Final stop, ¡CATALUNYA!
For the last Regional Series lunch of the year, we’re heading to Catalunya. Tucked between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, it’s a place where the food moves between mountain and sea, with centuries of trade and influences from France and Italy along the way.
Frank has put together a menu celebrating the food of the region, including a favourite from Barcelona’s La Boqueria, while Tom from Alimentaria has chosen Catalan vinos to match. Come hungry.
MoVida AQUI • Saturday 24 October • $160 including food + w**e • More info & bookings via the link in bio

The Spanish have the right idea about the hour before lunch: don’t waste it. A glass of vermouth, something salty to eat and a little time at the bar.

VERMUT • Your choice of Rojo or Blanco vermouth
LA INDURAIN • A classic pintxo from San Sebastián with Emilia anchovy, house-conserved albacore tuna, Gordal olive and guindilla
TXISTORRA • Chargrilled Basque sausage with piperade and potato terrine
