For the love of Spain
Sydney
Did you know there's a little bit of Spain tucked into a street corner in the village-like
hub of Sydney's McMahons Point? Delicado Foods is everything that a lover of all things Spanish
fantasises about: a boutique bottle shop, a provedore, a tapas bar and restaurant and, importantly,
a beautiful place to relax with friends and family. There's an intoxicating amount of fire-engine
red at Delicado Foods – the paint on the walls and shelves, for one, and it's peppered throughout
the beautiful produce packaging. The menu is enough to have tapas lovers fervently ordering
more dishes before the last ones are close to being finished, and the waiters are all well versed in
Australian, Spanish and international wines, so dishes can be matched with some of the finest drops.
Try the kingfish carpaccio and the stuffed zucchini flowers for a light beginning, and then dive into
some meatier dishes such as the confit pork belly with a side serve of chorizo. If you feel like really
splashing out, order some top-shelf jamon iberico. www.delicadofoods.com.au
