Get ready to spice up your social calendar because World Tapas Day is just around the corner! On June 20th, South Bank becomes the ultimate destination for foodies looking to tantalise their taste buds with a delectable array of share plates. From authentic Spanish delights to innovative fusion dishes, we've scoped out the top spots where you can celebrate in style.
1. Ole Kicking off at the ultimate destination for authentic Spanish tapas! Our taste buds are obsessed with their pincho cordero, think grilled lamb skewers with a kick of smoked paprika and chimichurri. Then there's the jamon serrano reserva - a mouth-watering combo of Muñoz Rojo serrano ham, crusty bread, tomato, garlic, and olive oil. And let's not forget the pulpo - a flavour explosion of chargrilled octopus, paired with pan-roasted potatoes, mojo rojo, cuttlefish ink aioli, and a zesty squeeze of fresh lemon.
2. Barbossa If you're in the mood for something fresh and zesty, Barbossa has got you covered. Their citrus-marinated fish civiche with a side of toasted naan bread is a game-changer. Get ready to become totally obsessed!
3. OTTO Take a trip to Italy without leaving South Bank at OTTO. Their Fiore di Zucca dish is a game-changer—crispy zucchini flowers stuffed with creamy ricotta and parmesan, drizzled with salsa verde. Bellissimo!
4. Popolo Popolo's seared scallops are next-level deliciousness. Picture this: velvety cauliflower puree, crispy pancetta, and a sprinkle of pangrattato all topped with juicy scallops. Need we say more?
5. The Jetty Indulge in The Jetty's iconic Moreton Bay Bug Slider—a mouth-watering treat packed with succulent bug meat, spicy mayo, and crisp butter lettuce. Wash it down with their signature spicy marg for the ultimate dining experience.
6. Southbeach Praise the foodie gods because Southbeach has a treat in store for World Tapas Day! Indulge in their $10 Tapas Deal, available Monday to Friday from 4pm to 6pm, featuring a trio of chips, bruschetta, Korean fried wings, prawn torpedo, and frickles (aka, deep-fried dill pickles!) perfectly paired with Coastal Moon martinis or your choice of Gold, Byron Bay lager, or 150 Lashes.
