Meigas, a Spanish establishment located in Ballarat, is a must-visit for foodies seeking a delectable dining experience. The establishment boasts a cozy and lively atmosphere, complete with Latin music that transports diners to a tapas bar in Barcelona. The interior design is quirky and eclectic, with vintage artifacts adorning the walls. Prices are reasonable, making it accessible to a wide range of customers. Reservations are essential, as the place is always packed.
The menu features a variety of Spanish dishes, including marinated olives, peppers with goat cheese, potatas bravas with chorizo, Spanish omelette, spinach and cheese croquettes, fried sardines, meatballs in almond sauce, and pulpo galicia. The paella is a must-try, but be sure to call ahead to avoid the 45-minute wait. The sangria is refreshing, and the Spanish hot chocolate is creamy and rich.

Fantastic mixed tapas plates along with the paella for 5 people at a work function.
The paella rounded it off nicely and meant we couldn't try the churros, but there's always a next time.
Wait staff were brilliant and engaging. Nothing was too much trouble.
Try it, you won't be disappointed!

Delicious food but two items were not delivered until we enquired where they were. As our lunch was delayed we cancelled the last missing item! Service was great though and apparently they were training up a new staff member. We will be back !

The food was amazing. The standouts for me were the Gambas Pil Pil which were the best I have had and the chorizo croquettas. I spend a lot of time in Spain and the tapas here is truly authentic
