Sydney's Spanish quarter, based on
Liverpool Street (a 10-minute walk from Town Hall station and just past Sydney's main
cinema strip) offers some great restaurants, of which Capitan Torres is my favorite.
Downstairs is a tapas bar with traditional stools, Spanish serving staff, and lots of
authentic dark oak. Upstairs on two floors is a fabulous restaurant with heavy wooden
tables and chairs and an atmosphere thick with sangria and regional food. The garlic
prawns are incredible, and the whole snapper a memorable experience. The tapas are better,
though, at Asturiana (02/9264 1010), another Spanish restaurant a couple of doors down on
the same street.
