East Handy Store

East Bairnsdale's booked-out tapas degustation. paella, a fire pit and chef Josh on guitar.

An intimate garden fire pit gives way to a moody, art-deco-tinged dining room. casual yet refined, like dinner at a friend's place with a hatted chef.

A converted milk bar with an outdoor fire pit, no printed menu, chef Josh explaining and serving each dish personally, and a guitar-and-vocals finale.

A personal blend of Spanish tapas tradition, French technique and native Australian produce, shaped by chef Josh's own culinary background.

Reviewers repeatedly call it 'worth every cent' for hatted-calibre cooking, noting the equivalent experience in Melbourne would cost roughly three times as much.
