Half-Price Paella

Overview

They say the best part of a paella is the crispy, caramelised crust at the bottom of the pan. Well, thanks to Richmond restaurant Mr Joe, you can now get your fix of crispy bits — and all the rest — for half the usual price, every single week.

The venue has kicked off a tempting new midweek offering, halving the price of its signature paella dishes every Thursday night. That means you can tuck into a hearty serving of the chicken and chorizo paella, or the vegetable and chickpea version, for just $8.50. Or, opt for the seafood paella, loaded with mixed shellfish and crayfish oil, for a very reasonable $11.

But why stop there? If you're thirsty, you can match your feed with 90 minutes of free-flowing cocktails for $39 — think, margaritas, mojitos, espresso martinis and mimosas. Plus, Mr Joe's new tapas menu will have you kicking off your paella party in style, with bites like the smoky meatballs, stuffed peppers, potato tortilla and ras el hanout pork skewers.
