About the restaurant

At Quetzal, we celebrate regional Mexican cuisine, inspired by traditional flavours and cooking styles, all cooked over a 28 foot-long open fire that runs the span of the hot line. Traditional moles, sauces and little-known native ingredients are transported to Toronto and infused with the bounty of local Ontario and Canadian produce, for a one-of-a-kind dining experience. Quetzal is located at the corner of College & Bathurst, at the edges of four Toronto hotspot neighbourhoods: Little Italy, Kensington Market, Harbord Village, and the Annex.

Great restaurant. Food was very good and the service fast and efficient. Quite energetic and fun, the only disappointment is a rather too commercial drinks selection.

El Pocho is one of my go to restaurants when we have guests from out of town. It has great ambiance, amazing cocktails, and the food is spectacular. Because it is a small plates restaurant it is has the perfect amount of food for everyone. It is also gluten-free and I can easily take my vegetarian or vegan friends here and ensure they have a delicious meal that is more than just salad. Their sharing menu is also a great value. It is such a bonus that you don't have to make any decisions and only need to wait for the next excellent dish to come out. I can't recommend it enough when you have a group of four or more. The staff is friendly, professional and responsive. You can tell they really care about their craft and want you to have an enjoyable time. El Pocho is one of Toronto's hidden gems and one of the best summer patios. 10/10 recommend

I had my 31st birthday here this year and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! My guests and I had an amazing time and the food and cocktails were phenomenal. Our server was really nice and did a great job handling our table of 8 guests and everything came out quickly. The margaritas, nachos, carnitas tacos and plantain with feta were huge hits and the table and many of my guests ordered interesting cocktails that were well balanced and featured unique ingredients. The ambience of the place was really cool and we got some amazing photos together. 5 stars!

About the restaurant

In both 2022 and 2023, we received the prestigious Bib Gourmand accolade from the Michelin Guide, making us the first fully plant-based restaurant in Canada to achieve such a distinction.

At La Bartola, we take pride in creating an authentic dining experience from scratch. Our corn-based dishes like handmade tortillas, Oaxacan Tetelas, meticulously crafted from non-GMO heirloom corn and traditional Moles, carry the legacy of ancient recipes passed down through generations.

Every meal we serve is a tribute to the artistry and time-honoured techniques of Mexican cuisine.
Our commitment to using high-quality, traditional ingredients brings flavours to life in unparalleled ways. Each dish tells a story of dedication, honouring the cultural heritage while embracing a plant-based philosophy.

Join us on a flavorful journey where each bite is a celebration of artisanal craftsmanship, culinary excellence, and the rich legacy of Mexican gastronomy.

What a great restaurant! We were a group of 12, served by Ivan. There was really friendly service and awesome food; two in the group had to leave early, so they made sure their food was out of the kitchen first. All the dishes were tasty and the cocktails good too.
