Movida is a special place for my family, we come here every time I visit Melbourne. This time we were celebrating my son’s recent promotion. We come to Movida because the food, service and ambiance is always the same, par excellence. Because we chose the banquet, it would be good to see some changes, but nevertheless it never disappoints.

Delicious food, wonderful service. I’ve never been to Spain but this feels like I imagine it to be! Our group of 3 had a tapas dish each & shared 2 entrees, a main & patatas bravas & were all perfectly full. Wine list a little pricey but we did enjoy the spicy margaritas ($24 each). Highly recommend
