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.
We enjoyed a nice tapas lunch here yesterday. The staff were helpful and friendly, the service was quick and the food was really nice. They offer a good selection of wines but unfortunately we only had time for one glass. The place has tables inside and out with a back section that leads into the Vic Market food court. A great place for lunch!
