Bonita is Ellerslie’s vibrant slice of Spain — a dining room & bar that radiates fiesta vibes and Andalusian warmth. Co-owner/chef Domingo “Mingo” Aneiros infuses every tapa and ración with authenticity and flair. The patatas bravas are crispy little dynamos, the paella is richly studded with chorizo and prawns, and the sangria flows like a summer in Seville. The space is intimate and eclectic, with tiled tables, hanging ferns, and a curtain-separated bar area that whispers speakeasy allure. Service is genuinely friendly — expect enthusiastic recommendations and maybe a story or two. Bonita proves you don’t need to be in the city to dine like a cosmopolitan.

“Ole! A neighbourhood tapas bar brimming with soul.”
