The Regional Series returns this winter with a journey through Rioja and Castilla y León, two regions where food and wine have evolved side by side for centuries. As with previous instalments, Tom Roberton from Alimentaria selects a Spanish wine region (or two) and the wines that best tell its story. Frank and Chef Gerry then build a menu around the dishes that have long found their place at the table alongside them.

Join us for a long lunch exploring two of Spain’s most celebrated regions through the dishes, wines and traditions that continue to define them.

Long lunch • Saturday 20 June • From 12pm • MoVida AQUI •
$160pp

Dinning room is now full, but we’ve opened additional seats at the bar and high tables for groups of 2–4 guests • More Info & bookings via the link in our bio ¡A comer!

MoVida back in Bali after far too long (large paella pans in hand). Great to be sharing a kitchen once again with former AQUI Head Chef and long-time friend Andrés Becerra, who hosted Frank and Chef Kane at as part of the Ubud Food Festival. Santanera has become one of Bali’s standout dining rooms in Canggu, with Andrés drawing on his Colombian roots, Mediterranean cooking and the island’s incredible produce. Safe to say his eye for detail is sharper than ever. ¡Hasta la próxima, Andrés! (quietly hoping we’ll get him back for Festival 2027 🤫)

It was a proper afternoon of whisky, sherry and good food at MoVida AQUI for Hellyers’ Iberian lunch last weekend.. One of those long, generous afternoons with good people, all juggling multiple glasses of whisky and sherry. The highlight was certainly the Hellyers Road The Iberian 10 Year Old (info via link in bio). Easy to see why Fiona was so excited to share it. Layered, with notes of stewed fruit, citrus and spice, it’s one to warm the cockles this winter. A big thank you to the team for joining us, and to everyone who pulled up a seat and made it what it was. Gracias mil.
