Down Trounce Alley in Victoria, a snug tapas bar where the sherry list is one of the biggest in Canada.
Trounce Alley, Broad St
More infoBodega hides down historic Trounce Alley, a warm little room already humming with good conversation and running a sherry list that ranks among the largest in the country, which is not what you'd expect from a place this size. No reservations, so show up early, grab two bar stools, and let the staff walk you from a crisp fino to something nutty and amber you can't name. Go hungry.
No reservations, so duck down Trounce Alley early and grab two stools at the bar. Go hungry and let the staff walk you across the sherry list, start crisp with a fino, then chase something nutty and amber, while the shareable tapas keep arriving. It practically forces you to lean in over the small plates, which is the point; give it a flavour-packed ninety minutes, then spill back out into the alley for whatever downtown Victoria offers next.
