MoVida

MoVida has been the go-to destination for Spanish food in Melbourne since this bar, the original MoVida, opened in Hosier Lane in 2003.

Now the MoVida empire has spread across the city and interstate, but the original still retains a charm that can't be resisted.

Stop in for authentic tapas inspired by the day's market-fresh produce, meaty mains and delicious sweets, and wash it down with a rich Spanish wine or a cool and refreshing Spanish beer.

On a graffiti-covered cobbled lane near St Paul’s Cathedral, MoVida is the kind of place you can visit to have a beer and jamón croquetta at the bar and then move across to a table and share a plate of slow-braised lamb and some patatas a lo pobre.
