About
During the nineties Manuel worked in the kitchens of several restaurants in Madrid as well as the family restaurant, while he attended university. After his apprenticeship and hard work he decided to use this degree, leaving the kitchens behind for a few years. It was after arriving to Australia in 2009 when his passion for cooking ignited again and started Paellas and Tapas Traditional in Perth , that earned him recognition and success.

The amazing Paella that we prepare cannot be rushed. We will arrive to the venue 30 minutes earlier to set up. It takes about an hour sometimes a bit more to cook the Paella. The aroma of the Paella as it cooks means that people really look forward to their Paella Dish. In some occasions we may drop equipment the day before the Event.
There are many types of Paella. The most popular Paellas are meat, most commonly chicken based, seafood and vegetarian; all of which are delicious. My favourite Paella it’s the Black Rice Paella , using squid ink, with aioli. My mum’s favourite was chicken and prawn Paella (Paella mixta).
We need approximately a 2m x 3m space to provide paella catering. The size of the catering event will dictate space requirements. For Tapas Catering we will require a larger space.
No, the Paellas have not chilli on them, some of the Tapas may have a bit of chilli. We can prepare them to your taste. Just tell us when you make your booking.
Yes, All of our Paellas are Gluten Free
Yes, our Vegetarian Paella contains no animal products, eggs or nuts.
We aim to be totally self-sufficient wherever possible. We need under cover area and if the Catering event it’s in the evening, electricity to light the Paella and Tapas cooking. We may you need your oven for some of the Tapas.
If you have suitable food storage containers, we can place any leftover Paella into them, it can easily last for 3-4 days. We have as well eco-friendly compostable take away containers should you require them.
Typically 20 people for a single Paella is the minimum. We are able to Cater easily for 100 or 200 in a single sitting.

We provide Catering pretty much for anything you can think of. We have Catered for Corporate Events, Birthdays, Engagements, Weddings, Anniversaries and Christenings.
I (Manuel) prepare and cook the way my Mum and grandmother taught me when I was growing up in Madrid. If you are looking for a Traditional Spanish experience, then Paella and Tapas Traditional is what you have been looking for. Paella is Traditionally a communal dish so it is ideal for any large gathering because it is simple, tasty and easy to serve. A feature of any good Paella is the spectacle; from watching it being cooked, and then finally getting to taste it and tantalise the senses.
We require a 15% deposit to secure the booking. Deposits are non – refundable.
We will quote Paella and Tapas per person, the price reflects the quality of the ingredients, most of them Spanish when possible, the transport, the insurances, the staff and the traditional preparation of the stock, which take hours and the generous portions.
