La Braseria

You walk down Wind Street expecting the usual chain suspects, then stumble into something that feels like it belongs in Barcelona rather than SA1. The dark wood and warm lighting create an intimate atmosphere that's worlds away from the chaos outside, whilst the smell of proper charcoal grilling fills the air. The menu sticks to Spanish classics without trying to be clever – think prawns pil pil that actually has a kick, tender lamb chops with garlic, and paella that doesn't taste like it's been sitting under heat lamps. Staff know their stuff and won't rush you through courses, which is refreshing on a street where most places are obsessed with turnover. It's pricier than your average Wind Street fare, but you're paying for actual cooking rather than microwaved mediocrity.
