This is the sort of place you don't just 'drop into'. You have to be wearing the right thing. It's so cool you definitely feel a bit bad if you've popped in at the end of a solid day's walking the city in your trainers and comfy stretch pants. But the food is great and the cool value isn't just...

My partner and I flew down from Sydney for her birthday. On making the booking I told the manager that I was allergic to seafood and to let me know if that would be a problem..

Reservations are a MUST - a Monday night was full. Food is amazing quality, but this is more expensive than Tripadvisor would lead you to believe. Would dine again if we had time.....yum! The Sangria is the best I have ever tried

Mmmmm, I love this place! 5.30pm walk-in dinner at the bar after an Arts Victoria event at the Spiegeltent on Saturday. Chose mostly from the Tapa menu and loved everything we ate and drank (as usual), including the mushrooms (oven roasted with sherry vinegar). Wet lamb was spectacular!

We decided on this place for my birthday dinner and our first night in Melbourne. We initially found the service a bit slow, and the wait staff gave us the feeling they were too cool to serve us, however, we felt this was apt for the type of place it was. Anyway, we didn't really care about aloof wait staff...

We had heard great things about Movidas food, and this side of things did not disappoint, fresh, relatively simple, interesting choices available, beautifully cooked on an array of different tableware. A few negatives though -service was pretty lacklustre, an initial spiel on the specials which sounded promising, a glass of water, but no top ups or further contact with the...
