This is a gem of a place and a great addition to the Jetty Road dining scene. The 2 "Chef's Selection" options offer great value (approx $38 and $44 per person) and are the perfect choice for greedy, indecisive Librans like me who want a bit of everything! Our party of four chose the cheaper version and the dishes, 9... More

We were recommended this place to eat by a friend who had visited. We found the service good. The staff answered any questions we had about the menu, and if they weren't sure they asked and came back. The food itself was lovely. Fresh, tasty and yes the portions are quite small - but isn't that the whole point? The... More

The three of us shared about 8 tapas en a bottle of wine for $120. We enjoyed the food and have to mention the fantastic staff. One of us has an allergy for onion and garlic and asked the waitress which dishes to avoid. She came back 5 minutes later with the menu on which the chef had specified for... More

This is a usual tapas restaurant although the menu is quite small. The portions are small and not very exciting. Ie the paprika potatoes are actually fries with paprika on top.... not one hand cut potatoe in sight. The service is ordinary. We had to follow up on everything we ordered, even the bill, and it was an effort to... More

Finally, a Spanish bar in central Glenelg. Tasca Viva, according to the owner/chef who trained in Spain for three years, means lively bar and this addition to Moseley Square lives up to its name. We had lunch there, a group of six friends. Tasca Viva is also open for breakfasts on weekends. We shared many different tastes, supported in our... More
