Bar España

Sunshine goes best with sharing plates of tasty tapas and jugs of crimson sangria. Introducing Bar Espana, the new Spanish tapas bar and restaurant where all good nights start and end.

A stone's throw away from the beach, this vibrant eatery is located in the trendy district that is Broadbeach. It might be Australia outside, but inside it's very much a Mediterranean paradise; we're talking playful Spanish tiles, bright-red chillies hanging from the bar and a minimalist take on furnishing that makes this eatery incredibly chic but super chilled.

If you're in the mood for sharing, you're in the right place! Flavour combinations come in all shapes and sizes, especially the small tapas plates. Mix and match with classics like the grilled chorizo with chickpeas, the chicken meatballs with a rich, truffled mushroom sauce and the chargrilled lamb skewers that come with a refreshing yoghurt dressing. Jazz it up with some local king prawns or Port Lincoln sardines and add your five-a-day with the stuffed zucchini flowers, tomato salad or sauteed greens.

If you want dinner on one plate, their expertly-made paella is perfect for sharing. Simply grab yourself a spoon and tuck in! And it's not an authentic Spanish experience without a glass (or 3) of Sangria. For something a bit lighter, opt for a summery watermelon martini, passionfruit caprioska or sport an orange tongue with the Aperol spritz!
