Yeah go to johnson st, then make your way to kanela. The food in kanela is great, as is the flamenco. I didnt mind the food in calmao either, when andrisito owned it i went there one night and the food was really good...im not sure if they still have the same chef.

But lets face it, spanish resteraunts are good and i do like the food, but as far as cuisine goes its not up at the top of the list when it comes to seeking out culinary delights. (im gonna cop it for that i know so ill apologies in advance

)

and brunswick steet im sure ?? well that general place is pretty happening !!.

the old paella is cool, tapas can be good too, and probably the only way to survive if your traveling on a budget is spain.

the think i like about Northern European cuisine , is just like the classic Greek bbq, cook up a lot of meat . drink Ouzo, or the classicVB beer and just eat until yuou cant move then you can move and you go straight to the Garden (This is all happening in your back yard) and pull out the cucumber and pocket knife and eat 5-10 cucumbers as a come down from the VB
