After a hectic week of starting work, settling in, and
exploring the city I’ll call home for the summer, Pam, Josh and I decided to
venture over to Georgetown for a relaxing and delicious meal.
Bodega, located at 3116 M St NW in Georgetown, was just what
we were looking for. Bodega offers a Spanish tapas menu, so come prepared to
try a lot of small plates and a variety of flavors. I’ve always been a fan of
tapas-style restaurants and find that it’s the best kind of restaurant to go to
with a group of friends because you get to try many different kinds of dishes.
Suitable for the pickiest and the most adventurous of
eaters, Bodega is worth the trip into Georgetown (besides, who doesn’t love
hanging out by the Georgetown Harbour on a warm summer night?)
Here’s how we did Bodega:
Pan con Tomate y
Queso Manchego. Catalonian Tomato
Bread with Manchego.
Calamares Frito con
Ali-Oil. Fried Calamari with Ali-Oli
Brocheta de Pollo al
Ajillo con Salsa Picante de Pimiento. Grilled
Chicken Skewer Served with a Spicy Pepper Emuslion Sauce.
Pimientos del
Piquillo Rellenos de Costilla de Buey. Piquillo
Peppers Stuffed with Braised Beef Short Ribs & Served Au Jus.
Cost? Most tapas
dishes range from $8-9 dollars. For a group of 3, I’d advise getting 4-5 tapas
if you want a full dinner. Either way, Bodega is extremely reasonable for the
quality of the food.
Atmosphere? Fun,
laid-back and young. A great place to go with a large group or for a fun summer
date night. If you can, try to go for their outdoor seating to enjoy the warm
DC nights.
Best dish? A tie
between the Piqiuillo Peppers and Fried Calamari. If you’re in the mood for a
more classic dish, try the calamari. Light, crispy and melt-in-your-mouth
delicious, these calamari are a great dish. If you want something that’s rich
with flavor, go for the Piquillo Peppers. The acidity of the peppers contrasts
perfectly with the layers of flavors in the braised short ribs.
