Chulo - Glen Eira

Want to share Spanish finger food with friends and over a good drink? This is the place for you, right in the center of St Kilda. Nice selection of tasty tapas.

I was looking forward to going here as I had heard the food was very good. The food was fine, but the Spanish theme was ruined by loud American rapper music as the background, which is not what we were expecting in the late afternoon!

As a St kilda resident I was excited to try something new and support the local community. We decided to try the "feed me" menu which at every restaurant the chef usually chooses some great dishes to taste and enjoy but what we received was dry and bland. Such a shame as this is a place we would have loved to have enjoyed and revisited. Once we sent the first item back we didn't love or eat we saw the chef in the pass getting frustrated and from there the manager didn't even approach us but instead stared at us for most of the evening, very uncomfortable. Carol was great though and wish we had her from the beginning. At the end of our tasting menu we received 2 of the same desserts? This is confusing to me. Also when we received the overpriced bill for what we received the waitress said they took off 2 glasses of wine but they actually didn't!!!!! we left feeling still hungry, unsatisfied and disappointed. What a shame. My 2 star rating is generous as I don't like writing bad reviews.

If you are looking for good, authentic and original spanish food, Chulo in St Kilda is the place to go!

Sangria good and food okay once it arrived Service a bit poor. A waitress asked if we wanted anything else, and we asked for some more sangria. Ten mins later a waiter (possible manager) asks if we wanted any more drinks and we asked for some more sangria. When he was away sorting the waitress came back and started to clear our plates and ask if we wanted any more water. All during a 55 minute wait for our main course. Can appreciate was a busy night and is a newish restaurant. Hope others have a better experience. Wont be returning.
