ViDa by Lorentes

You walk into ViDa and immediately feel like someone's whisked you somewhere warmer. It's on Stoney Street, tucked away from the main drag, which means you get that neighbourhood restaurant vibe rather than tourist trap energy. The kitchen takes Spanish food seriously—this isn't tapas theatre, it's the kind of place where croquetas have real depth, jamón is treated with respect, and the seafood specials actually reflect what's in season. The team behind it clearly cares about authenticity without being pretentious about it. Service is genuinely warm, and the wine list makes sense.
