Definitely stop by for a meal or drink! Alfred kindly checked with the chef if they could still serve breakfast even though they were getting ready for lunch service. Greatly appreciated the chef being so accommodating.Everyone was warm and service was excellent. Food was delicious and big portion. Nicely fed before flying!
I visit here whenever I am in Terminal 2. Best option by far! The management and all staff are super friendly.
Food is way better than Air NZ lounge..Really fresh and vibrant ingredients - look at the color of that salad and the pesto's!Friendly staff, really tasty food. Comes with a price tag, but at least you get what you pay for.
Visited on the evening of 17th of AprilThe manager here deserves a big applause. Asked if I could takeaway some tapas and he said it was better to eat it there. Restaurant was packed but he created a seat for me at the bar. Amazing. This manager knows what hospitality is about.Compared with manager at Urban Provodore who just didn't want to be there and was brusque with me...I watched and heard the staff as well. Super friendly and well trained. There is a very positive buzz here.I'm a priority pass holder and do the rounds at Melbourne Airport before every trip. This place is number one. Undisputed. Well done.
A welcome sit down before an international flight, with very quick service. However, I have to say, the Machego Sheep's milk cheese with quince paste was the smallest thing I have ever been served in a cafe or restaurant. Doll size, and certainly not big enough to share, at some crazy price I can't quite remember and the online menus are out of date. It does say "tapa" as opposed to "tapas" though. The patatas bravas wasn't spicy. The mulled wine was tasty and nicely presented in a sugared glass.
Another shining star for Movida!After two of our previous international flights departed outside of their trading hours, we were very excited to finally try out Movida at their airport location.From the moment we walked in we were greeted by a really friendly staff member and advised we could sit anywhere and order at the bar or via QR code. We chose the later and the food came out pretty quickly (very important at an airport!).We ordered the Pan Catalan, Mushroom and Mahon Cheese Omelette and the Chicken Schnitzel Roll.All three dishes were absolutely outstanding, super tasty and in keeping with Movida’s reputation by only using the best produce!For a brief moment in time we forgot we were at the airport which was very welcoming as they had created such a relaxed environment.Special mention to Annie, who was there for us from start to finish. Annie was pleasant to us and also pleasant to some other not-so-nice travellers. What a superstar!We will definitely be heading here before any future long haul flights. What a way to start our overseas adventure!
The staff are very accommodating specially the manager, His service is top notch! He does everything and you wouldn’t expect that he’s the manager! And the chorizo? It’s amazing!
Stopped in here for a break and some fantastic and good value food before an early morning flight. Great place with very friendly and helpful staff as well as fast, quality service with a smile. Great place for dining in between flights on your own or with the family. We had our two kids with us and they had the chocolate muffins with hot chocolate, while we had the eggs on sour dough and a croissant. The food was top notch and will definitely be stopping in again! A
