Oh my goodness! We are Mordialloc locals and, This place has just opened up in Mordi. We went on the second night they’ve been open.The experience was absolutely incredible!!!! The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was beautiful! They had live music, staff were lovely and accommodating. We went for an anniversary date night, and we were absolutely Blown away. Honestly best food we have had in Mordi in a long time!

The food was lovely, we chose the ‘FeedMe Classic’ which was 5 small dishes. Each dish was flavour full but I don't think it represents good value for money. The atmosphere was cozy but the entertainment a little too loud at times to talk. The service was great, staff very attentive. Good addition to Mordialloc will give it another try.

​Tio Tapas offers a truly delightful dining experience that captures the essence of a Spanish evening. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance is fantastic—warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or a special date night. The staff's dedication to amazing service truly shines through; they are attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the menu, making you feel right at home.​The food, however, is the real star of the show. Every dish is a culinary journey, showcasing the vibrant and rich flavors of Spain with a modern twist. The shareable plates are perfect for trying a little bit of everything, and each bite is a testament to the quality of the ingredients and the skill in the kitchen.We have ordered paella for two bit of wait but worth it.​ Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just looking for a meal out, Tio Tapas delivers on all. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking an unforgettable evening of yummy and hot food, great service, and a truly enjoyable atmosphere.

Fantastic service from start to finish! Our table wasn’t quite ready when we arrived, but we were warmly welcomed and offered a drink while we waited. The live music added to the vibrant atmosphere, such a great vibe all night. We shared a few tapas to start and then enjoyed the paella as our main, everything was absolutely delicious. The cocktails were also a highlight! Tio Tapas was buzzing, so I’d definitely recommend booking ahead to avoid missing out. Thanks for a wonderful night - we’ll absolutely be back!!

Absolutely loved our experience at Tío Tapas & Bar! The food was packed with flavour and beautifully presented — especially the sizzling garlic prawns and the grilled octopus, no to mentioned the paella Valencia which were next level. It’s warm and lively, perfect for a night out with friends or date night. Great cocktails and wine selections, friendly staff, and an overall atmosphere that feels like a little slice of Spain right here in Mordialloc. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!
