Overview

MoVida was the term used to describe the cultural youth movement born in Spain after the death of dictator Fransico Franco. Today, it is also the name of Frank Camorra's most happening tapas joint. Tucked away in stencil-drenched Hosier Lane, MoVida offers a grazing extravaganza in an enchanting room akin to what you'd actually get in downtown Barcelona.

Melburnians seldom see a bland menu around town and MoVida's never been the exception. With a grand choice of tapas and daily specials, the inner city hideaway is a well-packaged empire of Spanish goodness catering to locals and out-of-towners.

You'd best make a booking because the place packs out. And fast. If you're anything like us, though, you'll be in super early and already perched at the bar by 4.30pm. And with the immense popularity of counter-culture in Melbourne, don't be surprised to notice you've joined a significant number of others who have already set up shop.

With a sensibility towards how the real Spaniards do it, MoVida's got it down pat. Seriously though, we'd highly recommend you go right now because what's not to love about a place that offers an evening's good time with food and drink served fast?
