MoVida
The verdict
From the frying pan of Executive Chef and owner, Frank Camorra, MoVida is a celebrated Melbourne dining institution that has been dishing up the city's best Spanish fare since the early 2000s. Located in artfully graffitied Hosier Lane, Movida is that rare beast of a dining destination that enjoys longevity, and will no doubt continue to thrive through its exquisite tapas dining experience and flawless service.
A must-visit for out-of-towners, make sure you book well in advance. If you can't get into the original, MoVida Next Door and MoVida Aqui are also located in the CBD. Or, if you want to attempt the experience at home, try out one of the MoVida cookbooks.
