Absolutely delicious food and great service! The staff were very friendly and the tapas well priced and very yummy, the paella was delicious!
What an amazing hidden gem!
Zanadu Tapas bar is run by some great people, and their passion is clearly reflected in their food. I recently came here for a Christmas party and sat outside in their courtyard (HIGHLY recommended on a hot day, it has cushions and shade!).
We were served various Tapas and Drinks, here are a few of my faves:
SALMON CROQUETTES - These were SO tasty, I haven't had salmon ones before and I don't usually love salmon, but this stood out to me! Maybe it was the cheese in it, but the flavour was on point.
SEAFOOD PAELLA - This is a MUST! I mean it would be rude to go to a Spanish place and NOT order Paella, right?! I absolutely loved the flavours in this, and the chef was absolutely gorgeous and so friendly. I saw her outside the restaurant taking photos with a happy family, who clearly loved her cooking too.
SPANISH ROSÉ - Usually I go for Sangria but was recommended to go the Rosé instead, very appropriate summer wine, went well with the food!
I'm giving this place 5 stars because the venue had both indoor and outdoor seating (very clean), the owners / workers were all genuinely lovely and seemed to really enjoy their work (it shows in their food) and there is a variety of menu options, so I feel like there is something for everyone!
Overall I just had a fabulous time here, so personally I feel like it deserves that 5 star rating! But please let me know if you any thoughts or queries, or your own experiences dining here :)
Rating 4.5 Stars 🌟
What a beautiful space this tapas bar is! I was lucky enough to attend a Christmas Party at Zanadu. We sat outside in their beautiful courtyard and were lucky to get a beautiful Melbourne summers day. They have a cosy space inside and more tables out the front if you want to ‘people watch’.
We enjoyed a beautiful selection of tapas and wines (they also have some superb bottles of spirits that are hard to find here in Melbourne).
But the highlight for me was the Paella! I must admit I was a paella virgin and the thoughts did cross my mind like ‘where have you been all my life’ 😜 Even though I’d never tried it before I just new it was amazing and of course my foodie friends confirmed this.
Thank you so much for such lovely service and a really wonderful experience Zanadu Tapas Bar 😊💗
