This place was absolutely amazing! I came here for my pre-birthday dinner with my friend, and the atmosphere absolutely blew me away! It was dimly-lit, setting a romantic and upscale tone. I had the Seafood Paella, and it was one of the best paellas I’ve ever had.
I have to recognize the amazing General Manager, Ana. She was such a kind soul, and even gave me and my friend free drink vouchers for the Chica bar down the street. She told me to “live my best life,” and that’s exactly what I plan to do! I will return to this amazing restaurant!

Beso is a stunning spot—perfect for a night out with friends or a date. The tapas were delicious (especially the paella!), cocktails were on point, and the vibe was warm, moody, and full of energy. Can’t wait to go back!

Beautiful place and good food. But the service was underwhelming. The servers are almost never around the tables, you’re lucky if you can find one to ask for something. On top of that, they insisted on giving extra tips after the bill was already paid, inspite of having a service charge. This behavior seemed very unprofessional and out of place for an upscale restaurant as such.

Great food and service, the seats weren’t great as we were too close to the kitchen and our dessert was late but they apologized and offer courtesy. The octopus and paella were amazing and our server was amazing too!

The portion sizes are way too small and overpriced. We ordered a $10 “snack” which was jamon croquettes. They said “the snacks were for sharing” and then served us with 2 thumb sized deep fried cheese sticks. Second appetizer was literally a piece of toast with tomato and some meat slices on top. $14 for that. So total was $24 for 2 miniature cheese sticks and a thin slice of toast with a little meat and tomato sprinkled on top. The main was terrible. The shared rice platter thing. Completely bland. Horrible portion sizing. This placed robbed me for $100 for absolutely nothing.

10/10 – A must-visit! Beso is an amazing spot for sharable food – every dish we tried was delicious and perfect for enjoying with friends. The cocktails were fantastic, and the wine list had some great picks. What really stood out was their Sherry selection – easily one of the best in Toronto. If you're looking for a vibrant atmosphere, incredible flavors, and great drinks, Beso delivers on all fronts. We'll definitely be back!

Amazing meal here the other day!! The oxtail was bonkers!!
Being Spanish, I have to say that this restaurant is quite authentic. The jamon serrano con tomato y pan brought me back to my childhood. The paella had all the spices to taste authentic. Patata bravas also cooked to perfection. I can go on and on it would be amazing of you brought the flan on the dessert menu. The ambiance was nothing less than perfection also. Nathan was our waiter. Service was amazing.

This is as authentic Spanish Cuisine as it gets. We ordered the Pan con Jamon Serrano, Croquetas de Jamon, Pimientos de Padron, Patatas Bravas, and Paella de Pollo (shellfish allergy). This was the perfect amount for 2.
The Pan con Jamon Serrano was perfect temperature for me. The addition of the tomatoe did not hurt the dish in any way, but added another layer. Quality over quantity.
The Croquetas de Jamon, same idealogy... quality over quality. Would have loved 6 for the order, but the two sufficed. Very very good, just left us wishing to have more.
The Pimientos de Padron were perfectly charred and had the right amount of salt. The lemon drizzled over them were new to me, but a welcomed flavor layer!
The Patatas Bravas were also perfectly crispy and flavorful, and the first time I have had with egg draped over the top. The wait staff asked if they could mix it for us, to which blended all the flavors together. Again a very good dish that I will be coming back for.
The Paella de Pollo was also significantly flavored with multiple layers, and like all the previous dishes, very much welcomed. Also, not sure I have ever had more perfectly done chicken.
The staff was very willing to adjust to my allergy and made sure all dishes avoided any cross contamination. This was very much appreciated.
My wife (she is from Spain) gives this place an 8/10. This is the most authentic spanish cuisine we have had here in the America's. But like every other Spanish restaurant in the America's, she is frustrated with the price. That said, I can assure it is well worth the price here. The only more authentic place I've had is in Spain itself.
We definitely found a spot we will look for when we visit Toronto again!
P.S. to the owner... if you are looking to franchise, I'd love for you to set up shop in Pittsburgh, PA!
Thanks to all the staff at Patria!
