Bulla Gastrobar, a traditional Spanish tapas and small plates restaurant, is now open for lunch, dinner and weekend brunch in SouthPark. It’s their 7th location.
Hours are Sunday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Friday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. I visited the restaurant on Tuesday (its grand opening day) and had lunch at the bar with only two other groups.
Pronounced “Boo-ya,” this tapas spot with a modern vibe is located at 4310 Sharon Road, Suite W01 in the space formerly occupied by Chuy’s.
Start off with Bulla’s popular Bullfighter cocktail ($11) – Bulleit bourbon, Aperol, Dow’s Port, lemon juice, and cranberry.

Another popular cocktail is Bulla’s Lemongrass Collins ($11) – St. Germain, Bombay Sapphire gin, lemongrass syrup, and cucumber. Here’s the cocktail menu:

Here’s a look at their popular Huevos ‘Bulla’ – Eggs, homemade potato chips, Serrano ham, potato foam and truffle oil ($10.50). It’s a popular dish in Miami.
It’s super rich and looks gross all mashed up like this, but it’s tasty.
You’ll have five options for dessert including the Copa Bulla ($8) – dulce de leche, strawberries, Granny Smith apples, and Greek yogurt.
OK, here’s a look at a few other dishes I took shots of while eating a huge lunch alone at Bulla…
