Cantaloupe Bar Restaurant

Came here for drinks and tapas with a friend… overall, a little disappointing.
The drinks were ok, and fairly priced, but the tapas (we must have ordered about 5 different types) were among the worst tapas i’ve had. Now i know tapas are supposed to come in small plates… but i found these to be too small (smaller than regular tapas). Aside from that, it was generally bland, and seemed like poor quality ingredients. Given how unsatisfying they were, i obviously felt the price was too steep.
Aside from this, as it is a large venue, it becomes very apparent when the bar is not full. I was there on a saturday night… and a little put off by how empty it was. Also, the music in the dining area was too loud (a volume better suited for a nightclub… which it clearly was not).
The best part of the night was probably the service. The staff i dealt with were really friendly and charismatic… sadly, this is not enough reason to come back…

For lunch, the menu is limited and the food isn’t great especially with the ample other options in the neighbourhood, but it is a good place to sit for hours and read/​work during the day because it’s very relaxed and no one would bother you.
I’ve never been here for dinner but the menu looks a lot more promising, and it would be good option for an after work drink where you can actually sit and chat with people without fighting for bar space or to speak over the music.
I’d say check it out for a drink, and eat elsewhere.

Nice bar, mixed feelings about the restaurant.
I’ve visited several times the bar which was always fun, and the bar food was good. Now we tried the restaurant in the back of the venue.
The service was friendly, but slow and inattentive.
The Spanish platter as starter was good. They have only two vegetarian options as main dishes, and one was not available. Shame, because the other dish didn’t match the description on the menu and was disgusting. The other burgers and steaks were good.
It was Friday night and the music was so loud, it was nearly impossible to have a conversation at the table. Something you have to consider, probably worth trying at another day.
And regarding the service: when I can try the first bottle of wine, let me test the next one as well and don’t pour it on top of the other wine in the glasses.

These four stars all go to the sweet potato fries. Holy lord.
The rest of my experience at Cantaloupe Bar… meh.
And everything else on the menu looked pants (IRL, not just on the menu).
