This was a great restaurant with delicious food. I was on my own so I sat at one of the seats at the bar and the waitress was super friendly and helpful. Everything about the tapas was perfect!

Delicious! This was my first time visiting a Tapas restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. We ordered a couple of different dishes so we could try a variety of things and every flavour complimented the next. The pig cheeks were my favourite. The service was excellent and we left full and satisfied. This place is always full with customers and it’s really no wonder. Highly recommended.

I recently visited Bodega 18 in Truro and was absolutely impressed. As a Spanish native, I was pleasantly surprised by the authenticity and flavor of the food. Located just meters away from the cathedral in the city center, the restaurant offers a simple yet delicious menu. The calamari was cooked to perfection and truly delicious. It was my first time experiencing such authentic Spanish cuisine outside of Spain in the UK. Additionally, the portions are generous and offer good value for money. I highly recommend Bodega 18 to anyone looking for a genuine taste of Spain in Truro.

Absolutely lovely lunch at this great Tapas restaurant. Portions very generous and food extremely tasty. As others have said very hard to pick a favourite but the calamari and king prawns definitely deserve shout outs. Fabulous service as well, the waitresses were so friendly and very knowledgeable. We will be back thank you.
