We cook with fire, passion, and a little bit of Spanish attitude.

At Paellas San Juan, we turn any gathering into a celebration — paellas bubbling over open flames, laughter in the air, and the smell of saffron, garlic, and smoke drifting through the crowd.

This is showcooking at its best: bold flavors, beautiful presentation, and an experience guests never forget.

From massive paellas and overflowing charcuterie spreads to oysters roasted over Pacific Northwest cedar — every event we do is alive, loud, and full of soul.

Fire. Flavor. Fiesta.

Plan Your Event

Bringing people together the way we were raised to-around good food, fire, and laughter.

    Weddings

    Crafted for couples who crave something unforgettable

    Our weddings go beyond catering-they’re an experience. Spanish paellas cooked over open flame, local ingredients transformed with soul, and a gathering that are deeply personal, because your wedding should taste as extraordinary as it feels. And the truth is: once your guests see the pan, smell the saffron, and hear that first sizzle… they’ll never forget it.

    Retreats

    A Journey Through Flavor, Tradition, and Spain’s Living Heritage

    Our retreats invite you to slow down and experience Spain through its most meaningful expressions-its food, its culture, and the places shaped by centuries of tradition. Together we cook, explore, wander through historic places, and share meals that tell stories. Each retreat blends the richness of Spanish heritage with connection, discovery, and the joy of gathering around the table.

    Private & SPecial Events

    Every celebration deserves soul

    We bring the paella pan wherever there’s a reason to gather—corporate dinners, birthdays, reunions, anniversaries, or any moment that calls for an unforgettable food and warm company. Expect the aroma of saffron, the crackle of the fire, the rhythm of the pan, and the kind of laughter that lingers long after the last plate is cleared. Your celebration becomes more than an event-it becomes a memory made with heart.
