Organic Passion Catering is a leading Byron Bay retreat catering company, specialising in vibrant plant-based and vegan cuisine for yoga retreats, wellness retreats, and immersive experiences. With decades of experience catering and hosting retreats, founder Anthea Amore understands how deeply food shapes the overall retreat experience, often becoming one of the reasons guests return year after year.

Our approach to retreat catering is centred on creating food that is healthy, nourishing, and genuinely exciting to eat, with a balance of clean, energising meals and dishes that deliver a real sense of enjoyment and satisfaction. We work closely with retreat hosts to ensure every menu aligns with the flow and intention of the program, whether that calls for light, detox-style meals or vibrant, abundant feasts designed to impress all guests, including non-vegans.

Offering full-service catering across Byron Bay, the Gold Coast, Brisbane, and beyond, we take care of every detail, from planning to cleanup, so you can focus on delivering an exceptional retreat experience. Our expertise includes gluten-free, dairy-free, raw, and refined sugar-free catering, ensuring every guest feels nourished, included, and well cared for.
