I imagine that way back in the day, when times were simpler and our food wasn’t presented in front of judges to be torn apart, paella was something of a crowd favourite. That’s not to say it’s easy to make, anyone who has ever ended up with a stodgy clump of wet rice when trying to entertain a Spanish friend will attest to that.

So how do you satisfy that craving without looking the fool? You get someone else to do all the hard work and head to Vicky Cristina’s where, with a little help from our friends, you can get a Deluxe Seafood Paella for two for just R170. We’re not talking any old paella, we’re talking the kind of place that has built a reputation on treating diners like old family and friends.

Each diner is served a paella. Scented with saffron, the paella is piled with shellfish, calamari and chicken for a new take on a Spanish classic.

Go on don’t be a hero, take the easy way out and enjoy a meal fit for a Spanish king.
