Movida Next Door, CBD

So, what do you do after you've just a full day of eating? You eat some more! After tasting plates and meals throughout the day during our outing at the Food and Wine Festival, Gaz decided he needed something more. Like a sit down meal, out of the cold and rain. We had wanted to get some snacks from the Food Trucks Unite before we headed home but the thought of spending another second out in the cold and rain deterred us.

Instead, we headed to Movida Next Door and decided to try our luck at finding a table in the tapas popular restaurant. The rain worked in our advantage and we were instantly shown to our seats at the bar.

Artichoke, salt cod topped with caviar. Salty and nice.

Eggplant chips with dip. Didn't care much for the dip but the eggplant was light and melts in the mouth. Loved, loved it except for the skin, makes it difficult to eat and very unsightly with a strip of eggplant strip trailing out from the mouth between bites!

Chorizo and peppers sandwich. Wow. Chorizo is so wonderfully moist and spicy and sweet. The peppers luckily were not spicy. They were plump and melts in the mouth.

The bomba, which appeared on MasterChef. Potato croquette stuffed with chorizo topped with capsicum and mustard sauce. What can I say, it's deep fried and it's delicious!


Our bill came to $30. We saw the person next to us pay something like $60 for his food and I reckon that will be how much we will need to spend for a satisfying dinner and not have to stop by at McDonalds on the way home.
