Really nice place and friendly staff. The menu is huge and there is a big variety of tapas. 3 portions each or 5 between 2 people is what's recommended but can get a bit pricey for lunch. Good wine selection which can be rare. Need to go back and try other dishes.
Excellent food - couldn’t pick our favourite! And special credit to our waitress, advising us on what to order and how many. A real gem, don’t miss out!
Cava Bodega is always on our top list of dining out whenever we visit the fun and vibrant city of Galway. Staff friendly. Always busy , reservations recommended but could get a 9pm table most week nights. Tapas excellent , great selection of wine, always something new and interesting with food bursting with flavor and interesting combinations. Always a great choice
Lovely place. Always assumed it was really small but it’s quite spacious downstairs. Food was excellent (the tapas bit on the large side relative to some other places) and the staff were friendly and accommodating. Definitely recommend the place.
Knowing my party was visiting Galway, and knowing the town has a distinct Spanish influence, I just knew they had to have at least one outstanding Spanish restaurant. Cava Bodega delivered without fail! The food is amazingly delicious and the wait staff so gracious and warm. They hit top marks across the board, as the decor is equally as sharp as the food and service. Definitely visit if you're in the mood for a culinary treat along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Some of the best food in Galway!! Need to book early ! Lovely atmosphere .great service!
Open at 12:00 PM, not 5:00 PM, delicious seafood and great service, the best thing I remember about Galway!
I had dinner here and they where so accommodating I didn't have a reservation but figured it out for me. Recommend making a reservation. The tort was very good and I recommend but everything I had was great.
After seeing so many positive reviews, we were disappointed with our experience. Some of the foods were unique and delicious, but our server was distant and cold throughout the meal. Reservations here are a must due to the popularity.
Truly outstanding restaurant with inventive food that just happens to be served in tapas format - they aren't grasping at a fad like so many 'tapas' restaurants do, they're quite serious about it. Our boisterous party of five was seated downstairs by the kitchen, and we ordered a few rounds of their clever pinxtos while reviewing the menu - nearly everything was best-in-class, impossible to pick a favorite dish. Service was unobtrusive yet attentive, and their budget-friendly wines were a hit at our table. Highly recommended. Reservations a must.
Great food and staff. It's a lovely place, it might need reservations depending on the day. Tapas and desserts are very tasty and special.
Nice and authentic Spanish restaurant in the heart of Galway.
Tasty tapas to share among the table, good desserts and good pricing. Recommended
Amazing restaurant, nice decoration. The staff is adorable and the tapas / plates are perfectly done. Very tasty and correct prices. Large wine menu .
Amazing food in a tapas format. Beautifully decorated to create an intimate environment for a date with your loved one. The staff are also friendly and attentive.
Most fantastic evening here last night for a not to serious 'book club' gang of gals down from Dublin-food, atmosphere, craic & service top notch. The variety on the menu superb, the flavours outstanding and staff couldn't have been more helpful. Still dreaming of the fennel/kale/hazelnut Tapas. Second time here and getting even better. Can't wait to return.
