Simply Spanish - Lamb paella

My colleague and I stopped here for a late lunch as we were intrigued by their paella lunch…read morespecial. Unfortunately we were told the $20 meal deal was only good through 12:30pm. Since we had our minds set on the paella, we each ordered one anyway. I got the daily special with sausage, scallops and pumpkin while she opted for the lamb. Having sampled both, I can say with certainty that they know their paella! The lamb paella was tender and flavourful, a good sign that the meat had been simmering to soften and flavour it, along with the rice. The scallop paella was just delightful, having the right blend of spices, a bit of surf and turf to flavour the rice, along with well blended pumpkin. It was hearty and filling. Both dishes were served on small paella pans and were well presented. In addition, the sangrias we sipped were fruity and refreshing. The staff was friendly, checking in on us more than once, topping off our water and clearing our table. It's true we beat the lunch rush so enjoyed the extra attention. This is one place where coming later still ensures you get a delicious meal, as the paella is a great dish that soaks in more flavour the longer on the grill. Come here for a fantastic lunch or sample their happy hour menu from 3-6pm. With a great location and tasty dishes, it is simply delicious.

Having already savoured the delights of the paella at the South Melbourne Markets location, I was a…read moretad excited to have Simply Spanish open up in my local food forecourt at work. Since opening I have been for a set menu lunch with workmates and a couple of lunches by myself, not to mention a couple of happy hours on Thursday and Friday evenings. All food has been wonderfully satisfying and very affordable for tapas offerings. Their sangria is to die for and I can't go past the deep fried goats cheese croquette. Go there and you won't be disappointed!

This night was all about trying new places, and then we met Bomba. Its technically a rooftop, but can also be technically fully covered. The bar part is under cover, and the sitting area has a retractable roof; kudos to you guys being prepared with Melbourne weather! So when you want to be drinking under a nights sky, depending on the night, you won't really get that here. This can be a good and bad thing. It was a chilly night, so only two of the windows were slid open, and they didn't give off the greatest city view. What you will get however, are good drinks, with suggested cocktails that can be a little cheaper than normal city bars. I had the Garden-something and it was refreshingly light, slightly tart, with cucumber for sure and minty. I also tried the sangria, man it had a tick to it, chocolate bitters and they did not hold back with that brandy either. But hey, for somewhere less crowded, that we were sure to get in and not fight over a table for, with their delicious cocktails, I'd visit you again. And next time, I'd go earlier, maybe make it a starting point versus an ending point. Plus, gotta try those tapas all the other reviewers are boasting about!

Just off Little Bourke St on level 1 is a little Latin American bar called Vamos. Dimly lit with…read moresome cosy little fairy-light nooks, coming here early on a Thursday night for a knock-off drink provided a nice casual spot to catch up for a drink. Service is great, the staff were really lovely and helpful. Many of the staff here also teach Spanish at the local language school where I study, which certainly speaks to their passion for bringing their local flavour to Melbourne. The menu is Latin American inspired small plates, so we ordered a couple of bites from the bar snacks portion to share as a group - beef shin empanadas, guacamole and chips, and polenta chips. All were tasty, the guac and chips were spot on and I particularly like the polenta chips as they were quite thin and crunchy rather than the chunky-burn-your-mouth out trying to eat it type. I'd come back and give dinner a go. I wasn't drinking so can't comment much on the booze available, but I did see that they do have happy hour specials going and mulled wine for winter. Probably somewhere I'd come more for a beer or margarita than a wine. They have a lot of shows and events here, their web site features a lot of fun Latin-American inspired music acts from mariachi bands to flamenco and Brazilian performers if you're looking for something more upbeat. If a boozy rowdy night is your style, I'd plan ahead for when something is happening or go on a Saturday night. If you're after a more chilled out spot to catch up with some friends, early weeknights are a good time to go.
