Pamella Tomio is head chef at Ovolo Hotel’s Lona Misa, the incredible plant-based restaurant brought about by hospitality legends, Shannon Martinez and Ian Curley. Pamella was such a joy to talk to. She was so generous in what she shared with me about growing up in hospitality in Brazil, coming to Australia and what she loves about working at Lona Misa. Pamella is cooking veggie dishes on the Josper grill and is passionate about flavour and bringing people together over food. If you haven’t checked out the South Yarra Ovolo hotel. you are really missing out. It is bright and arty and there for a good time and that alongside Pamella’s food and her incredible heart for hospitality make it a place that is good for the soul
