An outstanding restaurant. Wonderful, genuine and friendly service. Incredible wine - and wine recommendations! The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We especially loved the cheese board, octopus, and Basque cheesecake. Highly recommend and will definitely return. An absolute gem!

Balcon will always be my go to for Spanish in Sydney. The one negative point is that the food portions are quite a small/light for the price. 100% a must try tho!

Great food but prices are now really high. I don't like the menu showing the tapas by the piece price. Unfortunately, this great place is now out of our price range.

Our waitress was amazing. She knew all the specials and also had extensive knowledge regarding wine pairings. The food was awesome from the few tapas plates to the Paella which was one of the best we’ve ever tried. It was a great night.
