We loved the Galician octopus, the toasted bread, and the shrimp or gambas as tapas, and as a main dish, we had a seafood paella! Delicious! We also had a wine from Mendoza, Argentina, and churros for dessert! We were recently in Spain, and in Madrid, Barcelona, and Malaga, we ate like gods—nothing to envy! Thank you, Gillian, our server, for this culinary adventure.
We had a great experience at Bocada - every thing we ordered was absolutely delicious! Definitely a must try if you’re in the area.

Came with a large group of 8 and they were extremely accommodating and the food was delicious.
Highly suggest for anyone visiting the county.

We ordered our food one dish at a time, hesitating with each choice, unsure if we’d enjoy the next one. But for a full hour, we kept ordering different dishes and desserts nonstop—and even a week later, just thinking about it makes me hungry all over again, despite being completely full! How is it even possible for a restaurant to have every single menu item taste this good? Kelly was the one who helped us that night, and he was incredibly polite, attentive, and welcoming. A huge thank you for making our evening so memorable—it was truly an unforgettable experience!

It’s certainly a nice environment and a friendly staff…no faults there . Some of the food items were not quite what we expected. The Iberico jamon 36 months aged was delivered as Serrano ham. There is a difference. The beef tartare was overloaded with lemon juice and quite salty, to the extent it was astringent and lacked any beef flavour. Also the accompanying parmigiana crisps were too salty…we left them after a few samplings.The pane con anchovy was very disappointing with one scrawny anchovy on each piece of bread ( nice sourdough…but too much flavour for a delicate fish flavour). The cheese plates were decently sized but the Mahon was quite hard …a little more time out of the fridge. Grilled octopus was perfect. The croquette with jamon was quite runny and lacked any discernible ham and it could benefit from a higher oil temperature to have a more crispy shell rather than soft greasy shell. The desserts were good. The banana and coconut cream was delicious. The churro was also good, although a little overcooked, churro should be soft in the centre . Next time we will have to try the suckling pig.

We had a very good dinner here on a snowy winter's night. We shared a number of small plates and one large plate. The anchovy toast was delicious, but a second anchovy on each piece wouldn't hurt. The croquetas we're nicely done, but offering 3 to share and upcharging for a fourth just feels cheap. Calamari and octopus were good. The short-rib large dish was also well executed. Service (Eric) was impeccable. We didn't really want dessert, but we're swayed by the chocolate mousse with a passion fruit centre, surrounded by a cloud of mascarpone cream on a yuzu caramel base. A dream! Sitting by the window was pretty, but drafty and cold. All in all solid food, a little pricey, and excellent service.
Amazing food and service. A must try if you’re in the area. I will be dreaming about the anchovy toast until my next visit! Don’t forget the dates too.

We had a great dining experience at Bocados while visiting Picton this weekend! The tapis was sensational & beautifully presented. Our server Gillan couldn't have been more attentive and he provided expert descriptions of each dish & wine selection. It was a memorable meal and we'll be back! Thankyou!

The service was excellent here! The anchovy, octopus and tuna were very good! However the beef tartare was overly salty. Other than that, great experience.
