Food was so good I forgot to take more photos! We visited LaVinia last week for dinner. We ordered the grilled chorizo and ham croquettes tapas. The ham croquettes were delicious and paired with an amazing garlic aioli. The grilled chorizo was also great but the garlic aioli muted the chorizo taste unfortunately. We also had the arugula and pear salad which was topped with Stilton cheese. We really enjoyed it. For our main course, we ordered the seafood paella which was amazing and everything was cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed the mango cheesecake and lemon sorbet for dessert. The restaurant is tightly packed, intimate, and has a great atmosphere for a date night dinner or dinner with friends. The waiters were attentive and very helpful when ordered. The chef also came around near the end of our dinner to ask how our meal was. read more

La Vinia - Seafood paella - Spanish Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Came here with the family on a Tuesday night. (for Friday and the weekend I would suggest you make reservations). Food: (5 stars) Tapas: - Croquetas de Iberico: Iberico Croquettes with Basil Oil - $18.95 (5 stars): My favorite thing on the menu, so creamy and tasty. - Mejillones al Vapor: Fresh Mussells Steamed in Spanish Beer - $15.75 (5 stars) My very close second favorite thing on the menu: amazing taste of the sauce. - Croquetas de Cangrejo: Crab Croquettes with a Piquillo Pepper Aioli - $17.95 (4 stars) - They were good but not as good as other things on the menu. - Calamares a la Plancha: Grilled Calamari with Chilli oil - $16.75 (4.5 stars) IT is a tad spicy, but great flavour and texture. Would recommend it. - Carpaccio de Ternera: Veal Carpaccio with Manchego and Mushrooms - $19.75 (4.5 stars) Great flavour and overlapping of the flavours. - Cazuela de Espinacas - Baked Spinach with Goat Cheese - $17.75 (4.5 stars) Very tasty and great mixture of all the flavours. Mains: All the mains are very large, definitely for more than 1 person. - Paella Valenciana: Spanish Saffron Rice with Chorizo, Chicken and Seafood - $26.75 (5 stars) the best of the main meals, the chorizo was giving it a really nice kick. - Paella de Marisco: Spanish Saffron Rice with Shrimp, Calamari, Mussels, Scallops, Monkfish and Clams $29.75 (4.5 stars) - lots of seafood, it was good a tad too runny - Arroz Verde: Scallops, Asparagus, Porcini Mushrooms, Spinach and Pesto $32.75 (3.5 stars): it was good, but too many mixed flavours, would likely not order again. Ambiance: (5 stars) They have indoor and outdoor dining. Outdoor has a thick wooden fence around it, so you do not feel like you are sitting on the street. Service: (5 stars) Very friendly staff, very attentive. read more

I have seen good reviews about this place and tried their takeout recently. There were hits and misses on the dishes and the food quality was generally a 3.5-star experience. I rounded up to 4-star because I wanted to give it another chance to try other dishes at this place next time. A few things I've ordered: - Paella Valenciana: The portion was larger than I expected from looking at photos in other people's reviews. Flavour was great too, with quite generous amount of chicken and seafood ingredients inside. - Iberico croquettes: The flavour of the ham was quite strong, even though the ham itself was invisible. It was served with some dipping sauce, but the dish had enough flavour without the sauce. I generally enjoyed this dish. - Chorizo with Ratatouille: The sausage was definitely a hit. However, the vegetables tasted so undercooked. I didn't like this dish. - Meatballs with tomato sauce: This dish was horrible. It was technically the driest and the tasteless meatballs I've ever had. IKEA meatballs or any supermarket meatballs would be so much better than this. In generally, I recommend the paella and the croquette. If I'm revisiting, I want to try their crab croquettes and other dishes. read more

Cute little spot. Food is decent. Service is very friendly and welcoming. Chorizo & ratatouille was tasty, though didnt have the spice or smokiness I was expecting. Mussels steamed in beer was DELICIOUS - I'd go back just for that 1 dish. Smokey, briney, lightly tomatoey beer sauce - just order that, a basket of bread, and a glass of wine!! Crab cakes were nothing special. The paella mariscos (seafood) was a huge disappointment. The rice was wet, the seafood was bland and overcooked. We ordered it because I read other reviews saying their paella was excellent, but unfortunately it was not at all. No one wanted to take home the leftovers. As a tapas lover, I would say there are other much better places for tapas in Toronto. read more

La Vinia - Spanish Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

The food is amazing! Service is excellent! Ambiance is cozy! It's definitely a 5 . We can't wait to go back.

LaVinia is a little Spanish restaurant located at the west end of GTA. 4 stars overall rating does give me high hopes for this restaurant. The restaurant is very small, and a bit noisy environment. Remember to make reservations ahead of time for Saturday dinner. Walk in is not accepted because it is fully booked on Saturday way ahead of time. We sat down, and the waiter introduced us the special of the night. For appetizers, we had garlic and olive oil shrimps, and grill quail (special of the night). Both are delicious. The main, we had the seafood paella and shellfish stew. The seafood paella is good, but not wonderful. The shellfish stew is tomato soup, but the herb favor is a bit too much that I cannot really taste the tomato. It is not a bad dinner experience, but I personally enjoy Italian cuisine more. If any yelpers live at the west end, definitely would give a try. read more

This place is beautiful! Having been to Spain I'm not a big fan of tapas restaurants in Toronto because of what they charge you for a small plate of food, but La Vinia is so worth it! Portions are fairly decent (we shared 3 tapas and one dessert and it was more than enough). Service is impeccable, the chef is a very nice man and he made rounds around the (few) tables to get feedback on the food. Also, food was amazing! We had the octopus, ibérico ham croquetas, and chorizo with beans and clams, around $16 each. Drinks are a little pricey at $15 for 5oz but it was a nice Rioja (Spanish red wine). Overall a beautiful experience, I will definitely come back to try the paella, there was one in every table! read more

La Vinia is a little taste of Spain. A little far from downtown core, we decided to give this restaurant a try for its "authentic Spanish cuisine". For appetizers, we ordered the Boquerones en Vinagre (anchovies), the Croquetas de Cangrejo (crab croquettes) and the soup of the day. Anchovies have always been either a hit or miss for me. This was decent, but I would suggest pairing with the complimentary bread. The crab croquettes were interesting.. for a lack of a better word. A little on the "mushier" side, but was still very flavourful. Not what I expected or was used to. The soup of the day was very filling. Since we were sharing a soup between two people,the chef split our soup into two bowls. A sweet gesture that we greatly appreciated. By the end of our appetizers, we were starting to feel full. For the main, we shared the Paella Valenciana. This was probably my favorite dish of the night. Very flavourful, filling and fresh as well. Would recommend. We ended the day off sharing a mango cheesecake. We had wanted something light after a very flavourful and heavy dinner, but did not want to spend over $10 for sorbet. The mango cheesecake was ok. We didn't find it to be too special in anyway and could have probably done without. Overall, the dinner was an interesting experience and gave us a little taste of Spain. Throughout the night, the chef walked to our table to ask how we were/food was, which I enjoyed. Definitely commending La Vania for their service and special touches. read more

To say that I am disappointed is an understatement. This is by far, the worst tapas restaurant I have been to. Given the fact that La Vinia is a pretty popular tapas spot on the West-end, neither the food or the service resemble what the restaurant is trying to be. We came here on a Friday evening to celebrate a birthday. From the moment you walk in, it becomes obvious that the restaurant is outdated and "tired". The furniture is dated, the walls are tiled and the paintings are quite frankly out-of-place. The restaurant is also fairly small and it's obvious that tables were added to accommodate larger groups. This afterthought, however, makes the restaurant feel crammed--there is not enough space for the waiters to get through. Let's talk about the food. We ordered several tapas-style dishes and paella. The gazpacho was very flat on flavour and was too acidic. The Pulpo (octopus) was very soft and perfectly poached (the only saving grace). The Paella Valenciana was a sad plate of rice in an over salted broth, not to mention that the seafood & chicken were over cooked. Now for the service. It is practically non-existent. I'm not sure whether the waiters were just having a bad day (possibly all at the same time) or bad service is their standard. Our request for sparkling water was completely ignored and the hot sauce took 30 minutes to arrive, even though we were seated right in front of the kitchen. To be quiet honest, this is one of the worst food experiences I have had in a long time. The food is not even mediocre--it's bad. The menu is RIDICULOUSLY over priced, especially the tapas dishes. I won't be returning. read more

La Vinia - Poached octopus - Spanish Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

See all

Service was decent, but food fell short of expectations. I do love Spanish food, and may have had slightly higher expectations, so I expected to not be wowed, and even then it fell short. We ordered octopus to start, and had seafood paella. The octopus was too chewy (fresh and nicely cooked octopus should be tender) as it should've been, and was a bit bland. Paella typically takes some time to cook (part of the reason is to crisp up the rice at the bottom, and one of the main reasons why I love Paella)- this came out way too quick, and I could taste it. The rice was overly cooked (rice was mushy), the seafood was of poor quality and overcooked as well (i.e. the shrimp was dry in texture). Paella is tricky to cook, so don't expect it to taste like Paella from Spain (I see reviews here saying it tastes just like it, but I suspect they had Paella in touristy areas) read more

A lovely, small Spanish restaurant in the Mimico / New Toronto area! I had it bookmarked for a while and decided to visit La Vinia for my bday dinner. Atmosphere Restaurant is small! There are only about a dozen or so tables, so reservations are highly recommended. Yes, even on a random weekday! I visited on a Thursday evening and it was a full house. Mid-way through the meal, the chef does come to each table to check in on you. He seemed very warm and like he really cared. Food We ordered a sangria (white, but it looked like pink grapefruit colour), 2 tapas (pulpo, chicken croquettes), an order of paella de mariscos (seafood), mango cheesecake, & coffee. This was good enough for 2 ppl, we were stuffed! Highlights from those dishes were the chicken croquettes (light, mousse-like filling) and the cheesecake. Paella was good too, especially the initial bites, but I wished there was more saffron flavour and less salt or even garlic. It did feel a bit heavier when comparing to paellas I've had in Barcelona. Seafood was cooked beautifully though, especially the monkfish! Pulpo was again, soo tender, but I didn't find the dish itself had that much flavour - neither the pieces of octopus nor the potatoes. Other than a hint of pimenton, it was on the bland side, even the potatoes. Skip: Sangria, especially "white" sangria and perhaps order the house wine instead. Apparently, the chef's name is on it and you can't get it elsewhere. They do also have a good wine list of stuff that didn't seem readily available at the LCBO, so take advantage of that! Also skip the coffee (a bit watery) and just go for an espresso. Service Excelente! Absolutely no complaints about the service. Every server seemed happy to be there to serve you. We had a tall, skinny guy, who was friendly and helpful especially with suggestions. I'd definitely be open to visiting again to try other items! It is on the pricier side, so keep that in mind. The entire menu is online, so it should come as no surprise. :) read more

La Vinia - Menus/wine list - Spanish Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

After reading all the great reviews, we came to La Vinia hoping to get an authentic Spanish dining experience. We tried to make online reservations, but could only get 6 or 9 pm. We called and was told 8 pm was the earliest. However, when we arrived early around 7:30 pm, the restaurant was empty and got our table right away. So not sure why they refused to give us an earlier reservation. The chef came out to personally explain the daily specials and his recommendations. He was very friendly, and I can see that he really strives to ensure his customers are satisfied. For appetizers, we ordered: - Grilled Spanish Chorizo with Ratatouille ($14.75). The Chorizo was not spicy nor salty and went well with the Ratatouille. This dish was delicious. - Poached Octopus Marinated in Olive Oil and Pimenton ($14.75). Was soft and tasty, but personally I prefer the octopus from Ufficio and Joso. - Fine Iberico Spanish Ham ($23.75). Wasn't too salty and quite tasty, but didn't seem to have the rich flavor profile as the high-grade Iberico ham from Barcelona. - Fresh White Anchovies with Olive Oil and Vinegar ($14.75). These anchovies were really delicious and not salty at all. Highly recommended. For the main course, we ordered: - Paella de Marisco ($26.75). This dish was loaded with seafood and a great value for the price. I would prefer if it had a little less oil, but still quite delicious. - Lamb Shank (daily special). Very soft, tender, and tasty. Highly recommended. For the dessert, we ordered: - Fried Milk ($10). Although tasty, for two tiny pieces, this was totally not worth it. Would skip. Unfortunately, by the time we had finished our meal, we noticed a large number of ants crawling around on our table. There must have been 20-30 ants, so they have a serious pest control problem. When we mentioned to our server, she offered to replace the table cloth and said that they would investigate afterward. Frankly, I was expecting a more sincere apology, and they could have at least offered to remove that lackluster dessert off the bill... The service here is excellent, as the chef came out numerous times during the meal and after the meal to check on us. The servers came by frequently to refill our waters and exchange our plates and cutlery. The food here is quite good with some dishes being really great (anchovies, lamb shank, paella), others just average (octopus and ham), and the dessert bad. The atmosphere is nice, but by 9 pm, the place got busy and really loud, so it was hard to have a conversation without yelling. The ant problem is quite gross, but luckily we had finished our meal and were ready to leave, so wasn't a huge deal for us (hopefully they can address it before their next health inspection). Overall, a pretty good Spanish dining experience. read more

After living less than a few blocks away for a few years now the wife and I finally decided to give La Vinia a try. Boy were we glad we did! We started with the black prosciutto croquettes (unreal!), avocado salad (delicious!) and the squid. I would rank them in that order, the croquettes were so good but nothing was bad. We then had the Paella as a main shared between us which was very tasty. The service was fantastic all night long and with a bottle of wine dinner came to about $130ish which was more than fair. It is really nice to eat out the way things used to be where service exists and even the chef pops out to tables to say hello to the guests. We will definitely be returning to La Vinia and my wife already took her father back just a week later. read more

Anyone craving Spanish tapas and paella should look no further. Save your money and make the trek here! Worth the splurge, and even then the pricing was very reasonable. Had the chance to try a variety of apps and mains, overall the quality was good on all dishes. Must try here = PAELLA! An awesome thing they offer at this restaurant is you can order your paella per person rather than needing a minimum number like other restaurants. One paella can easily feed 2-3 people. My recommendations are: Paella Valenciana ($24.75), which has the chorizo, chicken, and seafood - this is the paella to beat Arroz Negro ($24.75), which is the squid ink risotto - really flavorful and unique Poached Octopus ($13.75) - had this buttery texture that melted in your mouth Salmon croquette ($13.75) - nice texture that makes you crave for more Good but probably would not re-order: Paella de Marisco ($26.75), which had the shrimp, mussels, calamari, scallops, monkfish, and clam - tad too salty for more liking, but enjoyed by the seafood lovers in my group Sauteed shrimp with garlic and chili oil $14.75) - nothing to rave about Fried milk dessert ($10) - a bit generic and small (2 pieces) given the price Note is that there is only side parking on the street with a paid meter, so it's a bit limited on busier nights. That said, it is free on weekend evenings. We went for a birthday, and they kindly offered a very delectable slice of mango cheesecake! I also tried their fried milk ($10), which was good, but a bit un-memorable for the price. read more

Great Spanish food in Etobicoke, from the food to the atmosphere, everything is 5 star.

My husband and I, along with our son, have come here to celebrate our wedding anniversery for the last 3 years and it is an absolute pleasure to eat at La Vinia every time! Absolutely love the grilled calamari, great char, very delicious, and the Valenciana paella is a must! Delicious rice, chicken, shrimp and sausage! That plus the wine always leave me feeling warm and lovely. Along with the delicious food, the service is just spectacular. The owner and his son, the entire staff really- they care about their customers! They are so kind and really make you feel welcome and at home. The owner is in his kitchen, cookin' it up, coming out to chat with you and make sure everything is wonderful. I just really appreciate them for being great people and not being one of those restaurants that make you feel uncomfortable (the fancy pants, pinkies out type, lol). They have always left us with a sweet treat to celebrate, so charming (and the chocolate raspberry sorbet is amazing!). Love this place so much, I always leave feeling warm, full, and happy! :) read more

Is a very small restaurant. Good service and food were great!! The owner is the chef and very friendly.

Authentic Spanish food at a reasonable price. Great service. The chef himself came and checked up twice since we had to wait longer than expected for a table. The Paella was one of the best I had in Canada. Definitely will come back again. read more

What happened to the professional chefs that are supposed to work there? Paella de Marisco was fishy and had no resemblance of traditional Spanish paella - basically rice with old sea food. Croquetas with Ham were nothing like the photos posted. They were greasy cylinders with white ooze inside. Truly inedible, yuck. Flan dessert was a nice surprise. Disappointing for the money we paid and generous tip we left. read more

This place is unbelievably good, during COVID I was a little worried about quality of food just due to regular constraints of businesses and their suppliers but I cannot even believe how great it was.

We love this place. Its quaint, intimate and has great service. The chef always comes out to greet you and the menu is great. The white anchovy with manchego is the best... and the paella is deceptively large and easily feeds 2 so be warned! If you have the chance to try the zuchini flower croquettes they are a must. The grilled octopus is tender and perfectly cooked ...one of our faves ! read more

I was really excited about this place when I stepped in. But man was I wrong. It started so well and I really wanted to like this place. Dropped by without a reservation and the waiter told me to come back in 20 minutes. The table was ready when I came back - sweet! The restaurant smelled so good from the saffron. The good stuff ends here. We ordered 5 tapas: octopus, crab croquettes, shrimp, Spanish omelette, and quail. All of it was severely under seasoned. Everything other than the omelette seem pre-cooked - as it was room temp when it got to the table. Plating was also lacking. It's not something I usually care about, but the dishes didn't look appetizing. For example, the crab cakes were very dark (maybe old oil?) and were in a sad, sparse bed of romaine lettuce. The shrimp and the quail was the biggest disappointment - it should be juicy and flavourful but were really over cooked. I really don't understand why people are giving such high reviews. I really want them to do well because not a lot of places in Toronto serve tapas. Make your food fresh; have a balance of fat, salt, and acid; and serve it in appropriately sized tapas plates! I think they get a lot of regulars. Mostly older people from nearby. The chef also came out to greet us. He was so sweet. We provided the feedback but by then it was too late to fix it. read more

Very nice Spanish restaurant, the appetizers were the high-light, our favourites were the crab croquettes and the grilled Chorizo. For our main we tried the Paellas, the Chicken and Seafood and the Seafood. We preferred the Chicken and seafood. The staff and service was great. read more

After reading the praise on here, I feel almost guilty leaving only 3 stars. The truth is we did not have an exceptional experience here. Everything that you read is true. The food is great and good quality. Our chicken croquettes were delicious although the spinach and goat cheese was a literally just a small pan of semi-wilted spinach and a huge chunk of goat cheese. Two of us had meat dishes (the lamb chops were amazing) and the other two had paella (both of which were a little burnt on the bottom). Overall, the food was impressive and reasonably priced. Where our experience really fell short was the service. We arrived 10 minutes before a group of 14 however they seemed to monopolize everything. Rather than put our order through first, we waited almost two hours (I'm not even exaggerating) for our food while the huge group got served and left before us. In a restaurant with two kitchen staff, you should never serve a huge group before a small table. Other reservations started showing up and the small restaurant was in a trap. No tables were even close to free although we would've left an hour ago if they hadn't put our order through second. Overall, we spent 3.5 hours for dinner at this place - borderline 2 hours too long. I realize this is maybe an exception to most peoples experience but it was certainly annoying enough that I likely won't return. read more

Everything tasted amazing, different from anything I tried in the city which definitely added to the experience. Chicken croquettes and the Spanish ham plate were my favourite tapa plates. The chef came to greet us and the server was perfect! I give this place 5 stars! read more

We arrived at a small homey restaurant called La Vinia. The waiters and waitresses were pleasant. They were very helpful with the menu and gave some really good recommendations too.

We ordered: Salmon carpaccio Roasted quail Crab croquettes Shrimp in garlic and olive oil Seafood paella We were served bread but no butter or any dip. Odd. Tasted the bread and it was super cold?? The first dish we received was the shrimp with was good, hot and tasted good but there were 4 shrimp for $14. Next was the crab and there was really good, except the fact that they were cold in the middle. The dip they came with was really good too. Next we received the quail, which was really good. No complaints! The salmon carpaccio was good with mango drizzle. I've never had carpaccio before so nothing to compare to. Lastly, the paella took forever but I understand. When we finally received it, it was excellent! This is the only dish that stood out along with the shrimps. I don't know because maybe we went on an off day or understaffed because the food was not consistent. Plus, we noticed we never received pesto with our bread. I had really high hopes because of all the reviews.. read more

Service was good; food was a disaster. Meal started with cold bread and a pesto dipping sauce which tasted a bit acrid. Next, we had two appetizers, grilled calamari and octopus. The calamari was ok, but a bit chewy, and sitting in a pool of olive oil. The octopus, allegedly the chef's specialty, had ultra slimy skin, though the meat was indeed tender. The dish, however, was very rich (due to the octopus swimming in chili oil) and lacked acid--no lemon, citrus or vinegar to counteract the richness. Our evening finished with an extremely underwhelming, expensive and greasy rendition of paella. A few scant (3 or 4 mussels and 2 pieces of shrimp) pieces of seafood coupled with very undercooked rice--again drenched in chili oil. Almost no saffron flavour. No soccarat on the bottom of the paella pan. Did I mention hardly any seafood and greasy rice? Staff and owner seemed very nice, but the food was absolutely deplorable. Wouldn't have dinner there again even for free. Everything you order is drenched in some sort of oil. It makes everything seem greasy and takes away from the flavour of the food. read more

I really thought this place was going to be good ....due to all the good reviews. This place is nothing comparable to paella in barcelona. The service was good but the food, tasteless and bland.

Was here last night with my Venuzualen girlfriend and another couple. The place is small and was packed. Reservations are a must here. Although we came in time we had to wait a bit but the owner (executive chef) and his son who ran the front of the house were amazing. Offered us drinks and an appetizer on the house for our wait. This place is a hidden gem. The servers, the chef who came out personally multiple times were top notch. The food was beyond extrodinary. All the pictures you see posted by other reviews are legit. This is exactly what you will get. The octopus was beyond tender. Imported from Spain and braised for 5-6 hours. It was so tender you could mistake it for a Yukon Gold potatoe. Everything tasted so good. My GF who is more than familiar with Latin cuisine said is was all spot on and a bit of a taste from home. I highly recommend this place. It was outstanding. Nice to see such care and detail to food and service. read more

An intimate, no nonsense contemporary setting that seats at most 30 or 40 people. Excellent food with wonderful flavours and colours and top notch service.
