The best restaurants, bars, and little eateries I've happened upon are situated in the little alleyways and side streets of this maze of a city we call Melbourne.
To discover these hard to find restaurants, and watering holes, you either have to
A. Take the time to let yourself get lost in the city
or
B. Pry the information out of a local
After meeting my new friend who's been living in the city for quite some time for a drink one of Melbournes best kept secrets, Misty Place, we were in the mood for some small bites.
Just two doors down, Rikesh guided me to a sensational tapas bar where every night is like the weekend.
MOVIDA NEXTDOOR
Movida translates to "movement" in Spanish,
and you're sure to find plenty of it on any night of the week at this cozy restaurant.
I'm told there's almost always guaranteed to be a wait list ,
but boy, is the food worth it.
Movida has a more than satisfying
selection of vinos to choose from while your waiting at your wooden tables for your tapas to arrive.
FOOD?
The Ajo Blanco was my favorite of the tapas.
This $4 mouthwatering Chilled Almond Soup
with Grape Granita.
Followed by a little Cured Sheeps Milk...
We also had baby Calamari in Squid Ink
and a few other nightly specials scribbled
on the chalkboard above the eclectic bar,
but they were so delicious that there was no time for a photo opp.
And to finish?
Who doesn't love Churro's with Chocolate Dipping Sauce?!
I give MOVIDA NEXTDOOR a 2 Thumbs up!
