Simply Spanish South Melbourne

Went here for the giant paella. Worth the 30 minute waiting time. In the meantime snacked on some ribs, it taste so good as well. Went here for a late afternoon dinner. Location wise, should park near Aldi or coles, instead of the streets, it’s easier to access by walking and easily accessible using the number 12 tram. Had a good time enjoying first week back from months of lockdown

I would go get paella a few years back from South Melbourne markets from this same team. Was very happy to learn that a few years later they opened a restaurant in Melbourne CBD. Loved their paella.

It's been a long time since we were here and tonight's visit was a good reward for the tastebuds. This place is known for its gourmet paellas and tapas style dishes, so I was rather excited to come here. The seafood paella came out on a large pan filled with a generous amount of seafood. This was meant to be for two people but the three of us struggled to finish it all. We also enjoyed the Fried Goats Cheese, lightly crumbed balls on a bed of beetroot relish with hints of sweet and sour from the honey, rosewater and lemon. The Sautéed Garlic Mushrooms and Patatas Bravas woke up the palette in their own right. The former however is steeped in oil, which upset my stomach. Tonight's footpath dining experience was under cover and heated, though we constantly took our jackets off and put them back on after a few moments as the breeze swirled around us. Staff were polite and friendly but seemed a bit stretched at peak times. Hope to enjoy their other offerings here again in future.

Apparently the best Paella in the World (2018). Good food w great cocktails (beers as well). We had a selection of seafood and a Greek Lamb Paella. You will leave here full and satisfied.

Deliciously fresh and sweet grilled calamari and the big pan paella was so fragrant and colourful. Comparatively the squid ink paella was too subtle in flavour but very creamy.
