Boston｜A Date at La Bodega! A Forest-like Restaurant 🌳

La Bodega reminds me of a forest. Everyone else is sipping wine 🍷, while I can only drink water 💧 and pretend it’s poetic ✨. Around $50 per person—great for a date 👫, or just soaking in the atmosphere alone. Uruguayan-inspired creative cuisine; overall: 6.5/10 The meal’s undertones are: smoky 🔥, savory 🧂, earthy 🍂, dappled with tree shadows 🌲, and tinged with campfire. 🌿 Order Summary Wild Mushroom Tastes like damp fallen leaves, morning mist, and tree roots (in a good way) 🍄. Powerful, steady, very forest-like. Wood Grilled Pork Sausage My favorite of the night!!! It’s New England autumn personified 🍁. The sweetness of the pumpkin lifts the sausage just right 🎃—the kind of flavor you’d want to bite into wrapped in a scarf 🧣. Catch of the day Mushrooms + fish = not the best friends ❌. The fishiness got amplified; sorry, I just didn’t love it 😅. Wood Grilled Wild Octopus Hearty, filling, chewy and fragrant 🐙. I liked it, but because my expectations were high, I didn’t “fall in love”—just “fondness” 💖. 🍮 Flan con dulce de leche The highest praise from an Asian for dessert: not too sweet ✅. #DateNightSpot #BostonFoodDiscovery #WhatToEatInBoston #FoodReviewDiary
