Had a Group booking, so we had the deluxe banquet. The quality, taste and quantity of food was praised by my team and they catered well for the vegetarian in our group with personally presented plates of his own. Drink requests were pleasantly responded to quickly and the wine recommendation was well suited and right on budget to be enjoyed. Overall this is a terrific venue and several of the team have recommended ot their friends and family already.

Sit out the back in the balcony area. Shaded from the sun and always a good breeze.

An outstanding restaurant. Wonderful, genuine and friendly service. Incredible wine - and wine recommendations! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We especially loved the cheese board, octopus, and Basque cheesecake. Highly recommend and will definitely return. An absolute gem!

Balcon will always be my go to for Spanish in Sydney. The one negative point is that the food portions are quite a small/light for the price. 100% a must try tho!

Great food but prices are now really high. I don't like the menu showing the tapas by the piece price. Unfortunately, this great place is now out of our price range.

Our waitress was amazing. She knew all the specials and also had extensive knowledge regarding wine pairings. The food was awesome from the few tapas plates to the Paella which was one of the best we’ve ever tried. It was a great night.
