Viva La Vida Wine & Tapas Bar

Thanks VIVA for being such a responsive business partner for our start up art-walk-eat. Our first visit was absolutely perfect in every way.

Great restaurant, Wine and tapas bar with fresh local produce and fabulous staff. We had a wonderful dinner here. Sat in the open air. Staff were polite and helpful and the food was delicious. Certainly would like to go again. You don't need to go to the waterfront.

The menu has plenty of choices with the tapas and the drinks being fantastic. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great dinner with good service.

Have been a Viva fan for years. Viva has just reopened after renovations. Changed to stylish Tropical, with a new menu and now open for breakfasts too which I can't wait to try for Saturday brunch.

The menu is more comprehensive, better size serves and has a wider range than previously. All was delectable, regrettably the bacon popcorn was sold out, but the chicken popcorn was wonderful. I ate probably one of the best truffle mac-n-cheese I've ever had. I look forward to going for dinner soon too. One whinge, pre-renovation Viva made the absolute best cheese croquettes, - I always ordered them, but they didn't make the new menu... A great place to catch up with friends/family: I can see brunch stretching into the afternoon, after work drinks into dinner!

Not even a bottle of fresh cold water on the table which is standard across all Darwin restaurants due to the climate here. The menu was bland and boring. We tried the mac
