tapavino

what a fantastic restaurant! delicious food andgreatatmosphere. this would have to be the best spanish restaurant i've been to (and i've been to spain!!)

dinner. had agreatnight here after vivid, having made a booking, food was excellent. my huge gripe, however, came when ordering coffee after dinner. " we only do coffee for lunch " wtf. spoiled a near perfect evening.

love the food.greatselection of wine. would be a good choice for any occasion. gets very busy at night,please leave the bottle on the table.

love this place, their aged iberico cebo with their red wines is such agreatcombo. i love the braised pork jock, duck liver pate and manchego cheese. you can also sit outside and watch the work go by.

amazing food.greatselection of vino. and nice ambience. what more can one ask for. staffs were really friendly as well, making the whole experience one to remember.

amazing food and an even more amazing collection of wines. waitresses are very accomodating,greatatmosphere for group get togethers. would be too noisy for an intimate date night. overall, very good experience.

excellent place for a drink and snack when wearing the pin-striped uniform and want to remember younger days in barcelona ! just had some glasses of an excellent tempranillo with a few tapas plates. manager wasgreatbut wait staff a bit haphazard and the food (while delicious) was a bit rustic. howevergreatatmosphere in the otherwise soul-less city in the evening and a genuine spanish feel to it. not cheap but worth it - however go the bottle not the glass ! the red is delicious and after our group drank 9  reds by the glass we worked out we should spend more time planning our evening ! really nice place to go "of a tuesday" !

tapavino is the best spanish restaurant i have visited in sydney. we came this restaunt on a busy saturday night, even though it was busy the service was top notch. the waitstaff were very attentive; filling our water glass, checking if drinks were needed and explaining the menu. the somellier was very good, explaining their wine list and recommending wine according to our preferences. the service was professional without being pretentious. the staff were relaxed, friendly and personable.
we were impressed by the fact that we didn't have to wait long for our meals, even though it was busy. a well run restaurant. we chose a few options from the menu to share, which were all very delicious. using quality ingredients with good flavour combinations.
to start we ordered the warm cow cheese, walnuts in vine leaves a la plancha. warm melted cheese, need i say more and add walnuts for texture. we also had the yellow fin tuna cruda crushed spiced almonds and sherry dressing. a nice fresh starter to share.
next was the jamòn pickled beetroot and goats curd. a classic flavour combination. our last savoury option was the melt in your mouth beef cheeks braised in vermut served with chickpea puree and gremolata. the braising liquid giving the beef cheeks a nice sweet flavour. definitely recommended.
having read the dessert menu i was taken by the dulce de leche tart with pedro ximinez cream. they had me a at dulce de leche, thick caramel and short crust pastry tart and omg pedro ximinez cream. so decadent in a good way.
an all roundgreatdining experience and will be back to sample more of the menu. their other restaurant balcòn is definitely on our hit list.

we've ordered the cold chicken and truffle terrine, the chorizo, the cauliflower and the madrid stew, all dishes were perfect and delicious! flavours are balanced. the service was reallygreattoo. i really liked this place! portions were generous and i think we did ordered a bit too much for 2 but we were happy to be able to taste many dishes.

excellent service; each round was served on time and the staff had agreatsense of humour. the food was above average but i would recommend it just on the ambience and the quality of the service alone.

i never knew anything about this place before i went on friday and i was not excited about going to another tapas place but i was actually very pleasantly surprised after my friends had ordered on the groups behalf and food i had not seen at any other tapas place started coming out!

i really liked the beef briskety thing, artichoke and truffle dip,  roast cauliflower which had a nice spicy sauce i mixed in with bread from another dish to mop up.

definitely will come back. the place was bustling on friday night too reallygreatatmosphere!

i heard this is one of the best spanish tapas restaurants in town so we gave it a try during my stay in sydney. you could straight away smell the strong olive scent as soon as you walk in. the staff here are really friendly and helpful. not having tried many spanish tapas places before, we just opted for the main meats. the pork belly, eggplant dip, and salmon tartare are simply delicious. the jamon is a stand out - the proscuitto tastes so bomb and goes well with the pickled onions and cheese! however, i didn't really enjoy the chicken as the sauce just tasted like a tomato paste and the lamb shoulder didn't have enough punch to it. overall, agreatspanish tapas experience.

i don't understand how this place has suchgreatratings. the food was tasteless, tiny and overpriced. the meats were dry and paired with terrible vinegary sides. i have a big appetite but could not stomach any more of the crap. we had: scallops, pork belly and lamb shoulder paired with white sangria & appletiser de casa. the sangria was the only thing that was o.k.

the service was terrible. they were quite pushy and unpleasant. the waiter gave me the eftpos machine suggesting to tip them, they don't deserve it. we left feeling like we've been cheated. don't bother trying this place. worst restaurant i've ever been to. ruined my night!

loved the truffled tart... so much so that the second time i visited with my friend, we ordered one each! items are expensive as is the wine list but it is agreatlittle space (expect to be seated in tiny spaces). give the sweetbreads a miss.

t a p a v i n o

have to say, this has to be one of the best tapas bar in sydney! every dish that we ordered went down well with the crew that i was with. they also have agreatrange of wines to accompany the feasting.
