Melbourne City News

Spanish heart of Docklands

Sometimes it’s quite hard to make that trek down to Docklands. Or so say the CBD locals. But really, the distance or a tram ride or train in for that matter is all in the imagination.

A straight forward walk past Southern Cross Station and yes, before you know it, you’re free of the boundaries of the inner city.

Sure the concrete and high-rise buildings may seem to be lacking the warmth and glows of frequently pounded pavements, but here is a community that is growing. And what community doesn’t believe in quality food mingled with spectacular sunsets and friendly service ?

Whether you live in Docklands, in the city or the far flung suburbs of metropolitan Melbourne make sure you make your way down and check out an iconic restaurant.

"Docked" led by the charismatic owner, Domenico Antonio Pronesti is a charming spot.

Beautiful glass windows overlook the water and the atmosphere is decidedly Spanish with a contemporary twist.

Specializing in delicately prepared  large tapa meals, larger than usual at affordable prices.

The menu mimicks an ol treasure map and is limited to two pages  which makes choosing a dish quite easy. Rather than spending hours wading through dozens of options you have the choice of an appetizing fare including seafood, meat and vegetarian choices (GF,LF,V)

If you want a transformational meatball experience try the pork meatballs in less-than-average tomato sauce, these specimens are finely crafted and will leave you with new standards.

For vegetarians, eggplants make a well-deserved appearance with stuffed mushrooms, bravas not to mention a vegetarin paella top the evening with either Spanish beer or wine you can can easliy taste the docks of Barcelona.

This Barcelonian beauty is a great accompaniment to the stadium precinct. Sangria is also available.

For a pleasant change from the city restaurants make sure you find " docked" as it truely is one of Melbourne's best kept secret and hidden gem.
