Our story
Siesta started at a family table in Seville, Spain, where a gathering always meant a paella (or two) — and somehow, there was always room for one more chair.
Where it started
In Seville, you don't really "have people over" — you put a paella on, and suddenly everyone's there. That's just how it works. Birthdays, Sundays, someone popping by for five minutes that turns into five hours — there was always a pan on the fire and always space for one more chair.
Turns out food has a way of doing that: pulling people in, keeping them there, turning an ordinary afternoon into an occasion. We've been chasing that feeling ever since.
Why Siesta
Siesta started as nothing more than a love of cooking for the people I care about — invite a few friends over, put a pan on, watch a lunch turn into dinner. Somewhere along the way, a bigger idea crept in: why keep that to myself? Why not turn it into something anyone could be part of — good, honest food, cooked right in front of you and the people you love, whatever the occasion (or no occasion at all).
The mission is simple: gather everyone in, never rush, kick back, and stay as long as you like. It's called Siesta for a reason.
One pan, one table, nobody left standing at the edges.
Good food takes as long as it takes. So does a good time.
Siesta isn't just the name — it's the whole point.
The longer, the better. We mean that.
