Delicious Vegan & Plant-based
Catering for Your Retreat

Organic plant-based cuisine, thoughtfully crafted to nourish your guests and elevate your retreat

Organic Passion Catering is a leading vegan retreat caterer based in Byron Bay, specialising in vibrant plant-based cuisine for yoga retreats, wellness immersions, and transformative gatherings. With decades of experience, founder Anthea Amore understands that food is not just sustenance—it is central to the retreat experience, often becoming the reason guests return, time and again.

Anthea’s approach is intuitive and refined: nourishing, whole-food vegan menus that feel as good as they taste. Working closely with retreat hosts, she ensures every menu aligns seamlessly with the rhythm and intention of the program, whether that calls for light, detox-inspired meals or abundant, beautifully curated feasts.

Sourcing from Byron Bay’s fertile food bowl, Anthea selects organic, local ingredients at their seasonal peak, crafting plant-based menus with depth, creativity, and effortless simplicity. Offering full-service catering across Byron Bay, Gold Coast, Brisbane and beyond, she can manage every detail—from planning through to service and cleanup—allowing you to focus entirely on your guests.

With expertise in gluten-free, dairy-free, refined sugar-free cuisine or dietary considerations, every menu is thoughtfully designed so each guest feels nourished, included, and exceptionally well cared for.

Where Love & Food Meet…
