The food was so fun and delicious. We got 4 tapas for two and it was plenty. This place is a foodies dream. Everything was wonderful but DO NOT leave without getting the ceviche and the carrots with tahini. (Note for the chef: I wish the ceviche was with something other than potato chips)

Always have a great time here! The drinks are delicious, the food is so flavourful and you can't beat the energy. There's great ambience as the lights are dim and the music is never too loud (like some other places where you can't hear your friends talking). Will be back many more times!
This was the best place we ate in Victoria. Tons to choose from on the menu, and while it's tapas, the portions are substantial. The beef carpaccio was incredible. So much layered flavors, and the meat was melt in your mouth thin. The cheese board had three different cheeses, figs, jam and bread. Cocktails were unique and well crafted. Quick and friendly service. This is a smaller restaurant, so I'd recommend a group smaller than 5, but you could always call ahead and see what they can accommodate you. Would be perfect for date night or a smaller group . I can't wait to go back!

We have been coming to Bodega about 4x a year since we moved to victoria 5 years ago. EVERY time we have had the wonderful Cami as our server. She is super great! We love the everchanging carpaccio and of course the patatas bravas! Highly recommend!

Ok, this place was good. Good drinks, good food, and nice environment. Had four dishes, with two of them being awesome. The grilled carrots were great as was the chicken liver mouse. The other dishes were good, just not as memorable. Well worth a visit.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting La Bodega, a Spanish bar located in the heart of Victoria, and I must say it was an incredible experience. I enjoyed a delightful cheese board paired with a rich red wine, and the combination was simply perfect.The ambiance of La Bodega is captivating, creating an authentic Spanish atmosphere that immediately transports you to a different world. The dim lighting and rustic decor added to the charm of the place, making it a perfect setting for a cozy evening in the heart of Victoria.What truly stood out for me was the impeccable service. The staff at La Bodega were attentive, knowledgeable, and extremely friendly. They were more than willing to offer recommendations, ensuring that I got the best out of my visit.The cheese board was a work of art, featuring a delectable selection of cheeses that catered to various tastes, and the red wine complemented the flavors beautifully. Every bite and sip felt like a journey through the Spanish culinary landscape.La Bodega, nestled in the heart of Victoria, is unquestionably a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the essence of Spain right in the heart of this charming location. Whether you're a fan of Spanish cuisine or simply looking for a cozy place to unwind, La Bodega's combination of excellent food and outstanding service makes it a top choice. I can't wait to return for another delightful evening at this remarkable establishment.

We sat on the covered patio which was a very nice option and we appreciated being able to do so in the off season. It had a really nice vibe and seems like it would be fun for just a drink. The food was on the bland side and did not taste as good as it looked. If you prefer mild flavors the food was well prepared and high quality ingredients but not what I was expecting.
