I dined at anada for the first time last night and I was blown away with the delicious food and great service.
We got the tasting menu with wine pairing and every dish was absolutely mouth watering. From the oysters, to the bone marrow - everything was perfect.
Can’t thank you guys enough!
What a wonderful place. The food was interesting and faultless. The staff were warm and interested. The venue was small and welcoming. What isn't to like for two Sydney folk far from home. I cannot recommend it highly enough - they even had a couple of craft beers to cater for my thirst and a delicious sangria for Delia :)
We enjoyed very interesting (and delicious) food and found the service and value to be excellent. We recommend Anada very highly.
We were here last night for my birthday tapas! We have been once before, we loved it so much we came back! Such amazing food and quality staff! Shout out to Phillipe who served us last night..he is awesome! Would highly recommend!
The atmosphere, food and service was impeccable. Very friendly staff. Will definitely be back!
Great atmosphere, delicious food and extremely attentive service. We had dinner for 9 people there on Saturday night - 2 crustacean allergies, 1 nut allergy, 1 vegetarian and 1 non pork eater - a challenge! We had the chef's selection and they catered for all of us, bringing different plates when needed. So many good dishes. The waiter was one of the best I've had. We'll be back.
Anada is one of our favourite restaurants. Hats off to the chefs for always providing outstanding dishes, and highly commend the staff for their generous hospitality everytime we have visited Anada. Filipe is truly a superb host and always makes us feel so welcome. Highly recommend for delicious tapas and excellent service.
Exceptional food. Mouth watering. Simply delicious. Excellent service. Just go there. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Fantastic, unpretentious and authentic Spanish food with warm and friendly staff. Would most definitely be coming back.
Great food, great atmosphere & great service. I'm so happy we went!
Great food, great service, great wines. Chef's menu.
Lovely food and a cracking sherry to finish off with. A real find.
Stunning dinner tapas and amazing seafood paella with squid ink and fabulous red sangria plus mojitos - great for a small gathering family birthday celebration. Highly recommended. Thanks
Service was spot on and food was oh so tasty. Standouts were the home aged chorizo, gazpacho, Jamon iberico and the seafood paella.

Pure class here. It’s a gorgeous place. The restaurant looked magical spotted from the street on a welcome balmy Melbourne evening. Inside was wonderful too and much enhanced by a wobderful sound system. The initial service was superb. It’s not easy to beat being served by a good looking foreigner with a lovely smiling manner and an encyclopedic knowledge of the menu and wine list. So, we were near sold before we’d had anything to eat or drink.
Thankfully, we adored our meal from start to finish. It started with excellent sourdough, top quality olive oil and fantastic peppery dukka. We then had a succession of marvellous small dishes. Mushroom croquettes, deep fried mussels, Harvey bay scallops (quote from our seafood obsessed friend “those scallops are the best ever anywhere”) and stuffed peppers. We couldn’t fault any of these wonderful dishes. They were exceptional. We concluded with a magnificent seafood paella which was replete with seafood and flavour. I’ve only tasted one better. It was superb.
Our wine tonight was a white Tempranillo. We’d never had anything like it. It’s a beauty. We concluded with a lovely Douro ruby port and a muscadelle. Both were wonderful.
This is a very very good restaurant. No wonder it is so highly rated. Highly recommended
Warm and cosy ambience. Intense strong explosion flavour in your mouth. Yellow fin tuna in jamon fat and quail paella was our favourites. Professional and polite service. Definitely be back and want to try the sister restaurant bomba
Amazing - love this place! The girl that looked after I was super friendly too which always makes the experience better. Plus the sangria - fruity times!
Had the raw lamb - MUST GET if it’s on the menu!
Bone marrow w/ ox tongue - ALSO must get.
Everything else was also amazing so just try it all if you’re adventurous. The sauce that came with the baby eggplant was divine (teeny bit spicy) too! Cheese lovers will love the croqueta.
Would definitely recommend this place to anyone :)
Will come back to try the paella because I felt that would’ve made us too full to try the rest!
What great food in this little Gertrude st gem! Great tapas, good wine list including some good Spanish drops.
Had the set menu which was really good and covered the couple of things really wanted to try. The tuna carpaccio was so good
One of my absolute favourite places! Definitely worth a hike to Fitzroy. There is always new tapas to try, and they make a killer sangria. Bone Marrow is a must try.
Amazing food was just delicious the duck was cooked perfectly and beautifully presented flawless flavours. Everything was great thank you so much for a wonderful dinner to the wait staff and kitchen both did an amazing job. Keep up the good work.
Amazing!! What a wonderfully diverse, unusual and interesting menu. We had everything I posted in the photos and I recommend every one of them. The staff were wonderfully nice and helpful as well.
The paella here is authentic and well cooked with a nice crispy bottom. The croquettes are nice and fluffy and the staff here are always attentive. Reservations required as it is not a large restaurant and gets busy.

There's a lot of enticing items at this modern Spanish eatery, a few dirty words such as "Jamon Iberico" and "bone marrow" was enough to make this my dinner choice. A little nod of approval by fellow foodies Hello. Imnikki and One Piece Left the hype train had definitely left!
We start off with some Joselito Jamon Iberico which I admit looked kind of sad not that I know what 20g looks like. Take me back to Spain and they'd cover that entire plate. The jamon itself doesn't look like it had been sliced properly to the correct bite size and it was kind of awkward dividing 2 pieces between 3 of us. Taking a look back, I've had a look at other people's reviews/photos and I think they may have given us the wrong portioning of jamon. As expected however the flavours were explosive, you want to keep that slice in your mouth as long as possible and gradually release those flavours. At $18 you'd want to.
We also got some bite-sized morsels of duck heart, liver and chicken chicharron. Very rich, creamy and crunchy from the chicharron which was suprisingly from chicken, tasted very much like pork rinds. Accompanying our meals was complimentary bread which was fluffly and a great vessel for soaking up that olive oil.
The tuna in jamon fat and sesame was also very nice. Thinly sliced tuna soaked and glistening from the fat which added some richness and saltiness. They were pretty liberal with the sesame seeds also which gave it a snappy texture and nutty taste.
One of their special items was a veal croqueta, delicate shell with a blob of bone marrow on top. Meat was juicy and the marrow just melded with the rest. Disgustingly nice. The eggplant tapas was giving me Mexican vibes with the addition of fermented green chillies, the eggplant itself was a plump globe and creamy on the inside.
The finely cut raw lamb came with a peppery cracker which was extremely crispy and dense, snapping it actually took effort and the shattered in your mouth. The lamb was soft and not gamy at all. We also had bone marrow with ox tongue and rye bread. Another item off the menu to stack your ingredients on top of a crisp, the ratios were a bit off and more ox tongue would have been appreciated. It all worked well together however with the Pedro Ximenez giving it that grapey sweetness.
For raciones we got the rump steak with strawberry harissa which was great for the most part, a small portion of it had gristle but the rest was perfectly juicy and flavourful. For side we got fennel fingers with smoked egg yolk and crushed hazelnuts. Nice char flavour on the fennel, stringy and some parts inedible. Nothing to whinge about.
Speaking of whinging, I do have a mini rant. We rocked up 10 minutes after our booking time, ordered a wine and took time to peruse the menu. The food flow was great, there was a bit of a break between waiting for our raciones and by dessert time, we were told we won't have time to enjoy dessert. The allocated time block is usually 1 hour 45 minutes and I'm assuming they want to strictly enforce that. What was a bit of a shame was that while they were doing a turnover, it didn't seem like our table was going to be replaced with new patrons any time soon (there were free tables and there wasn't any groups of people waiting).
They did say that we could enjoy a Crema Catalana (probably easiest to prepare). The crust was thicker than normal and it took a bit of force to shatter the top, we didn't mind it as we enjoyed the sweet zesty shards. The custard was smooth and I wished we ordered more than one.
It was a real shame about dessert though, instead of ending on a sweet note it did leave me a little sour (more so than it should). I think they could have accommodated us, we didn't insist, maybe we should have. I had been eyeing that dessert menu all night and was ready to go all out with dessert and a fat cheese platter! Despite some gripes I had the food was delicious and ever evolving (their menu has not yet been updated on their website or Zomato).
Special shout out to our waitress, not only was she personable but she genuinely wanted to know what we thought of our dishes and was very knowledgeable about the food and wine.
So glad I finally made it to Anada. Such a fantastic little tapas restaurant! We decided to stick to ordering a range of the smaller share plates and the individually portioned tapas dishes. We tried the croquettes, the anchovy on charcoal bread, the raw tuna, the lamb tartare, the baby eggplants and the chorizo. Everything was exception but the tartare was my personal favourite. Staff were also friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.
Staff were amazing and food was even better! Best paella I’ve ever had! I’ve always had paella here and there but it was never anything special but this was the one time I was taken aback with how much flavour it had! Would definitley go back !!
If you want amazing Spanish food I highly recommend Añada... delicious and fresh food, good selection of wines and great service. It could be a little expensive but it’s worth it!
Had a really lovely night here. Staff were super friendly. We did the chefs selection and the goat and the baby cos were a treat! Would go back again for sure
Food was delicious. Especially smoked duck torrija was amazing. Wine (prana tempranillo) was good. They explained each dish very well. Atmosphere was good and people was friendly. Look forward to go in back again soon.
Anada is truly unique restaurant in the heart of Fitzroy. They have the most beautiful spanish blends of food from all parts of the world we can’t get any where in Melbourne they’ve also created these fusion of flavours that I’ve never tasted anywhere. The Head Chef Maria has this unbelievable talent of taking you on a holiday while eating dinner in your home town. She has created Anada’s beautiful Mediterranean blend with such ease and beauty. The result is a menu full of tapas and raciones, share foods that make eating out with friends & Winnie’s an absolute treat.

Let's start off with the excellent hospitality here. There is great service, and then there is extraordinary service. Anada falls under the latter. When our waitress saw me scraping the bits of rice stuck on the bottom of the paella pan, she came over and took over the job of scraping from me. She was friendly, approachable, helpful and very observant.
Just like the service, the food was flawless. The smoked duck heart had incredible depth of flavours and the most perfect chewy yet firm texture. The bone marrow was the stuff that sweet dreams are made of - rich, buttery, savoury and melt-in-your-mouth goodness. The venison was succulent and full of meaty flavour. Each and every dish just kept the foodgasm coming.
Even the desserts that sounded plain on paper turned out to be wonderful explosion of flavours. The Sangria was also a hit with our taste buds - fruity, slightly sweet and strong.
While I did have a few great meals recently, but when compared to my experience at Anada, Anada blows everything else out of the water. If I could give a rating of more than 5, there's no doubt I would.
This restaurant deserves more than just a 5. We were warmly welcomed by the waiters as soon as we stepped in and was quickly seated. We didn't really know what to order so we asked the waiter and her recommendations were on point. We ordered the mushroom croquets, bone marrow, seafood paella, baby snapper and baby cos and everything was absolutely amazing. The paella is a must order because it's actually the best paella I've ever had. We will definitely be back
5 of us tried a few tapus with paella, excellent food, great customer service. Reasonable price, perfect chill out during weekend. Lovely ambience
Lovely service and food was great. Wait staff took time to recommend and explain dishes, especially those which were more unusual, like the goat carpaccio. Food was lovely, well balanced, and flavorful. Atmosphere was warm and inviting for a cold night.

A five is selling this place short!
Was looking for some paella and decided to try this highly rated restaurant.
Loved everything that I ordered, some offal that I hadn’t tried before. The pig trotter bikini was a highlight and the squid ink paella was one of my favourite dishes of the year and I’ve had a fair few !
Our waitress Emily was friendly and very attentive and enhanced our dining experience
Will be back to try the goat paella
Went here for dinner on a Sunday night. Such a cute and cozy restaurant located in Fitzroy. The best paella I’ve ever had & the dessert tasting plate was delicious. Great service and food 👌🏼
We went in last night to celebrate a friend’s birthday and had the chefs tasting (one vegetarian) and matching wines, finishing with dessert and reserve pedro ximenez. Everything was tasty and delicious - highlights being the oysters, fish and lamb belly. Service was fantastic - special mention to Liza for looking after us.
One of the best meals I have had in a long time, everything from the setting, the team, the menu and the wine list – PERFECT!! I can’t believe this little Spanish tapas joint has been here for 10 years and I have only just found it. Searching for a little place for a birthday dinner before a band at the Workers Club, this was a great location, just a short walk down and near the Everleigh for cocktails too! It’s small and intimate, maybe 30 seats tops and it’s steady service with a smile and a menu that can stretch even an adventurous palate with smoked ducks hearts and pigs trotter bikinis…. Honest!
Ticked all the boxes. Great food. Great service. Will surely come back. The only reason why I am not giving it a 5 is because the place is small and voices bounce on the wall making it extremely loud. Not sure if that can be adjusted. On the previous version of Zomato I would have rated the place 4.5 unfortunately that option is no longer available.
😱Lizzie’s first impression: the ambience, the food and the staff here are all impeccable - one of the best Spanish restaurants I have had the pleasure of trying in Melbourne!
🍩Lizzie enjoyed: I loved every dish especially the duck and the muscles! The negroni cocktail was also very delicious - so good we ordered two each.
🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: N/A
🥇Lizzie rates overall: the best Spanish tapas and share dishes and I would come back here time and time again !!
We absolutely love Añada. We’ve been here a few times to celebrate things. We’ve also brought various friends who, like us, have fallen in love with it. Every single item we’ve ever had has always been delicious and packed full of flavor. We also love the format (tapas style) of sharing lots of little and medium things as you get to try more delicious stuff. The ambiance is really nice (both inside and out) but book ahead as the place is small and very popular. Highly recommended.
Anada at Fitzroy. Valentines special menu and love the desserts best The tasting style menu is designed to highlight foods that are considered aphrodisiacs served through courses inspired by the first stages of love.
Fantastic service from Felipe, succulent dishes and great atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Anada and highly recommend it. Will be back to try the seafood paella!
After a holiday in Spain earlier in the year, I just needed to a taste of Spain again, and Anada did not let down. Simple, delicious ingredients prepared beautifully! A nice little drinks list too, service could not have been better. Was a little cramped for my parents but I thought it added to the charisma of this little gem :) A great little place!
One of my favourite go to restaurants for tapas.
Their take on gazpacho is beautiful and the tasting menu never fails.
Great selection of wine as well
Perfect little Spanish tapas restaurant. Our server was super nice and was very helpful in explaining each item on the menu.
My partner and I tried pretty much a bit of everything and everything exceeded the expectation.
If you have a sweet tooth like myself, definitely get the dessert tasting plate, you will not regret it.❤️
My partner likes savoury food and his favourite was the pig trotter bikini prawn bisque, it literally melts in your mouth.
Only thing is, it does get a bit loud when it’s full. But still 💯
Anada is small, but always delicious. With a slightly seasonal menu, this place is best experienced with a group that’ll allow a wide sampling of their hot and cold dishes. I’m not too into organ meat, but there are enough options to see most eaters happy. And I’m a fan of the dessert platter!
Visited Anada for my anniversary... Really delicious food and amazing service. The bar staff were super friendly and chatty. Would definitely go again. 😀
What can I say. Staff : ☑️☑️☑️ Food: ☑️☑️☑️ Decor:☑️☑️☑️ I should note toilets were SPOTLESS Service:☑️☑️☑️ Food: ❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️
Book this restaurant for my 33rd bday tonight. The staff were sensational the service was fantastic and the food was delicious.
Has been a while since we have gone somewere with such attentive service,immaculate decor and mouth watering food.
The wine list was superb with a plethora of a selection.
highly recommend this gem. will be hard to beat this experience. the food was authentic and mouth watering. we nearly licked the plates
thank you for such a memorable and enjoyable night
I can't believe I have not tried Spanish food sooner. Ever since trying it a few years ago, I've fallen for the cuisine. Anada does Spanish food more than justice - with their tapas style menu, you are able to try a little bit of everything; especially when you come with a large group of friends. Staff were very accommodating and provided superb service. Explained the dishes very well, and the dishes I felt, were fairly priced. The restaurant is a little dark so photos aren't the greatest at night, but the restaurant carries a nice, relaxed ambiance. Would recommend again and again!
Had dinner there with my wife. Great restaurant with excellent service. Food was super tasty and prepared exceptionally well. It’s not cheap but very well worth it.
Great tapas place in Fitzroy. The jamon was nice and salty, too bad they don't have bigger serving. The bikini are great and very soft. I expected more from the chorizo since it's home made but it turns out to be pretty average. Paella was bland too which is disappointing. The ox tongue are soft. Service are excellent, attentive and food comes out quick!
Añada, you have taken my taste buds on a roller coaster ride of flavour. Going to Añada is quite possibly one of the best decisions I’ve made this year. The service was top notch, the ambience is an amazing balance of classy and fun and the food is remarkable. We had the Chef’s tasting menu and that was a culinary journey never to be forgotten. Every single dish had such a distinct feel & taste and the variations left nothing else to be desired. Thank you Añada and I will definitely be seeing you Añada time. 5.0 stars!
Good service！
But…charged sparkling water
Paella，normal taste
Pork belly，cooked average but I love the sauce
Barramundi and Ox tongue with bone marrow，still normal…
Great service. Good wine. Not a fan of the dessert platter however. None of the 5 items were led by myself or my partner. Cosy little place and would return
Amazing celebration dinner. Service and food both great. The tasting menu was spot on. Every plate was delicious and full of that smokeyness that only Spanish food can deliver. Well worth the visit. Churros con chocolate was a brilliant way to end the evening... An interesting take on a classic desert, the accompanying blood orange icecream was divine.
Gertrude Street has always been a place that I typically wander accidentally into on my travels. The long leafy street is a vibrant hub that attracts a mix of locals, weekend visitors and an endless stream of tourists wondering what all the fuss is about. The magic of this part of the world is that it is so very unassuming that first-time visitors might just start to wonder why they came in the first place, but that very thing is what makes Gertrude St such an attractive and popular prospect. Littered with pubs, cafe’s and new eateries – it possesses an every changing array of tastes and styles that are as random and eclectic as the Melbourne weather itself. The issue is – although I am a regular loiterer in this area specifically – I rarely get enticed to pop in for a bite to eat.
Food was delicious! The service was incredible. Top pick was the pork belly and the dessert platter. I shared a jug of sangria which topped off the night perfectly. Will 100% be back again!
Spanish restaurants are one of my favourite destinations when I head out to eat, as I can always look forward to enjoying the well rounded hearty flavours and great Spanish wines. From the large selection of Spanish tapas restaurants in Melbourne, Añada has to be one of my favourites, with a lovely, cosy interior and great staff, Añada makes you feel welcome before you even try any of their delectable food offerings.
Great tapas and atmosphere in this place. Knowledgeable and professional staff will guide you through ordering the best the house has to offer.. Must try if you like Spanish food.
5 star service, 5 star desserts, 5 star wines!
We're so glad we stumbled into this adorable place around 11pm on Saturday. The kitchen was closed, but they let us order the magical dessert platter and cheeses and didn't rush us out of there even though we were the last table left. If you're like me and don't want to drink alcohol, pick the pomegranate soda! Beautifully sweet and refreshing - bonus points for being an instagrammable colour. Each item on the dessert platter was so enjoyable and for $25 it's absolutely worth sharing with a friend because you get FIVE different desserts on there! I'll be back to try food... And another go at the dessert platter (IT'S SO GOOD)!
Fabulous tapas bar in the heart of Fitzroy, with a lovely dimly lit ambiance. Highly recommend the saltbush lamb, potatas bravas, chorizo and croquettes. Great wine selection, friendly and attentive service. Will be returning!
Amazing experience. I honestly enjoyed every dish to it. The tapas was amazing and it was affordable too, you could taste a bit of everything when you go for that option instead. 1. Oysters, were very yummy, had a spicy kick to it. Probs from tobasco? 2. Croquettes, cheesy but with a sweet after taste. Crispy on the outside. 3. The chorizo.. house made and it had the perfect spices! Really went well with the aioli, not even the Spanish grocery store can compare to this. 4. The scallops were very nice! It smelt like a stir fried Asian dish, perhaps from the excessive amount of shallots and garlic. It was very aromatic. 5. The crab with sweet corn soup (I enjoyed this a lot), it was sweet and creamy with nice shredded crab. Very popular, I enjoyed it. $25 for the dessert plate, I liked it! And the paella was cooked nicely. The food was wonderful.. I mean I do remember how it tastes like, so definitely made a mark in my heart
Alessandro Love Good Food
+4.5
What a great night. 1st time here and I can tell you won't be the last. Great atmosphere, spanish music good food we share some tapas and we had the paella meat for me and fish for the better half both was amazing great service and really nice selection of wine.
Oh what a dinner! I convinced my friend, who's always on a bloody diet, to try out this little restaurant and even she was happy to let (her belt) loose! The dishes were very well cooked and flavoursome, and the service was spot on! We had 5 dishes to share, and had to get 1 extra as heir serving size was on the smaller side... but who cares! It meant we got to try something else!
Perfect night, got there and it had a really warm atmosphere. The authentic waiters added colour and clarity to every dish by describing the region of the food, matching the perfect wine to the food and explaining the modern twist on the traditional food. We found the place easy to talk to each other and intimated in a reduced space. Highly recommend, will be back when I'm in town.
Excellent service and delicious modern Spanish food. There were four of us so we shared a few dishes. We unanimously chosen the Beef Brisket and Polvito Uruguayo dessert as the best dishes. The Spanish boy that served us had a nice chat with us, gave his menu recommendations and explained what the dishes were. Overall - great experience!
Went here with for a couple's dinner on a Wednesday night and was very impressed. Cosy, warm atmosphere with friendly service.
Unable to decide what to pick out of the 'everything sounds amazing' menu, we went with the Chef's Choice Tasting Menu at $58/head.
We recieved the following:
House made bread with dipping oil - dense & sour...yum
Natural oysters - fresh and simple
Jamon platter - buttery, melt in your mouth kind pleasure
Tomato & almond salmorejo w spanner crab - refreshing and tasty
Hervey Bay Scallop - smokey and again full of flavour
Chargrilled quail w hazelnut - simple but satisfying
Baby Cos with orange, palm heart & pickled shallots - excellent mix of textures and flavours
Pan Roasted Spanish Mackerel - loved this...crispy skin and perfectly seasoned.
Roasted Chickpeas & spinach - by now very full...but still enjoying
Confit pork belly w beetroot puree - melted away again in a perfect end to the meal
Highly recommend this place for a mid week date night!
Very good food! However, staff were not very attentive - we had to ask to see the menu, had to ask to get our orders taken, and the waited tried to take my drink before I was finished (and the restaurant was not busy enough to warrant the service received).
This was our third visit to Anada and it has great food and Exceptional service for such a small venue which obviously operates on tight costs. The wait staff all have thorough knowledge and it is a credit to the management for hiring such experienced people.
Lovely intimate restaurant ,perfect for date night. Good solid Spanish food ,fresh and cooked with care.Good wine list.The spanish manager looked after us
recommend
What did the word sherry mean to me just over a week ago? Sickly. Sweet. Syrupy. Probably not a cool drink. Old people like it. Old people drink it after dinner. What did the word Anada mean to me just over a week ago? Love it. Amazing Spanish food. Evokes memories of Spanish holidays gone by. Feed me, feed me.
正式成为我最喜欢的西班牙菜，所点的每一道菜都非常美味，而且价格和分量都很体贴，吃完各种舒服，后来发现这里和bomba是姐妹店，彻底被这两家征服了。喜欢西班牙菜的都去试试吧。
Favorite Spanish restaurant.
I absolutely loved this restaurant. It really had the feeling of Spain and it brought back many memories of when I went travelling around Europe last year. My partner and I got the tasting menu, which was $58 per person - a bit expensive but totally worth it. The food was cooked to perfection, this place is definitely worth a try!
Food is great. Very tasty. Love it just as much as movida. This is a great place for a small group to have a long lazy Sunday lunch. cosy place. Enjoy the tapas all afternoon. Awesome just thinking about it.
lovely staff and a lovely venue, yum spanish bits to eat and drink. Intimate space but doesnt feel cramped at all. i would highly recommend this place for a date night or even snacks and drinks with friends
Food, service and ambiance: all of a very high quality. Our waiter, an affable Spanish guy, served us professionally, with a smile and a laugh, and with some nice personal touches - like explaining the region in Spain where our wine was grown and made. The food was great from start to finish. We opted for the larger tasting menu. The restaurant was happy to accommodate our requests (no sardines please, but yes we definitely want to try the beef brisket). Highlights: the cauliflower cream, barramundi and beef brisket. But really, it was all fresh and flavoursome. Thanks Anada!
Cosy, friendly little Spanish restaurant with a good range of really delicious food full of boisterous Spanish flavours. Big, bold satisfying food.
Loved the atmosphere, food quality was really good, loved the fact that there was no loud music, so you could actually have a conversation. We enjoyed the tapas, however our waiter got one of our orders wrong and brought us fried eggplant instead of grilled quail! for main I had the Angus rump, the meat was tender and beautifully cooked although in terms of value for money the portion was a tad disappointing, the plate looked tiny, came with no sides except for some spring onions!
My husband and I had a lovely mid-week date night here. The tasting menu was very good value, every dish was superb and they catered very well for dietary requirements and preferences. Really friendly, accommodating and attentive staff. Was a bit noisy at times because of the acoustics but a lovely setting otherwise. Highly recommended.
First time here and blown away by the food, the service and the ambience. Very chilled reggae playing on a Sunday night, which perfectly accompanied the relaxed and intimate vibe of the restaurant. The eggplant dish on the tapas menu was absolutely delicious and the brisket fell apart as good brisket should. The wait staff were friendly, knowledgeable and very efficient. Highly recommend.
Visited a long time favourite tonight! As usual Anada delivered a beautiful meal, gorgeous ambience and a warm buzz. The scallops, mushroom croquettes, oysters, barramundi, sardine were so beautifully yummy. Sadly our order for the cauliflower was lost and we were given chickpeas instead (for a non meat eater I really don't like chickpeas!) but my dining partner assured me they were lovely - he also loved the quail and sticky pork belly. Wines were terrific and staff friendly. Thanks Anada for another terrific meal!
Cosy intimate restaurant. I love the warm welcoming feel to it. The staff are lovely and service is attentive. The food is so delicious. I've only been here once but it will definitely not be my last. I need to tell hubby to take me here dammit lol.
Decided to come here and made a booking at the very last minute. Got seated at the back table, nice ambiance! Friend got the oyster and he loved it so much! Mussels and scallops were okay. Octopus and potato crisp was great - love that vinegar powder thing.. Mains: Pork Belly- amazing, lamb shoulder special - very tender and tasty, beef cheek- soft! Overall, great dining experience, waitstaff was attentive and helpful, food is great!
Great place, vibe was good
Food was great! Starts you off with a nice olive oil and bread
Tapas menu had a great selection, oyster was amazing (according to my brother)
Pork belly was delicious
Had the lamb shoulder special, was good!
Beef brisket was good but could have more flavour and seasoning
Overall, very nice
Dinner at Añada was absolutely faultless! We had such a great experience from start to finish. The service was friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. The wine list is comprehensive and incredibly well priced. The food is the best part - the menu is interesting and unique and everything we ordered was exceptional. The staff were even able to make changes to the menu to accommodate our requirements. Perfect, can't wait to come back!
Ambience was right - Cosy and atmospheric.
Service was attentive.
Food was good but can't say it was amazing.
The lamb rack was excellent - perfectly cooked with a hint of pistachio.
The negro seafood paella was underwhelming: soggy rice with no complex flavour.
DO: The croquettes, bone marrow, paella (any), pork belly and braised beef brisket.
DON'T: Forget about dessert. The churros with chocolate dipping sauce was great but the absolute star was the polvito uruguayo aka salted caramel vanilla ice cream dulce de leche meringue.
TIP: Must book. There are two sittings, book the 2nd one for more time to chit chat and chill. Bomba yesterday, Anada today - what a 1, 2 combination by Jesse.
I love this place - it's so authentic and reall. The paella is delicious the service is fantastic. You must book before though or there is no way you'll get a table. It's pricey but it's worth it.
Had a dinner out with my so. Great service, great food, great value ($50 stagger station), intimate vibe. Will definitely come again. I suggest the bone marrow and ox tongue.
Personally, i think it's the best tapas in melbourne. The scallop, the octopus and the eggplant were superb! Will definitely come back for the paella.
