I would have to say this would be my favourite Spanish restaurant the food was absolutely amazing that we came back for dinner in the same day. Next time Im back in Melbourne I will visit their other restaurant in Fitzroy โManolo Bar & Restaurant โ Muchas grazias!!! brought me back to Spain ๐ช๐ธโฅ๏ธ๐
Had the best Pulpo a la gallega un years! Great restaurant with great food! Octopus was delicious, also the croquetas , potatoes tortilla. The tuna tartare wa stoo spicy in my opinion but overall everything was great. Our waiter Alex was great!
Food was tasty and the staff were kind, but service pacing needs improvement. We enjoyed the food and found the waiters genuinely friendly. However, the overall dining experience could be improved, mainly around timing and coordination. We started by ordering two specials with the intention of adding more tapas as we went. We were informed the specials would take some time, which was completely fine. The first dish arrived after about 30 minutes, no issue there. The problem was the gap between dishes. The second dish (a fried fish) only arrived 30 minutes after we had finished the first, despite multiple reminders (2โ3 times). During this period, we noticed other tables who arrived later, including those who ordered specials, being served before us. While the food itself was good, the long gaps between dishes affected the experience, and we ended up going elsewhere afterwards for more food. Iโd recommend being cautious when ordering the specials unless youโre prepared for a long wait.
Great experience! Diego was an excellent server, and the food was authentic and delicious. Must tries are the meatballs, eggplant buschetta, calamari, and oysters. Highly recommend!
Only one server/cashier/order taker and one chef BUT the food and service was simply five stars! Pretty worth it for the portion, Iโd say but do make reservations before coming. Ordered the chicken paella (37 per person because there is a minimum order of 2) that would take about 35 mins prep and had mussels and tuna salad while waiting. We visited on a Friday evening and were not disappointed at all. Very friendly and helpful recommendations- we even had the cheesecake at the end!
