The food and atmosphere were absolutely amazing! Our server, Victor was fabulous! Super helpful and kind. Highly recommend! We will be back. Thank you!
On general is good but it does not have air conditioner or is very low set.
La Merenda has been a family favorite for years. We celebrate everything their- from birthdays, graduations, to just another Monday night (when they have half priced bottles of wine). They buy all their ingredients locally, grow their own herbs, and have consistently delicious and amazing food & sangria! Their outdoor patio is really cute too!

The sangria and empanadas are popular choices among guests. The restaurant can accommodate large parties and is a favorite destination for celebrations. The chef, Peter, is praised for his culinary skills and hospitality. Guests have enjoyed dining on the lovely patio, which is a major bonus, and the indoor ambiance is also pleasant. While some diners have noted excellent dishes and service, others have experienced average service at times. Overall, La Merenda remains a gem, offering a nice variety of locally sourced ethnic foods served tapas style, with many dishes receiving high praise. The well-paced and attentive service allows diners to savor their meals without feeling rushed, making it a good option before attending an event at the BMO Pavilion.
