Devin was so great! He cooked for our family reunion of 22 people. He showed up right on time, was so nice and cooked up the most amazing Paella. He was also so great in accommodating our various dietary issues. Devin also made us the most delicious cheese board while the Paella cooked. We had the best time w Devin and can't wait to see him again the next time we are in Bend! read more

We had out of state visitors and decided to hire La Paella (Devin) to cater a dinner in our backyard. He set up his equipment on our deck, mixed up an amazing sangria, and greeted everyone. Devin explained the courses and the timing, and was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Each course he made for us got raves! Devin also brought along some incredible sauces to spice things up. It was really fun to watch him prepare the dishes in front of us with his Pizza oven and huge Paella pan. We all agreed that Devin's food was the best we had ever eaten. The paella was beautifully presented and the flavor outstanding. The lemon dessert was also delicious and complemented the dinner perfectly. Devin packed up all the leftovers and presented them to us as he left. We will definitely hire Devin again. The experience was wonderful! read more

I've been meaning to write this a review for a long time. La Paella catered a dinner for us in the home we rented in Sunriver Oregon in August 2020. The chef brought his entire outdoor kitchen with him and set it up on the patio, in the middle of Covid, wearing a mask and prepared the most fantastic paella ever. My kids were gracious enough to have arranged four catered dinners the week we were there and this was by far the best. The huge paella pan was arranged beautifully with big slabs of salmon on top and mini peas. The rice was the best I've ever had in a Paella. It was full of chorizo and other goodies. His prices are very reasonable as well, especially for catered events! I highly recommend anyone in the Sun River area calling La Paella for an incredible meal. read more

La Paella Bend - Paella - Caterers Near Me

The Best decision we made on our one- week vacation to Sunriver was to hire Devin for a paella night! I was looking for a reasonably priced way to feed our large family while still being able to stay at home and this was the perfect answer. Devin was super easy to work with, a prompt communicator and his menu was extensive, giving us an easy way to personalize it. It was a delight to spend the evening with him and see a master chef at work. Not only was it an exquisite meal, but we learned so much about local hotspots as well. And all at an incredibly reasonable price. I looked into having a local chef from the resort come and it was over double the cost! I highly recommend La Paella Bend for any gathering. You won't regret it! read more

Tried their paella at the Northwesr Crossing Farmers market. The chef special and house special are so yummy. They cater for as little as 8 people. We had them cater a dinner for us. Devin is so accommodating! Would definitely use them for larger parties! read more

We were fortunate to experience La Paella Bend last Wednesday night, and the food was delicious! Owners Devan and Wendy were extremely attentive and made great recommendations. The lobster appetizer was perfectly cooked and was absolutely scrumptious. The chicken + chorizo + shrimp paella was perfectly moist and had the perfect mix of spices. Would highly recommend to anyone that would like to experience the best paella in Oregon! We will be back! read more

We just used la paella Bend last night for me and my husband's anniversary dinner. With Covid going on we opted to stay in versus going out to a restaurant to minimize contact with people. Chef Devin did an amazing job. This is my first time hiring a chef but this experience has set the bar. I called around to multiple caterers and chefs in the area before choosing him and he was by far the most impressive. He responded to texts/calls/emails in a timely manner and was willing to do some special requests which we so appreciated. We felt so safe the entire time as he was masked and he set up his cooking station in the garage with the door open which again minimized contact with in the house. The food was SO good.. it was our first time having paella and we were very impressed with the flavor. He makes Everything from scratch including the salad dressing and oh my gosh the tomato compound butter he puts on the bread is out of this world! All garlic bread will fail in comparison now. Even my picky husband was impressed with everything we ate. The chili oil was also a hit. He surprised us with a complimentary bottle of wine for our anniversary and we thought that was so thoughtful. I would not hesitate to use him again! Prices are fair, service impeccable, food delicious which is Everything you could hope for. read more

Wow! We had Devin cater our microwedding and he did not disappoint. He has the best customer service and always responded to my emails in record speed. As for the day of, he was also a great communicator and set up his station outside. It's so fun to watch how it is made and the food was the most flavorful. The portions were huge and tasted like quality ingredients, his homemade chili oil is amazing. Before leaving he packed up the leftovers for us to have and made sure we were happy. I would hire him again in a heartbeat!! read more

Devin and Wendy cooked up the most fabulous paella meal for my husband's birthday party. The Jumbo Shrimp, Chorizo & Chicken with Peas paella was off-the-charts amazing, as was the tapas (Albondigas meatballs), salad, bread, and Quesada Pasi for dessert. A++ all around! read more

Delicious paella- great idea for a party- Devin is skilled chef with a terrific engaging personality.

La Paella Bend and Devin are simply amazing. We have had the pleasure of working with them twice now. First for a small family dinner and secondly they stepped up for our rehearsal dinner turned wedding party after we had to cancel the reception due to COVID. The pricing is fair, the food is masterful, and the customer service unparalleled. If you are considering booking with La Paella Bend, do not hesitate! read more

If you've never had paella then you have to try it! It's not like anything I've ever had before. Devin provides many choices for the meat, and also offers a vegan paella with tons of veggies. It's a delicious dish with a special rice, lots of wonderful spices, and usually 3 meats. My favorite is the chorizo (which he makes himself), chicken and shrimp. Just watching him at work with the huge paella pan is truly an experience! Devin and Wendy are a fantastic team, charming couple, love to entertain, and feed people amazing food. He also offers some tapas ideas too. Whether it's a small gathering or a birthday party for 100 people, Devin can accommodate you! Give it a try, you won't regret it!! read more

Devin made a spectacular dinner for 9 ladies for a 50th birthday in Sunriver last night and it was incredible. We wanted to fancy it up so we went with lobster, scallop and shrimp paella, 3 tapas, salad and dessert all of which was gorgeous to look at and even more delicious. Everyone wanted to book him after that. It was THAT good. read more

I have never posted a yelp review before today but felt compelled to jump on to review Devin and La Paella Bend. This past summer, we had a small family gathering outside of Bend, Oregon and Devin made the most amazing meal for 16 of us adults on the back patio of our vacation home. From the appetizers to the salad to the paella itself - it was FABULOUS. Not only was the food exceptional but the service he provided from the moment he showed up until he left was top notch. We can't wait to experience La Paella Bend for years to come and highly recommend them to small and large groups - young and old - locals and visitors to Bend!!! 5+ stars from our family! Thank you Devin! read more
