Bodega in St. Albert

Shared a wonderful array of tapas and wine last evening! Our server Griffin was amazing! Will definitely be back.

Great experience! Was here with a group of 6. Food was great, service was great. Definitely deserve another visit. Thanks!

Amazing food. Would definitely go back.

went for tapas ended up at happy hour: half price cocktails & beer tried: fried sardines-yes bone marrow-not for me, I personally dont like cumin that much portuguese bread with duck mousse-yes!!! fried artichokes-not bad boar cheeks-very tender had a bodega sour cocktail-yummy old fashioned-delish with a Spanish flair great place in St AB to feel cozy & have a nice drink with some fun food

Always amazing food, its like stepping into a bodega in Spain or Tenerife.

Menu Portugal delicious!

A very nice little hidden gem . From start to finish we enjoyed our experience here . Highly recommend !

Superb food and Service

Cozy restaurant with tasty food and drinks

The food and service was incredible! Our server, Dan, made great recommendations and really took care of us. Would make a great date/ or work event spot!

We go here Saturday afternoons for a bite. So convenient, delicious, and service is wonderful. Cheese boards, charcuterie boards, seafood delicacies, anything chosen will be amazing! Sangria was fantastic. Food

Excellent selections of tapas. Wonderful staff. Dietary restrictions: Several gluten free options Food : 5/5 |

This is a fine establishment for in-person eatery, however, I would not test my luck again ordering for delivery. This situation with this restaurant has happened before in the past but this time, I was annoyed with how things played out. Despite being very busy, the restaurant remains open for delivery and after placing my order, it was immediately cancelled. The restaurant ceased services on my delivery app right after cancelling and I assumed that they must be busy, so I take my refund and move on. However, after checking the the restaurant again out of curiosity, since it was still registered as available on the app, it was once again OPEN for delivery. I decided to call the restaurant itself as I wanted to know if I was able to re-place my order, since I was craving this joint, and an employee answered the phone, proceeded to listen to and then ignore my question and hung up without answering. When I called back, I was promptly directed to the restaurants voicemail, and mind you, I was polite when asking my question as Ive worked in retail long enough to know that being rude to the staff will get you nowhere. I may be ordering for delivery, but Id like to assume my patronage is just as important considering Im still paying $50 for a moderately proportioned dinner and an overpriced appetizer as I would if I were at the restaurant in-person. Ive heard of this place being a little high-end but not like this. The food may be good, but not enough for me risk ordering for delivery again. Call ahead and check before ordering.

We really enjoyed our date night at Bodega. The tapas Thursday special is awesome. We had 8 different tapas and a bottle of wine. Everything was yummy. Our server, Yasmine was fantastic. She is from Portugal and we enjoyed talking to her. She was very attentive and sweet. For selfish reasons I hope this restaurant doesn t become too popular as it s one of our favourites in St Albert

An absolutely outstanding experience. Beautiful, intriguing decor in an upscale casual atmosphere. Extensive and appealing menu offerings with a variety of proteins accompanied by fresh and perfectly flavored sauces. Exceptional quality. The service was impeccable. Wait staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. The manager stopped by our table to follow-up but we wanted for nothing because our server was so fantastic. We will most definitely return. Highly recommended.

My husband and I had a late afternoon wine and charcuterie lunch here recently and it was outstanding.

We enjoyed our experience there ! Loved the mushroom risotto. Food

Excellent eats. Bartender was humorous, friendly, absolutely professional. The manager, (I think), came up to us, asked how things were, just to check in. The Paella was amazing! Will leave feeling fat and happy again another time.

Great night, great food and Bailey our server was phenomenal!!

Highly recommended! If youre looking for good flavors, this is the place to go!

Service, food, and the ambiance of this restaurant is top notch! We ll surely comeback!

Great little place for tapas.

Great for a date night!!!

1st time at Bodega. We were gifted a GC for our birthdays and the food and atmosphere was amazing. Merci a Dan pour excellent service & les filles. Highly recommend.

Amazing food, everything we ordered tasted great. Our server Yasmin/ Jasmin was so great. She was genuinely enthusiastic about recommending the food. Very pleasant and made our dining experience more enjoyable. Thank you! Food : 5/5

Absolutely phenomenal experience! Food was exceptional! Wine was perfect! Amy was a fantastic server, the dining room had a great ambience, and the manager was hovering at just the perfect distance! Already making new reservations!

I loved the service by Amy, which was excellent the drinks and the food was delicious

My partner and I went yesterday night for a little date dinner. We got the 8 for $88 (includes a bottle of wine; we opted for the sauv blanc). The whole experience was amazing, the food was spectacular, the service wonderful. My favorite was the meat skewers and my partner loved the bacon wrapped dates. We both adored the shrimp! I am sure we will be back.

My wife and I come here often for our date nights. The atmosphere is lovely. We can carry on a conversation while still enjoying the dimmed background music. The food as always stands out and is absolutely delicious. They keep the menu changing with new items but the classics still remain. Service is incredible. Kind, respectful and always making sure we are enjoying the food and drinks. Special thanks to Eugenio the general manager. Came over to us multiple times throughout our dinner to check on us and spent a lot of time chatting with us at the end of our night. Special family type vibes from him and the team. Highly recommend.

My absolute fave place to dine in the city. The food and drinks are a cut above the rest, the atmosphere is aesthetically pleasing and comfortable, and the service is always excellent. The quality comes with a price tag, but when you factor in you re going for the experience and the exceptional quality, it s worth every penny.

Great energy. Perfect date night spot.

Excellent meal and service! Had an amazing evening with good friends. Thank you!

A disappointing experience at Bodega St. Albert. We went for the 8 items and a bottle of wine for $88 as it is such a great deal. When we looked at the menu we noticed an item on the 8 for $88 that I could not eat due to my tree nut allergy. We asked our server if there was any way we could get another item and she talked to the manager who told her no. The manager then approached our table to tell us again that there is nothing they can do because the items were prepped in the morning. The solution they provided was to tell us that my wife can just eat the dish or they could bring us 7 items for $88. I had higher expectations of the management of such a highly recommended restaurant. On a positive note, the food was good. Dietary restrictions: Make sure to call ahead about the 8 for $88 deal if you have dietary restrictions as they make no acceptions for allergies.

We ate at the bar they were super accomadating with my four year old. Staff were awesome.

Love this place!!!

My partner is crazy for the croquettes! I myself love everything on the menu!

It was great!! Lots of options. Will be back!!

A Delicious Dinner Arranged to take ourselves out for a Post Valentines Day meal. We estimate it is our 5th time visiting St. Albert Bodega for a Dinner. Food and service were great and we will make an effort to return at another time. Food

Arrived at 535 requesting a table for two. When asked if I had a reservation, I replied no. Only two tables currently dining at this time. The gentleman said he didnt know if he could accommodate me as everyone comes for 6 and 630. I was then asked how long I would take to dine. I was a little puzzled as i come here all the time and have never been asked that question or asked to rush my meal. Replied were here for the 8 for 88. He walked me over to a table for two then proceeded to tell me I had to be done in one hour! At that point, i felt unwelcome, and stated that. I was then offered the bar only. Why would you reserve the entire restaurant and not save any tables for walk ins?? Again, only 6 individuals currently dining at this point. After a long day, you come to this establishment to enjoy the food and unwind. Not to be told to leave in one hour as they took too many reservations.

The paella was a sad excuse for paella.It was half the size we previously received with none of the quality. The squid was tougher than rubber, the combination tomato not saffron, and tasteless.... the pathetic portion for four people not explained upon ordering by the waitress...in spite of there being four of us obviously sharing. The virgin Caesar was tasty but greedily overpriced. The whole experience reinforces the belief that restaurants use special occasions to bilk their clients out of money for substandard service and quality. It will be a long while before we will return, if ever...and we will be more vocal with our disappointment the next time.

One of the best restaurants in St Albert..! Don t let the dingy strip-mall dissuade you from this gem. Once inside you will be transported to another world. Outstanding fare in a finely curated tapas extravaganza we will be back again and again..! Food

Delicious options for anyone. Big portions, could not finish. Food

We have come to bodega is st albert a few times, and each time the food and service is outstanding. There is no such thing as a disappointing evening or dish at bodega.

Love going to this restaurant. The food is so mouth-watering. The different sauces they come up with to pair different Tapas and meals with are exquisite. One of my absolute favorite restaurants to go to. The servers and bartenders are all so amazing and recommend which wine pairs best with with what dish. Always feel happy in this environment and leave with a full stomach and a huge smile on my face. Until next time!!

If I could leave a higher review for all the staff and the chefs at Bodega, I would!! We were so nervous to bring in our toddler as we were doing a farewell dinner for my SIL, but the General Manager was SO kind and understanding, even plating us with a small little plate of bread & oranges for our little guy. I was really anxious dining with a toddler for the first time in awhile but our server and the general manager made our night with how kind and generous they were. Not to mention the food was AMAZING. We were blown away. They deserve all the praise !! Thank you for making our night super special <3 we will definitely be back!

Gem of a spot in St Albert. All the dishes were amazing and top notch service

The meat platter was amazing and you need to get the bacon wrapped dates

Great staff, fantastic food.

I, no joke, have never had such delicious food. The boar cheek melted in my mouth, and the calamari was to die for. I dont drink, but the server whipped me up a delicious mocktail. All the other servers were fantastic and made my first time here exceptional. You are doing yourself a disservice if you dont dine here at least once.

Best restaurant and atmosphere, and the food NEVER disappoints.

Wow is all I can say. Service was excellent, food was superb.

Service & food were fantastic! Had such a great first time experience here. It was hard to decide what to eat, with all the delicious choices on the menu. One of the best of the night was the bacon wrapped, cheese stuffed dates. Only caution is they dont take reservations. Get there early, or be prepared to wait. But well worth the wait!

My wife and I absolutely love this place! The food is great, the atmosphere is amazing, the bartenders make some of the best drinks around. But this review is a special shout out for the ever so caring and kind guy with the toque. The distance you go to make sure my wife and I are well taken care of every time is very noticeable :)

Went on a Thursday evening and it was PACKED! Very glad we made a reservation! The food and service was amazing, but because its a smaller space it was quite loud with all the conversations going on. Will definitely go back though.

I had heard many different sources tell me about how good this place was. I am always a little hesitant about eating out, but from the first moment we entered the BODEGA the staff never let us down. They guided us from entry, to the bar, to our reservation table. Every moment in the experience was positively thought out. The Food was carefully crafted and did not disappoint. Every bite was delicious. The atmosphere was warm and comforting. The experience transports the guest into a beautifully crafted spanish environment which is uniquely BODEGA. This restaurant should be on everybodys must visit lists.

Always amazing food and service. Highly recommended. My GF and I have been going for years.

The staff treat you like royalty, always welcoming and attentive to every customer.

Everything here is amazing! Great atmosphere, amazing service, and excellent menu options. Its definitely a good place for dinner. Prices are a little on the higher end, but the experience is great, so its worth it!

Soooo good, I loved it. Definitely Ill come back!!!!

I was here the other night for dinner. For anyone who deals with gluten issues- its the place to go. Our server was extremely on top of things, and the atmosphere is beautiful. I will definitely be returning!

The meat sweats were worth it.

Fantastic food, very knowledgeable staff. Great experience

Like this place. Definitely, we will come back to try other menus and drinks.

Place is awsome people to food to cocktail swing by is a must

Everything about Bodega was 5 star. Food, service, and atmosphere were top notch. Prices were as expected for what youre getting. Cant wait to go back!

First time going there with a group of friends. The food was amazing, and our server was even better. I highly recommend this place for a night out. Make sure to check their daily specials.

Made a reservation for 5 for a special occasion, but there ended up being 8 of us. Even though it was super busy the staff accommodated our larger group after a bit of a wait for another table to leave which we were really thankful for. Our server was AMAZING, we really enjoyed her (she was super funny and personable) and the food was great. Would go back again!

If I could give 10 stars I would.. what an experience! One of the best foods Ive ever had! The mussels, the prawns, the tuna salad, one dish better than the other. And the service? Jack our waiter was so awesome, spontaneous, funny, respectful, kind, we also had other waiters helping us and they were all amazing people, we actually asked to see the manager to congratulate him about the team! Check put the specials everyday, they are really worth it to try! I will come back to Bodega again very soon!

It was small and very loud but great food.

So good! I loved the periperi chicken and the lobster risotto was perfection! Bartender will literally make any drink you want, dont be restricted to what is on the drink menu (would not recommend the marguerita Diablo)

Decent food, but be careful of what dessert you order. Ours was old, stale and dry, like it had been bought from somewhere else and not made in house. Very disappointing especially at the price point.

Went in during happy hour, only time it will not be packed. Food the great - those mushroom-risotto balls were AMAZING! Our server was great!

This was SO good! Blown away with each dish. Highly recommend

Do yourself a favour and don t eat here. My girlfriend and I got the worst food poisoning. I can t even get anyone to call me back and if you look at the health inspectors last report you won t want to eat here either. We went with the reviews and paid a heavy price.

This is a favourite spot for me. The selection of food is incredible! have been many times and always find something new to try! My favorites are the mushroom risotto and the piri piri chicken. I love that I am always educated on my wine selections as the staff is so knowledgeable. Great atmosphere and a perfect night for any occasion! I highly recommend!

The food was so good!! We had an amazing experience, clean spot to be at.

Went with friends, was super clean, the food was amazing and the service was incredible!

If you want a sure thing, visit Bodega St. Albert. As regulars, we are always beyond happy with our visit. Everything the food, drinks, service, atmosphere is top notch! Best seafood in the city and aside from the great wine selection, the servers always recommend a perfect pairing.

All I can say, is that this restaurant does everything right. The drinks were fabulous, all of the tapas that we had from the Shrimp, oysters, scallops, empanaditas, were just the perfect thing to take your mind off of everything and put you on another continent.

Delicious food

The food here is amazing. I will be back for more.

Sangria

Would have never thought about this place from driving by. Friends took us there. Amazing. Definitely a hidden gem.

Food is excellent and the staff are so kind. I cannot wait to come back to try more of the menu.

Food was amazing and had a real intimate fell to the place. Service was awesome. Will be back.

The best service we ve had in such a long time! The nicest people and the food was to die for! They went above and and beyond and made sure our visit was the best it could be! Thankyou!

Great food. Much bigger portions than I was expecting. Excellent wine selection. Food : 5/5

Perfect for a date night if you want to splurge. The portions are perfect for sharing. The food is absolutely delicious. You can t go wrong with any choice. Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options. It s mainly Mediterranean dishes, but there are plenty of veg based dishes. Parking: Lots of parking, especially in the evening when other businesses close.

Amazingly authentic and flavourful Tapas and Spanish cuisine. Service was fast and friendly, would definitely visit again.

Tried the 8 for $88 Tapas on recommendation, everything was cooked perfectly and flavors were nice, hubby and i each had some personal favorites and choices we did not like, but it was still a fun experience. My favorites were the calamari and bacon wrapped dates and he enjoyed the empinadillas and bruschetta

Food was amazing! Service was top notch ! Can t wait to visit again

Cannot say enough about this restaurant, every dish was so delicious. Our waitress, Chelsa, was so friendly and the service was great. Tremendous experience all the way through. 10/10!

Great Tapas, the charcuterie is amazing, and the drinks are delectable. Service is on point and comforting, and with the upbeat and artistic atmosphere, the experience is 5 stars.

First time trying Bodega in St Albert. Quaint friendly atmosphere. Vast food menu with a really good selection even for picky eaters. Service was excellent and food was outstanding. That place fired on all cylinders last night and it will be one of my now go to places for an evening out. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu. I am usually not a review writer unless it surpasses or fails all expectations. This place hit it out of the park. We tried the lobster risotto, grilled octopus and wild boar cheeks. Our entire meal was really good but I would highly recommend trying the lobster risotto and wild boar cheeks.

I was more than pleased with the friendly service and hospitality that was extended to us on a very short notice-extremely busy Friday night! The Bodega staff allowed us to have a superb dining experience on their patio on short notice and catered to all our requests and patiently waited on us. Our server and his team were on the ball, super friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel like we were at home! He even brought out a speaker system and let us enjoy some calming music to pair with the gorgeous sunset and delicacies that were presented before us! We ate like kings and thoroughly enjoyed the menu and all the recommendations! This was my first dining experience at Bodega St.Albert...but it most definitely wont be my last! Im looking forward to coming back here in the very near future...HIGHLY RECOMMEND them, loved the complete experience we were given!!

Griffen and Jack were the best bartenders I ve ever had ever. Super personable and helpful and awesome

Jack, Dan and Griffen were so friendly and provided fantastic service!!! 10/10 experience

My wife and I arrived from Winnipeg and thought we d try the Bodega Tapas bar as the menu sounded very intriguing (boar cheeks). Tammy was unsure about trying the bacon wrapped figs, so I tried them first .she fought me for the last one! AMAZING! The wild boar cheeks were awesome! We ordered the charcuterie and cheese board - outstanding! Five stars hardly covers it! Parking: I had a trailer with quad and parked quite close to the restaurant

Great night out. Had mostly appetizers and of course wine. Food was fantastic, bacon wrapped dates are a must.

Went for a group girlfriends Birthday, we all had something different so got to try many of the dishes. The food was great and so was the service.

Food was wonderful, waitress was also great. We had a reservation as 4 adults and 2 children (in the notes), which host Chris confirmed when we walked in. We were sat at a table, then asked to move (very politely which was totally fine) for a larger group, which we did. Then when the rest of our party arrived (the fourth adult with the second kid- a newborn in a carseat), Chris got extremely aggressive, hostile and rude telling us that if we didnt make the table work he would have to ask us to leave. Which made no sense because if he couldnt accommodate us he should have let us know either ahead of time, or when we walked in, or when we were asked to move to a smaller table? And also a lap toddler and a carseat on the bench didnt take any additional space. He honestly ruined our entire night. I was never treated so poorly. So caution for those with children, either eat somewhere else or count your carseat floor newborn as an adult in your reservation.

Made a reso online for four adults and in the notes added that we had two children, aged 2 and 3months. The host Chris was really rude when he realized we had 4 adults + 2 children.. even though one was on a bench in car seat and the second sat on parents lap. Even said that he would need us to leave unless we made the table work. He alone ruined an otherwise nice experience. Our servers were very nice in comparison. For the price of dishes, I expect more from the front end host.

I love this place. We are big foodies and dine out often so we know good food/atmosphere/service when we see it. Always impressed with this place all around and has become one of our favourite restaurants.

Amazing food, atmosphere, and service as always.

I met up with 5 friends for a birthday gathering. I got there early and the manager kindly accommodated me, even though they were busy. It is a small awkward space, reminiscent of New York or other large cities, but I prefer a little more breathing room. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, but everything was pricey. A 6oz glass of wine (smallest size) was between $16-$24, which is outrageous as far as I m concerned. I opted for coffee, which was excellent. It could be me, but food prices are too crazy and I ended up spending $60 for one person. I will go back once food prices settle down a bit.

First time trying Bodega! Girls night out was met with great service and great food.

Best service ever! Our bartender giffen was amazing!

I loved this place. I cant wait to go back!

Delicious food. We just ordered a few tapas. And loved every bite.

Met up here for dinner with friends and had an amazing time. The food was so good and the service was great!! Every dish was lovely, I cant even pick a favorite. We will definitely be going back. The music was a bit loud would be my only thing to say that they could improve on.

Tapas!!! A wine list thats always exceptional, and some of the best staff around.

Great food, service, and atmosphere! The tapas here was better than when I was in Spain!

Kid-friendliness: Definitely an adult restaurant. Dont bring kids here. Food

Amazing experience front to back, from the hostess greeting us, to the bartender jack, and even the manager who dropped off our food. We had the 8 for 88 deal which I was extremely impressed with not only the deal but the quality of the food. The food is exquisite. Theres really no other way to put it. Must try in st albert.

Had a really bad customer service experience and wont be back. My friend with me who lives in the area said they didnt think theyd be back either based on the way things unfolded. Unfortunate because we were excited to try this place but the gentleman with the toque could learn a thing or two about customer service.

Excellent delicious food and always great service !

Excellence.

Great service, exceptional staff and the food is top shelf well done! And thank you for the experience

I love Bodega. It s the best restaurant in St Albert without a doubt. The food is so delicious and well presented. The tapas and small plates are the type of food you would never prepare yourself. They are prepared with exceptional skill and so tasty. I think we have tried just about everything on the menu and loved every single dish. The wine selection is fantastic though not huge. I always order a bottle of wine from the list on the blackboard and pick something new that I ve never tried before. I m never disappointed. They have a limited but great selection of wines that always impresses me. Their wines compliment the food so well too. The atmosphere is friendly with a happy upbeat vibe including good music. The staff are attentive and well trained. We go to Bodega at least once a month because it s fun and delicious.

Randomly stopped in for a drink and appetizer. The staff were welcoming and talented. I LOVE the food ( always top notch, all the staff and management make it a great experience. Highly recommend making a reservation or stopping by. I also recommend pick up. No complaints.

Love this place! Sabor and Bodega are some of my favourite places!

Good food, but just a bit pricey.

All Bodega locations are my favourite, I have zero complaints. If you love a nice intimate settings with yummy food and amazing drinks. This is the spot to be. Thank you to my brother for recommending this place. They even let you bottle your wine to go can we say Heaven !!!!! Lol don t wait any longer go to Bodega !!!! - they are packed by time they are open so don t go late unless you want to wait !

An excellent dining experience. All points of the dinner are exceptional. Service, atmosphere, food. Tip top. Cant say much more than its a great place to eat.

Just a like Sabor downtown, slightly smaller menu but everything was spot on.

Live in Stalbert not sure why it took us so long to visit great experience customer service was above and beyond specially from a well knowledge bar tender!!! Will be back for sure

The 8 for $80 deal on Thursday is fantastic and delicious. 8 appetizers and a bottle of wine. Its Tough to beat

Service was amazing and food was superb.

Just try we this out. Its been on my list since they popped up. I CANT SAY ENOUGH! Food was delicious, the combo we had was only $60 bucks for two people including a bottle of wine. I see some reviews people find that expensive but maybe there just dinning alone and not doing tapas!!! Anyways, great food. Great service! I for one cant wait to go back and take some photos for all of you to enjoy!!

The food at Bodega St. Albert is generally consistent with the food at the other locations in Edmonton, the atmosphere is definitely subpar in comparison to the downtown and Highlands location. I ordered a multitude of dishes including; Piri Piri Prawns: They are good you only get three so keep that in mind when ordering if you are a couple. Boar Cheeks: Good, the meat is super soft and moist however I thought they were a bit over salted. Egg Plant Curry: To me this isn t worth the extra money it had a overbearing turmeric taste. Bruschetta: Pretty standard taste, nothing out of the ordinary. The service however was a bit to be desired. One of the people we were dining with was completely forgotten about from their appetizer to their main course. The rest of the party was already done their meals and she had not gotten anything. When the person had asked the wait staff about it they were told it was a Tapas restaurant and it wasnt coursed. What happened in actuality was the order was never rung in, I found it arrogant of the wait staff not to accept responsibility and instead try to blame the customer. Overall going to a restaurant is meant to be an experience, both food and service and when one of those things are lacking then it drives down the quality. The food is good at Bodega St. Albert, the service shouldnt feel like a chore.

Bodega St. Albert has a very relaxed & warm dinning room. The servers were professional & friendly. The food is fantastic with very unique flavors!!

Amazing

Terrible service and server. First lets start off with a group of 5 who have never been there, ask about the 8 for 80 deal. Ask the server how many it will feed she says depends on how hungry we are...we are at the restaurant at dinner time. Says it will feed 5. Its for 2 people max.... server then says well if its not enough just order another or more food. so dont ask the server for ideas of portion size as shes clueless. Could not get water refilled and the server laughed when she comes back and asks if we want anything else, as we had ordered a bottle of wine 20 minutes ago. Laughed in our faces then makes a terrible joke. Food was meh and service terrible. Also way overpriced for the serving size. This group will not return.

Had a wonderful evening enjoying the lobster risotto, seared scallops, piri piri prawns and cheesecake. Service was top notch!

Our friends are regulars here and took us while we visited town. Service was incredible, Jack and Hunter were excellent servers, were very knowledgeable with the menu and attentive to the table removing plates and filling up water etc even while it was fairly busy. Dan made some of the best drinks Ive ever had and is an amazing bartender. We ordered the seafood platter, meat and cheese board and Brussel sprouts and pork belly. All of the food was amazing and the seafood impressed the East Coasters we were with. Would definitely reccomend going here and we will for sure be back.

We felt like we were in Spain again as we sampled the delicious authentic Spanish food at the Bodega. We tried the 8 tapas and bottle of wine for $80. They offered 3 white wines and 3 reds in the deal. It is plenty of food for two. We added some bread and curry eggplant spread.

Had the pleasure of coming here twice for different occasions in the past week. Absolutely wonderful experience! The food is delicious and great portions, more than I was expecting and definitely better portions than at other tapas places Ive been too. My server on both occasions was Michelle, who is incredibly knowledgeable about the different dishes and wines. Our other server, who I think may have been the owner, was fantastic and incredibly gracious, even after our friend who made the reservation mistook the closing time and he allowed us to stay past closing time to finish our meal. Wonderful place, so glad to see theyve been able to survive the pandemic.

Amazing cocktails, tapas, and atmosphere. Can t wait to go again!

Amazing food and excellent customer service. The staff was all amazing ! If I lived in Edmonton this would be a regular spot for me. Thanks Cassie for taking us !

Good food and service was above & beyond.

Delicious food and drinks with exceptional service

delicious food!!! beautiful live music!!! and our waiter dan was very nice!!

We have been to the Highlands location and enjoyed it. Tried the St Albert location last night and was just blown away. The ombiance was much better, the food and value outstanding but the service provided by O. was another level. Honestly the best dining experience of my life. Cant wait to go again !

Great food and great service!

My wife and I had a date night here recently and the food and drinks were fantastic the service was good. Some small things we thought could be improved, we ordered the bread plate and asked for butter thought it would be standard and they provided the prepackaged chilled butter, and it was hard as a rock. I felt bad trying to spread the butter on the beautiful bread they just served. It made the classy place seem a bit cheap when they could just buy a brick of butter and get a small scoop and bring it to room temp for the service, would probably be less money. For all the same reasons they provided paper napkins instead of cloth serviette. Made us feel half at a classy establishment and and half at a fast food restaurant. Pretty sure they are aiming for the higher end establishment based on the prices. Overall though we would go back.

Our favourite neighbourhood spot since being in St. Albert. What sets Bodega apart from anywhere else is a balance of perfect bites, and exemplary service. The staff is as excellent as the menu, and thats saying a lot. The wine list is always a pleasure, but even without it wed still be there for the piri-piri calamari, and bacon wrapped dates bestowed by mythical Gods! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars.

Absolutely astonishing

Great food and great live music

Literally amazing. Food and drinks are to die for. The beer is excellent, and I would recommend getting the risotto and paella. Everything from the drinks to dessert is chef kisses. The waiter which i did it gave the chance to get his name was AMAZING. It gives the impressions that he was also the manger but beside the point, his customer service was impeccable. I wish I could give him and the restaurant more than 5 stars. Would recommend 10/10.

Love this place, food is excellent and like the ambiance of the place

First time here and Im happy with food, drinks and service, will be back again, thank you!

Absolutely amazing ;) got to go here Dietary restrictions: Great selections for all dietary restrictions :)

Food was amazing but the ambiance didnt seem to match my expectations for a Sabor related restaurant. So if you concerned only with food taste, then perfect place 4.5/5, but if atmosphere and the experience are equally important then you should consider this a 3.5/5. But food was awesome... Pricing is fair/typical.

Simply awesome from the waitress to the food presentatio, and the food itself. Not your run of the mill resturant but a true dining experience the palella was top notch, the bacon wrapped dates are to die for. Meat and cheese sampler delicous, calamari could not be better. Will return for more, one of the best places to dine in St. Albert

Second time here - absolutely amazing service. Hunter one of the servers was very polite, friendly and managed to get me take out. :) Was then given a wine sample by a very friendly (I assume server?) that would pair well with my order. Will be a regular customer for sure!

Most amazing staff and atmosphere!! Michelle is the most helpful and knowledgeable waitress!

Best dining experience of my life. We arrived at 6:30pm on a Friday and were seated immediately. Water, menus, plates and cutlery followed PROMPTLY. We ordered the Garlic Prawns, Bacon Wrapped Dates, Ricotta-Stuffed Piquillo Peppers, CAB Striploin, Bruschetta, Brussel Sprouts, Desserts and to pair with all of that, a bottle of sparkling white wine. Everything was fresh, hot, flavourful but most of all - delicious!!!! Beautiful location, welcoming atmosphere and the manager and waitress were top notch. Highly recommend!!!

Great variety of dishes - we ordered an assortment and shared. Service was awesome

Bodega (St. Albert) graciously hosted my sisters wedding reception recently; it was incredible. I remember arriving at the restaurant an hour into the reception, and the vibe was set brilliantly with excellent cocktails and the best charcuterie Ive ever had. The dinner that followed was undoubtedly the best dinner at a wedding reception that Ive experienced; from the service to the food, everything was perfect. Each time a new dish arrived, it seemed like every table got it at the same time, with nobody left waiting. All of the guests at the wedding that I knew have been talking about this meal for the weeks that have followed. Most importantly, Ill never forget how happy my sister was that night. O and his team set the bar so high, and it turns out, this was their first time hosting a wedding reception. Unreal. If you are ever in the area and looking to go out for a nice meal, you have to go here.

Amazing food and great service!!!

Awesome food and great service. Well worth the price

What an amazing restaurant in St Albert. Great place for wine and tapas with friends and/or family. Note that: Groups of four or more will only be seated upon arrival of all guests. This is straight off the St Albert Bodega website. The service is great and the food is even better. If you re looking for a nice place to eat with a group of people in St. Albert, this is the place for you. The decor on the walls is unique and fun to look at while you enjoy your drinks and food. The bruschetta is to die for.

The food here is fantastic especially if youre a seafood lover. Its unfortunate that reservations are not taken for parties less than 6, but its still worth going to and there are other locations located in the city. Highly recommended.

Food was spectacular. The Bruscheta was the best. Its on the Pricier side, even for St. Albert. But absolutely worth if. Reservations HIGHLY recommended.

This place is cozy, not crazy expensive, and so delicious! This was our 2nd time there and wow it just blew us away again. We ordered the surf n turf platter and each had 2 alcoholic drinks and our bill was around $120. Amazing! Cant wait to come again!

Great food. Awesome staff!

Oh my gosh!! Everything about this place was perfect, such an amazing balance of class and elegance with comfort and relaxation. You don t need to wear a suit or dress but if you want to you re not out of place. The staff is genuinely friendly and knowledgeable, they explain the menu so well you have a hard time picking what to eat. Their house wine was refreshing and borderline dangerous with how quickly it can go down. From apps to mains everything was amazing, you can tell the food is prepared with love and the flavours are incredible. We would highly recommend The Bodega in St Albert to anyone and everyone.

Service was pleasant and efficient. The music was too loud and detracted from the ambiance as it wasnt consistent with the Spanish theme (hip-hop and rap, really?). The food we ordered was fresh and nicely presented. We really enjoyed most of what we ordered, but the chef was very heavy-handed with the salt. We couldnt finish our mushroom risotto and Spanish meatballs because they were SO salty. It would be helpful if the menu accurately reflected the ingredients for people with allergies or strong preferences. For example, the tomato salad contains red onions, and other dishes we ordered are covered in green onions for some reason. They added nothing to the presentation or flavour. We may or may not give this place another try. Dietary restrictions: You need to ask about allergens because the main ingredients in the dishes are not listed on the menu, so youre in for a surprise if you dont.

This is our second time here and it was just as good as the first. The food is fantastic, the servers helpful and engaging. My wife and I shared a number of small plates (the sardines are wonderful) and their seafood paella. Portions are generous, we had enough left over to have lunch the next day!

Very tasty, quality made food. Beautiful decor and romantic classy atmosphere.

Small dishes that are very good great experience

I will start with the punch line: We are so fortunate to have Bodega in St Albert. Or anywhere for that matter. This is one of the best restaurants we have ever been to. I think we have been maybe 10 times and it is nowhere near enough. We have never felt so delighted to be at a restaurant and we cannot get enough. The ambiance, the food, the service is just unbeatable. There is a gentleman named Olofee who is not only extremely helpful and pleasant, he is also a very high level host and server. He knows his food and wine and makes the experience speical. We cannot recommend Bodega in St Albert enough. See you soon Olofee!

Friday night and the Chef at Bodega never disappoints. Every dish from start to finish was mouth watering, if you have never been, well you just gotta eat here. Flavours that compare to some of the best restaurants in New Orleans.

No barriers between tables, zero room to social distance (I was basically shoulder to shoulder with the table beside me) and best part is when I showed my vaccine passport, my vaccines were folded down so the employee waved me in without looking or verifying my ID. Also they dont scan QR codes. Food was ok.

Absolutely love this restaurant! Being Celiac can be challenging but the staff were super knowledgeable - swapped baguette for gluten free crackers and kept everything separate. The food was amazing, the wine and beverages perfect. Will definitely go back!

Bodega St. Albert feels like home to my husband and me. Dan and O. always greet us by name and have our fave bottle of wine, beer, and/or cocktail ready to go. The atmosphere is so warm and cozy, and the food continues to blow our minds as we make our way through the menu. I ve never been a fan of pâté before, and cannot get enough of their Chicken + Smoked Duck pâté since I first tried it a few months ago. A few other fave menu items are the Braised Boar Cheeks, Piri Piri Prawns, and Seared Ahi Tuna Salad. My friends like to make fun of me because I m here multiple times a week, but when the food is this great, the staff is this friendly, and the service is top-notch, why wouldn t I be???

Fabulous evening here with girlfriends. Food and service exceeded my expectations. Bartender went out of his way to craft a special martini for me using flavours I really enjoy. Our waitress was so helpful with suggesting menu items. Her friendliness and sense of humour contributed to a fun evening. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting to experience fine food and great service.

Wow.. hidden gem.. food was awesome.. drinks too, they can make something that wasnt on there list, had orange mojitos-yummy... The stuff was amazing... Definitely would go back there again...

Me and my wife came here for her 30th birthday. Great food with a great ambiance. A ton of selection if you are looking for seafood and a good amount of selection otherwise. Service was superb and we will definately be coming back here soon.
