Enrique’s School For To Bullfighting

It’s a quirky little spot with intensely romantic mood lighting, an extensive Gin menu and fresh, flavoursome food.
Our waiter was absolutely fabulous and went through the whole menu helping us find what would satisfy our tastebuds.
After he described the taste sensation that is the Arroz Negro he had completely sold me, I ordered it without hesitation. It is similar to a black rice paella and it did not disappoint — it was to die for!
The perfect combination of flavours just popped in your mouth. Juicy fresh squid and tasty jamon cooked in chill and garlic and topped with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, I can’t wait to head back for more!

The staff are always having fun and they bring real energy to the venue. The music is loud and cheesy (their 80’s playlist freaking rocks) but it really works. They’ve got a dining room out the back if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the bar, but personally, I prefer to be in the thick of it. The bar area is split into standing and sitting and if you want a table on a Friday, get in really early, or be sensible and book. I’ve walked past to see people almost queue out the door to get in. What I like is that even when it’s that busy, the staff don’t seem to lose much of their cool.
Other reasons it is an awesome venue:
— Gin tonicas
— Spanish food
— Yummy wines
— Hilarious bartenders
— $ 5 Sunday sangria
Overall, it’s totally winning.

We arrived very late to Enrique’s and thought we had totally missed the food, but luckily we were able to get a little something.
Fantastic food, and the cold meat platter was such fantastic quality. Pickled vegetables and sour dough bread were equally nice but the main even for the night were the ham & cheese croquettes. If you think you have ordered enough, order a couple more.
Also I went up to the bar to ask about the cocktails and the bar man was really helpful and I let him had free range to make his favourite cocktail. The Rhubarb and Custard Sour, so much flavour and the aromatics. Beautiful.
Enrique’s will definitely be on my radar for the next time we are kid free and are going out for dinner.

Can’t recommend this place. Not a great atmosphere and the staff are very average. The head manager was pretty rude. Food is great however. And as a gin bar they have a great choice.

Enrique’s OMG menu definitely made me say «OMG!». 6 courses for a mere $ 55 is an absolute deal at this Beaufort Street bar and a perfect way to spend an evening with a small group of friends. Enrique’s is primarily known as a gin bar with an exquisite array of gins, tonics and garnishes available. However, don’t go past the food options whilst stopping here.
The OMG menu featured popcorn, croquettes, ceviche, beetroot salad, a sorbet palate cleanser before we done into the mains. Perfectly cooked barramundi and meat so tender it was falling off the bone beef ribs. The barramundi was thrown in as an extra as we had 6 of us dining. And of course to finish all of this off was dessert.
Enrique’s has secured its place on Beaufort with it’s great menu and great drinks selection.

Enrique says relax! This place ticks every box for me: Great atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, great cocktails/​drinks and the best beef ribs you will ever eat in your life (the desserts are pretty amazing too).
I cannot rate this place highly enough, I’ve had nothing but great experiences here!

Great cocktails and great bartender!
My girlfriends and I popped in for a few cocktails before we headed out to the city. The cocktails we chose were amazing and the bartender serving us was great, however the man who was working at the entrance and cleaning tables was extremely rude.
When we arrived we weren’t asked if we were looking for dinner or drinks and were told that there was no room for us, we were only looking for drinks so we squeezed in at the bar which was fine with us. When a small bar table became available we jumped up and moved over to it and just as we sat down he rushed over shouting at us saying «back up, back up and move back to where you just came from» about 3 times.
The bartender was nice enough to explain that he needed to clear the table (of 3 glasses) before we were allowed to move, which in my view could have just been said to us rather than yelling. After this we didn’t bother finishing our drinks and left — very disappointing service.

We stopped for an early dinner at Enrique’s and it was most enjoyable. This was my second visit and on both occasions I have found the menu and service to be fantastic.
They have an amazing selection of gins to choose from and you can mix and match tonics and accompaniments which is great if you are a gin lover like me. On this occasion I went for an elderflower spritz which was lovely and refreshing.
We started with croquettes and the chicken liver parfait brioche sandwiches — both amazing! I could have easily eaten a few more of the parfait! Next up was the patatas bravas and the barramundi. The potatoes were some of the best I have eaten — so crispy on the outside!!! The fish was excellent and skin was crispy and salty and so was perfect!
It’s definitely worth a visit and the food is reasonable priced, what is not to love?

Great spot for gin lovers! I love the gintonica selection — choose your gin, tonic and garnish. So much great selection of different gins from all over the world (and love those WA ones!) and clever cocktail combinations. The menu was even compelling enough to convince my non-​gin drinking partner to give one a go.
The decorations are so charming — I’m not sure what the scrabble tie-​in is but I like it! Each table was labeled as a different scrabble tile. The cow hide booths were quirky, and the whole theme of relax is so evident and really works. We ordered the pre-​fixed menu with a wine pairing, cleverly called Enrique Says Relax.
The menu came with the jamon and manchego croquettes, beetroot salad, beef ribs, sherry chorizo and ceviche. I really enjoyed it all except the beetroot salad which was fine but nothing special, and unfortunately I found the ceviche just so tasteless and bland, it was definitely underseasoned.
It’s funny how the restaurant still calls itself a pop up but it’s been running for a little over 2 years at this point.

The mister and i were lucky enough to grab a table without reservation on a busy Saturday night, by the amount of people they had through while we were eating id definitely recommend booking ahead (unless you’re like us who just wander down a street and see wheres available)
The staff were awesome, great attitude and wonderful service! More than happy to answer any questions about the yummy cocktail list :)
We had the lamb cutlets, ham & cheese croquettes & squid sliders for entrée and they were all deeeeeeelisious! For mains my mister had the steak and i tackled the ribs, they came with a side of cubed potatoes sprinkled with paprika and a potato bake style dish … perfect!
Have happily been recommending this place to everyone

If there were 6 stars, that’s what Enrique’s would get. Our waiter was so helpful and friendly, he sat down with us and helped us pick from the many dishes and drinks on offer, and I loved that the dishes were explained as they were brought out to us, which didn’t take a huge amount of time, but really enhanced the experience and we knew exactly what we were eating.
The quality of the food was top notch, as were the drinks. As a sangria lover, I was delighted to see they had them for $ 5, and were served with a delicious apricot brandy. They were all good, but the rose was definitely my favourite.
Enrique’s is for sure a place I’ll be trying again, mostly just to get through their drinks list

— Very friendly staff.
— Lot of gins available. My friend really enjoyed the gins they provided.
— Diverse range, but priced at $ 10 a stubby
— Food wise, the tapas were ok, though nothing stood out as being particularly spanish except for the chorizo. Shared 4 tapas between two of us, and was still feeling hungry.
— The ambience was nice though the seating was a bit cramped between us and the other tables.
— Recommend for a date night, but if your after a solid feed go elsewhere.

Great food, and one of the best places for a gin and tonic in Perth.
I recommend the kafir lime leaf and capsicum. You can now also get this at The Flour Factory in the city (I think it’s called Enrique’s G&T), as apparently the owners know each other, but Enrique’s is better.
If citrus is more your thing then they have plenty from which to choose.

One of my favourite bars in Perth. The pop up bar brainchild by the folks next door (Beaufort St Merchants) — that continues to pop!
Groovy Wild West deco without being too hipster or naff same goes for the spunky and friendly waitstaff. Outrageous selection of gins and $ 5 sangrias (red, white or rose) on Sunday’s!

Specialising in GIN and delicious men serving it. You can create your own concoction or choose from their suggestions menu. I could not go past the gin+jalapeño+cucumber suggestion as I like it spicy! We enjoyed the occy, roast pumpkin salad with foam goat cheese and the ribs with slaw. Super tasty, wicked environment and awesome music! will definitley be going back for sloppy jose Wednesdays!

It has taken me well over a year to make it to the pop-​up (seriously can you say that after this length of time?) after a working up an apatite on the walk here from the city we were introduced to some of the warmest service in the area; the crew here talked through seating options (we beat the rush so had options) and then the menu… and the Gin!!!
We enjoyed exploring the gin menu system; chose you preferred brand, tonic, and garnish or enjoy one of heir recommended favourites — great system.
Thinking it was more a bar I was really pleasantly surprised by choice of food and on this Wednesday night in question each dish was nicer than the last; there are already two dishes I want to go back for the especially the clams.

Not what I was expecting from all the reviews I read… Lots of reviews were raving about the food and cocktail list. Yes the gin list is extensive and there is a range of cocktails but food wise, a lot of the menu was seafood. (Which is not my friends favourite) After reading Unilocal reviews about pork parcels and wings, I was excited but neither were on the menu
When we arrived, (late — it took half an hour to find a park) we were told we missed our booking by an hour. This was not the case as I had my booking via email and I checked, the maitre d showed us to our table but wasn’t very friendly about it. I explained the parking situation but he wasn’t interested. Our table wasn’t occupied and there was another free one so I am not sure what the issue was.
We had a couple of land cutlets which were the size of a 50c coin and were $ 6 each & the barramundi. The lamb was full of flavour but there wasn’t near enough meat — I would’ve been happier paying more and having more to eat. The barramundi had crispy skin and was nice.
All in all, not as exciting as I had expected.

The Über Blonde and I first came here in early November and liked the edgy Front Of House dude — all grimace and shirt fronty. And today after a tiring afternoon as fake radio host up the road my ‘tog mate The Sparrow and I needed to imbibe. She had never been and actually got a bit gushie about the cocktail list — another gin junkie!
And gin we did. After opening a Clipp tab we were off! The Sparrow spied a Margaret River gin, The West Winds, in a little number called The Cutlass, all up in your nostrils with basil, Marmalade and lime juice. I went for the Beefeater 24 — tonic, grape slices and lime.
Both were superb — and big but not quite a-​two hander. We also decided on some weekend wings and they were on us in minutes.
This place has a cool vibe but dive into a booth if you want to get away from the moderate street noise.
This second visit was as impressive as the first — great staff, brilliant ‘tails and vino and close enough to the other good bits of Beaufort street. Sadly the parking timer was pressing down on us so we decamped. But if you have not been yet you need too but go the early for a choice of seats and cab it — its worth staying a while.

Yayyyyy, i’ve finally eaten here, so now i can review!
And i just knew it would be damn good!
Have been before for their sunday $ 5 sangrias and that was awesome enough with their adorable coloured glasses and fizzy pink sherbet on the side, reminds me of a little science project, mixing the concoction up at the table.
Anyway my friend and i love our sunday bar/​eat– hop so after a delightful nibble at 5 Bar we walked on over to Enrique’s for sunday sangria and late lunch.
The special for the day was the slaw and calamari sliders which were so good we had seconds. The brioche bun was really tasty and the calamari had just enough spice. Then we also got the chips which i found amazing. They were cheesy and garlicy and fluffy on the inside… so good!
Love the décor, the faux cow hide booths are rad.
Sundays are a great time to go and get a late bite or refreshing drink… their gin menu is quite extensive, and i’m yet to try something from that menu, so theres always next time!

Sitting in this cool setting sipping on a Gin with elderflower tonic with strawberry and chilli, my main thought was, Enrique where have you been all my life?
Let’s be honest they were already one foot in the door before I came here because I love G&Ts and this place is all about the G&T.
Some places claim to be all about the Gs, but this place even has a selection of tonics, and they will even let you chose your own garnishes!
The list of garnishes was amazing and had my head exploding with how many good combinations of garnishes, gins and tonics I could make and how little time I had in this life to experience them all!
I got 1 G&T with elderflower tonic, chilli and strawberry *****
and
1G&T with plain tonic, basil and grapefruit ****
Both great combinations.
We got only one dish — the squid sliders. They were good, but let’s face it, it didn’t stop me from having the room for a McFeast later on in the night.
There were a few food options that sounded really good, but there were all small nibbles so don’t come famished or you will leave poor.
¡Arriba!
