Going back to Capitan Torres completed our Sydney stay.
I have had many meals there and always had the garlic prawns followed by a steak. Why change our habits even though it was years ago? Thoroughly enjoyed it and it was very nostalgic as we were regulars here for many years.
Hola captain' I needed my sangria fix so I docked in, ordered the litre of fruity goodness and it set me straight, we had the chorizo sausage as the 'tre which turns into a meal itself once they roll up on you with the hot breads, the paella was the main event and I enjoyed it, dish was cooked so well and gently meshed with seafood & chicken it had me rattling off Spanish lingo mid-feast, they didn't name the Torres Strait Islands after this restaurant for nothing
The seafood paella is really worth this mark. The rice is slow-cooked with variety of seafood. I used to consider that the most attractive part of seafood paella should be the seafood, however at here the rice just plays a support role. My friend and I could hardly finish it. By the way, the wine tastes nice as well.
Typical food. I went there with group of 10 people .. They were busy but manage to get the table after waiting 15 mins...
I was very happy with the sizzling garlic prawns , choriso mixes... Garlic mushroom and some other main courses..
I was glad when one of the chef with the black uniform came personally and he was asking about the foods and services though he was busy...
Keep smiling chef .. I ill be back for your food and for personal touch
Tapas are best. Sizzling Prawns are breathtaking awesome... Been there for couple of times and always best food as I expected.
Nostalgia. I agree with CF below. Capitan Torres was my favourite restaurant, I have been going there for 20 years and was always treated to the best of service and the best of food. It was sold about 5 years ago now, something that broke my heart and caused me no end of heartburn. The service is still there, courtesy of the lovely waiters, but the food is not the same and the prices are outrageous. I still go back occasionally, when I get a bit nostalgic and have had a win on the gee gees. But sadly it is no longer what it used to be. I miss you Manolo and Jose
Had our dinner last night,althought there were lots of people in the restaurant,but the waiter still remember our orders and always with smile!As the tapas is really nice!the service was wonderful!so definitely like it
Must have the garlic mushroom tapas. Fabulous
Enjoyed a selection of tapas on offer, myself and a large group of friends managed to fit quite easily.
Excellent variety. Fantastic selection of Tapas, and the price is fairly reasonable. Sangria was great too. The only problem is that the place is a bit too small and they're trying to put as many tables and chairs as they can.
