The most delicious tapas anywhere! My wife & I love the food & service at MoVida. It's not cheap, but it's certainly worth it. All the hype is true & you must try it. Great location too, so great to grab a bite before catching a show, movie or going out.

Brilliant food and atmosphere. We had the 10 course menu of small plates. Each dish was well presented and had a pleasing combination and balance in flavours many most were new to me such as the artisan anchovy with a smoked trout sorbet this deliverd a mouthful of bliss. The service was impeccable and as we were not familiar with... More

Always, always good and with a wine list to match. We have been happy after each and every visit so far and in my view the cost is reasonable.

Pretty good service, we didn't have to wait too long considering we hadn't booked and the food was good. The only thing I would say is that it's not exactly the best value for your money, it's more of a tiny splurge experience

Nice atmosphere, good food and friendly service. Restaurant was very busy even on a Wednesday night which made service a bit slow but beside this good experience. On the expensive side for tapas but worth it

I first heard about Movida 2 years ago but never managed to dine there since my trip plans were often too rushed to make reservations. This time round we were in Melbourne CBD on a Sunday afternoon and on a lark I decided to stop by Movida about 1pm to inquire about a table. The place was about 90% full... More
