What a great find! Last thing I expected was really good Spanish food in Heidelberg, but we found…read moreit here after seeing other Yelp reviews. One note of warning: Google Maps driving directions from weststadt tried to send me down a stretch of Panoramastraße that had 2 poles in the middle of the road to make it pedestrian-only... Anyways. Finally got to Bodega to be greeted warmly, English menus provided once the waiter picked up that our German was less than ideal. I pondered switching over to speaking Spanish, but didn't want to confuse things any more. Had some nice German wine and a collection of tapas - everything was excellent. Didn't get to the main plates (I'm a sucker for tapas) so I can't comment on the offerings there. Dessert (I'm a sucker for that, too) was good - we got a flan and crema catalaña with a sweet sherry. Desserts were decent, but had room for improvement. Would happily go back and recommend this to anybody looking for a change from the great German food in town.

A rustic Spanish restaurant situated away from the center of Heidelberg, Bodega is a great gem. We…read morecame as a group of 10, so needless to say, reservation was needed (highly recommended even if you are in a group of 2). Service was great as we had at least 2 servers catering to our needs. We shared the tapas plate special for 2, and we like it a lot. A fair selection (consisting of artichokes, sardines, olives, seafood salad--love that!, etc), but be aware that it serves mostly as an appetizer as the portion per person was not so big. I had the "Sepia a la Plancha" (grilled squid), and to my surprise (usually I am skeptical about seafood quality in southern Germany), it was fresh and cooked nicely. My friend got the seafood special for 2 (consisting of several types of fish, shrimps, mussels, squid), and they also thought it was cooked nicely. Since our main dishes all come with salad, the servers just brought a huge bowl of salad for us to share. I'm a fan of family-styled dining, so that was a plus for me. Portions for the entree were big, so we had no room left for dessert (sigh...). The meal was on a pricier end, but for a special occasion, one cannot go wrong with Bodega. Tip: If you want to try their Paellas, you would need to make the order much earlier (either a day before or when they open for the day).

Came with a schlemmerblock on a Tuesday when Happy Hour cocktails are 4.50€. Actually ended up with Sangria (1L for 14,00€) and it was outstanding. We got the Meat Grill Plate for 2 - pork & beef skewers, chicken wings, breaded cheese, broiled potatoes, dips, and salads- it was both filling and really well flavored! The atmosphere was lovely on the inside- high ceilings, wood bar, and set tables. Little out door area too. The place was pretty full and seemed to be locals- It is in a residential area away from the tourist hot spots. A table of Spanish speakers sat near us and it looked like the owner/ manager came out and talked with them too. Last but not least- the service was really good- seemed to be only two servers running the whole place and they had a perfect balance of always being busy working and ready to assist you when you needed them. Really enjoyed the experience!

The weather was beautiful for sitting outside. I wish I had gotten our server's name because he was outstanding. Friendly, witty, and willing to help navigate the menu - he made our dining experience even better. We started with a couple of local wines that were amazing - a red and a rosé. Some bread and butter came to our table with our escargot starter and side salad. The bread and starter were delicious. Our snails were hot and garlicky with plenty of juice to sop up. The side salad was also very tasty and fresh. For our mains I went with the Schnitzelbank Platter and my lady went with the Pepper Schnitzel. My platter came with a local delicacy called saumagen, as well as roasted pork, sausage, roasted potatoes, and sauerkraut. The saumagen was the highlight for me. Our server was also excited we got it. It is a local offering consisting of various meats and other items wrapped up in a stomach and served as a loaf-style meat. The pepper schnitzel was also outstanding - the sauce was indeed peppery, but it didn't smother the schnitzel, which was breaded nicely and not dry, as some schnitzels can be. And after all that food, still, an apple strudel. This was so worth it. I don't even like sweets in the USA, but in Europe, they are something else. This was something else. We had a lot of great meals on our trip, but this was probably the best. Not just for the food, but for the overall experience, it's easy to see why this is the shining star in Heidelberg.
