In both 2022 and 2023, we received the prestigious Bib Gourmand accolade from the Michelin Guide, making us the first fully plant-based restaurant in Canada to achieve such a distinction.

At La Bartola, we take pride in creating an authentic dining experience from scratch. Our corn-based dishes like handmade tortillas, Oaxacan Tetelas, meticulously crafted from non-GMO heirloom corn and traditional Moles, carry the legacy of ancient recipes passed down through generations.

Every meal we serve is a tribute to the artistry and time-honoured techniques of Mexican cuisine.
Our commitment to using high-quality, traditional ingredients brings flavours to life in unparalleled ways. Each dish tells a story of dedication, honouring the cultural heritage while embracing a plant-based philosophy. 

Join us on a flavorful journey where each bite is a celebration of artisanal craftsmanship, culinary excellence, and the rich legacy of Mexican gastronomy.

    Food: The presentation and taste was amazing! All the dishes were great! By far the best vegan AND vegetarian I've had anywhere in all of southern Ontario. Not to mention the vibrant colors incorporated in the dishes. Service and experience: The host and server were very nice and accommodating (asked for extra tortillas to finish some mole). Also really like the explanations when dishes were presented, as well as the utensil rests! Drinks: amazing! Even the mocktails were 10/10!

    Food + dessert + drinks were incredible. Only negative is that we were left waiting before being seated for quite a while.

    I did the tasting menu and pretty disappointed overall especially with course 2 and 3. I’m not a picky eater and generally like most things but course 2 was not good. The tetela was not flavorful and very tough to cut the outside was almost stale. Not a fan of sweet mole it tasted more like chocolate than anything else. The third dish was basically a variation of the second with a different mole. This mole was delicious but did not enjoy the lions main and it gave the same taste as course two which is disappointing for a tasting menu. I would have like to see something different. Sorbet was icy and hard to eat. Drinks were good the first course was delicious the vinaigrette was very tasty. The snacks they provided in between courses were honestly my favorite. It also thought it took way too long, my reservation was at 8:30 and I left at 10:30. I was by myself exploring Toronto, so not a lot going on at the table or many people to serve so it should not have taken that long. The food also seemed preprepared for the most part. Overall not worth what it cost and sad I spent my last night with that food. Toronto has some amazing restaurants i went to over the week and I would recommend somewhere else.

    Just had a amazing dinner experience with my partner at La Bartola. We had the tasting menu. Each course was delicious and lovely to look at. We both enjoyed the dinner experience immensely. Highly recommend trying the tasting menu.

    Amazing restaurant! I it’s pricey but if you want unique and different Mexican food that is authentic then this is the place. It’s vegan which is why we chose it as we had vegan guests visiting. The moles were awesome and that pumpkin seed spread is *chefs kiss*

    Our family loves La Bartola. The food is next level creative and so flavourful. As a family that cooks really well, there aren’t many places we can go out and enjoy a fabulous meal with we can’t make at home better ourselves. It’s getting too expensive to eat here now. The taco platters with 10 tacos is gone. With a family of 2 teen boys we really appreciated that. The $60 minimum when reserving a table was the last straw for us. Unfortunately we will have to save this place for very special times now. Can’t afford $240 + tax + tip for a meal. We love you la bartola, but can’t afford you anymore.
