The restaurant decor is beautiful and the crowd is a real mix, I saw couples having a romantic dinner, families and big groups all enjoying their meal. Tucked away near the Spit Bridge it features water views in an intimate atmosphere. The service is friendly, geniune and professional and they helpful with recommendations. The menu is concise but everything is done well. We had the crab felafel, chicken and leek croquettes, lamb kofta, halumi and rocket salad, paella, beef cheeks and he dessert tasting platter and could not find any fault. The food is authentic, fresh and delicious and the staff help pace the meal well. The beef was especially good, it cut like butter and featured a wine glaze, the rose water rice pudding was also a highlight. Afous is really an experience, the food is made fresh to order so enjoy some wine or a cocktail and soak in the atmosphere. Enjoyed both dinners and will be back soon!

A Fous replaces a long standing, but ultimately failed fish restaurant. That predates my…read moreexperience, and only know A Fous here on the end of the Spit - just before the bridge. Let's start with the owner: he is the most wonderful, gracious and hospitable host I've ever met. His opening line is "welcome to my home" and it's all good from there. Each time I've been here (3 times in all), I have just asked him to choose the dishes and keep them coming until we say "enough". Given this is a Moroccan tapas kind of place (whatever that is?), it's more "ca suffit" or "hallas" with my best French or Arabic accents, respectively. Food is varied and delicious and small enough so you can try many things. BYO and bring your good stuff to go with the meal. No corkage fee, and they will keep whatever you want chilled until you're ready to go. For example, one time we dropped off our wine and beer before heading out on a boat. They happily held it in their fridge for us until dinner. Last good thing is that A Fous is really not that expensive, especially if you bring your own beverages. All you can eat (see above!) was about $170 for 2 couples. That's first rate for an elite eat here in Mosman.

Went for my dad's birthday dinner after googling "the best restaurant in sydney" and he told me…read morethis was 7th. I don't think this is the 7th best restaurant in sydney and I'm not sure what website my dad found but either way we ate here for a sunday night We ordered several tapas, potatoes, prawns, some rustic sourdough, mushrooms and paella. We opted not to get chorizo because we were advised that chorizo would be in the paella but if you see my photos they were not there... nor were there any prawns in it which surprised me. Anyway what's more disappointing was the service. I'm not sure if the waitress was new but she knew the menu but was just not in the game mentally. She forgot to get us tap water. Forgot one of the orders. Forgot to remind the kitchen we had 6 people (gave us 5 prawns when we asked for servings for 6) Forgot to get us sangria. Geez im not sure if it was just that day but seeing we paid about 35pp including drinks i thought it was reasonable but the lasting impression was the poor service. We had an entertainment voucher and paid about 28 dollars less

This place changed this for me. This place offers mains and Spanish tapas, I was keen to go mains and not share but the majority ruled and one person ordered.. Now another thing I'm not a fan of!!! But! Man they did a good job. We started off with the Spanish chorizo in this incredible sauce that amazing tangy flavours! Then came out the potato and cheese croqets. Then scallops and prawns and beautiful woodfired cheese and bread mmmmm after a few rounds of that out came a pulled pork paella yep. By the end I was so full but oh so satisfied! After washing it down with a few tasty Spanish beers. Heaven. It was getting late so thought to have dessert there as well. And what do you have at a Spanish restaurant? Churro! Come on! Ok. Don't get the churro they were rubbish. Like really bad. But that tells you how good the rest of meal was it still got 4 massive starts. I was even thinking 5.. The service we great! One guy was serving us the whole time, he was very helpful and made sure we understood everything that was coming to our table. The only thing he got wrong was he said the churro's were really yum! Not cheap about $50pp full on eating experience but I think that it's pretty worth it for fun night out with good people, might as well marry that up with tasty as foood!!

Service - We were served by a friendly, knowledgable lady and a guy with a nice smile. The guy was new but you could tell he took the job seriously and made sure he did everything as best he could. They were both (plus another guy) super nice and approachable, which made the dining experience enjoyable. Food - We came on a Tuesday so it was $10 for all tapas. The food came quickly and I would rate it 90% delish. Standouts for me were the calamari, potato and cheese croquettes and empanada! Desserts were spot on. I had the almond pudding (torta de Santiago) with vanilla ice cream. So yum. Overall, I will definitely return again.

The service was good and friendly, although we did have to flag someone down to get the check and to get water refills. Overall, the weight staff works really hard and does their best. The food was pretty good. Some things were way better than others. For example, the tuna on potato was cold tin tuna over a cold, soggy potato, but the chicken skewer, special, the potatoes, and the prawns were delicious. The ambience is very festive and bustling. Lots of good energy and it can get a bit loud. Overall, a good experience and I would go back.

This place started as a Sherry bar and has evolved to a Tapas wine bar. Quality/Quantity - Slider - Good size (for a tapa), cooked well. Roasted Chicken Thighs - Just enough for two people, good flavors. Green Beans - Again, just enough for two people. Cooked well, nice and crispy. 1906 Red Beer - Good start. Good beer. Spanish beer. Well, we are having tapas. Wine is also available, I like the wine chart, see picture. Actually, they had a fairly good selection of wines; I should have gone in that direction. See menu and decor. Atmosphere - Got here late with no reservations. 2 floor restaurant, bathrooms upstairs. Ground floor is for walk-ins, upstairs is for reservations. Got seating in the corner next to the steps. After realizing that was a really bad location due to the traffic, I had the waiter move us. Indoor/outdoor seating available, too cold tonight to sit outside. Bar seating is also available. Open 6 days a week from noon to 11:30pm; Saturdays from 5 to 11:30pm and closed Sunday. Service - Hit and miss, overall good. Server was NOT very helpful but the good news is that the manager started helping him and service improved. Price - $70AUD, $47US expensive for what we felt we got. Overall, the quality of food was good but the service could have been better. The manager was better than the server. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2012 and your 4 businesses. Congrats on all your awards.

If you have never sat there I'd recommend asking for a seat there. Started with the scallop appetizer. Delicious Thai papaya salad served in a scallop shell topped with a lovely scallop. Would get again. For my entree I selected the T-Bone. Ordered medium rare and it was served more on the rare side. This was fine for me as I had half of it leftover so when I reheated it it was closer to medium without being over cooked. I love the spinach served with their steaks. The servers all work very hard. It's a pretty big space that they need to cover. My water glass was refilled twice without me having to ask.
