   Thanks, Juan and team, for the amazing lunch and warm service today. The food was top quality, and your attention to detail made it extra special. Big thanks to the chefs. Can’t wait to come back!

   Great restaurant but very noisy and everything seemed to be rushed Food was quite good maybe our choice of paella was the wrong one. Not the best I’ve had🤔

   Our table was outside, very comfortable temperature & low noise level. Shared a seafood paella, good quality seafood with delicious rice. Service was excellent, friendly with good suggestions & info about menu items… wines too.

    WOW, this place was like being in Spain, the food was simply amazing. Had heard good things from others but not been ourselves as Benowa Gardens has not been renowned for great restaurants and is a little out of the way! We were a party of 5 and we asked our table server Juan to surprise us. Every dish was delicious. We had Anchovies, Kingfish (delicious), jamon croquettes, picante stuffed peppers (yum) , octopus (yum), garlic prawns and the yummiest tiny bread rolls to soak up the garlic butter, and the baked lamb with broccolini and garlic butter sautéed mushrooms (amazing). Oh and can recommend the ice cream sandwich with caramel - they are tiny little bites of yummy. The fit out is lovely, the Spanish wine selection is fantastic, and Juan could not have been more keen and helpful explaining dishes and wines. It was a little hot at times with no AC due to the indoor/outdoor open vibe but overall it was just fabulous. Will make the trip to go back.
