Tapas Restaurants near Scarborough, ON

“It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming. The staff, Tommy , who is very polite and warm welcome customers. Great place for friends gathering and chatting. Definitely will go again.“

“Immediately felt comfortable and love the cozy lighting and atmosphere. We didn't feel squeezed in, despite the cozy size. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and made a killer martini. We had the chips du jour (so good we ordered more to go), the tar tar which was sumptuous, cavatelli with mushrooms and the short rib (savoured every bite). We'll be back to try the rest of the menu.“

“Food is so authentically good!“

“This place this everything!!! Excellent food, amazing staff and an overall experience that rocked our world! ❤️❤️❤️“

“Picked up last two tamales from the freezer section .. had them couple days later.. put them in a steamer (don’t like microwaving) and served with salsa with avocado… bit of hot sauce… honestly… it transported me back to Mexico.. they were filled with chicken and veg and were totally delicious. Best tamales this side of the Rio grand!! $4:95 each and worth every penny!!👍🏻👍🏻 two thumbs wayyy up!!“

“Tapas and Paella along with the captivating Flamenco weekend show makes for a great night out.“

“Visiting Toronto and we found this hip place. Servers were nice, food was good, drinks were amazing! Sake Bomb!!! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“We had the best experience at Madrina. We ordered the 11 course tapas with wine pairing. Our server Mays was knowledgeable, entertaining and prompt while servicing our table inside and tables outside. The manager, Ishaan checked on us frequently making us feel at home. When you consider the amount of courses and wine the price point was more than reasonable. We highly recommend this restaurant. Paella for the win!“

“I can’t say enough about our stay. I came to Toronto for surgery and had anxiety about the stay. They reached out to me numerous times to make sure I had a smooth stay. They even accommodated another night on short notice due to some complications that I had. Taylor, Nisha, Luis and everyone we came in contact with were stars in my books. They went above and beyond for my stay and I can’t thank them enough. Also the basket of bath products with a thoughtful letter was just lovely and blew me away. Have already told many people about this hotel and definitely will be back! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sabrina C“

“We had a wonderful dinner at Kingyo Izakaya! The service was amazing, the food was presented in such lovely, creative ways and was delicious! We will be back! Thank you for a great evening!“

“My partner and I came to celebrate our anniversary and we had a fantastic time! Food was delicious, probably one of the best Italian places in the city, actually way better than some well known places. Loved the cozy and comfortable vibe yet their menu is really appealing. I would highly recommend“

“It was a truly excellent meal, and a unique dining experience. I felt like I was back in Kobe. Fantastic service and very friendly. Highly recommended!“

“We were very impressed with the sound quality of the venue. It was the ideal location for a performance by Sean McCann who's voice carried brilliantly throughout. He is a wonderful entertainer and human being.“

“Cheap and cheerful food before the Leaf game. Cheapest beer in the Dwtn core. It is not cozy at all, being at the back of a grocery store, but close to many places to grab a beer and not have to pay an arm and a leg. It was not too busy so, might be a hidden gem for a while.“

“The place looks & feels like a proper Japanese izakaya. Some of the items on the menu are rare to find in Toronto (mentaiko, shishamo, many of the drinks) which makes it feel more authentic than most. That said, a few things were off from Tokyo-style if that's what you're expecting. For example, the chashu don used non-marinated grilled pork, the tsukune used beef not chicken, and the ika yaki came covered in a gooey teriyaki sauce (we're used to ika yaki brushed with soy sauce during cooking so it remains dry). We looked this up later and it might have been Kyushu or Tohoku style, but there's nothing on the menu to suggest it's not the Tokyo style, so I'm leaving this review to let people know.“

“Good food and reasonably priced“

“Learned about this place from Too Good To Go app and decided to come here for lunch with a friend. It is a little hard to spot since it is hidden in a small street. We heard this place just open a month ago, so might explain why the place wasn't too busy. Good for us, since we could sit by the cozy lounge area. I got the Avocado Toast, and my friend the Mediterranean Cauliflower. The Toast was super balanced and beautiful (and so much avocado!). The Cauliflower had a lot of components and was very filling. We both agreed the food was 10/10. if you coming for Cocktail, would recommend the Amethyst and the Carribean Sour!“

“Great atmosphere wonderful staff awesome food!💖“

“Not a bad note at any time. Monica is a very good server who is knowledgeable, engaging but not smothering. There when needed. The food is inventive and so tasty. Small bites. Two of us ordered five dishes and loved them all. The sommelier, Tessa, makes an amazing Arancello (better than Limoncello)! Her wine list is interesting and extensive, covering most types and regions, but we would have liked more bottles from Ontario, although the ones provided are all really good. We shall be back.“

“Tea Leaf Salad is truly unique and delicious. Personable staff. Beautiful and serene atmosphere.“

“I recently visited Clockwork for a beautiful tea for a close friend's big birthday celebration. There was a great selection of teas and delicious treats, including gluten-free and nut-free options for those with dietary restrictions. The atmosphere was perfect, and everyone had a wonderful time. Before the tea, I emailed Elise to make sure everything was perfect. She was very lovely and accommodating. The staff members Gemma and Leah were nice but also incredibly attentive, making our celebration even more special. The whole experience was great. I would highly recommend it!“

“Friendly atmosphere. A fine dining place for all kinds of occasions which is highly recommended. Their cuisines are excellent from brunch to diner👍👍“

“First time there place was very nice the food was amazing I definitely would recommend, only issue is the service. It was very disorganized not even sure who our server was, the guy who took our order never came back and looked down walking past us. Some of them were cool, but in total pretty bad. One thing for the double salmon Maki roll get thinner asparagus last two rolls was basically large asparagus stems in a roll. Still good just a recommendation“

“Had an absolutely fantastic dinner at Ryu Izakaya last night. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm and attentive. Our server, Josie, was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations. A truly flawless evening—highly recommend checking this place out“
