Super special find with wonderfully unique character in Moonee Ponds! We wanted to try GK as a fun date night restaurant to see if it might be a fun date activity with the cooking class options at a later date. The space is full of eclectic charm and interesting design features. The menu has a variety of tapas options that could suit different palates and taste preferences. I especially enjoyed the beets as a vegan option. The sauce on the cauliflower bombas was fantastic. My partner found the brisket tacos and crispy potatoes to be delicious. He also said the entree size of the calamari was quite generous.
