The Spaniard - Willagee Australia

I keep hearing mixed reviews about The Spaniard so I had to go a few times to see for myself. First time: quiet girls night, upstairs, a bit bright, really friendly helpful bar staff. Second time: wine for two downstairs. Third and recent: booked a gathering for a birthday and it was spot on. Delicious tapas, great selection of drinks, friendly staff and only just a bit too rushed in clearing our table between rounds.

Delicious cocktails and very tasty crocketts. Nice decent place for after work drinks and a quick bite, depends what you up to. As the name suggest, its tapas style and they almost always have white and red sangria kegs ready to tango . Cool place to hang out, friendly staff and happy hour ofcourse

Our daughter and her boyfriend introduced us to The Spaniard. We'd booked a table for 4 for 7pm. Our table was ready and the bar was already quite busy with a nice atmosphere. We did notice that part of our long table was also reserved for 2 people so if you're dining as a couple you may end up on a table with strangers. We didn't mind the high tables, but would not have like to have sat near the window where the ledge to rest food seemed a lot higher than the seating. Being tapas, the portions aren't large and whilst tasty some are a little expensive e.g. $25 for 4 quaters of tomato bread with chorizo. The pork belly and calamari were stand out dishes and we enjoyed each dish. Service was excellent (very warm and friendly). 4 plates, 4 beers and 4 glasses of Sangria came to $160.

I've been here twice and eaten once. The beer selection is interesting and reasonably priced, and $5 schooners at happy hour are great too. I've had the Croquettes and the Garlic Prawns to eat. While the croquettes were tasty and enjoyable, I must say that the Garlic Prawns were the best I've had in years. I'd even go as far as to say they were up there with the Witches Cauldron, which is iconic in Perth for Garlic Prawns. Really enjoyable night I'll be back.

A decent spot for tapas to start off a CBD pub crawl! It seems like the menu changes at least semi-regularly, which keeps things exciting between visits. Most recently, we had the hot chorizo on Catalan tomato bread, the jamón Iberico parcels stuffed with sautéed mushrooms, and the chilli gambas. All of them were delicious and washed down nicely with a glass of sangria blanco! Service was friendly, atmosphere was good, the only minor negative thing is that it can get very noisy! This is a consistent favourite for us, and I would heartily recommend it.
