What Alexandra Stanton doesn't like about Despaña:
Nice ambience, on the pricier side though. Much better than Spanish tapas down the road. I would try the paella next time it looked great. Recommendations: - mushrooms were the best - Russian salad delicious -pan fried squid Average: -prawn and chorizo skewer had no seasoning or flavoring really -plates of meat/salami: meat cut too thin to taste View all feedback. What Sabrina Scolari likes about Despaña:
I have eaten here with a group of 11, the set menu plus a few extras. As it turned out, the set menu would have been more than enough - generous wraps and delicious. I am a longtime patatas of Brava's lovers and these were slightly the best I had in Sydney. Crispy crispy on the outside, soft in the middle and with a rather spicy sauce completed. The red beds and the feta dip were also amazing like the chicken skewers... View all feedback.

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...

Despaña in Glebe offers a nice ambiance but is on the pricier side compared to other Spanish tapas restaurants in the area. The paella is highly recommended, as are the mushrooms and Russian salad. However, some dishes like the prawn and chorizo skewer lacked seasoning, while the meat plates had meat cut too thin to taste. Despite the enticing menu and atmosphere, some diners found the overall experience underwhelming, with some food items falling short of expectations. The restaurant offers a great selection of tasty tapas dishes and is a classic gem for those looking for a warm Spanish ambiance and delicious food. Though there were mixed reviews on some dishes like the paella, cheese lovers will appreciate the cheese boards available. Despite some service hiccups and inconsistent food quality, Despaña remains a popular spot for tapas in Glebe.
