Excellent food! A very accurate portrayal of Spanish food plated with creativity but just as good if not better than you’d find at the best tapas bars of Madrid!

Amazing food, and service just an outstanding restaurant. We had the dates with pancetta and octopus to start followed by the seafood paella. Everything was excellent. We don't drink but they have mocktails on the menu and an extensive alcoholic drink selection. Beautifully decorated and comfortable inside. Would absolutely recommend!

Great food. The octopus, smoked mackerel, and the bone marrow steak tartare were the highlights of the night. These guys were bringing out dishes well after the kitchen began closing. Would highly recommend.

The food was outstanding! We really loved the croquettes, pork secreto and the foie gras sobrasada. The rest of the dishes were amazing as well, zero complaints. Service was impeccable. We left full and all in it was $150 for each couple, including food, drinks and tip. We were visiting from Edmonton and my partner picked Isabel for his birthday. It did not disappoint! Will definitely be back when we return to Toronto.
