Little Drop of Poison

It was my first time here. Gio and James were very friendly, social and entertaining whilst whipping up the drinks and food behind the bar.

There was a great selection of wines, cocktails and the tapas was delicious.

Super glad to have come across this local gem.

Hosted my hens at LDOP, the food, drinks and atmosphere were amazing - shoutout to the staff for all the great music choices, too! My friends and family were very impressed. Thank you all so much!

One of the best bars in Melbourne, the staff, ambience, food and drinks are incredible. Very lucky to have this so close to home -
Spicy margarita is a must

Favourite local place, food is always a hit as is the cocktails on offer. I always come back to this gem

10/10 experience in a genuine hole in the wall environment. Geo (owner) wasn’t there this time but the staff are absolutely incredible and made us feel so spoiled. We have been many times and will be back again soon!

Woo hoo, what a find! We sat at the bar, drank Sangria, and shared delicious food. Could have stayed longer, and we'll definitely be back.

Love it here. Always welcoming. Always ready to offer drink suggestions aimed at your mood. The menu is just right. Enough on there to satisfy and enjoy. Brilliant flavours.

Love this little gem in Eltham! We go here often for great wine and beautiful tapas. The staff are amazing, and know their stuff. If you're looking for a cozy bar who serve a beautiful large glass of shiraz, this it the place to go.

A regular go to for us. The food and cocktails are amazing. If you love tapas and want your tastebuds to dance then book a table here. Thank me later

Great place to unwind with a few drinks and authentic South American food. First place I take friends visiting the area. Best Spicy Margarita I have had.

Beautiful food and delicious cocktails in a quaint and cozy bar setting. Cleaned every plate and drained every glass! Will certainly be back for more.

Really excellent, great food, great drinks, great service. Unexpectedly authentic, especially as its in Eltham. You'd think you were in Barcelona.

Wow, I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to dine here. So disappointed that I’ve missed out on the best food for so long, but won’t be making the same mistake in the future. Went with some girlfriends and shared some of the best tapas I’ve eaten in a long while, but the 2 stand outs for me were the croquettes & the grilled mushrooms. Seriously so pleased I’ve now come to know this little local is in my area.

Took my Mum here for her birthday. L. D. O. P has such a cool, vibrant, quirky atmosphere. This was accompanied by uniquely attentive service and a selection of delicious tapas style dishes utilising quality ingredients. Could not recommend more highly.

Tapas equal to me best experience in Barcelona. Great service. Great cocktails and wines. Loved it.

Intimate, friendly, communal isolation

. 6 stars.starts with a tipple and a tapas and grins on from there.

Our favourite place to go in Eltham. Always wonderful service, interesting food and good variety of drinks

Tucked away in a laneway just off Main St is one of Eltham's hidden little gems. Owned and operated by ex-giant steps (Yarra Valley) chef Gino this charming, cozy little spot will become your local favourite very easily.

With only a tiny little space to work with Gino and the team pull of magic in both the bar and kitchen right before your eyes, delicious tapas dishes like the prawn rolls and paella will have you coming back again.

The cocktails list each thoughtfully crafted has plenty of variety to satisfy, and if not a which chat with the ever charismatic Gino will have him making something from scratch to match what your feeling.

As a local of the area I am both proud and delighted I no longer need to travel to the city to find great tapas.

* sidenote - the bar is small so to fit your group I highly recommend sticking to a smaller group of around 6 and booking ahead. The outdoor area is undercover and is quite delightful, with at night.

Great food and drinks. Nice wine selection. Good is varied and uniformly delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit, we will be back!

Best Cuisine in Eltham! Tucked away down a little laneway off the main strip this humble dwelling makes way for some incredible eats. The Chilean inspired menu is perfect for sharing and taking in all the flavours. This is something you would expect to find in the inner city suburbs and we are truly blessed to have it as a local. Perfect for a date night and sharing food for two - would be harder with large groups as it is a bit of a squeeze but they do have some extra space outside which could suit in the warmer months. Our new favourite!
