
Since opening our first location 12 years ago, our paella has become as iconic as the South Melbourne Market itself. The pure joy of sitting on the sidelines and enjoying some paella with a glass of wine is unmatched. Experience the luscious flavours of Spain in Melbourne.
