   La paella vegetariana siempre riquísima, también la más barata en Toronto, siendo ésta tan solo de $25, no acabo de entender por qué los demás restaurantes españoles de por aquí no pueden poner un precio así de barato a sus paellas vegetarianas, que el precio no tiene por qué quitar el buen sabor ni la buena preparación. La atención buenísima también, muy majos tanto los cocineros como los camareros. También les mando un cordial saludo a los cocineros.

   Food is excellent, and traditional to Spain. Service was prefect, being present but not over the top. Couldn’t ask for better

    Chef came to the table to see how everything was, loved that! Amazing! Garlic shrimp = delicious, poached octopus = pretty good, Paella = enough to feed 3. The server was great and the overall experience was great. I could hear the server interacting with people, he knew their names, you could tell they had many regulars. Overall really great.

    It has been a while since we have been in the neighborhood but it was a joy to reconnect with this restaurant. The food remains amazing. We shared a seafood paella which had a generous and nicely varied melody of shrimp calamari fish clams mussels etc. Loved that they ensure it is cooked long enough to get some of the rice on the bottom nice a chrunchy from the heat of the pan. We shared a selection of tapas for the balance of the meal. We let the chef choose them for us. A lovely assortment from light and chilled anchovies with cheese through croquettes and a feature sweat breads. The chef was also flexible to adjust the offering for a food allergy. Thanks so much. Staff are all very attentive professional and friendly. Will visit again when we are in town.

    Going to La Vinia feels like you are going over to your neighbour’s house who happens to be an excellent cook with a great wine cellar. Warm, intimate and friendly, this has become our go-to spot for special occasions. The food is always excellent, the service authentic and we always walk away feeling well looked after.

    This was the best Spanish meal we have had in Toronto. Small and cozy neighbourhood feel, family run, outstanding food and service. We have been wanting to try it out for a while. Were lucky enough to get a reservation for my husband’s birthday. We enjoyed a number of tapas items and a main course. The meal was perfectly paced. Book in advance! You won’t be disappointed.

    Food was absolutely horrendous. Wasnt fresh and wasnt seasoned properly. The crab croquettes werent fresh you can tell they were frozen and just dumped into the fryer. If this place claims to be the closest resemblance to barcelona seafood then I never wanna go to barcelona. We got the paella and it was more rice then seafood. Barely any seafood at all and it all tasted the damn same. Service was good but the food is awful. Never going there again.

    Thanks to the high ratings here we tried this place for the first time this week. Although a Wednesday, it was packed. Between 7 and 9 pm we continuously saw tables emptying and filling up again right away - for many good reasons. The service is excellent, the waiter's knowledge about the wines on the menu was at par with European Sommelier level. The chef came out to talk to each person several times. The quality of the food was excellent, both lamb and duck melted in our mouths. You can't escape the insufficient quality of North American dairy products but the outstanding cooking skills compensated for most of it. The Caramel Choc Flan was one of my best chocolate indulgences in years. We will be back!

Conversations can be done and normal voice level. Lightings are very good to read the menu and see your meal. Will recommend to friends.

    Wonderful Spanish restaurant on Lakeshore Blvd in the Park Lawn area. Excellent, authentic Spanish cuisine, attentive staff including an owner who regularly strolls the tables to engage directly with his patrons. The wine list is limited all while providing a good cross section of relevant Spanish selections. Reservations are recommended based on our experience: the place is "jumpin". The one downside is the volume level: this is an intimate space hosting tables quite close to one anther with little in the way of noise dampening elements (curtains, soft walls or other). Be prepared to get to know your fellow patrons and speak loudly.

    This place used to be one of my favourite restaurants not just for Spanish food but for all food. The service is amazing but I’ve found the quality of food to have deteriorated a lot since last year when I came. The clams with chorizo and white beans had sand in them and the paella really lacked the soccarat (crust formed at the bottom) which defeats the purpose of having paella in my opinion. Also the squid and chicken were very dry/tough and not seasoned at all. Overall the taste was good, but you would expect more attention to detail from a restaurant of this price range
