Cooked over fire, right where you're celebrating
The way we grew up eating in Argentina: wood fire, slow-cooked cuts and a long table. We bring the parrilla and the ritual to your villa, Airbnb or backyard.
- Slow-grilled cuts, whole lamb, chorizo and morcilla
- Fish and vegetables over the coals
- Chimichurri, salsa criolla, fresh salads and bread
- For groups of 6 to 40, tailored to your occasion
We know the growers at the Byron, Brunswick Heads and Ocean Shores markets by name. Choosing the best local produce is a core part of what we do.
From our last gatherings
Hi, I'm Tico
Argentinian by roots, so warm by definition.
Welcome is a tailored catering venture run by me, chef Tico Michelotti. Our mission is to fill your gathering with food that becomes part of the experience, with a professional yet friendly, one-to-one approach from start to finish.
We've been settled in the Northern Rivers for four years. We love being close to the farms, the sustainability and the kindness of the people here, and that's what ends up on the table.
