Spanish Tempranillo to wash it down. It was all outstanding! Service and atmosphere top notch. An absolute must if you are in Vancouver and even remotely enjoy Spanish tapas!”
★★★★★via Google“I recently visited Bodega On Main with friends and had a great experience. The atmosphere was lively and perfect for sharing dishes. We ordered a variety of plates to share. The Paella Mixta (saffron) was excellent, with generous seafood and perfectly cooked rice. The Garlic Prawns (Gambas al Ajillo) were a standout, especially when dipping the bread into the garlic olive oil, which was my wife’s favorite part of the meal. I personally really enjoyed the Tomahawk Ibérico. It was grilled very well, tender, and had no gamey taste at all. The Steamed Mussels and Pulpo a la Parilla were also well prepared and flavorful. The drinks were just okay compared to the food, which was definitely the highlight. Overall, a very enjoyable dining experience with delicious food. I would happily come back again.”

The beef tongue was very tender with tomatoes and capers. Sangria and churros was nice and fresh, that vanilla marscapone cream was yum. Our server Ruby was sweet and very attentive. Would definitely visit again.”
★★★★★via Google“Bodega on Main is a tapas style restaurant that's about a 3 minute walk from the train station. It's easy to get to and is on a main street, so there's a good amount of parking right around the corner. Inside, they have probably 3 dozen tables plus some bar seating as well. Their menu is a good size, with prices being pretty good for their portion sizes. The staff here are amazing - super friendly and funny, very good at recommending food, quick with drinks and service, and just overall great people. Now the food... I could recommend almost every dish on the menu, and yes we probably had at least 1 plate of almost two-thirds of the menu. Patatas bravas, tortilla espanola, olivas, marconas, pimientos de padron (1 in 4 has crazy seeds), gambas al ajillo, mejillones, chorizo iberico, chorizo a la parrillapincho moruno, costilloas de res, and chuletillas de cordero we're all absolutely delicious. I recommend making a reservation since they get busy often, kitchen closes at 11:30pm so get there earlier to take advantage of the food and service.”

★★★★★via Google“Loved the Paella at Bodega. The food was outstanding and the service was great. The staff went out of their way to accommodate us as we were on our way to the airport on a tight schedule. Will definitely be back to Bodega next time we are in Vancouver. Great job to the staff and Chef. Thank you for the great dining experience.”
★★★★★via Google“Food was so delicious, I love the atmosphere. Decoration was really good, I kept check around me. Paella was so good. Loved the sea food. Only thing I got the white wine. I don’t like to put ice on it. So it was very warm for me. I recommend that keep the bottles more colder fridge. I didn't enjoy that at all which the taste was good but I prefer cold. Overall it was good experience.”
★★★★★via Google“I can’t fault La Bodega for not having many ready-made vegan items on the menu — that’s pretty typical for Spanish fare. There were still a few things I got to try, and they were happy to make slight modifications. I truly enjoyed everything I ate there. More importantly, the restaurant itself is super cute. I was there with a small group of friends and the European vibe is lovely — we had a blast. Would also be great for a date.”
