Situated on Middle Street in Galway city, the award-winning Cava Bodega showcases the very best of Spanish food and wine, in particular the global phenomena of tapas. JP and Drigín first opened Cava in 2008 in Dominick Street and relocated to Middle Street in 2013. With the relocation came an opportunity to invigorate the restaurant. JP, working with local farmers and artisan producers, created a new focused menu taking the best from local and Iberian influences. Drigin designed a contemporary space with a strong focus on exposed and reclaimed materials to match the colourful and lively atmosphere of Cava. And in September 2013 Cava Bodega was born. Proven to be as popular as ever with the locals, tourists and food critics are also singing its praise. Cava Bodega is a great example of the international trend for good ethical casual food in a shared environment– with tapas, food is passed around the table, communal style, the dishes breed discussion and provide an alternative approach to eating. Cava was established in May 2008 by husband and wife team, JP McMahon and Drigín Gaffey in order to introduce Galway to the wealth and breath of Spanish cooking. Its Tapas menu is famous for its representation of many aspects of regional Spanish cooking. It showcases over 50 regional Spanish Tapas. Cava is committed to suppliering the local infrastructure in terms of food and wine and purchases it fish, meat, and vegetables locally. Cava is also equally famous for its drinks menu which is entirely devoted to Spanish wine, beer, cider, and sherry. It has over 100 varieties of Spanish wines and beers in its cellar from the inexpensive to the absolutely expensive. Cava holds awards from the Bridgestone and Georgina Campbell, and has been heralded as serving the “Best Tapas in Ireland” by the famous food and wine gourmand Tom Doorley.
