How we read reviews →Melbourne CBD's go-to for squid-ink paella, tapas and family-recipe sangria on tap.
Warm, lively and authentically Spanish - Spanish-language music and decor, small intimate dining room near Queen Victoria Market with indoor and outdoor seating.
Sangria on tap made to a family recipe, owner (Adriana) personally greets tables, trading close to 40 years, sister venue Manolo Bar in Fitzroy.
Strong - multiple Spanish-speaking reviewers and a French visitor specifically praise it as tasting like Spain, with almost 40 years of history and Spanish emigre staff.
Mixed - many call it worth every dollar for authentic flavour, but a notable minority say portions run small and pricey for the cost, including a AU$37-per-person minimum-two paella.
