Balcon by Tapavino

The verdict

The guys from Bar Tapavino on Bulletin Place have opened Balcon By Tapavino on Bligh Street, and we're quietly confident it will be our new favourite bar in the CBD. Their second venue brings one seriously impressive wine bar, and a restaurant complete with a unique food menu to our fair city. 

With over 5,000 bottles of wine on show, yes that is three zeros people, and an outdoor area, this will be the place to go for after-work drinks. The wine is sourced from top quality wine producers in Spain and Executive Chef, Todd Garratt (previously from Buzo in Woollahra, Wine Library and Vincent) is using quality produce to create beautiful tapas dishes that are a contemporary take on the rustic and refined dishes from Northern Spain. 

Open for brunch, lunch and dinner, Monday to Friday from 10am and Saturdays from 12pm, you’ll have plenty of time to get through several wines and tapas plates, and maybe even take a nap in between.
