Best Spanish Restaurants in Clovelly

Mixed but promising experience. The food was excellent. Kingfish ceviche, seafood paella were excellent. The paella was served in a skillet and it was hot enough that a perfect socarrat formed. The cocktails likewise were as good as any speciality bar, our favourite had smoked paprika and tequila. We went on a Saturday night, which was understandably busy. But had the misfortune of coinciding with a function booking. They were really very busy. We arrived ten minutes early, were seated ten minutes late. Entirely understandable. However, it took them another 20 minutes to take our order, and only then when I actively got their attention. On the upside the food came out almost instantly, and was delicious. And from then on there was more service, but unfortunately at this stage it just made it feel rushed. We had noted in the booking that this was for our anniversary, but the experience was like being a walk in. Some regulars came in at the same time as us and were offered cocktails while they were standing, so they definitely take care of their customers. We would have happily ordered and drank more if the vibe was different. We decided to skip dessert and more drinks in favour of another venue down the road - it wound up being a good choice to leave, the service at the next place was excellent. The food was great, the staff although busy were amiable, and they clearly have good rapport with their regulars. Even with the mixed experience I’d like to try more of the food, I just might phone ahead and ask what nights a quieter.

I love this place. Such a great atmosphere and the food is next level.

Everything just went above and beyond, the staff is extremely friendly and helpful, the food is good as always

Wonderful flavours and excellent service; my new favourite place for lunch.

Great food, lovely ambience- it’s a perfect spot.
