Movida
Spanish tapas against a backdrop of cool street art
On Melbourne’s iconic Hosier Lane, legendary Movida has been serving Spanish-inspired bites since 2003. The first restaurant to ignite Melbourne’s love for tapas, signature dishes like the Anchato – a Cantabrian anchovy on a crunchy sourdough cracker with capers and a cooling smoked tomato sorbet – remain favourites. Other tapas include burnt butter and corn croquettes, a Manchego cheese tart and octopus terrine, with classics like paella also on the menu. There are many seating options in the cozy yet modern restaurant, but snagging a spot at the bar will provide the best views of the alleyway’s vibrant street art.
