La Bodega

Hubs and I came on a Friday night without a reservation and managed to find immediate seating at the bar. There's a middle-aged woman there who is probably the owner, and she was amazingly hospitable and friendly to us the entire night! We speak zero German (except danke), but she spoke English and explained the menu for us.

We ordered 5-6 plates and thought they were all pretty delicious, especially the garlic bread!! Seriously, the German, Swiss and even Vietnamese food we had in Switzerland and Konstanz sucked (although I don't like German food in general). So definitely go for Spanish food! And get the flan or creme brûlée with fire for dessert.

This place has a very lively, intimate and cozy atmosphere like a pub. Very warm and fun!

CASH ONLY and good luck finding street parking (you'll probably have to walk a bit or park at/around the Lago shopping center).

Must make a reservation and you'll want to do it well in advance! It's worth it though, trust me.

We went as a large party and just had food served to us all night. It was totally incredible. I'll be dreaming of the barbecued octopus for a while. The vegetables, the fennel, the steak and chicken, that octopus though. I digress, the sardines, the quinoa, the shishito peppers, the mussels, OMG. Everything was absolutely fantastic and the food just kept coming.

The service was excellent, but be prepared! It's winter and this place is HOT inside. You'll be sweating so dress lightly.

Friendly spanish(!) staff, great atmosphere and stylish sea decorations. A real cozy place, sadly a bit pricey.
