Super special find with wonderfully unique character in Moonee Ponds! We wanted to try GK as a fun date night restaurant to see if it might be a fun date activity with the cooking class options at a later date. The space is full of eclectic charm and interesting design features. The menu has a variety of tapas options that could suit different palates and taste preferences. I especially enjoyed the beets as a vegan option. The sauce on the cauliflower bombas was fantastic. My partner found the brisket tacos and crispy potatoes to be delicious. He also said the entree size of the calamari was quite generous.

We were there during Happy Hour till dinner on a Friday night. There was not a single soul who stepped in. The ambience is great and inviting. The food though was average. The prices were too expensive for what we got. We went for tapas platter for 2 which has the cauliflower bomba, prawn, olives, tapas and wagyu meatballs. Everything were average, nothing special but the cauliflower bomba was the worse. I don’t know what it is. It’s sticky, gooey ball. No resemblance of cauliflower. We ordered the duck as main. That’s the best so far in the menu. But would not compete with restaurants in the city. We also had the passionfruit bomba set. We are not stoked but at least our daughter loved it. Sorry for the review, we really wanted to like it. Overall we enjoyed because we get to enjoy a meal together in peace.

A very warm place. Only one server and one chef but everything when very smoothly. There is a happy hour between 5 and 6 with very good wines. The food was really really good.

Service was very very slow. It wasn’t even busy , and food came out really slow too, we ordered a banquet and every dish took a very long time to come out. If it was busy I would have understood but it wasn’t even busy... drinks took too long to come out. Food pretty average , was disappointed as I had really wanted to go there .
GK Tapas Bar & RestaurantResponded on August 28, 2024
We always aim to deliver a great experience, and we are sorry we missed the mark on this occasion. Our chefs normally space out the Banquets so there is a pause between each dish but it sounds like in this instance they took too long. We will use your feedback to improve. We hope you will give us another try in the future to show you it was a one off.
