MoVida Aqui

"This is a Spanish tapas style restaurant with the dishes mostly being small portions and encourages you to drink more while nibbling on the food. We ordered a number of small dishes as we were not that hungry when we got there. Dishes we would recommend are the tabla (selection of cured meat) and the prawn toast. The buffalo Burrata and the creamed corn although okay but definitely not worth the price. The service was friendly but we felt a little rushed to go as soon as we finished eating. The place was dimly lit so it felt a little romantic and personal, perfect for date nights. Food - 8 Service - 8 Vibe - 8 Price - $$$"

"Really good Spanish food! The burrata was amazing. Beef cheek (Carrillera de Buey) was amazingly soft and delicious (pardon for the picture that looked like a dark brown blob). The pulpo (octopus) was grilled and seasoned to perfection. Soft and tender. The arroz al horno (paella) was great too but the real stars were the previous three I mentioned."

"Delicious food and great staff - everything you want when dining out! The Movida group of restaurants never fails on so many fronts and Aqui is no different. The service was awesome and extremely helpful - the staff here clearly excel at what they do. In particular, we were going to order an extra dish and our waiter explained that we had more than enough food - something other restaurants would happily have added to our bill (BTW he was right - we had seriously over ordered!). We ordered the Jamon Iberico with Pan Catalan, Burrata, Tartar, Croqueta, Tostada, Cordero, Coles, Carrillera De Buey (detailed description is with the pics). The food itself is without a doubt, outstanding. So delicious that with very bite you take, you appreciate the effort gone into it, from the produce all the way to the creation. Once we had finished we were not hurried off, just left to enjoy each others company and let our meals settle. Again, a welcome way to finish a meal. Would thoroughly recommend Movida as they are professional and unpretentious but most of all for the delicious, unforgettable food!"

"Another fantastic culinary experience in Melbourne. Movida Aqui is a modern stylish establishment. We booked a tall table with bar stools. The view is not great over a building site, but don't let that put you off. The service was incredible, our host was fully invested in the business married to the chef and daughter a waitress. So knowledgeable, warm and friendly. Guiding us through a delicious meal. Not cheap but great value. The squid ink finale was unbelievable as was the croquettes and sesame toast. I tried some things for the first time too. Excellent! A lovely evening."

"Very Attentive Staff. Well done. Never been before,so thought we would try it out as Spanish Tapas is my partner's favourite. Ordered almost everything off the Tapas menu. Didn't think it would fill us up but was pleasantly surprised. A little of the salty side on some of the dishes but overall,an enjoyable experience. What's pictured and 2 alcoholic beverage plus the non compulsory gratuity,the bill was $230.17"
