"I have never had such fresh seafood!! The tastes of each dish was so unique and amazing. We did the banquet meal which they easily catered for dietary requirements. Certainly will be on my list of places to go to. Only downer was the venue is quite small and noisy."

"Our waitress was so attentive - offered suggestions about wine and the food. My boyfriend enjoyed the local Spanish beers! The food was amazing - lots of variety and priced so that you could enjoy or try many of the dishes! We shared probably 8-10 dishes and had three wines/beers each and it came to just under $150 so great value! It was a really nice relaxed yet contemporary environment. We'.." more reviews

I have never had such fresh seafood!! The tastes of each dish was so unique and amazing. We did the banquet meal which they easily catered for dietary requirements.

Certainly will be on my list of places to go to. Only downer was the venue is quite small and noisy.   (Peta - See my reviews (36) - November, 2008)

Our waitress was so attentive - offered suggestions about wine and the food. My boyfriend enjoyed the local Spanish beers! The food was amazing - lots of variety and priced so that you could enjoy or try many of the dishes! We shared probably 8-10 dishes and had three wines/beers each and it came to just under $150 so great value! It was a really nice relaxed yet contemporary environment. We'll definitely go back for more and take friends with us!   (October, 2008)

Overall 9.8 - Food 10, Ambience 9, Value 10, Service 10

Expensive! I think not! If you think of purchasing entre main and a dessert anywhere, you would be up for 15+25+10

these guys do a banquet at $48 for ten courses.. its a bargin! There is no other food in the area available for the same quality and price! Its a pleasure to be able to get high quality wine and food in fitzroy.   (matt - May, 2008)

Overall 7.8 - Food 9, Ambience 7, Value 7, Service 8

Food was excellent, though it was a little pricey. Overall, tapas was amazing. A bit noisy for my liking but a nice cosy place to chill out. Would defintely recommend.   (See my reviews (2) - April, 2008)
"...In fact, ‘satisfying’ is an apt full stop to this story. Añada — an inner Melbourne attempt to provide the same kind of low-key, community bar with good, unpretentious food you’d find all over Spain — leaves a warm residual feeling, every time. It is emblematic of a new style of eating and drinking in Melbourne..."
