Following on from my Melbourne Weekend Away blog, I have finally sat down and had the time to blog about MoVida, an amazingly fantastic Spanish restaurant in the Melbourne CBD. This is my second visit to Melbourne & also my second visit to MoVida. It is now within my religion that I have to visit here on any Melbourne visit.
The menu at MoVida is split into Tapas & Racion. Tapa being the small individual pieces (buy per piece) and Racion which are good for sharing amongst a few people or a large dish for one.
We started with a few tapa. First was the Anchoa- Hand-filleted anchovies on croutons with smoked tomato sorbet. The texture of ice cold sorbet against a salty fillet of anchovy was definitely different and an acquired taste, I have a love for anchovies though so it was thoroughly enjoyed.
My one piece of advice for people in Melbourne or heading to Melbourne is to check this joint out, you definitely won’t be disappointed. I recommend making a booking in advance, we booked about 3 weeks before our trip and couldn’t get a spot on the Friday or Saturday night. There is also MoVida Next Door (literally next door- venue is a lot smaller, food is just as good), MoVida Aqui or MoVida Terraza (both on Bourke Street).
