Despaña - GLEBE

I ate here with a group of 11, the set menu plus a couple of extras. As it turned out, the set menu would have been more than enough - generous helpings and delicious. I am a longtime patatas bravas lover and these were easily the best I've had in Sydney. Crispy crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle and topped off with a moreish spicy sauce. The beetroot and feta dip was also amazing as were the chicken skewers. I will definitely be coming back here!

Saturday evening catch up with a friend that was long over due. We decided to give this tapas bar a test run. Having walked past it many times and thinking... have to check out this place, and finally last night was the night. The place is lovely with interesting decor. Like wine bottle light fittings and a tin rainbow chow that greets the front door. There were a few out door seating, but we didn't want to run the risk of being eaten alive. So anyhow, if you come here with 4 people, you could sample their banquet they have on offer. Unfortunately, we were only a part of 3 so we just ordered off of the menu. The food is reasonably priced and portion sizes are standard but don't be fooled by the serving, it's very filling. We recommend their meatballs! Super tasty! It's a must. Starting off with a jug of sangria (which I forgot to take a picture of! Sorry) anyhow... it was really refreshing for a balmy Saturday evening in Sydney. We ordered to share amoung 3: starting with a share platter of 30g cured meat, followed by their large seafood paella, which was average. I've had better paella. Their outstanding meatballs, and to fish off, their half serve tasting cheese platter with four different types cheese and quince paste. There were some cheese left over, so plenty to go around but not enough crackers though. The food price was reasonable, the service a little on the slow side but picked up towards the end of the evening. We all walked out with a full belly, and setting you back around 45pp so the price of the banquet with the sangria. Can't go wrong.

We were welcomed by the cute rainbow bull at the front. The food was also great. Paella was delicious, as were the cheeses, and the small dishes we had. I love cheese so cheese boards always score highly with me!
