At La Paella Bend, we believe the best foods are made to be shared with friends. Inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Spain, we bring authentic flavors to Bend, Oregon, with handcrafted dishes that celebrate community, connection, and exceptional ingredients.
Cooking has always been in my blood. My father, a retired Navy cook, passed down his love for the kitchen, and I grew up inspired by his stories and dishes. My journey truly began when I had the incredible opportunity to train under the renowned Chef Devin. It was under his guidance that I honed my skills, especially in the art of making Paella—a dish that has become my specialty and personal favorite.
As a former firefighter, I know the importance of precision, dedication, and teamwork—values that seamlessly transitioned into my culinary career. Now, as the owner of a catering business and a father of four, I pour my heart into every dish, aiming to create memorable experiences for each of my clients. Cooking isn’t just a profession for me; it’s a lifelong passion rooted in family, tradition, and a desire to bring people together.
Every dish we prepare is a celebration of Spanish cuisine. From the vibrant colors of our paellas to the irresistible variety of our tapas, our menu is designed to transport you and your guests to the heart of Spain. We take pride in using only the freshest ingredients and time-honored techniques to create meals that are as unforgettable as the moments they accompany.
