Jose Sosa

Atmosphere is lovely, food is awesome, service is great, and Fernando make you feel like your house from the very first moment. We been there so far 3 times in less that two weeks, from the wine to the dessert everything is great. Absolutely truly Spanish food, Fernando "the Chef" come to your table to check that the food is what you are expecting for. The price is right for the service and the quality that you get there, I will recommend all the plates .. but the paella ... Delicious, the best one in Toronto.

Armando Arauz

Everything appeared amazing.... Amazing tapas, amazing paella, and really good dessert. The tapas portion was good and the paella was plenty. The service is really good here, they speak Spanish, and the chef is wonderful. The chef paid a visit to every table, even serving one and asking all how they enjoyed the meal. A really good experience, a really sweet and cozy place and a nice evening. But, the very next day both me and my gf were very sick. It turns out we got food poisoning.

Nicholas Ernst

Amazing place! We did take out during Covid season, totally made my wife’s birthday. The octopus and fried goat cheese salad are must haves!! Very reasonably priced for the quality of food. Hat’s off to the chef!

Richard

This place is just amazing ... best food ever along with outstanding service.

Great meal. Great Service. Reasonable prices. The head chef even came out to ask me if we enjoyed our meal. Highly recommend.

This is one of my favourite restaurants, I have been coming here for years that the staff and food is excellent . I find that it’s very authentic being that I’ve been to Barcelona in coming here I feel like the food taste the same especially the Spanish Paella along with other menu options. They also have nice wine selection. After a great meal the dessert is my fav the mango cheesecake oh wow I can’t get enough! I would highly recommend to family and friends it makes you feel like you are in the Spain.

BHerlin

It was ok. Not sure why so many 5 stars. Good service. Portions are massive. You won't go hungry here. Too much salt on every plate we had. If you're hungry - great place for you. Like I said, good restaurant but won't be back nor would I recommend it. 3.5 stars. Place is packed so reservations required if your planning a visit here.

Delicious food - the risotto verde was our favourite. The chef came by and was so kind. It was much appreciated. The service was wonderful and fast. Thanks to LaVinia for making our dinner so enjoyable and satisfying!

Allan C.

Excellent, tasty, exquisite fine dining at a good price. Probably one of the best cozy spanish restaurants in the G.T.A. Attentive first class servers, an open kitchen, and very tasty dishes. The seafood paellas are always excellent, and so are the many appetizers (crab cakes were delicious and the shrimp chorizo mushroom special)..the mango cheesecake was also great. They also have a really refreshing sangria!

Carlos Cordido

The food is delicious and portions are decent. The service is one the best I have experienced in Toronto. Place is not big so it is better to make a reservation. Not cheap but worth the money in every way. Totally recommend.

Michael G

I absolutely love this place! I called to make reservations the person on the phone was friendly and cordial. On arrival I was shown to my seat and introduced to the owner(or manager, I dont remember). He was a very friendly respectful person. I asked for suggestions and made small talk, my wife and I both felt very welcomed. We ordered 2 paella dishes and a bottle of Rioja. The wine was fairly priced and so was the food, though not cheap when you're in the Toronto area, expect to pay similar prices. The owner came to check on us a few times, and at one point another customer was finished eating. She was with a younger child and lived across the street. The owner had a staff member escort her to her building and carry her food which I though was the most generous kind act I have ever seen from a proprietor. We asked for the bill, the owner came to send us off, but first offered us complimentary coffee. I cannot recommend this place more, and I dare you to find better Spanish food in the city. To be honest, I have only once been so pleased with a restaurant and it was in Montreal, so I guess you can say this is my favourite restaurant in Toronto.

Great service. Great food.the octopus was soo soft and full of flavors.the clamps with chorizo were amazing.i will recommend this restaurant to anyone who will want to have a great dinner.

Nigel Brown

We have been to LaVinia 3 times in preparation for our trip to Spain. Totally impressed with the quality of the food and service. Tapas were great and creative on our first visit. The Paella was awesome on our second visit and Fideos were equally good the third time around. The owner Fernando Garcia paid a visit to our table each time and was very charming. We explained that we were soon visiting several cities in Spain and asked if he could provide restaurant recommendations. We exchanged contact details and not only did Fernando recommend several restaurants in most cities but he also gave us names of the proprietor or their family members. The experiences we had in Spain are now treasured memories, thanks in part to Fernando. Also need to give a shout out to the serving staff... Fernando's son and their adopted Irish enchanter. Having said all this it's probably Fernando's wife who is the real star creating magic in the kitchen.

This restaurant is constantly rated in top ten of Toronto’s restaurants. It is in my neighbourhood I don’t go as often as one would expect because it’s so hard to book a reservation.... they are so great that they are booked for months ahead. But few times I have been there it is just spectacular! Keep in mind that are quite pricey!

Randy Ai

Quality food and excellent service! The owner also cooks, and his wife works in the kitchen, so it has a fantastic family-run feel. Waiters were very friendly as well. This upscale place is perfect for a date (if you're a young couple celebrating an anniversary), and also seems to be a regular hangout for groups of seniors who wish to talk about their retirement plans or their stock portfolio. Something for everyone.

Allan

(Translated) The small shop is not big, but it is very delicately packed. The service is by far the best in Canada (a star-rated restaurant or Michelin), none of them. Careful, insightful and insightful. For my first Spanish meal, I ordered the most well-known cuttlefish rice and paella. The desserts were cheese cake and mixed raspberry ice cream. In the middle of the meal, the master chef came out and asked how it tasted. It tasted great. I feel that most of them are regular customers and I know the boss very well. As for the Google $$$ classification, I think the taste of this service is excellent value for money. Highly recommended???? PS: It's so delicious, I don't have time to take pictures, the other review photos are very complete, you can refer to it. (Original) 小店不大,但是收拾的很精致。服务是目前为止加拿大遇到最好的(星级餐厅或者米其林没吃过),没有之一。细致,有眼力见儿,有范儿。 第一次吃西班牙餐,点了最为熟知的墨鱼饭和海鲜饭,甜点是奶酪蛋糕,混莓冰激凌。用餐中途主厨老爷子还出来问味道怎么样,味道相当棒。 感觉大部分都是熟客,跟老板很熟络。 至于谷歌$$$的分类,我觉得这个服务这个味道,物超所值。 强烈推荐???? PS:太好吃了,没空拍照,其他评论照片很全了,可以参考。

Amazing place with well balanced dishes and very friendly and professional servers. The chef is unbelievably nice and kind and loves his work. If you’re looking for great tasting Spanish dishes, look no further.

Thomas Klepl

Thoroughly enjoyed dinner on the cozy front patio of this family owned and operated restaurant! We asked the chef to create our menu and we loved every dish. Fresh salads and perfectly cooked seafood and rich paella. Beautiful wines. The desserts in particular were a real treat. A real Mimico gem.

Sarah Koo

Ordered the paella which was delicious and the service was great. Only thing is that it smelled like a restroom when you walked in. A bit of a turn off.

Mauricio Sierra

Rodica Teodorescu

Best tapas that we had in GTA. We ordered 8 tapas from the menu. One better then the other with octopus still beeing my favorite and white anchovies a fine delicatessen. Quaills, calamari, clams with white beens and chorizo, scallops...each one of them with an amazing sauce soo tasty and incredible done on the spot...we felt transported somewere in Spain with also the help with an appropriate music ambiance. For the tapas, I found the portions quite generous comparing with other places downtown. It is more like an appetizer. We had to much food but is hard to don't want to try everything. Paiella done to perfection. All the food was EXCELLENT. Congratulations to the CHEF. Service was elegant, nobody rushed us even so the restaurant was full. They changed the plates and cutlery few times so you can taste the individual flavor of each carefully done and presented meal. All in all a really hidden treasure and a wonderful experience. I definetely go there again.

Leo Grosso

Chef Fernando doesn’t disappoint, bringing the wonderful tastes of Madrid, Spain to lakeshore TORONTO. Known for its exquisite paella’s and tapas with true authentic flavors, thanks Chef for bringing me back to Spain on this snowy TORONTO night! Great staff and service should also be noted.

Vlada Dormant

Excellent place. Was a bit concerned looking at the pictures from google. But when we came, everything was amazing. Food is excellent. We ordered from tapas menu and we surprised with food quality and service. We did not like calamari tapas (just personal preference, nothing to do with actual dish) and end-up talking to restaurant Chef (very interesting person), and dish was replaced with some other tasty one. Once again, service is excellent, food is amazing. Planning to come back for more authentic Spanish dishes.

Lily Marshall CNP, CPT

Not sure why this place was rated so highly by so many people. The food, service and ambiance are all mediocre at best. And the prices do not reflect in the quality or quantity. Very greasy paella. The only thing they have going for them is that they don’t have much competition in the area.

Andy So

Absolutely amazing food. We can’t wait to be able to eat in the restaurant but they set us up for a beautiful picnic experience at a nearby park.

Serge S

that was the experience!!!!!!! that is really good Spanish food, Spanish wine, and Spanish spirit. strongly recommended.

Fawad Sarwar

Kelly Chan

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.

Donna Yuen

Food is overovjed isn't very tasty or authentic. Paella rice was hard. Do not recommend and will not come back.

Martha Vasquez

Laura McCartie

Monique Miller

Most definitely recommend. Food, staff atmosphere was perfect.

Andrew Aitchison

George Chatzivasileiou

I found that either the menu needs a slight decrease in price or the food just one notch up. I had the oyster mushroom appetizer. Butter, oil and garlic. Simple and certainly appetizing. For main an amazing risotto with mussels and squid, cooked with its ink. This dish does deserve 6 stars alone. I would return especially for the latter dish. I have not seen in many places in Canada so I would highly recommend it. Last but not least, the atmosphere is a bit confusing, trying to mix fancy with family and regulars.

Cris Diaconu

This instantly became one of my favourite spots for a great dining experience. It's not big, so you'll need to make reservations. The staff is very attentive and no matter what menu you pick from, the food is fresh, flavourful and great tasting. Prices are incredible for the quality and quantity offered. Parking is available on the street at $1/hour, free after 6 pm.

John Davis

Jeremy Irwin

Amazing food and service.

Bryan Gillis

To our complete surprise and at the end of our evening we noticed that we had spent over 3 hours enjoying a spectacular meal. Nothing pretentious about this place yet the service was outstanding, no sales at the table just good old fashioned waitering. (Not sure if that's a word but it sounds right to me) We ordered appetizers/tapas and shared all of them, they came one at a time so we could savour each Our chef came out to the main restaurant to check in on the masterful meals prepared, another nice touch By the way the waiter is the son of the chef/owner. And you can see where service and attention to detail runs in the family. Just in case you are wondering, I am in no way related to th family, I am simply a very satisfied customer I will return to La Vinia

Alexander Hawkins

Came here for a school interview. Drove all the way from London and I can say it was worth it for the food alone. I ordered 2 glasses of white wine, a crab appatiser and the seafood pasta for my entree. Overall the meal was filled with flavour and you could taste how fresh the shrimp was. I can honestly say ive never had shrimp that good before. The service was exactly what I expected the staff were incredibely proffesional, the chef came out to ask if we enjoyed the meal, my water was never empty. Moving on to the desert, fabulous, absolutely fabuolous creamboule. I will return when i'm in Toronto and next and many more times to come hopefully. -Alexander

Really nice Spanish restaurant. Seafood is very fresh and the Paella was well made, generously portioned. The chef was talented and cared about the customer. The restaurant is small an cozy. Parking here can be hard but the public transit is great. Also near the Lake Shore.

Kristóf Nagy

Exceptional service, outstanding meals, moderate-to high prices. Recommended!

Marko D (LiquidNeon)

Entirely overrated in my opinion. The food is good, but far from great - some items were simply not good and I'm not even a picky eater (anything with shrimp was surprisingly disappointing). Prices are quite high (top notch downtown restaurant prices). Location and decor are average to below average. Service is also just OK - no real complaints, but certainly not a positive. All in all, I'd say there isn't very good value here. If you were to spend $50-100 pp, you can find significantly nicer places with better food. There are countless places where you can spend less and be far more pleased with the experience. i wont be returning.

Mandy Leung

Service was very professional, but not friendly. The food was perfect and authentic. Dessert was good but 11 bucks for a tiny piece of creme caramel..?! Intimate setting, great for dates. Owner came out to check on the tables. Prices were a bit high, but quality is there.

Kevin O

Great ambiance, great food, great staff!

Andy Tan

The Spanish dishes were excellent so were the excellent services.

Ellie Joy P.

Are you craving for some very tasty seafood? Then, this is your place! But, its best to make a reservation first! The food was fantastic, we enjoyed EVERYTHING: from the crab cakes appetizer to our yummiest paellas and delicious friend milk dessert! The vanilla ice cream was delightful too! And everything we ordered arrived fairly quick. The portions are HUGE! We had tons of leftovers, but everything tasted so good even the next day! My only suggestion for them would be to try do a better job with the bread they serve while waiting for the food: to make sure is fresh and maybe even warm it up a little right before serving it! It would make a huge difference! The waiters have been very friendly and helpful - very nice, professional service! Loved also the design of the place.

Don Blevens

Great staff. Amazing food.

Even with a small kitchen and a packed restaurant, they were able to keep amazing food coming out throughout the night. Definitely will be returning.

Kit Bhatkal

Good food and great service. Definitely would recommend for an unforgettable experience.

Rebecca Muscat

The food that we ordered was perfection. We had the baked goat cheese and spinach, grilled calamari and the paella Valencia. Not only was the food incredible but the service was exceptional. Attentive, professional and kind. Even the head chef had come out to ensure the customers were satisfied. This place will for sure be a staple and we will be back many more times to come!

Colin Toal

Had a wonderful meal here with my wife and mom. Delicious paella, rich with seafood and saffron and spices. Great wine, and a wonderful scallop appetizer. Most of all though, the service matched the excellent food. This is clearly a place where everyone works very hard at what they do because they love it - and it comes through in the food and service.

Hilary Jackett

The food is very good and the atmosphere is cozy. Lovely tapas. I have been there several times and had great experiences expect for one evening. The restaurant was busy and they did warn us that the food may take abit longer than usual which was fine. The issue was that we saw many tables around us being served their food (both tapas and the paella) who had come in and ordered after us. In fact our tapas were served one hour after ordering and the paella was served to use two hours after ordering. When paying the bill my father brought this up with the waitress who quickly went to get the owner and chef. The owner then proceeded to yell at my father in front of the whole restaurant and tell him that he was wrong and ungrateful. It was incredibly embarrassing, especially since my father asked calmly and quietly why the wait had been so long for us, and said he wished they would have let us know it would be two hours. 4 stars because of all the great experiences we have had, but honestly to be yelled at after you've waited almost three hours to eat and pay for your meal is unbelievable.

Wilfred Tam

A pretty awful experience on Valentine’s Day. Staff was very rude right from arrival. Told me I was 10 minutes early for my reservation so I had to wait even though I saw 4 tables open. In the next 10 minutes no on arrived but I still got seated 10 mins even after that. Took about 20 mins before we got to order a bottle of wine. Ordered crab cakes, they were quite good. Shrimp was very over cooked. They brought a second order of shrimp instead of our next dish, so we told them we already got that dish and were in fact waiting for scallops. Scallop was raw inside and cold. Paella was bland and over cooked and seafood was chewy. The restaurant was super packed with tables. Don’t know if this is cause it was Valentine’s Day, but we couldn’t even squeeze between tables to get to the bathroom. Had to walk all the way to the end of the tables and go around and all the way back to get through. Also the service was awful. No smiles. Very rude and pretentious. One female server was super friendly and she got scolded by a male server for not being formal enough... definitely not an experience I would repeat. I don’t know if this is because it was Valentine’s Day and they got overwhelmed or what, but still they should have been prepared as it should have been expected.

Food is terrific and very attentive servers! I would highly recommend the grilled calamari.

Ira Kates

Great meal - Best Spanish meal we've had in Toronto! Jamón Ibérico - Fine Ibérico Spanish Ham - well worth the price, great simple preperation with perfect seasoning. Pulpo a la Gallega – Poached Octopus Marinated in Olive Oil and Pimentón - not my favorite, but my fiance loved it. Texture was nice! Calamares a la Plancha – Grilled Calamari with Chilli oil - Best piece of calamari I have had. Perfect seasoning and cooked flawlesly. You could draw a knife through it! Carpaccio de Ternera – Veal Carpaccio with Manchego and Mushrooms - absolutely perfect balance of salt and olive oil to compliment the butter. paper thin carpaccio. Caldereta – Shellfish Stew - super generous helping of tuna, muscles, clams, scallops, prawns and sword fish. The broth was dynamite Colin our server was perfect, very attentive while not being overbearing, respectful of our wine glasses but not pushy to upsell or refill. He earned his 20% We will be back!

Kevin Ko

(2017) Went here for my mother's birthday. Had 4 Tapas: Spanish Ham, Spanish Meatballs, Braised Octopus & Steamed muscles. Followed by a Seafood Paella as a main dish Also had a complimentary Cheese Cake and Tartufo for dessert. Perfect amount of food for 4 people without feeling too full. Enjoyed the nice variety of Spanish food, cozy atmosphere, professional and caring staff. Even the head chef came out to greet customers. It was pretty busy, but we had a 7pm reservation to beat the dinner rush. I consider this place a high end Spanish cuisine experience as the prices are up there, but makes for an unforgettable meal. I will likely return for another visit to sample more items. Update (2019): Revisited for my parents 45th Anniversary + relatives visiting. From out of town. We visited on Boxing Day and had a 6:30 reservation and we were the first to be served. We had the Spanish Meatballs, Spanish Ham and Grilled Scallops to start with the Penne Pasta, Chicken & Seafood Paella and Squid Ink Risotto. Everything was absolutely delicious! Not spicy or weird, just flavor and comfort. This place deserves it's place in the TOP 10 Tapas Restaurants in Toronto according to tripadvisor. Its reputation shows through from the professional service, delicious foods and sweet and passionate head chef who visits every table after service to ensure his guests are happy. Update 2021: Returning in stage 3 of the pandemic lockdown. This time for my father's birthday. Restaurant is still going strong. Food is top notch. Service is friendly and professional. Great to see things going back to normal!

A beautiful, quaint spot in the heart of Etobicoke. The service is absolutely outstanding. The Chef came out to ensure we were satisfied and the quality of the dishes is phenomenal. An absolute 5 star, will definitely be coming back soon!

I recently was taken here for my birthday and could not stop commenting on the service and food quality. Their house wine was also good and imported from their vineyards in Spain. They were very accommodating to my 2-1/2 year old granddaughter.

Excellent authentic Spanish food. Love the Scallop Tapas and Paella.

We had a group of five people so we took full advantage of that and split the following dishes: Appetizers: poached octopus, grilled calamari, crab croquettes, chicken croquettes, Spanish meatballs, fresh white anchovies, garlic soup, avocado salad, gazpacho (daily soup) Main: Spanish saffron rice with grilled Calamari, scallops, shrimp, and fish Dessert: mango cheese cake, chocolate tartufo, fried milk, and sorbet There was not one dish that we did not like, and my husband was about to lick the plate that had the meatballs. The avocado salad was probably the only thing that wasn't super special. Then again, it's a salad. I could've skipped the chicken croquettes as well. One person got the garlic soup with bread and one without. I recommend getting this dish without the bread, as the bread takes away the balance of the soup a bit. All the seafood in the saffron rice was nicely charred and mixed in. I cannot criticize the desserts as they were all delicious. Everything had the right amount of sweetness. My husband thought the desserts were not as good as the rest of the courses, but I cannot agree with him. Last but not least, the sangria! I would skip the wine list and go straight to their sangria. We tried the white and red, and hands down the red sangria. The white sangria was a bit too sweet for my liking.

The food was amazing, you can tell that care was put into the meal. The ambience was fantastic as well. We were able to sit and enjoy the meal without being rushed. The servers anticipated what we needed and were amazing.

If you want to enjoy a great Paella and delicious Spanish cuisine... La Vinia Restaurant is in fact the best place to be. Also they have a great Spanish wine selection. The stuff is very friendly and helpful and the service is out of this world. PS: Don't forget the desert ????????

Unforgettable birthday diner with family. Nice atmosphere, delicious menu, warm hospitality. A lot to discover among tasty foods prepared by Fernando himself. Thanks to all LaVinia Team

Allen Garcia

Overall I liked it and I will return. I got few mussels not so fresh. I would have preferred a little less salt in my paella.

Hossain Khan

Great food and nice service. The Spanish chef came out periodically to ask if we are enjoying our food. Most of the staffs were Spanish too. Totally enjoyed our stay.

Adnan Khan

Expensive drinks, average food

Dean Reni

I dropped in this restaurant a couple times, and we were able to get a table immediately, though it seems to be quite busy so reservations are definitely recommended. Really good Spanish food! I always get the paella, it's really fresh and tastes fantastic

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.

Fantastic Spanish food including an extensive tapas menu and paella dishes. Great place for Spanish wines and the service is superb. Definitely a special occasion destination.

Peter Rozanec

Hidden gem. Excellent Spanish cuisine, solid menu. Highly recommend.

Incredible food

Pros: Decent paella though the ones we ordered were a bit burned on the bottom and lukewarm as though they had been sitting out for awhile before being served Cons: Redhead server making inappropriate comments and his manager not apologizing on his behalf, he pretty much ruined the rest of our evening

I don't understand the ratings. Definitely attentive and proper service. The chef also came out to greet us which was a nice touch. Unfortunately, the food was not worth the price. We had the seafood paella which was overly salty and oily and the seafood was bland and not fresh. I've made homemade paella and this meal did not even compare. We also had the meatballs (dry, although tasty sauce), mushrooms (undercooked), and croquettes (okay). It was a mediocre food experience for an expensive bill. Definitely not above a 4 star.

A place where you can get a true taste of honest Spanish food. Excellent customer service and a great experience overall.

We went here on a Friday night. The restaurant has limited tables, so make sure you call ahead or book online for a table. We were seated immediately upon arrival. I had wanted to come here, because I heard great things about the paella. I ordered the seafood paella and my partner ordered the vegetable paella. Unfortunately, the waitress misheard him and brought another type out. The restaurant was very quick to take it back to the kitchen and make him the correct one. While we were waiting, the chef came out to apologize and gave us some complimentary crab croquettes on the house while we waited. The paella was amazing. The first time I had paella was in Spain and I have to say this was even better. The portions were massive and there was plenty of seafood in mine. My partner's vegetable paella was also amazing. They both tasted very different and distinct, but both were very good in their own way. I highly recommend this restaurant and I cannot wait to come back with my friends.

Great little intimate Spanish restaurant! The food is cooked perfectly. We had paella de marisco, and arroz a banda and the octopus. They accommodated a group of 10 with attentative service. The chef personally comes out to great everyone. Highly recommended but make reservations!

Was there before and the food was excellent...this time the paella was dry and lacked taste.

Samantha Woody

I have never had such a bad experience at restaurant. Food was not good, Service was worse. I honestly did not even eat my paella. No offer for a different item and no reduction on bill. Chef came out to condescend me at my table. No dessert menu brought out. Felt disregarded for being a 20smthg women out with my girl friend. I am in the industry and serve at a fine dining restaurant. I was appalled by my experience here.

Kamyab F

Kent Chan

Great restaurant! Service is excellent. The chef came out to make sure that everything tasted great and we were doing well. The garlic shrimp is delicious and probably one of their most popular dishes. Atmosphere is quaint. Prices are on the higher side of reasonable but the food quality makes it worth it. There is paid curb parking on Lakeshore.

Yevgeniya Quecano

Amazing place. Food is wonderful! Atmosphere is grate! Recommend 100%!

Incredible food -- the paella marisco, crab croquettes and Gambas Salteadas con Setas, Anís y Salsa de Azafrán in particular were standouts -- and the service couldn't have been better. What a wonderful family-owned spot.

Giorgio V

This was a great night out. We loved the food. We tried the paella and the lamb and they both were great. The chef comes out and talks to every table and one point of the night. The service was great and friendly. Not always parking so give your self some time to find some. Not a large place so make reservations in advance. Dessert : mango cheesecake and creme brulee was delicious.

Excellent food, unique and homemade. The chef puts in a lot of effort to make it and enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend this place! Do make reservations prior since it is usually full on the weekend.

Lorraine Gerada

Wendy Gunnoe

The family had dinner at for this first time last night. As soon as I walked in the energy and atmosphere was welcoming and beautiful. The food - tapas and paella's were shared were of the finest I’ve had in North America. To say nothing of the octopus & calamari. The service was great, informative and so professional. A family business and our waiter made excellent wine recommendations and, without being intrusive, ensured our every need was met. A great dinning experience and excellent food. Worth every cent.

Edwin Infante

Best Spanish food in Toronto, period. Service is stellar, truly, truly a hidden gem.

I really enjoyed my time at La Vinia. It is very authentic Spanish food. We shared an bunch of tapas and they were very well prepared and tasty. Only thing is that portion sizes are a little small for the price.

Sonia Tavares

We brought our mother for an early Mother's Day to beat the crowds and couldn't have been more pleased! Every dish was full of flavour and quality ingredients. The ambience is great and the wait staff very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I would recommend Lavinia to everyone, in fact, I have been talking about it non stop. Worth every cent!

Fernando Maldonado

Great food.

Diego Cottarelli

Excellent Spanish restaurant located beside Toronto downtown. Offering beautiful and original Spanish taste with high quality products. Octopus was amazing and paella too. Highly recommend if traveling in the neighborhood

Noorthecat

Jenny Luong

Food was excellent, you could taste how complex the flavours were in every dish. The chef also came around to check up on everyone to see of they were enjoying the food. And to top everything off this is probably the best service I've ever experienced. Shout out to the sweet waitress and waiter working the night of June 9th!

Antonella Pena

This restaurant is very special to me and my boyfriend. We love every single detail on the service, but it wouldn’t be the same if it wasn’t for the hard work Don Fernando, his wife and Jamie do. Don Fernando brings authenticity to his service by taking some time to visit every table to greet clients. His red wine is worth to try, and our favourite must have tapa is ‘Chicken Croquette’. It just melts in your mouth, and the aioli sauce is homemade! Also, if you love Paella, they make the best Paella in Toronto! Lastly, you are all very special to us. Thank you for all the love you give us every time we come to your restaurant. Eliana & Ivan ❤️

Simply spectacular. Food is out this world, service is fantastic, wine is great. If you want a great night in a great place just go there. And Chef Fernando Garcia will always see you out and thank you after your dinner....so cool.

Sergio Escalona

We LOVE this place, and going out to eat is our favourite past time. We are definitely picky. The food is fresh, authentic, Spanish cuisine, and the customer service is impeccable. We have been here so many times, are always happy, recommend Lavinia to everyone, and will always continue to come. (I am also not the type to take time to write a review, but feel they deserve it). :)

The best Spanish restaurant in the city.

Understand if you want to experience an evening of mouth and service explosions but have not in a while or don't know what that is then it's time... The Chef looks like the gentleman in the commercial where he is described as the most interesting man in the world except now he is the Chef of La Vinia. Enjoy.

nafisa mansure

The food was good. The service was very good . But our waiter be though polite and efficient was rather cold. We saw him chatting and friendly on the other two tables though. Wonder if this was racism

miranda garrod

I have been waiting to dine here for years but drop ins are impossible as they are usually quite booked. My boyfriend got us some reservations for V-day and I was super excited. We are huge foodies, and love trying new places. Upon entering we got some negative energy from the server/host. Nobody had any food either which was odd. We arrived 5 minutes early and caught some attitude for that as well. Nobody tried to take our coats or smile, it was just awkward. Now I'm not sure what the heck happened with the food but it wasn't good. We kind of just wanted to leave. I love shrimp so I obviously ordered that, they were so overdone. Then the scallops were raw in the middle. Nothing had much flavour! It just wasn't a good time. I sensed some strange pretentiousness from the servers (all but one woman.) I think it was a "one-off" but there's plenty of other places I'd rather go especially on a special day like Valentines.

We have been to LaVinia multiple times, the food is always delicious and the servers are extremely attentive. Always recommend to friends and family.

Hanna Joseph

Amazing food...loved the crab cakes and my husband loved the seafood paeia

Mark Nesbitt

Super Spanish food, authentic, delicious and reasonably priced. Good selection of paellas, tapas, some pasta and meat dishes. I had a saffron rice dish with calamari, scallops, shrimp and fish - fabulous (and large enough that two could happily split one serving after an appetizer or salad starter). The only rub is a wine list without many choices under $60 and almost nothing under $50, so factor that into your thinking and budgeting. Very professional service, and an attentive chef who is concerned about your satisfaction. We'll be back.

Remi Meleqi

This is the best Spanish Restaurant in town,,,best seafood paella, best tacos...heaven place... Thank you chef Fernando & Jamie for delicious food....you are amazing Remi M

Selena Stapleton

This place is absolutely delicious! All the dishes are so tasty and cooked with love. A little on the pricey end, but the quality of food is a splurge that is well worth it! We go here for a lot of special occasions. Fernando (owner and chef) is so kind and personable, he feels like an old friend. Try the shrimp in saffron cream sauce, you will be hooked!

We had the most delicious meal last night when we ordered takeout from LaVinia Restaurant. The depth of flavours is just wonderful. We have been ordering takeout from other restaurants, but this was an experience. The Paella Valencia was delicious, flavourful, but the Boquerones en Vinagre was phenomenal. It took us right back to our trip to Spain. If you want to experience food and flavours, I definitely recommend ordering from LaVinia. Delicious.

My husband ordered paella dish and while the quantity was sufficient, he felt like the flavors were lacking. My shellfish stew was again good in quantity but salty. Taste is subjective but giving my opinion. Also we were charged 18% gratuity for 2 people table. Is this normal ? I have only experienced this for a group setting. The server was professional but unfriendly but maybe that's his vibe. There are lots of good reviews but based on my experience, l would not go again.

S M

Excellent. recently ordered takeout for my birthday. Although it wasn’t as nice eating it at home because the food got a bit cold by the time we got gone, the food itself was excellent. If I had a deeper wallet I’d order from here more often! My elderly parents were so happy with the meal !

kasthuri Dan

I went here 1 month ago. I would have given 1 star but the service was great, so I gave 2 stars. I didn't like the food. We took 1/2 the food home and ended up throwing it. It was pricey, but I usually don't mind the price if the food is exceptional. I was very disappointed, I went there because the reviews were good. The server/chef were very polite. They did bring me the wrong item initially and then apologized to me for their mistake. This is what we ordered: Salmon Carpaccio and Grilled Calamari (Tapas) and Paella Valenciona and Paella de Marisco.

Nancy Guitard

the food and service is second to none ..

N P

Amazing food and amazing service. Fully recommended.

Anthony Martin

Amazing tapas, wonderful atmosphere. Service was excellent. We had the halibut and it was done to perfection. The sangria we ordered was excellent too and they even brought me a spoon to get at the fruit.

gabriel bensusan

Owner and Chef Fernando Garcia will never stop amazing us with his authentic Spanish cuisine. Great tapas selection, fantastic and generous serving of Paella Valenciana, Veal ( beef of the day) tender and delicious. Paired with a full bodied Tempranillo suggested by Jaime, it was the perfect food celebration for my Wife's birthday. Can't wait to go back there again !

Luis D.

Don't expect over the top presentations or dishes using the latest trending technique for no reason. This place is about flavor, tradition and respect for ingredients. Toronto needs more authentic fine dinning restaurants like this one, and more chefs like Don Fernando. 5 stars plus one more for being unique.
