    La Vinia is an absolute gem in Etobicoke! Amazing authentic Spanish food that was absolutely delicious. The seafood paella was outstanding, rich, perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned. And to top it all off the service was spectacular!!! Will definitely be coming again and recommending to everyone!

    En aspectos generales. Todo estuvo muy bien. Debido a que era sabado nos toco esperar un poco. Para recibir la mesa. Lamentablemente el menu que esta publicado no esta actualizado

    Sooooo delicious! My husband and I ate tapas here - grilled calamari, king oyster mushrooms, a special of the day (tripe dish), avocado salad and crab croquettes. For dessert we get the cheesecake special of the day (made with Manchego cheese) and fried milk. Drinks were sangria and Aperol spritz. Service was also phenomenal - they anticipate your needs, are helpful without being intrusive, and the chef even came out to greet us and ask how the food is. We cannot wait to eat here agin and try every dish on the menu!

    Simply amazing! The food is excellent, from tapas to paella. The service is outstanding. The staff are friendly, courteous, and knowledgeable. Absolutely one of the best Spanish restaurants we've been to. I love it when the chef comes out from the kitchen and greets his guests. I highly recommend LaVinia.
