On a cold and rainy winter evening there is no better retreat than this warm, dark Spanish bar. Grab one of the tables or sneak into a little romantic corner and order some soul-warming Mediterranean comfort food. Expect authentic Spanish tapas -- garlic prawns, ceviche, marinated mushrooms, pan-fried squid, and good black olives. Specials on the blackboard regularly include conejo (rabbit with tomatoes and peppers), quail, and B.C. scallops. All of it comes with lots of crusty bread for soaking up the wonderful garlicky goo. La Bodega also has a good selection of Portuguese and Spanish wines and the best sangria in town.
