Welcome to Saint Malo, the Spanish restaurant in Canberra that brings the taste and sound of the Mediterranean to your plate. Our passion for Mediterranean cuisine was born from a love for travel and exploration, and we strive to offer an elevated dining experience that transports you to the Spanish coastline without ever leaving Canberra. Our menu is designed to showcase the fresh and vibrant flavours of Spanish cuisine. We pride ourselves on using only the finest ingredients, sourcing local and sustainable produce wherever possible. Our dishes are simple yet elevated, with a focus on grilled meats, fresh seafood, and vegetarian options. From our signature Paella to our mouth-watering grilled octopus, every dish is a work of art. We offer a curated wine and cocktail list featuring some of the best Spanish wines and cocktails, perfectly paired with our dishes.

We loved the food, the staff and the experience. The only issue we had was being asked to leave before we’d finished our drinks because another party had booked the table. Perhaps a bit of forewarning next time.

Our party had coeliac and gluten intolerance requirements. They catered for us beautifully. Not only were they happy to advise on what we could have and what we should stay away from, the service was friendly and the food delicious. We will definitely be going back ❤️

Do yourself a favour and head to Saint Malo in Canberra. From the moment we entered the staff were lovely and helpful. Because we couldn’t decide we asked them to bring us a sampling of their best dishes. It started with a charcuterie board that was amazing. This was followed by Patatas Bravas, King Prawns and grilled Octopus…. Best we’d ever had. We finished up with a Boca Blanca and the Chocolate Fondant which was the perfect way to end the meal. There were so many other menu options which we’ll surely return for, and the wine selection was great too.
