Tapas Restaurants near York, ON

“Best food in the city. A master of their craft. Highly recommend. The service is incredible as well.“

“Incredible. Let's just start out with the vibe. Immaculate lighting and interior, like an old library/bar with an almost romantic woodsy feel.

The service was great, attentive, all of it.

Where this place made my day, was the food. The lamb ribs were one of the best bites of food I've ever had. Don't get me wrong, everything else was fantastic, but the lamb ribs BLEW my mind.

Order 2 of them.“

“Food is so authentically good!“

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

“Amazing mixed paella (ordered ahead). As good or better as what I've had in Spain with fresh mussels, clams, shrimp, calamari, (proper) Spanish chorizo and chicken. very authentic (my 6 year old loved it also). They also recommended a nice dry white wine to go with it. Picked up some imported chorizo and manchego for later 🤤.“

“This place is such a gem! The vibe is warm, vibrant, and welcoming. Perfect for a casual night out.

Our waitress was incredibly friendly and checked in often, which made the experience even better. The snacks and drinks were fantastic, with just the right mix of flavor and creativity.

Can’t wait to come back! 😄“

“Hate that I found this place because I will only want to eat here from now on. Loved the food options and look forward to try new things in the menu. We tried the bang bang broccoli, cauliflower wings, tuna sushi roll, summer rolls, and the pasta. All delicious. Service is the best I’ve in experienced in Toronto. Atmosphere is clean and calming.“

“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“

“Accommodated allergies and dietary restrictions without compromising flavour. Really inventive and delicious menu -- every dish was a standout. One of the best meals I've had in Toronto in a long time.“

“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!!! 👍🏼👍🏼“

“Outstanding wine list and good. The Wagu sliders are a must!!“

“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!“

“We had such a lovely dining experience at Pickle Barrel!.. The food was absolutely delicious!!! .. our steak was cooked perfectly, tender, and full of flavor. A special shoutout to “LENY”our server, who made the evening even more enjoyable. She was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right from start to finish.

The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming, and the service truly exceeded our expectations. We’ll definitely be coming back soon ❤️❤️🥰🥰 thank you, Leny and the Pickle Barrel team, for a wonderful meal and great service!“

“our server tess was great. help us a lot during our visit.and food are amazing.. greast experience. we'll come back .. thanks again tess.“

“I strongly recommend the Portuguese chicken sliders! It was a small plate but very filling and affordable. The service was also 10/10 our server was very accommodating and made sure that we enjoyed and cocktails. Go here for dinner, you won't be disappointed!“

“Walked in on a Thursday evening with my wife and 10-month old (they don’t take resos for groups less than 5). Place was packed. About a 25 minute wait for a table. Service was solid - they checked our stroller and the staff felt warm and friendly. Ambience is great. Lot of fun decorations and good music. We ordered the calamari, risotto balls, gnocchi, and ossobuco. I was super excited for the food to come. It was a decent meal; just no WOW factor and the seasoning was lacking. For example, the ossobucco was meat in gravy with a couple of mushrooms — I would strongly consider serving that dish with something starchy (like mashed potatoes or polenta) for balance. I’d come back to give it another chance if in the area.“

“Great ambience, friendly staff and tasty food. Really love the beef tataki , beef tartare and salmon tartare. Ingredients are very fresh. Love the mentaiko Caesar salad; tasty and fresh. Will definitely try other selections on the menu next time.“

“This place is great for karaoke, you can sing absolutely anything you can imagine. The rooms are comfy and the food and drinks are great. Only downside is it's rather expensive (XL room is $90 per hour, minimum $15 spend per person on weekends). Also they don't allow for separate bills or individual food/drink purchases, which is kind of inconvenient.“

“Super cozy and chill spot for drinks and small bites with friends! The atmosphere is great and the server and owner were so kind. It was a great stop after dinner at a nearby restaurant, giving a chance for the night to continue with more drinks and food. Will definitely be back again to try some of the other drinks (super extensive cocktail menu) and food (lots of interesting korean fusion options!)“

“We ate here the last two nights, because we absolutely had to come back for more before leaving the city. I am so impressed with the quality of the food and the service. We will definitely be back the next time we’re in town!“

“So glad we found this wine bar! Great selection of wine by glass/ bottle, with decent seating indoor. We tried four different styles of wine, well curated by our server/ sommelier, Harleen, who is very friendly and knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed every sip of wine!“

“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!“

“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.“

Manger came to the table (before the bill) and asked what we didn't like in the octopus... and than she went to back and came back with : taking the charge of the octopus from the bill (its $59) !!!! great service !!! in very respect !!! with not even 1 word negative etc. !! amazing !!! we definitely will come back !!!!“

“Delicious food, excellent service, very cool atmosphere. I‘m not exactly the type that can afford a regular night out here but every scattered visit is truly a highlight!“

“A great hangout on a Friday night. Comfy atmosphere and top shelf service. We ordered Nagasaki jjampong and paired it with Soju, followed by yuzu high ball. It conjured memories of Omeide yokocho in Tokyo or midtown Busan. Highly recommend it if you are in North York.“

“Great family run restaurant with great service and care. Food was great and all around great experience.“

“Cocktails are always great, yes. Food is always great, yes. Service? Great. But of note: tonight I ordered a coke and not only did it come in a sexy tall glass with a gorgeous little lime wedge perched on top, it came with a BEAUTIFUL PLASTIC STRAW, not a dumb paper straw that lasts 3 minutes, no, a real thicc plastic straw circa 2015, one that had enough diameter and girth for proper beverage enjoyment, and when I tell you that that coke was the best goddamn coke I’ve ever had in my life???? I mean it with my full chest. I love you short turn“

“Sampo Snack Bar is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the warm atmosphere and friendly team make you feel right at home. The menu strikes the perfect balance between comfort and creativity—every dish is packed with bold flavors, thoughtful presentation, and top-quality ingredients.

The cocktails are just as impressive—well-crafted, balanced, and refreshingly inventive. Whether you’re there for a quick bite, a casual night out, or a late-night hang, Sampo hits the mark every time. It’s clear the team puts genuine care into everything they do.

A must-visit spot that keeps you coming back. Highly recommended!“

“Good food and reasonably priced“

“My favorite restaurant in Toronto. I would literally eat here every day if possible.“

“So glad we chose to try this Izakaya, this is by far one of the best we've tried! Flavor is on point for all the dishes we ordered. I just want to emphasize the pork belly skewers Sanmainiku as it was perfectly seasoned and grilled! Anyone wanting to try this place should make reservations as walking in might result in a bit of a wait. Will definitely go back try more of their offerings“

“Eighteen 30 is an absolute gem in this city. Love the vibe of this spot, the atmosphere is top tier; I was singing along to the tones and the food was fooding. BIGGEST SHOUTOUT to Paul; the bartender & Shanila; our server. Will definitely be back.“

“Amazing restaurant. The outdoor space in the back is great even in the winter. The sharing plates are so good and the wine selection is amazing.“

“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!“

“Stopped in after Ossfest for an unplanned dinner and we were pleasantly surprised. The food and drinks were wonderful - each dish was full of flavour and came with a hearty amount to share. I also have to shoutout our waiter - I didn’t catch his name but he was attentive and super friendly! Highly recommend.“

“This spot was a total hit! I wasn’t expecting it to be this good. I really liked the tomato cocktail they had as today’s special, it was very unique. The chicken skin was really tasty and the mackerel fish was done very well. There was also an uni udon today that I also thought was quite delicious. The price for everything was also very reasonable!“

“Fantastic night with awesome wine, cozy atmosphere and good food! Will definitely be going back here!“

“A consistently, very good neighbourhood Italian restaurant. I particularly like their eggplant parm, which has been on the menu for years.I sat at the bar, which I always recommend for solo diners. The bartender was very attentive and friendly, even though he was quite busy. Kudos!“

“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!“

“I don't know what you did but the pizza was significantly better than last time, not too much cheese and the crispy cracker like crust is perfect! Had the buschetta to start and it was rich with flavour and very fresh. The service is impeccable with attentive staff and very friendly. Atmosphere is nice with a view of the water, quiet background music not overbearing. 10/10 would come here with the family again.“

“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.“

“The go-to pizzeria in the city! Had a large order of pizzas and pasta for an event and could not be more pleased! Everyone absolutely loved the pizza! And officially my new favourite pasta place! Excellent customer service experience. And the manager Gabriella was so kind and friendly. Will definitely be ordering again soon!“

“Wonderful time at Mezzatta tonight.“

“Just had our first dinner at Alma and LOVED it! So delicious! I will dream about the fritters tonight, but also loved every dish we had. We will definitely go back“

“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!“

“We go to Corks for work lunch regularly. The food and drinks are great for the price. The atmosphere is great and quiet for conversations. The waiter Agusto is awesome and provides 5-star services all the time. He remembers all of our names and our orders and preferences. Lunch at Corks has become one of the reasons we come in to office for work!“
