The new Spanish Bar & Grill is a must-go dining experience for visitors to the Mildura region.

After two state awards for "Best Steak Restaurant" the sophisticated and yet reassuringly relaxed dining venue was awarded the 2009 Savour Australia Award for Excellence, as the Best Steak Restaurant in Australia.

Located with the historic Grand Hotel Mildura, the entrance is from Langtree Avenue, most of the year shaded by an age-old vine covered arbour.

The restaurant is a flexible space, with a range of wine related stacks, barrels and racks enabling the space to be re-configured for groups, while still retaining a sense of privacy. The raised banquettes at the Seventh Street end of the dining room are very popular and provide guests with a sense of intimacy.

The centre piece of the space is the unique red gum grill, with the sights, scents and sounds of the grill adding to the experience.

The grill is not just a slice of entertainment, it's central to the wonderful and unique flavour of our steaks. Freshly fired daily, the grill uses hand-made coal derived from dropped red gum and mallee roots lifted by farmers during clearing. The coals add a subtle flavour to the meat during cooking that cannot be replicated with traditional gas or electrical grills.

So where are the tapas you ask? Well, the name has simply been retained for historical authenticity. The original Spanish Grill was a prominent feature of the old Grand Hotel. It had keen local patronage and was closed in 1989.

The new Spanish Grill has been created to remember the past, and although there's really nothing Spanish about it, the name is to evoke nostalgia, and to please former patrons. The current proprietors are delighted to carry on this Mildura tradition.
