  “We visited Falmouth in June 2026 and this place was a true highlight of a superb weekend. The food was exceptional, the service fun and friendly, the venue is exquisite. We hadn't booked but chanced it and struck lucky. We sat at the bar, had the various vegetarian tapas options and beers, loved it all and will be back again soon. The vibe is fun and friendly, the team front and back of house were helpful, tipped us to which dishes they were running low on so we could order them straight away if we wanted, made time to chat and just added to the all round great experience. If you're heading to Falmouth do check this place out.”

  “We had an excellent meal here whilst staying in Falmouth. The food was delicious and the service was superb, definitely the food highlight of the holiday! Would definitely recommend the braised carrots and meatballs, but it was all great.”

  “After 25km of walking (somewhere between “invigorating hike” and “questionable life decision”), we staggered into Bodega Eighteen fully prepared to eat anything that didn’t run away… and somehow ended up having one of the best meals we’ve had in ages. From the moment the door opened, the staff were on it — the kind of service that makes you feel like you’ve just arrived at a long-awaited reunion rather than limping in with tired legs and questionable posture. Attentive, genuinely warm, and perfectly timed (no small feat when we were eyeing the menu like it was survival rations). The food? Outstanding. Crab combos that disappeared faster than our energy levels, meatballs that could probably solve global conflicts, chorizo with just the right level of attitude, and patatas bravas that were absolutely not shared equally (purely accidental, of course). Add in a buzzing atmosphere, excellent wine (which may or may not have improved our walking stories), and you’ve got a place that turns “we need food immediately” into “we might just live here now.” If you arrive exhausted, you’ll leave restored — and possibly already planning your return.”

  “Very good tapas restaurant with a good choice of tapas and drinks. Great service from friendly staff. Would recommend booking if thinking of eating at popular times (although we didn't and they were just able to fit us in).”

  “Just returned from our 3rd visit to Bodega18 and it has been consistently excellent on every visit. The food has been wonderful. The honey aubergine dish and the truffle patatas are amongst our favourites. We have only tried the wine here but I can thoroughly recommend the Hinia Rioja - a perfect match for the croquetas! Service and atmosphere have been great every time. We will be back!”

  “It's a decent restaurant that serves some resonable dishes at reasonable prices. There were no dishes that I would say were particularly amazing but also none which I disliked. The best dish we had was the Pollock. The dressing and the meat on the soft shell crab were lovely but we ate the soft shell as they said it was edible and in hindsight I think it would be better without the shell. I would strongly recommend the raspberry mojito cocktail- it was excellent. The servers were very friendly and were happy to answer a couple of questions I had (about the cocktails and the music playlist). The restaurant is nicely decorated and has a good vibe- the excellent playlist definitely helps.”

  “Nice decor, friendly staff and above all some really tasty tapas. It isn't the cheapest place though. Be warned that the tapas does not come in even portions. The cheek was huge but the prawns were small. It would be handy to know before selecting.”

  “Phenomenal place. Booked to eat here while we were staying in Falmouth for my husbands birthday. We had a seat upstairs and it really felt special. The waiting staff were excellent, and very attentive. All were smiley and very approachable. We absolutely loved the dishes, choosing around 6 (which we found plenty) and a fine bottle of Pinor Noir. This has to be the best tapas we've eaten - everything was cooked to perfection. We especially loved the pigs cheeks! Thank you for a wonderful experience - we only wish we'd had room left to try some deserts!”
