The surprises of Spanish cuisine await at Lola Cocina Spanish Restaurant, tapas bar and restaurant, nestled into the maze of streets in Crows Nest. A warm interior draws a crowd of stylish Sydney siders to unwind and relax, dining alfresco with icy drinks in hand and sharing an array of sumptuous plates at rich timber settings as a flamenco guitarist begins another sultry tune. Mouth-watering meatballs stuffed with manchego cheese and pan-fried chicken and pork chorizo with caramelised onion may be just some of the tantalising bites on offer, while those with ravenous appetites seeking larger meals may indulge in plates like Spanish bamboo rice in red pepper sauce with rosemary, thyme, chorizo, chicken and peas. Just be sure to save room for tempting desserts like cinnamon and sugar coated churros.
