La Bodega Restaurante & Tapas Bar, Vancouver

This Spanish restaurant began serving tapas, the popular small-plate shareables, in 1971. La Bodega Restaurante & Tapas Bar has lots of brick walls and wood accents, while prints of Picasso's Don Quixote, wind swept beaches, and even a bull's head adorn the walls. There are three dining areas, with Spanish embellishments highlighting each. Try the piquant Patatas Bravas and the locally famous and thirst-quenching Sangria. Choose from the wide selection of cold and hot tapas, from comfort foods to red-hot ones. The venue is also an ideal space to host private events and parites. Call for more details.
