The interior has high ceilings and lots of chalk art on the walls. Lots of tables for 4s, 8s, and large parties. Looks like a great place to have family gatherings and group feasts. The service was a good pace, there was a good amount of food on the table at any given time and it took about 25-30 min from order to food at the table, we were one of the first groups in and the kitchen was probably still cold. By the time the next group (large party of 12+) arrived, things were much faster. The selection of tapas and main courses covers a large variety of proteins and tastes. Definitely try more dishes than you think you need. Our group of 4 grabbed 2 paellas (the traditionally and exotic forest mushrooms, go for the larger option), a "from the grill" option, and had the house made authentic churros for dessert. Don't skip the churros! They were huge and crispy and fluffy. Looking forward to hanging out with the same group here again. Maybe even stopping by just for the churros.

The ambiance, art, energy were notable. The menu ideas were interesting offering gf, vegetarian options but not strong in vegan or diary free. Very cute outdoor personable Patio but cuter bar inside. I'm starting strong in my review not because it was bad but because it had essences of a great almost there 4.5 worldly tapas bar you can hit day to night, classy to brassy but it needed some finishing touches. The deep fried pickles were the best. The crab dish was the best value - tonnnnnes of crab but needed some punch in the seasoning department... the tacos ok but the pitas were more like burritos, good size not more Canadianized / Americanized tacos, poutine was lit.... I had a great time with my friends and that's what was most stunning about here food almost, bar 10, friends 10, art 10, music 10 .. I'm hoping to come back again soon :)

The paella is supposed to be crispy at the bottom, but they don't have that burning crispy feel any more.

The restaurant is well decorated, medium size, good for gathering and parties.

We went to Talagria for the Father's Day weekend brunch…read more Let's start with the great. Well, nothing. The good. There was an ok variety of food items. The had roasted pork, a roast beef, 2 kinds of paella (seafood, truffle mushroom), garlic shrimp, asparagus, potatoes, a few salads, some dips, eggs, bacon, breads, fruit, a selection of pastries and several other dishes. It was good selection. The problem is that they could not refill the popular dishes fast enough. They sat empty for a while. The bad. The table we sat at was simply too close to the table behind us. There was simply too little room for customers/waiters to walk by - and they did walk by as it's a buffet. But, they kept bumping in to us, asking us to move, and overall, it was just unpleasant. Getting the food is equally as bad. The restaurant was not built or designed for a buffet. So, it comes down to the customers being patient and obedient and just following simple (common sense) rules. That didn't happen several times with several "pushy" customers and were too impatient. Finally, was the $70 per person justified (it's normally $50). Hell, no. I knew what it would cost going in, although I booked 3 weeks in advance (thinking $50) and got a phone call 2 weeks before to warn me it was jumping to $70 due to Father's Day and was I ok with it. Never having been before, I thought, if they can demand $70, it must be great. Sadly, no.

We ordered a mix of dishes to share, and everything came out beautifully presented. The flavors felt very balanced--nothing overly heavy, just really well thought out.

It's the kind of place you can come for a relaxed evening but still feel like you're treating yourself a little.

Our favourites were the oxtail pintxo, bravas, wagyu, churros, and flan--each of these really stood out and delivered on flavour. That said, I was especially excited for the paella, and it unfortunately fell short. I've had better paella from a food truck, and for much cheaper. Between the chicken and striploin, we preferred the chicken as it had a more cohesive flavour. The striploin was cooked closer to rare when we asked for medium rare, making it tough to eat, and the rice itself was quite bland. On a positive note, the service was lovely--attentive, warm, and accommodating throughout the night. Our server checked in often without being intrusive and made the experience feel polished and welcoming. Overall, while the ambience and service made for a great evening, the food didn't quite justify the price for me. Not sure I'd return, but still a nice spot if you're looking for a good atmosphere.
