The pastas bravado is the best I've had. And the pork belly is Devine. The drinks menu is comprehensive but I particularly enjoyed the the cava.
Service is next to none
Great food and service. Loved the prawns, patatas bravas and the seafood and chorizo paella. Looking forward to going back and trying some more dishes.
Food was really nice, lots of diverse tapas options.
Cheap cocktails and friendly atmosphere. Service can be slow if there is a group booking out the back.
Went there with a friend last week. Paella was nice enough, waiters were really courteous. I highly recommend the chorizo con sidra. The bar has a nice selection,. Sangrias and long island iced teas were well mixed.
Definitely recommend this place for a group. The $40 per person set menu fills you up very nicely and gives you a taste of a great variety of their dishes. No complaints about the food at all - everything was delicious. Came out pretty quickly and before we knew the table was packed with dishes.
The restaurant layout is a bit odd with two separate rooms but it still has a nice vibe.
Sangria's are very nice but at $40 a jug for 5 small glasses with a lot of ice - I think it's a little overpriced.
I have been here a number of times and the food and atmosphere has been amazing. But in particular the customer service has been exceptionally friendly and professional. My waitress on both occassions was Saskia and her friendliness and politeness was to very professional standards and made me want to visit this restaurant again. I hope this restaurant stays a fixture on the Northbridge food scene for many years to come.
A little Northbridge gem. I had never heard about Hestia's Cafe Restaurant until walking past it on Lake Street. We had vowed to try it due to their extensive tapas menu and chocolate crepe cake for dessert! When we arrived, we realised we didn't even have to make a booking as there were plenty of empty tables. We ordered the patatas bravas, Seafood Toast and the Seafood Paella. We were warned that the paella would take 45 minutes to cook, which was fine for us. The seafood toast and patatas bravas came out first. The seafood toast was slighty salty, but the combination of seafood was delectable with the buttery toast. The patatas bravas was sort of crispy, and had a nice combination of 2 sauces, one being marinara sauce. The seafood paella took exactly 45 minutes to come out (6:44-7:29pm!) I scooped up some prawns, mussels and squid with my rice. The prawns were tasty and flavorsome, the squid was well cooked and not too chewy, the mussels were slighty small, and the paella rice was tasty, fresh and full of amazing spices. For dessert, I opted to order the chocolate crepe cake but they were sold out, so I ordered the cheesecake instead. The deconstructed cheesecake was light and fruitful, giving it a twist on modernized cheesecake. I ate the fresh fruit off first, and then mixed the crumbly biscuit base to the soft grapefruit cheese. The first thing I noticed was the richness of the cheesecake, it was delightful and the biscuit crumbs were crumbly, buttery and light.
Had breakfast at this cafe restaurant today. We ordered the Hestia's big breakfast with scrambled eggs, Spanish eggs, and the slow cooked beef ribs. The Spanish eggs was delicious, very tomatoey and matched well with the bread. The scrambled eggs on my big breakfast was cooked to perfection, and the mushrooms were juicy and delicious too. The coffee here is average. Only thing is, the price of the big breakfast seemed a bit expensive for what was on it.
Tapas here is amazing! All the dishes we ordered were delicious and tasty and are share style. We have yet to try the paella. Next visit it is!
first time dinner at this little gem! Got in early but by the time we left the place was full. Food was delish, the croquettes were a winner! Will def be back again 😃
This place was recommended to me by a friend. So a table for 2 before a show it was. Berry Sangria was amazing. Friendly service. Share plates of Chorizo, pork belly, ribs, and trio of chips were all delicious. Have been back a second time which was just as good.
My partner and I came in for dinner and to kill some time. He has the Spaghetti Bog and I had the Spaghetti and Chicken. Both were awesome! The garlic bread, yummy! But. We all know a good meal ends in dessert. I can not recommend the cheese cake high enough! It. Was. DIVINE!
We will definitely stop here again on our way through Perth.
Had dinner Tapas there on Valentines day and we had the most amazing meals inc the seafood mixed Paella which was to die for...we had a table for 7 and service was very good and all the tapas were delicate and tasty.
Cannot fault the food...if I were to criticise it would only be the music was a tad loud but not overly...didn't bother me so much but others thought it was a tad loud.
But thats a very minor criticism because the overall experience was brilliant.
We would definitely come back again to try different foods.
Thanks.
Attentive (but non-intrusive) and friendly staff, simple and welcoming decor, and excellent food.
Their chicken and chorizo paella is stunning, and the signature Mushroom Forest is as delicious as it is beautiful.
Prices are reasonable for a tapas bar / restaurant. You can bet that we'll be back.
Great dining experience - fantastic traditional Spanish Tapas, especially the mushroom forest, jamon serrano croquettes, tapas share plate, in fact all of the food we ate (over 3 hours) was superb. Service was friendly, fast and non interruptive and prices very reasonable. The wine list needs expanding but otherwise I highly recommend this restaurant to people wanting a pleasant, taste sensation, easy pace, eat-at-your-leisure dining experience with your friends or family. Our friends own a restaurant in Brisbane and together we described this as an epicurean delight. We will definitely be back for more tapas!.
Went here for dinner last night and had a great meal, can't decide what was my favorite dish the scallops or the garlic and chilli prawns. The chorizo was also amazing, as was the pork belly (crunchy delicious crackling) and the beef brisket melted in your mouth. The table next to us said the mushrooms were out of this world.
Will definitely be back to try more of the menu!
Went there on a Tuesday night with my husband and were greeted by this lovely spanish chick that suggested us to try a few different tapas. We didn't know it was a spanish restaurant at the first place and we were just amazed by the flavours. Had the croquetas, mushroom forest, fillet and spanish eggs. Food presentation was also really good. We left super happy and will def come back to try the paella
If you want paella be aware that you have a 45 minute wait!
Because if this, we ordered tapas and every dish was delicious. Couldn't fault any of it.
I'll be back with a paella pre-order! 😄
