How we read reviews →South Melbourne Market paella and tapas institution, loved by regulars despite patchy service
Buzzy market-side Spanish eatery with communal bar seating, open paella pans on display and a lively lunchtime crowd.
Paellas cooked to order in large pans within view of diners, bar seating for walk-ins, and a full sangria and Spanish wine list.
Multiple reviewers, including Spanish-speaking diners, rate the paella as good as anything they've had in Spain itself, praising its saffron rice and traditional tapas.
Reviews split sharply on value. some find the paella great value for sharing between two, others find portions small for $77-$80 seafood paellas.
