Even better is Movida Next Door -- same food quality, 1/2 the price but with minimal decor (other than peeling paint). Movida is superb world-class michelin star quality food, fwiw (able to make carrots a special dish, for example). For some strange reason Melbourne has a lot of very good Spanish food despite not appearing to have much of a Spanish population. Maybe Australia is a romantic destination for good chefs in Spain.
