Catering & private events since 2016 established in the San Juan Islands

     We specialize in Mediterranean & Spanish Cuisine, offering an extensive selection of traditional Spanish tapas and pintxos featuring local seafood, meat, or vegan dishes. Bridging the gap between typical catering and restaurant experiences, we cater to various formats such as buffet, seated dinner, activation stations, or customized combinations. 

   As a self-sufficient Catering Service, we bring all necessary cooking equipment and staff to your event, ensuring seamless service from formal dinners to casual gatherings. Committed to quality, we source the best products from local farmers. 

 Our hospitality fosters a virtuous cycle of generosity, where our dedication and expertise converge to create memorable dining experiences for you and your guests. A standout feature of our service is cooking paella onsite, allowing guests to gather, share drinks, tapas, pintxos, and laughter. Having catered over 400 events in the last 8 years across the San Juan Islands, Seattle, and Oregon. 

  The owner and creator of Paellas San Juan has worked for more than 35 years in the gastronomic sector throughout Spain in places like Minorca, the Canary Islands, Cordoba and Barcelona, in this last city he led a team in a cutting-edge restaurant of exotic tapas. He has also assisted courses in the city of Barcelona that were presented by the Sous-chef of El Bulli, restaurant owned by Ferran Adrian. With his experience and his passion for gastronomy, he started this business at the Friday Harbor farmers market in 2016 and it has continued to grow since then. 

   We always work with the best products and local farmers. Like Westcott Bay, where we buy all of our shellfish, North Sound Seafood, where we buy all of our spot prawns, Talking horse ranch, where we buy some of our meats, Auroras Farm, where we buy our pork. Sweet Earth Farm, where we buy some of our veggies.  

   We invite you to experience hospitality as a virtuous cycle of generosity - where all our effort, artistry, and expertise are devoted to one purpose: you and yours feeling celebrated and connecting over a great meal. What makes us a unique catering option is that we cook the paella in front of your guests as they gather around and experience the pleasure of the fabulous aromas, share drinks, tapas, pintxos and laughter.   

   We have catered over 400 events in the last 8 years, these events not only have been on the San Juan Islands but also in the Seattle area and Oregon.
