El Rincon - Melbourne

We had two lovely times here at he El Rincon and loved the welcoming atmosphere as well as the very delicious food. We found this authentic jewel by chance and it was the perfect way to end our tours through the Queen Victoria Market. We felt like family, enjoyed the Tapas and had breakfast at the second time. Can’t recommend it highly enough! This is the place to enjoy very good Spanish food in Melbourne.

I first dined at El Rincon with a group of colleagues in late July (photos included) and the same group returned yesterday. Apart from tiny tables that are not quite fitting for Australian sized people , the service was good and prompt. Yesterday we ordered one tapas dish each, all but one sardine dish were different from the July dishes. They were all delicious but the fried sardines this time were quite old and a bit soggy. The sardine I had had big hard bones, I nearly chocked on it, so I had to remove all the tiny bones, however I still got pricked a couple of times.Apart from that, very happy with the services and food. Dish prices are a bit high for a casual lunch, this place is only for informal celebration of special occasions.

Yesterday, we had a enjoyable tapas lunch at this restaurant. The staff were friendly and helpful, the service was fast, and the food was delicious. They have a good variety of wines, but we only had time for one glass. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating, with a back area that connects to the Vic Market food court. Overall, it's a fantastic spot for lunch!

My sister-in-law and I recently enjoyed dinner at this cozy Spanish restaurant, and we were blown away! We were both so impressed with the welcoming service, delicious food, and fantastic sangria. We will definitely be returning to this delightful spot next time we are in Melbourne. Thank you, El Rincon!

The restaurant serves delicious authentic food, wine, and beer. The atmosphere is great and the staff were very accommodating, even with our large, loud group who stayed for 3 hours. We were so happy that we didn't want to leave! I highly recommend this place.
