"MoVida chef and co-owner Frank Camorra was born in Barcelona and spent his first 5 years in his parents' hometown of Córdoba in Andalucía before coming to Australia." Full review
"Booking essential at this popular and acclaimed Spanish joint that dishes up authentic tapas and sherry. Part of a growing empire that includes MoVida Next Door and MoVida Aqui."
"Even after ten years, it's still all smooth sailing and good times at Frank Camorra's flagship tapas house." Full review
"Tables are scarce at this busy tapas bar-restaurant, but grab a seat at the bar or on the couch and soak up the Spanish flavours."
"MoVida offers a choice of tapas or raciones (plates to share among two or more people, or a larger dish for one). Specials are available every night to keep the regulars happy. " Full review

Be sure to book a table (but only if you are a group of six or fewer).
"Movida is nestled in a cobbled laneway emblazoned with one of the world’s densest collections of street art; it doesn’t get much more Melbourne than this." Full review

"This upscale bistro treads a very fine line between mannered elegance and decadence." Full review

If the amazingly delicate crayfish omelet is on the menu, do yourself a favor and order it.
"Capricious white-jacketed waiters, a tenebrous Bill Henson photograph and a jazz soundtrack set the mood. The Italian menu has the appropriate drama and grace." Full review
"Café Di Stasio: the St Kilda Legend where the long lunches of the '80s never quit." Full review
"Muted lighting, views onto Fitzroy Street, impeccable and friendly service in a small and cosy dining room."
"Cafe Di Stasio is one of the Melbourne restaurant big guns, but also off the radar of most tourists." Full review
"You could go a buttery chardonnay from Di Stasio’s own vineyard, but you’re also sitting on one of the best wine lists in town. That’s the beauty of this bar...they serve that pasta so proper-Italian" Full review
