Introduction:
About the Company

The San Telmo Group is a Melbourne-born hospitality group operating five unique restaurants — San Telmo, Palermo, Asado, Pastuso & Robata. Each venue is united by fire, quality ingredients and unforgettable guest experiences. Founded in 2011 and still based in Melbourne, we are a team of passionate hospitality professionals who believe great food deserves great service. It’s an exciting time for the Group, with San Telmo Brisbane — our first interstate expansion — opening at the end of June 2026.
