Bodega Bar sets itself apart with a large sherry menu. While we tend to think of sherry as something an elderly aunt might enjoy with her bridge group, it’s a classic accompaniment for tapas. Like wine pairings, the right tapas-sherry pairing enhances the flavour of each dish, and Bodega’s staff can help you pick wisely. They also offer flights of sherry, so you can experiment a little. Highlights from the traditional Spanish tapas menu include octopus carpaccio, fennel and juniper stuffed porchetta and the Barcelona charcuterie board.
It’s a centuries-old Spanish tradition to drink sherry with small bites (or pintxos) and so naturally it’s the wine of choice at this authentic tapas joint. Bodega offers an extensive list of sherry wines and a creative assortment of sherry cocktails perfect for pairing with prawn ceviche or stuffed piquillo peppers and braised short ribs. If sherry is not your thing, there’s plenty of red and white to be had.
