Best Spanish restaurant ever. I used to go to a couple of Spanish restaurants in Toronto, they were good, but not as good as LaVinia. The moment you walk in you feel you are part of the LaVinia family. The staff is very friendly, and even the Chef comes out to check how’s the food. I’ve been in Spain several times, and LaVinia brought me back to those trips. Excellent food, excellent portions, and excellent price. I will definitely come back and recommend it to everyone.
