Villa77 is located in a remodelled house and has a charming front aspect with covered tables on the lawn and a nicely decorated interior. Their setup allows for big groups as well as intimate dining. The menu consists mainly of tapas items and four types of paellas as the mains. We asked our friendly waitress from Barcelona for her recommendations for tapas, and her recommendations were the Chorizo, Croquettes and Pan Tumaca con Jamon (garlic tomato toast and ham), and in addition to that we ordered a seafood paella.

Go when they have fiesta and it's open floor, and you might even be tempted on to the dance floor yourself...

I can honestly say it’s the best Spanish restaurant I’ve dined at in Australia. The paella is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend it if you're looking for an excellent Spanish experience in Adelaide. Don't forget to try the blue margarita!
