Alegria

I had a great time at Alegria and I’ll definitely be back.
The portions were quite small for the price (although this seems to be the norm for Milton), however the quality and presentation of the food was the redeeming factor. Each of the three tapas we sampled were mouth-​watering.
The desserts were amazing as well, especially the macadamia and white chocolate brownie!
The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the ambience was warm.

Well where do I start — what an impressive place. I’ve been to Alegria twice now and both times have been very impressed. The staff are amazing and always checking on you to ensure you are happy and have no worries.
The first time we went to this restaurant we had the zucchini flowers stuffed with cod (absolutely to die for) the garlic prawns and also the ham and cheese croquettes. These 3 dishes were stunning and are the reason we went back a second time. Though the menus are seasonal so the second time around we were unable to get these dishes. The waiter brought out a complimentary little pastry filled with caramelised capsicum and feta and from someone that doesn’t like capsicum — it was beautiful!
The food here gets served to you quickly, everytime I’ve been it’s been a packed house and they still provide efficient and satisfying service. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Alegria Mediterranean Bistro & Bar, sitting along one of Brisbane beautiful street — Park Road, worth you to pay a visit and have a look at the beautiful architecture buildings along the street and also to search for some good ‘gems’ around the area.
Alegria is a mixture of Italian and Spanish serving quite an options of tapas and wine list for you to select but sadly, with the price I was to pay, a little more surprise was to be expected for the food TODAY but, it was still satisfying. (I’ve been here many many times with my family that the owner recognises my dad. Food has always been satisfying and sometime, surprises us. But today, was just average.)
Well, visiting a Spanish Bar, how could you not ask for a Sangria (red wine cocktail)? Very disappointing I must say. I may judge that, it is very likely to be the new bar tender’s fault who does not have an idea what he is doing and serving the drinks very very VERY impolitely and by saying this, he was lectured by the supervisor after and off cause, by judging him, it is because he made 4 mistake and 1 of it, I had to give him a very bad stare.
This has been my, uncountable visit to Alegria. I’ve been visiting this place on and off for the pass 3 years with my family. However, this visit is just disappointing and would say, it is due to the bar tenders fault. I would have rated Alegria 2 star if this was my first visit. The reason for a 3 was that my family and I have visited this place many many times and was always satisfied. But unfortunately, just not this time.
My suggest is, be there on a Friday/​Saturday night when the owner is around AND, when the experienced staff and bar tenders are working. =) Nothing goes wrong and you will indeed, have the best time ever. Not to mention, we tried a couple of times late breakfast/​lunch at Alegria and indeed, love it !
Note: Not kids friendly. Suitable for family with no children, couples and group of friends.

A great spot for Tapas and sharing meals. I recently went to Alegria for the third time and once again it did not disappoint. We were a group of nine so I made sure to book a table a week ahead of time. We shared tapas and 2 different paellas. The muscles, soft shell crab and meatballs were favourites. The balsamic vinegar that comes with the sourdough bread is to die for. We also got a few litres of the red sangria which was tasty but would have liked a bit more fruit than oranges in it.
We did not order The leg of lamb but another table did as a main and it looked amazing!!! The atmosphere is great and the service is very good as well. It was very affordable for the food and drinks that we got and some of the group was surprised in a good way on the price per person.

Three and half out of five pepper explosions!
I attended this restaurant with two mates for tapas and cocktails. We shared five tapas between the three of us and it was slightly too much food. This didn’t stop us from ordering a dessert to share, as well, of course.
I thought all of the meals were tasty but the one I actually liked the best was the bread. For dessert we ordered the blood orange & pepper ice cream and, holy batman, it is such an odd dish. It tasted cool and refreshing for the first ten seconds and then the pepper hits your tongue and I needed a drink of water. Wee too much pepper but I am still glad to have tried it. We also ordered cocktails, which were expected prices but they tasted pretty good.
This restaurant is located in Park Road at Milton. There is street parking available at Park Road but there is never enough for everybody, so be prepared to fight for it or walk for a bit. Milton train station I super close so that’s always an option. Just to be clear, though I had tapas and cocktails, they are a full restaurant.
Overall, I had a pleasant experience but it was a little expensive (typical of Park Road, though). I would be back for a night out with friends again — it was fun to have cocktails and tapas with friends.
