It was only back in February that I first wrote about my favourite tapas joint in Sydney. But you see I did have the best intentions of writing about the new venture from the Bodega boys, but alas it isn’t opening until August or so.
And so I found myself back at the original which remains my pick as best tapas in the harbour city. I figures if it’s good enough to keep going back, it’s good enough to keep writing about.
loved
the open kitchen & communal tables
the service & the smooth way they handled my dining partner’s list of allergies
the anchovies – little flavour bursts
the empanadas – like the best ever pastie
the tamales – filling but so delicious
the wine list – great selection of spanish & south american treats
didn’t love
getting a parking fine – a good lesson in putting money in the meter
