I haven't had Tapas in a while so with my good friend Matty's birthday in tow, The Spanish Fly was the perfect suggestion. Living in the East on and off for the last 6 years, I feel ashamed to say that I haven't really eaten at many places at "The Spot" but zooming past on the X73 it always seems to have great atmosphere oozing out of it.
Liam starts off the ordering, "We'll start with 3 jugs of Sangria thanks! ($22 each and looks like I'm walking home). A few different Sangria options would have been nice, or at least a white option. Most of the plates come with serves of 4, as there were 6 of us, we got most plates to serve each of us, however, the prices below for your convenience is the usual pricing. We move onto some tasty little dishes to fill the hole there once was. Queensland King Prawns ($15) Split in half and cooked in its shell with a fantastic garlic butter flavour, Meatballs ($12) were tasty, maybe not as moist as I would like it, however the sauce was divine, Patatas Bravas ($10) a tapas favourite, decent portion size, Haloumi ($12) topped with roasted capsicum complimented it well, and how can you go to Tapas and NOT have Chorizo ($12) the roasted capsicum sauce may or may not have been licked off its plate. Paella Balls ($10) were tasty, but I wouldn't be able to tell you what was inside, could have been a mushroom aranchini from the local italian and I wouldn't have known the difference. Pork Belly ($15) tender and beautiful, a bit more crackle would have been nice but who can get enough of crackle? Tortellini with mushroom, sage and burnt butter ($15), Zucchini Flowers ($15), WOW, I have actually never had them before and was pleasantly surprised. It also came with a roasted capsicum sauce. Free Range Chicken ($15) had a generous hint of peri peri. I would have preferred it without the bones though.
For the 6 of us, the bill came to $250. Pretty happy with that, we were expecting more. More than satisfied with The Spanish Fly!
