Melbourne’s iconic restaurant MoVida will pop up at Sawyers Arms Tavern on Tuesday 28th and Wednesday 29th May for an evening of classic Spanish cuisine.

The Cena Especial (special dinner) will comprise four classic MoVida courses paired with carefully matched wines.

The event is a joyous reunion between Movida’s owner Frank Camorra and the Upham family, owners of Sawyers Arms Tavern. The Uphams previously owned the Lorne Hotel, of which MoVida Lorne was a key feature for many years.

Frank said “Our return to the coast with Sawyers Arms is like getting the band back together for an encore performance.  We're excited to prepare our classic dishes and reconnect with our loyal patrons from our time in Lorne. It will be a night of laughter and memories”.
