About Encasa Restaurant

Encasa delivers a lively Spanish escape in Lane Cove with tapas, sangria, and generously sized paellas built for sharing. Tables fill quickly with sizzling garlic prawns, beef meatballs in almond sauce, and freshly baked sourdough to catch the seasoned oil. Regulars often lean toward the oversized pans of seafood or chicken and chorizo paella—a standard order for two comfortably satisfies a party of three or four. Outside, heated street-side seating welcomes diners with dogs, while the kitchen rounds out meals with churros dipped in rich chocolate.

  • Oversized Shared Paella: Standard two-person pans easily stretch to feed three or four guests alongside shared tapas.
  • Heated Dog-Friendly Patio: Paved outdoor seating features heaters and water bowls for diners bringing dogs along.
  • Bustling Tapas Atmosphere: Tables share sizzling garlic prawns, albóndigas, and fresh crusty rolls beneath lively Spanish music.
