Our Reviews

If in the past you travelled/lived in Spain, you will be able to find the same flavours and tastes at La Central, at South Melbourne Market. Alberto will guide you through different cheeses and Jamones choices, pairing them with great Spanish Tintos.

What a great Spanish store in South Melbourne Market! You will find the most high quality stuff to cook a paella and other typical spanish dishes as well as wines, beers and tapas. You can even taste before buying as you enjoy the market vibe. Don't forget to ask the friendly staff for cooking tips to make the best paella.

The team at La Central are extremely friendly and passionate about good quality Spanish food. We pop in almost every week to pick up our favorite fare.

My partner is Spanish and La Central was a treat to stumble upon while visiting Melbourne. We haven’t seen as many hard-to-find Spanish products anywhere else and the tapas menu is the closest you’ll get to an experience in a Spanish bar in Australia. The owner was also very friendly and professional with us as customers.
