I think this is the only place for tappas in Australia's capital, Canberra. Located in Manuka Legends is is the best place to enjoy both Spanish tappas based, Australian sourced ingredients, cuisine and Spanish sourced beers.

The 10 tapas banquet was delicious and filling and very good value. I have a sinking feeling they might have cut it back to 7 tapas for the same price though :-(

oily and slimy - if that's what you like. have never been back - octopus sat in a bowl of oil and was tasteless - they've probably changed hands since I been but might be worth a try now...

I love the variety of tapas, I always try a new dish everytime I dine here, and I have never been dissappointed, I must say I do have my fav dishes that I will order time and time again. Their degustation of seven dishes is extremly filling. Its my favourite restaurant in Canberra!

As a work group we dined at Legends recently and found the staff friendly and obliging. The tapas delicious if somewhat expensive and megre. The gentlemen in particular, found the servings inadequate, but tasty. Perhaps as a couple, you would find better value.

The staff are rude and not at all attentive. The food is average and pricey. I was very disappointed as I love tapas and thought the place looked cool...would not go back.

This is in my top two favourite restaurants in Canberra. Great for groups or party's. Reasonably priced and great food. I love their potato dish - could eat a whole bowl of that.

Legends Spanish restaurant was a real surprise. I love traditional tapas so I'm always suspicious when people mess with a well-loved formula - but Legends get it right. Great food and great value!
