AI Summary

Moody Bourke St Spanish tapas bar known for anchovy with tomato sorbet, crab crumpets and paella.

Dark, intimate and stylish, with an open kitchen to watch and warm Spanish-leaning hospitality. The dim lighting suits date nights but can make menus hard to read.

Tapas and set menus, seafood and squid-ink paella, extensive Spanish wine and sherry list, bar seating, open kitchen, gluten-free and vegan options and occasional special lunches such as a Basque cider house day.

Spanish tapas, paella and sherry traditions with modern flair. Some travellers say it matches Spain, while purists question the paella and seasoning.

Pricey for small plates. Set menus give a fuller feed and the standouts justify the bill for many, but several diners felt value fell short.
