Amazing!

Brian Chin

Absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Potatoes, rib eye, cauliflower all pictured below. Great cocktail list and approachable wine selection. Our server was also exceptional! Highly recommend and would absolutely dine here again.

Isabelle Gendron

Fantastic food and great service! The food was incredible, get the octopus!

Bocado offers the kind of experience you dream about for days after dining there. Each experience I’ve had has been equally as exceptional - food, drinks, atmosphere, service. Their team operates at the highest level and offers the best dining experience in the County now — arguably competing for a top spot in Canada’s best new restaurant. Don’t miss the ibérico, pan con anchovie, jamón croquettes, costillas or tuna ceviche. The Spanish fizz and Bocado martini are also personal favourites.

What a magical new addition to the County! Delicious food & cocktails and the kindest and most attentive servers in a great atmosphere. Can't wait to come back!

Jason Field

Great ambience and addition to the County. By far the best culinary experience you'll have while visiting. Highly recommended!!!

Mercedes Prevost

One of the best meals I've had In a long time. Very unique dishes all very well thought out. Definitely recommend the octopus and cauliflower from the tapas menu. The Paella is also amazing!! Service was very courteous and friendly, go check it out!!!

Stunning meal and service. Reservation booking seemless. Loved all dishes, especially the Squash Flower, Iberico (I haven't eaten pork in 9 years and made an exception for this), Cheese, Patatas Bravas. Kathleen and staff knocked it out of the park for service. Cocktail was perfect, and wine was out of this world. The atmosphere is confortable. To say that I am in love, is an understatement. I cannot wait to return. Share everything. Order everything. They opened during a pandemic and have accomplished excellence. All of the best to this restaurant.

FANTASTIC RESTAURANT IN PICTON. Four of us enjoyed one of the best (maybe even best) dinners in the County at Bocado. First great impression was the relaxed atmosphere. All dishes - and we tried many of them for sharing - tasted very good. We loved the different spices and freshness of the dishes. We enjoyed two bottles of a Spanish white wine. The dessert was the icing on the cake. As an espresso nerd myself. Their espresso was outstanding. Minor critics: The table-water seemed tab-water with a hint of chlorine. And at the end we felt a bit rushed since they wanted the table for other guests. - Regardless, we will be back.

If you can’t or don’t want to go to San Sebastián in Spain then go here. Out of the world good in Picton Ontario. Who would believe it?

Courtney Genereaux

My wife and I had dinner here on our last night visiting Prince Edward County. The food and service here was impeccable. We had the anchovy toast, dates, zucchini flowers, tuna carpaccio, seafood paella, and the florones--loved every single dish from start to finish. A must try if you are visiting PEC, a real highlight of our trip!

Laura Voskamp

Ahh, where to begin… the location, the ambience, the authenticity, the hospitality, the food and drinks ALL ABSOLUTELY SUBLIME On a weekend getaway to the county we stumbled upon Bocado for a night cap, even though the kitchen was officially closed for the night the staff was exceptionally accommodating. We enjoyed cocktails, a teasingly small bite of the freshly cut jamon iberico and fantastic conversations with staff. We were seriously impressed. So much so, the very next day we waited in line 15min before opening to secure a seat at the bar for dinner. We ate our way through the tapas menu while sipping sensational cocktails. Our favorite tapas were the tuna and, of course, the jamon iberico. Our only regret is that we couldn’t try all the items on the menu. We cannot wait to be back at Bocado! ps: our visit was almost two months ago and we are still drooling over how great it was hence this review

If you are in market for 8 cuts of thin chorizo for $6 thats the place to go. PS: you can buy two rolls for about $10 in Costco!!!

Graham Sanders

An excellent restaurant and a wonderful service! The dishes taste amazing and their presentation is also wonderful. Take note that you have to order quite a few dishes to feel full. Thanks to our server Melanie for the great experience.

Heather L

Fantastic experience overall! The food is delicious, great atmosphere and the service is outstanding. We’re fortunate to live close by, we’ll definitely be back!

James

We ate at this wonderful new resto and loved it! Sat on their small street patio and ate tapas (about 6 dishes for 2). Everything was delicious!! My fave was the zucchini blossoms and my husband's was the ribs. The prices are reasonable and the staff is very friendly. We will go back as soon as we can!

Annabel Pearce

We had such a great experience at Bocado the other night. It's beautiful, the staff was so kind and knowledgeable and the food was unbelievable. Looking forward to going back.

Shona Louis

Our dinner at Bocado last night was definitely one of the best restaurant meals and experiences I’ve ever had. Every dish was beautiful and everyone in our group of 4 left feeling great. Special thanks to Mel for making sure we didn’t miss out on the patatas bravas! The perfect spot for a special meal.

Camille Saint-Amour Poupart

Can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. Great food and service. Always top quality

Jennifer Baird

Outstanding trendy restaurant in the heart of Picton! Every tapa that was brought to the table was beyond exceptional! You can’t go wrong with ordering anything off their menu. Their drinks were super tasty as well. We ended the evening with all of us sharing the churro dessert, which was actually huge! All I can say is “YUM!” Will want to try the paella next time...believe you me, there will be a next time! Also, the service was fabulous! Shout out to Melanie our server for being super friendly and offering her recommendations! You guys ROCK!

david sugarman

Amazing food, great presentation. Very small portions so be prepared to spend $$$$$

Barbara Basille

Food was average, service was terrible. Something wasn’t working when we had dinner there on Friday night. Food arrived in a very haphazard manner, out of sequence and very slow. We ordered desert but cancelled after waiting for twenty minutes or so for their daily special and a serving of ice cream. It may well be they were short staffed as they ramped up capacity but that’s not my problem. The kitchen must have been a mess for them to provide such poor service.

Shannon Carpenter

Unbelievable meal followed by unbelievable dessert. 10/10.

S Battig

really good food really good service

Tracy Baker

Highly highly recommend. Went in there second day open and tasted a variety of dishes. The zucchini blossoms were a standout! The Octopus was great, too and was lucky enough to taste a couple slices of Iberico Ham. Staff was also super friendly, particularly the bartender who mixed us some excellent cocktails and gave us sangria samples. Truly a wonderful culinary experience! Go check it out!

Bocado was so DELISH we had to book again! Each tapas was a dish to savour and the churro for dessert - the cherry on the cake! It was all SO DAMN YUM! Combine the amazing food, friendly & attentive service with a great vibe and you have an incredible dining experience worth repeating! Bravo Bocado!

Luis Rodas

Our first visit last night for early dinner. An amazing experience! Loved the decor, the atmosphere and service but most of all the food! Our server Rebecca was great!

LA P

We had an amazing meal at Bocado, made all the more so by Francis, who ably advised us on the food, drinks, and wines that best complimented one another. We had the Ibérico chorizo and Atún tapas to start, shared a Paella de Vieira for the main and split a Pan Y Chocolate for dessert. It was all perfectly prepared and delicious. Will definitely return!

Lilly Cioppa

Melanie was excellent for was very very good

Véronique Matte

Absolutely outstanding! Try the dates and the lamb ribs. Zucchini flowers and cauliflower were also delicious. Great salad too. Don't forget the order churros for dessert. Big enough to share:) Service was on-point. Very professional and knowledgeable. I will definitely be back!

Chris Thompson

I know this place is very popular, but I was not impressed to see their lack of understanding of covid rules, and the handling of meat and other food with bare hands, no gloves, by the prep person at the bar. There was also a problem with some of my food which should not happen in a good restaurant.

steve ferguson

Just had dinner at Bocado for the first time tonight. OMG, best tapas meal we have had since being in Portugal! I don’t think you would go wrong ordering anything off the menu here, the food is amazing. More importantly, the staff and service are excellent, very knowledgeable about all their food and drinks and timing of presentation is impeccable! Special shout out to our server Rebecca, she made our experience tonight very enjoyable. We will be back soon! Bill & Robin, Picton

Loved the vibe and decor. The staff were warm and accommodating. The tapas were delicious, everything we had was perfect.

Gillian Carson

We dined at Bocado just over a week after it opened, and were so impressed by the service and food. The space is chic and beautiful, and the service was impeccable (friendly and fast). The food was fantastic - it tasted just like you're in Madrid. Our favourites were the pan con tomate, jamon croquettes, blistered peppers, and the manchego and fresh grilled bread. The cocktails were also amazing! Highly recommend for a great dinner or cocktail outing in the County.

5/5 doesn't give enough credit to this restaurant or the staff. I want to give like 25/10. I had to plan a rather large dinner for my family gathering, and I can't begin to fully capture the amazing experience I had from start to finish with this fantastic group! They were able to accommodate our multiple dietary restrictions, gave great descriptions of the plates (and answered all sorts of questions), and made the entire family say "All I wanted was more of that lamb!". There are plenty of good places to dine in the county, but this is definitely in the top 3. All of us had a wonderful experience (which isn't always easy with 15 individuals), and everyone can't wait to come back, again and again! Directly to the staff: thank you for your kind, warm welcome and giving us a fabulous evening!!!

20th anniversary weekend in PEC. Took a chance that Bocado might have some room for dinner and fortunately for us, they had just had a cancellation. Our server Melanie was absolutely exceptional.( Thank you! ) She thoroughly explained everything and even made a few selections for us. As well the other servers were just as attentive. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was wonderful. What a great end to our perfect day in PEC!!

My friends and I had a meal at Bocado, just delightful. Eat bite was flavourful and different. It was beautifully prepared and cooked. Our waitress, Kathleen, was very knowledgable about each dish and went out of her way to make this a meal to remember

Incredible Spanish tapas, food is unique and delicious. On the pricier side for size of dishes but you are definitely getting what you pay for.

Yvonne Millman

One of the best meals i've ever had.

Andrew Muchan

Stuart Cameron is a skilled chef that knows his trade. If you are looking for a great PEC food experience, then I recommend dining at Bocado. Much of the ingredients were locally grown. It was evident that the ingredients are cared for, and cooked to perfection.

Garrett Moran

Absolutely amazing tapas to enjoy your night. The service is superb.

Dharsha Quintero

The food is incredible and the staff are very welcoming....can't wait to return and try more of the menu!
