About Botellon Spanish Tapas & Wine Bar

This softly lit Chelmer hideaway delivers an authentic slice of Spain without the CBD trek. Diners head here to unhurriedly graze through plates of crisp eggplant chips, baked saganaki with figs, and grilled octopus. When the communal chicken and chorizo paella hits the table, scrape down to the rich socarrat crust and wash it down with a glass of crisp Txakoli or bold regional reds.

  • Spanish Tapas & Paella: Plates of crispy eggplant chips, baked saganaki with figs, and chicken and chorizo paella with a crisp socarrat crust.
  • Neighbourhood Wine Bar: An intimate, fairy-lit suburban sanctuary serving Spanish regional wines and cocktails for dates and group catchups.

  • Communal Milestone Feasting

    Generous share plates, set banquet options, and celebratory paellas make milestone birthdays and gatherings seamless and engaging.

    Great selection of tapas and share plates from the banquet menu. There was alot of ‘Ooh’s and ‘Ahh’s going around the table each time a dish was served.

    We had our first date at Botellon and now each year we come back for our anniversary. It’s amazing every year and the food, service and value for money has always been incredible.

  • European Ambience in the Western Suburbs

    Guests enjoy European-calibre tapas, curated wines, and fairy-lit charm right in the neighbourhood without traveling into the central city.

    Thanks so much for a beautiful evening, and even better that we didn't have to go into the city for such an experience.

    The saganaki was absolutely divine, rich in flavour and the saltiness perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the figs - definitely a must try.
