Bodega - Victoria

We stopped in to Bodega last night and had a lovely meal. It was fun trying a number of different sherries and the tapas was excellent (stuffed peppers, roasted potatoes, scallop and shrimp ceviche, salted almonds).  The vibe was great, with good music, and the service attentive and very professional.  It was a real delight and we look forward to returning.

Bodega is on Trounce Alley and is right next to another tapas joint. The problem is that the other tapas bar web site was not working right so Bodega became our choice by default. This turned out to be our most memorable meal in Victoria. We started with Garlic Prawns which were perfectly cooked and swimming in amazing garlic butter. We tried to figure out how to take the garlic butter with us but the amazing tasty bread worked it out for us. Lentils, kale, mushrooms, chorizo and sherry vinegar were another delightful and healthy taste. We enjoyed their Marinated Eggplant Salad with goat cheese. Again, getting our vegetables on vacation was made possible. The Cerdo Con Atun which was pork shoulder wrapped around greens with a tuna aioli and caperberries. Everything was great but the tuna aioli was the most impressive element and something we have never tasted before. What would tapas be without Patates Bravas? This was a great version and was probably put us over the top for just a little too much food! Nicely crispy potatoes are always the keyWe were very impressed with Bodega. It was our favourite meal from this visit to V.I. Our server was so friendly and efficient (and she laughed at my jokes).!

The scallop and halibut ceviche is very good also the lamb meatballs are delish with a glass of red wine

Great happy hour ! The food and drinks are very reasonably priced, staff are friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the small tapas board and meat board. We were lucky enough to sit at the bar and watch everything being prepared. The waitress was kind enough put together some really delicious non alcoholic and tasty drinks ! Check this place out for sure !

Great ambience, great selection of wines and very enjoyable tapas. Really enjoyed the mushrooms and lentils and the clams. This is definitely a spot I will return too.
