Spanish restaurants

A Spanish restaurant meal is built around sharing: a few plates, a glass of something Spanish, and nobody watching the clock. The RedBalloon range covers tapas with bottomless sangria, a charcuterie board with sherry, seafood plates with sparkling and a midweek paella for two, in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Book a table, or give the voucher and let them choose the night.

Spanish Restaurant and Tapas Experiences

A Spanish restaurant booking here can mean a chef's selection of tapas with bottomless sangria on Melbourne's Degraves Street, or a Tabla Ibérica board of Jamón Ibérico, truffle salami and Manchego in Sydney, finished with Spanish cheesecake and sherry. In Adelaide, the tapas come with Spanish wines or a bottle of sparkling. Most run between one and two hours.

Sydney

The Spanish dining experience with wines is a meal for two that starts with mixed olives, a Pinxto of your choice and a glass of chilled sangria. Next comes the Tabla Ibérica spread, with Jamón Ibérico, truffle salami, Manchego and a sweet onion and grape relish, then a curated tapas selection with a glass of white wine. A Spanish-style cheesecake arrives last, served with sherry.

Melbourne and Victoria

On Degraves Street, the chef's tapas selection with bottomless sangria puts three tapas dishes, house-made sangria and a Basque cheesecake on the table at Degraves Espresso. Moonee Ponds has a midweek Spanish dinner for two: choose two tapas dishes and a paella to share, with a bottle of wine, all made in-house. Mordialloc adds an Asian fusion tapas dinner for two, with ten yum cha-inspired courses and a cocktail each. Expect dumplings and croquettes there, not paella.

Adelaide and Hahndorf

Lunch at Sisea, inside the Adelaide Central Market, is the tapas and bubbles experience: three regionally inspired plates and a bottle of South Australian sparkling to share. Out in Hahndorf, the Spanish tapas and wine meal brings three seasonal tapas to each person and pairs each dish with a Spanish wine, cooked fresh by the chef. The market lunch fits a day in the city, and Hahndorf, in the Adelaide Hills, makes a good stop on a drive out.

Wine, sangria and sherry

Drinks come with every booking here. Sydney pairs sangria and a glass of white wine with a finishing sherry. Degraves Street keeps the sangria bottomless, Hahndorf pairs a Spanish wine with each of three tapas, and the Central Market lunch comes with a bottle of South Australian sparkling. Moonee Ponds includes a bottle of wine, and Mordialloc starts with a cocktail each.

Spanish Dining Gift Ideas

Several of these meals are booked for two, with the wine, sangria or sparkling already included, so they work as a night out for a partner, a friend or a parent without any planning on their side. Pick the city they live in and the table is sorted.

If you can't tell if they'd pick tapas in a laneway or a long midweek dinner, a gift voucher lets them decide. It can be emailed straight away or scheduled for the day, carries a personal message and is valid for five years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Spanish restaurant experience?

It is a pre-arranged meal at one venue, built around tapas, which are small plates made to share. Depending on the booking, that can be three tapas dishes with bottomless sangria, a charcuterie board with sherry and cheesecake, or tapas paired with Spanish wines. Each one includes drinks.

Where can you book a Spanish restaurant experience?

There is a Sydney dining experience with wines, Melbourne options on Degraves Street and in Moonee Ponds, and two in the Adelaide area. In Melbourne, try the Degraves Street tapas and sangria session. In Adelaide, the Central Market tapas lunch and the Hahndorf tapas and wine meal both pair small plates with South Australian or Spanish drinks.

What is included in a Spanish tapas and wine experience?

It depends on the booking, but each one includes drinks as well as food. The Hahndorf meal has three tapas per person with three Spanish wines. The Degraves Street session has three tapas, bottomless house-made sangria and a Basque cheesecake. The Adelaide Central Market lunch has three tapas plates and a bottle of South Australian sparkling to share.

What is the minimum age for a Spanish restaurant experience?

Guests must be 18 or over to drink at the Hahndorf meal and the Degraves Street session, and photo ID may be requested. Most other experiences here include wine, sparkling or cocktails, so check the age rule on each product page before you book.

What is the difference between tapas and paella?

Tapas are small dishes, often cold or fried, served in quick succession and shared across the table. Paella is a single rice dish cooked in a wide pan, traditionally with saffron. The midweek dinner in Moonee Ponds includes both: two tapas dishes to start and a paella to share, with a bottle of wine.

Is a Spanish restaurant experience a good date night?

Several are booked for two with drinks included, including the Sydney, Moonee Ponds and Mordialloc dinners and the Adelaide Central Market lunch. For other ideas for two, browse dining experiences for two or date night ideas.
