About Arcadia Gastronomique

Indulge in authentic Spanish cuisine without leaving Melbourne at Arcadia Gastronomique on Union Road in Ascot Vale. With candle-lit tables, welcoming staff and walls lined with flamenco dancers, this romantic restaurant is a place to relax and forget about your cares while perusing a traditional menu with perfectly matched wines. Run by husband-and-wife team Andres and Ruth Ruiz-Mesa, expect to say hola to tapas plates such as Spanish white anchovies, dressed with garlic and extra virgin olive oil; or grilled octopus, mojo verde and potatoes. For a memorable main, opt for slow-braised beef cheeks in Pedro Ximenez wine, with mashed potatoes; or a signature paella, with calamari, mussels, prawns, clams, fresh fish and scallops. Don’t go past churros and rich chocolate sauce to finish.

Meal was well presented, fresh and full of complementary flavours. Service was unobtrusive but attentive.
Very nice and relaxed place to dine.
