Denada - Elsternwick

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance while in the area and we were extremely pleased that we did. It was very cozy on a cold winter night and had a great atmosphere. The music was especially good, with a diverse selection and the perfect sound level. We enjoyed the croquetas, halloumi, and paella - all were delicious and reasonably priced. I look forward to returning soon and trying more dishes if possible. The $20 Tuesday special of paella and a glass of Spanish wine was a fantastic deal.

We went to this restaurant on a Tuesday evening with a group of 5 to celebrate a birthday. The restaurant had a charming atmosphere and an enticing aroma that greeted us as soon as we entered. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. Among the 5 of us, we ordered 6 croquettes, jamon serrano, meatballs, calamari, pork belly, corn, and 2 servings of patatas bravas, as well as bread and butter pudding and creme catalana for dessert. We left feeling satisfied but not overly full. However, some dishes were unavailable as they were still being prepared since Tuesdays are the first day of operation for the restaurant. This issue is due to the restaurant being new, but should improve as they settle in. I was looking forward to trying the churros, but unfortunately, they were not available, which was a bit disappointing. I definitely plan on returning with my partner for a casual yet romantic dinner experience.

The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was lively, the wine list and drink options were extensive, and the staff at this restaurant were amazing. Overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely be returning.

Enjoyed a fabulous night at Denada last night. Choose the Feed Me option to taste a vast array of the tastiest dishes that will satiate the hunger of the most voracious eater! The many drinks went down a treat, and a highlight was the brilliant knowledge, humor and service provided by Erik. We will be back for sure!

New, good, busy as busy can be (book for a Saturday night, def), quirky service, delicious food, good wine list. Will definitely be back.
