At Bodega Christchurch, our menu is inspired by the authentic dining culture of Spain. Tapas dishes are small plates, perfect for sharing with friends or savouring solo. Typically, you’d order 2 or 3 plates per person for a full meal, but feel free to order as few or as many as you like. Just like in Spain, our tapas is served fresh from the kitchen as soon as it’s ready, so dishes will arrive at different times throughout your visit. Relax, enjoy the experience, and dive into the flavours as they come!
