About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Charming
Good for special occasions

With a relaxed, refined atmosphere, La Palma is the perfect spot to catch up with a friend over drinks, dine with your lover for dinner, or celebrate your most special occasions with family. Chef Craig Harding's food is Italian at heart but the menu at La Palma reflects a California sensibility and remains playful, reflecting dishes and ingredients from other Mediterranean cuisines and cultures. Whether you're grabbing take-out for an impromptu picnic in the park, or enjoying a patio dinner with a view of sunlit Dundas West, La Palma has you covered.

For parties of 6-9 we strongly recommend our Family Style's Chef's Menu. This multi-course meal includes several dishes from our a la carte menu plus exclusive off-menu items--most of the dishes are served family style, as our menu was created with sharing in mind!

100 layer lasagna was really good. Flat Iron was just ok. The cocktails were the problem...the lemon drop was missing something like it wasn't good at all. The cocktail menu wasn't impressive.

We dined at La Palma last night and I can confidently say it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in the city in a very long time. We were a party of 5 and ordered pretty much everything on the menu! Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! The service was equally impressive! The staff struck the perfect balance of attentiveness without being overly familiar, ensuring that we were well taken care of throughout the meal. I can't wait to go back!

First time at La Palma. Beautiful ambience, great service, food was delicious. We tried the burrata, which was a bit disappointing portion wise and too salty. Showered the Brussels sprout were to die for!! For our main meal we had the 100 layers lasagna.. A must try !! Will definitely go back:)

We always choose to dine at La Palma for our special occasion (6 years and counting). This time exceeded our expectations. There was a small hiccup with one of our orders but was swiftly addressed and taken care of and the staff, especially Chris, went above and beyond for us. We are always blown away by the quality of food and service at La Palma and will be visiting again year after year.

The space is nice, the pasta is really great. Our waiter came off as sarcastic and prickly- it was an unpleasant experience. Also, I got the impression that they wanted us out quickly - this is not the place to come to if you want a relaxing dinner with friends.
