Jacaval is a Melbourne hospitality company founded by Jamie Valmorbida, creating and operating places to eat, drink and gather.

Its portfolio spans restaurants, bars, pizzerias, gelato and produce — distinct businesses connected by a shared approach to thoughtful hospitality, creativity, craftsmanship and a strong sense of place.

Jacaval draws on a family history in Melbourne food and hospitality that stretches back generations. That history has shaped an understanding of the role hospitality can play in a city — creating places that become part of people’s routines, celebrations and communities.

Today, Jacaval takes those foundations forward in its own way, bringing together experience and instinct with a contemporary approach to hospitality. Each business is developed with its own identity, shaped by its idea, audience and setting, while sharing a commitment to creating places that feel relevant, generous and enduring.
