    Top flight and outside the CBD. We ate croquettes, octopus, papas bravas, lamb skewers, salad, and on and on. Delicious and savory dishes all accompanied with a dry pink Spanish cava. Camilla and staff were gracious and diligent. We had a memorable evening indeed. Thank you making for our last holiday night in Melbourne memorable. We return to America happy.

    Great Spanish restaurant! I loved every detail from the beautifully patterned tiles to the music. Incredible service! And really good food. My favourites were the morcilla and the mushroom croquetas. The tortilla tasted good but I’d recommend making it a bit juicier but it’s a personal preference. I’ll visit you again 💃

    There’s not one item on the current menu I wouldn’t eat. We chose a Chef’s Feed Me Menu as we couldn’t decide. Every dish was outstanding.

    Staff were very helpful for the large group we had booked for and easily accommodated a few extra people who came on the day. No issues at all with the pre-ordered meals. Was a simple process to book for a large group. All meals were great and the lunch time special was great value.
