El bulli is fun n colourful. The perfect place for a friends get-together with a Spanish twist. Don't miss el pulpo a la plancha, simply divine. Exellent service.
Great service, lovely food and warm atmosphere. Nice place for family and friends gathering. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who like to try Spanish cuisine.
Wonderful service, delicious food. Staff were very accomodating to two of our guests dietary requirements which was much appreciated. Lovely decor and a great atmosphere would definitely reccomended.
Excellent decor but food was a bit underwhelming. Many of the dishes lacked flavour, especially the soup and deep fried courses. The olives, sardines and pork rib were good. Overall still a positive experience thanks to the discount voucher.
Most of the food was cold. The ribs were tiny. The resturant is dark and the bar seats are no comfortable. The waiter did not even top up water.
Great atmosphere, however the dishes were brought way to quickly (normally I wouldn't complain) but before we even finished our second dish all the other dishes were out on the table going cold. The food is great though!
Good service, excellent food! We eere pleased we went on a Sindau as I would imagine the love music could be really loud as there are no soft furnishings, a lot of wood and it is a small open plan space.
Not enough food, probably the least Popular items on the menu that they have added to this deal, all just very small entres. The food is very bland
Great atmosphere, nice setup. The food was nice, and the drinks are okay. Service was quite good, wish there was more live entertainment though. Overall pretty good.
Bought the voucher from Groupon for 8 courses tapas. Whilst the service was fine, the food was not worth the $$. $5 sangria was good but that was it. You can't choose the food. It's already set.
coming from a Spanish background the food that serve was very ordinary. May have been the chef on the day??? The flavours of the food were unbalance.( which was the $55 menu) and food was limited. The sangria was I think watered down, which was ashame. was missing that bite maybe more fruit????
The food was great and served with a smile. We ordered too much and they even organised for us to take it away without us even asking. Dessert cocktail a must.
I've driven past El Bulli for years - always wanted to go there, and finally did. Nice food, nice atmosphere and great service - would definitely go back.
Margaritas were very good, also food quality and taste pretty amazing, rather small coursers (you could have probably summed the 9-course menu up as a 3-course menu) but we'll definitely give "El Bulli" another try sometime soon :-D
Very nice food and the service was excellent. The Band was great and we dance a lot . It was a great night out and my sister in law enjoyed her Birthday dinner
Great atmosphere in the restaurant. The deal we bought was great value. The food was amazing and service was great. Churros also amazing. I will be coming back for sure.
Good food. Cava short on the wine list for a Spanish restaurant. Tend to be rushed at the 6:00pm sitting. This is also a bit early ... and 8:00pm too late.😎🎄☃🎉
Service was great but food was seriously too salty. Been few times and always walk out a little disappointed with the quality of the food. It's not bad not the best experience either.
Cons-Was not really value for money. Everything was portioned so there was not much food and a majority of the meals were not substantial. Core meals or el buli specials were not included or substituted for anything similar. We also ordered white bait as a side dish and this was a horrible dish. It was burnt and salty. The pros- The staff were very friendly and helpful and besides the whitebait the food tasted nice.
The magarita's at this place were awesome and highly recommended. We went with a groupon voucher and although the options were delicious and packed with flavour the portion sizes were a bit small. Otherwise a great experience and highly recommened
Good atmosphere on a Saturday night, with live music. We were group of 6 so done a banquet which had a good variety of tapas. Food serving reasonable size.
Absolutely loved it. Could not be happier with the food and the service. Great atmosphere and 1 of the best places I have eaten at
Food was very tasty, but the 8 courses was not enough food for two. We needed to order extra food to add to the whole meal, so the deal wasn't that great.
Over priced for quality and serving of food. Lovely ambience but can find that anywhere. Would only recommend if you are looking for live music and a very light meal for $$$
Very disappointing. The groupon special serves were very small compared to the rest of the menu. 9 courses and we had to order additional food! The flavors were not that great either there is better tasting and more generous tapas in Sydney for less or similar price and if your under staffed and having trouble serving the customers why not just put water bottles on the table instead of customers having to ask all the time? The margaritas were nice but next time I will go to my usual tapas in Glebe.
Overall good but the place is too dark which I think contributes to some mosquito flying around the restaurant. The staff were very friendly though.
It was amazingly great Thank you for such a great lunch, definitely will be back. The Food was taste and the service a 10 Luisa
I visit El Bulli with a Groupon voucher very disappointed. food tastes great but Portion sizing greatly reduced to what is normally served guessing as we had a prepaid voucher. For example sardines costing normally 17.50 on the menu, we got exactly 4sardines. And olives costing normal 8.50 we got 4. Wait staff just seemed to be in a hurry to get you out of the restaurant. Taking food away as soon a finished. waitresses themselves cold and unfriendly, the service gave the whole place a unfriendly atmosphere! I would not advise going here, I certainly won't be going again!
Worst Groupon experience. Total rip off as I felt like I had paid $110 for salty fried bad food in some dinghy food court. Four of us had a small tomato soup, small bowl of olives and some sliver of sardines to share, one each of a stuffed zucchini flower, a croquette, a fried fish ball, a slice of pork, 3 prawns - and that costs $110 as a groupon deal - was meant to be value of $220 - really?!? Have no idea why they had such good reviews. Found a fish bone in what I thought was a croquette, complained to the wait staff who, instead of apologizing, brought the bone back to the kitchen and returned with a menu to explain to me that it didn't come from the croquette but another fried ball - I was like really?!? Left in total disgust.
Amazing food and wine. They had great service and I would defiantly come back another time to eat the food and wine. Thank you so much
El Bulli had excellent food and atmosphere. friendly and helpful staff, lovely location. reasonably priced. good band and music. Will definitely go back there soon.
Excellent, great customer service, fast, tasty, reasonable priced. great live music, spanish-latino suthamerican and popular english songs A bit tight but ok Definitely will be there again. parking free unlimited 2 blocks away Max
good the food is so tasty and the service is really good. We all enjoyed the night we have in this special and luxury restaurant
Great food, great entertainment and great fun! Took my mother here for Mother's Day and she can't stop raving about the perfect lunch out! Will go again
Best tapas in Sydney. Great atmosphere. Live music on the weekends. Very efficient and friendly service. Will definitely go back again...and again...and again :) Highly recommended.
Loved the food, the music, the style of the restaurant and our waitress was awesome! Had to wait a bit because our waitress was busy with other tables but once the good got there, yummmm! That just shows how good they are, all their tables were packed
Good food, service a bit slow at first, but after we ordered, the food came out quite fast. Good value for money, we had 8 dishes between 4 of us and 2 jugs of sangria. About $50 per head. Too full to have dessert!
This is the third time I've been to this restaurant so it's definitely doing something right. The food is delicious and the stand outs for us were the two off Groupon deal dishes we ordered. The lamb was moist and juicy and the patatas fritas divine.
Good food and good service, vary nice music , good place for big and small groups, price are a little bit high but worth it
Lovely ambience and people but the order was slightly mucked up although still nice There were some crumbs in my water which really put me off There was a bug on the wall right in front of me just crawling around
