Bouzy Rouge was the perfect venue for my birthday party. The dedicated staff catered to all of my needs throughout the night. The amazing food ensured that all guests left happy and satisfied. I love the function room's quirky decor and I am amazed at how smoothly the preparation and execution for the event were handled by management and staff. I would highly recommend this venue for a truly unique experience.
Had my partner's birthday lunch on Sunday. The service was fantastic and the waiting staff were friendly. We were a group of 12. Leg of Lamb was definitely a winner. All the Tapas(calamari, patatas, feta cigars, brussel sprouts, chorizo, saganaki) options we ordered were on point. The sangria and paella rounded off a perfect meal. We didn't try out the deserts, as we brought our own cake. Thank you for a memorable afternoon Bouzy Rouge!

Walk into Bouzy Rouge and youβll definitely be amazed by the wacky and quirky decorations inside, reminiscence of something out of Cirque De Soleil. This provides a good indication of the service that you will be receiving here β fun, flamboyant and whimsical.
Starting off with tapas, we were very impressed with the tinned Spanish anchovies, the pan-fried Saganaki and also the Jamon croquettes. Being one who adores bold and intense flavours, these three dishes hit the spot. The suckling pig must also be commended for its texture β the perfect combination of crispy crackling and tender meat.
When the lamb shoulder arrived on our table with only a spoon, we knew we were in for a treat. True enough, it was so tender and soft, that we only require a spoon to cut through it. Meaty and flavourful, it was skilfully cooked. The Paella Negra somewhat paled in comparison to the lamb, but it was a tasty dish nonetheless.
Amazing cocktails rounded up our meal, and the amount of food we ordered had us rolling out the door.
An eclectic layout leading to a quiet outdoor terrace at the rear. An oasis on a very warm Melbourne lunch. Is Spanish oriented so a large selection of Tapas and some substantial larger dishes reigned for sharing. The usual Tapas suspects of Bravas, Jamon croquettas, Tinned anchovies etc. we close the specials of codfish croquettas and Padrone peppers. The latter were excellent and a hat tip to a dish that is rare outside of Spain. Main dish of slow cooked lamb shoulder was superb. Pork tender, but still with some structure and a delightful caramelised surface, served with excellent roast potatoes. Service was friendly and efficient. Iβd return in a heart beat.
With so many restos offering much the same fare, Bouzy Rouge is refreshingly different. Food quality excellent and staff super efficient
From the ambience, to the food, to the service! This place has you covered!

We came to Bouzy Rouge on a busy Friday night to celebrate a friends birthday! The decor was gorgeous, ambiance was inviting and the staff were hilarious and made the experience great!
What we ordered:
Stracciatella Cheese
Sagonaki
Jamon Croquette
Patatas Bravas
Roasted Fennel & Pear Salad
Paella Mixta
Tapas:
The Stracciatella Cheese on sourdough bread was so delicious! The creaminess of the cheese and flavoring was a delight. The Sagonaki cheese was coated in a sweet honey giving the dish a rich flavour. The Jamon croquette was SO good we were sad that the croquette itself was on the small side. This dish was cooked to perfection. The Patatas Bravas had a delicious sauce accompanying it which gave them the flavouring they needed.
Larger plates:
The Fennel and Pear Salad was the refreshing dish we needed amongst all these delights. It just soothed the stomach before we launched into the paella. The ricotta & walnuts in this dish added a sweet crunch. As for the Paella, it was amazing! We honestly felt like we were back in Barcelona. The tenderness of the chicken and the crispy rice had us loving every bite.
Weβll be backπ

It was overall a rather memorable meal. With such an amazing range of cocktails, wines and spirits paired with superb, authentic Spanish cuisine, Bouzy Rouge offers a taste of old school glamour and is the perfect place to dig into a long weekend lunch.

Lovely place that serves a good range of tasty food. Bar at the front and dining at the back. Particularly liked the lamb. Menu is comprehensive with a good choice of food do choose from. Dietaries catered for. Service was pretty good with lovely staff. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Prams and stroller accessible. Good parking.
4.5. Just a quick visit for a pre appointment drink. Sometimes itβs the steadiness you need. I was mighty impressed that they had a Lagavullin behind the bar. I was ever more impressed when the friendly bartender commended me on my selection, went into raptures on the wonders of the Isle of Islayβs most famous smoky peaty product and then told me a couple of good stories including about the use of seaweed! This is service of a seriously high order. The interior is quirky and fun here but Iβm not going to attempt a description as @Nicole Tangβs review has a beautiful description that I couldnβt go close to and that gives you all you need. I liked it here and Iβll be back for certain.

We had a lovely dinner here! It took us back to our trip to Spain with their delicious croquettes, paella and churros. The stand out dish for us was the saganaki - the cheese paired with the chutney was the perfect match. Thanks for having us - we will be back!
Utmost best service one could ever imagine. Food was yummy and just enough for the hungry lot after a great day at F1 Grand Prix 2022. If I had more stars than 5, would love to give all stars π ππππππππππππππ
Repeat, we received the best service. Don't know his name, but service par excellence. Made us feel welcomed and respected. Thank you. πππ±π°
By far our favourite place in Melbourne to dine out!
Food is magnificent and so authentic.
Incredible cocktails and wine list.
We even had our wedding here.
Donβt miss out on visiting this Melbourne Institution!!

QUIRKY SPANISH RESTAURANT BAR ON BUSY BRIDGE ROAD
Bouzy Rouge is a plush, expansive restaurant with an exaggerated 1960's Spanish decor (think leopard skin patterned chairs, a wall mounted, mirror-surfaced El Toro peering down at you and various Spanish swords and implements adding to the theme.
The staff are relaxed and welcoming and the place is very LGBTIQ-friendly.
The main dining room is a long narrow room with a mix of small table and longer bench seat + table combinations. The noise level is surprisingly low despite the crowds that flock here - probably due to the plush soft fabrics on the chairs and the ceiling mounted sound dampeners that run the whole length of the room. There is an al fresco area at the rear which is even more "Spanish".
The menu is quite expansive with a nice balance between the tapas style entrees and the signature main courses.
Four of us selected four entrees and the lamb shoulder as our main. That was plenty as the main is quite a large serve.
Good selection of cocktails and wine (the espresso martini is particularly good!)
We went on a Saturday evening where there are two sittings (early sitting finishes at 8 pm).
There is a bar at the front of the dining room as well.
People with mobility issues will be fine as it is all on one, even floor with no steps to negotiate.
Lovely food, clean restaurant, reasonable price, magnificent service. Top class extremely polite professional respectful service..πππππππππππ
Great food, excellent staff and an interesting venue. Leg of lamb special was a highlight, and the dessert churros were delicious. Will definitely come back next time weβre in Melbourne.
