What a delightful dining experience! Firstly the manager was very accommodating in arranging a little table that was exactly to my request in terms of position. Our waitress was attentive and charming, and the food was delicious (so much in the banquet!!) Adored the croquetas, the scallops, the home-baked bread, and never ate such amazing corn in my life! Jamon was top rate. I'm not a huge meat person so perhaps having the slow braised beef plus pork belly was too much meat for me, but overall I loved it.

A hip, hustling and bustling inner city joint, Bombabar serves reliable Spanish dishes and a wide variety of drinks. We had dinner at the downstairs restaurant, and went with the pre-theatre menu for $45 as the best value (available until 7), which includes six dishes. We loved the croquette, smoked trout on a crisp, and the pork belly. I wasn’t a big fan of the beef and found the patatas bravas and the salad overly salty. They’re happy to swap dishes from the set menu if there’s something you don’t eat, which is very accommodating. We had plenty of sangria, which was easy to drink though I wasn’t sure how much alcohol it actually contained. For dessert (not included in the set menu) we had the Bomba mess and churros, both of which were fine. We went up to the rooftop bar for an after-dinner drink, and it has a nice view of the city but is very noisy, making conversation a bit difficult. Overall, this is a lively place with good food, and we wouldn’t mind going back. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: A$60–80 Food: 3 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
