What an excellent little tapas Melbourne restaurant. As per normal for Melbourne it was pouring with rain, we were ushered in, umbrellas swiftly put away and we seated within 2 minutes! Crouqeta melted in your mouth, Bomba was a close second and Banderilla was nicely balanced with palm shaped artichoke. Complemented with a soft young red from Cantarella and you... More

I tried both MoVida & MoVida Next Door within two weeks of each other. Both venues are good but my preference would be MoVida if you can get a reservation. The key difference between the restaurants is the variety of options on their menus. MoVida Next Door has less menu items but the food is still amazing. We sat their... More

What started out in Spain as tasty, quality food to accompany drinks, here in Melbourne smacks of the emperors new clothes. Neither ground breaking or hearty, this is standard Tapas dishes at inflated prices. It doesn't take long to rack a sizable bill without sating your hunger. It's neither a restaurant or a bar. More

Just not the same experience as the first Movida.... Just not as good and disappointing lack of choice (when you remember how good Movida is.) But - stand alone it's a pret cool place, fun and buzzy and the small menu very good, fun wines etc. worth a visit, but not a substitute. More

The little brother to MoVida - MoVida Next Door - also served a diverse array of Spanish- inspired tapas dishes. Given that these dishes are intended to be enjoyed as tapas don't be surprised if the serving sizes seem small. The intention is to order a diverse array of dishes and share them amongst your party. The cocktails here are... More

All I will say is that we would consider moving to Melbourne for the restaurant scene and this one was one of the main reasons, we need more time to go over all the menu items and wines and cocktails... More
