It's rare that a restaurant/bar/deli offers quality items by nature and by name. Its name being derivative of Spanish terms 'dainty' 'delicate' and of course 'delicious', Delicado Foods offers patrons a unique range of dishes, wines and coffees.

Nestled in the heart of McMahons Point, its small village atmosphere invokes a homely yet refreshing sensation of being comfortable whilst having your senses pleasantly re-schooled.  

This tapas and wine bar oozes character, inside and out. Its dual colour scheme of red and black screams sophisticated Spanish class and tasteful, simplistic style.

Whether you sit outside, either in the cosy courtyard or on the sun-drenched footpath, or inside next to the action-packed kitchen and deli, given its size you still feel relaxed and well looked after. Its tapas-filled menu delights diverse palettes, ranging from chorizo, to olives, to anchovies and churros. Don't miss out on the signature cured hams (Jamon Iberico de Bellota y Jamon Serrano), fresh marinated white anchovies (boquerones) and dried salted cod (bacalau), Ortiz and Entreislas anchovies (anchoas), ventresca white tuna (atun) and quince paste (membrillo).

Delicado offers a diverse selection of olives, olive oils, spices, vinegars, breads and the famous paella pans (paelleras) and tapas plates (cazuelas) that will entice and seduce you. For something unique try some freshly prepared hot Spanish pastries with rich, dipping courveture chocolate (churros con chocolate), or maybe some Spanish pastries with caramel jam centres (alfajores) or crunchy traditional nougat (turron).

Having its own bottle shop, you can indulge in take-home delights from a stunning range of Spanish wines. Sommelier Ben Moechtar, part of the Australian Sommeliers Association, ensures you're in safe hands in your choice of bottled drops of heaven.

So if you're on the North side of the bridge, check out Delicado Foods and soon enough you'll find yourself heading North more frequently...your compass isn't stupid, you know.
