Balcon by Tapavino

We went there for a friend's 60th birthday dinner. We were a big group of 11 people, but the service was flawless and we were very satisfied.

All the dishes were delicious and looked gorgeous. It was wonderful⭐ Especially kingfish crudo,The sauce on the this was outstandingly delicious.
Of course the wine was delicious too！

Came here for the first time and enjoyed a delicious dinner and outstanding service. Our server Silvia was lovely, attentive and handled everything with professionalism — particularly with our allergy notice. Standout dishes were the eggplant with saffron honey glaze and the fish of the day with beurre blanc. Would definitely recommend.

Our first experience at Balcon by Tapavino was so enjoyable that we didn't hesitate to return for our anniversary dinner again this year!

The exceptional food, ambient dining room, and super knowledgeable staff, who will help you to expertly navigate the menu, have never failed to surprise and delight.

We opted for the a la carte menu; 2-3 entrees with 1 main and 1 dessert (which will easily satisfy a couple), and the sommelier helped us to select a wonderful bottle of tempranillo to bring it all together.

Had a fantastic meal here on Friday for five of us. All of the food was delicious and had decent portion sizes. I'd recommend ordering as though it's tapas - we made the mistake of ordering as though we had a main each and it was too much food.

That cabbage salad was absolutely incredible!

They also have a happy hour deal here which was great. The Sangria was awesome!

My partner and I come to Balcon once or twice a year for "big" celebrations - this time was for our engagement! Our server Silvia was wonderful; very welcoming, attentive, gave us great recommendations when we were a bit indecisive. The food is always exceptional, and we were really touched by the chefs' extra "congrats" in our dessert. Thank you as always Balcon team!

Checked out Balcon courtesy of a Fork promotion, and glad I did! Great selection of tapas (and an almost intimidating selection of wines). The options provided were classic in flavour yet with a modern feel. The iberico was top-notch, and loved the tender octopus.

The lamb special was something else, a cross between a sausage roll and classic braised lamb, with a delicate buttery foam-dressing.

Thanks for the fine meal and service, Balcon!

A lovely venue with fantastic food and attentive, friendly, and quick service. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The drinks menu was extensive and well put together, the wait staff were helpful and checked in at the perfect times whenever we needed something, and the food was exquisite. Very glad we stopped in here on our trip to Sydney and I absolutely look forward to coming back.

We had a really good time last night. The food was delicious and the team was amazing. I highly recommend this place.

I celebrated my birthday here at lunch, and I found this restaurant to be excellent for this occasion. The drinks were wonderful (I recommend the rosé sangria), along with the Spanish red wine that our waiter selected for us. The food was excellent, and reflected Spanish cuisine very well. The waiter we had today was incredibly patient, friendly and engaging. For dessert, we even got a surprise free dessert wine (I think a port or tawny?) to pair with the mini donuts. Even better, they even prepared a lit candle for me, wrote Happy Birthday immaculately on our dessert plate with chocolate sauce, and even sang me the Happy Birthday song! I was impressed with how the staff went above and beyond to make my experience exceptional, and so I would highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for Spanish cuisine in Sydney. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience!

The service was outstanding. So very refreshing to have such professional staff. The wine list is to die for. Food was delicious and the portions perfect. Make sure you get dessert. 😀 thanks for a great night we will be back.

Really enjoyed the dinner here, with every dish full of flavour and larger portion sides than usual. Service was attentive and efficient and the ambiance is great. Will certainly come back to try more. Highlight was the mushroom caparccio!

Such flavoursome dishes, authentic and delectable. Everything we ordered was tasty, the atmosphere was vibrant and the service was so friendly. The meats were all cooked perfectly yet tender, seasoned well and nothing was overpowering. A happy repeat diner, and will come back again.

Each of the tapas dishes tasted wonderful and were beautifully presented.

The service was great and the place had a good vibe from the lunch time crowd and the shelves of wine.

The tented area out the back is a surprise and provides a brighter area with ample seating for larger groups.

After the place I originally wanted to go to for a birthday celebration was unavailable, I discovered this place via Google. I’m happy the other place fell through now as Balcon is a hidden gem on the Wynyard side of the CBD. All the staff were welcoming and our waiter for the evening was exceptional - great advice for food pairings and appetisers, which made the meal very cohesive from start to finish. No pressure, no upselling. As this was a birthday occasion, I quietly slipped away after mains to ask if there was even the possibility of a candle on the cake - not only did they deliver they wrote a lovely message on the plate to, and even a humble rendition of “happy birthday.” Can’t wait to come back again for a special occasion

We celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary at Balcon. From the moment we walked in the door we were greeted with congratulations. The staff were attentive all night and the food was divine. Highly recommend Balcon if you're looking for a lovely dinner location.

I had a very quick dinner served by friendly and efficient wait staff. The highlight of the meal was the octopus - that ajada oil was so flavoursome and appetising! The flan had some distinctive bitterness from the burnt caramel, which balanced out the sweetness and added depth to the dish.

The food here is fantastic. Meats are cooked and seasoned to perfection. Sauces elevate the show to bold new heights and the staff are attentive and engaging.
My favourite was the octopus and potato dish as well as the doughnut.
Everything we tried was a winner.

It was a very good experience. We came here to celebrate our anniversary. Staff - Heidi very attentive and sweet, also very knowledgeable that were given very good recommendations. We loved all the food that we ordered.

The sangria were nice too . But definitely not the best we had. However this restaurant still get 5 stars with the food and service .

A must try! What an incredible place. I took my husband here last night for his birthday and from the minute we walked in they said happy birthday, made him feel special with dessert wine, cookies and a candle at the end.
Thanks to Luca and the rest of the team for making his day.

The food is next level, we had the grilled octopus and it will blow your mind.

We also had the croquettes and highly recommend that too! Super tasty.

The ambience is awesome and the outside area looks gorgeous.

We will be back!!

What a place to visit for great food and amazing drinks , great atmosphere would definitely visit again. The portions were big, the food was delicious, the service was second to none and the drinks we very refreshing, the serving staff are pleasant and great at doing their job
