Great experience from the get. Sat at the bar and served by the bartender, Joe. Very personable and navigated me through the menu very well. It was quiet in the restaurant when I got there and half way through the place was packed. The pork secreto was perfect along with the shishitos. Finished the night with the basque cake which is a must. I have been following this restaurant on Instagram since 2013, it’s my first time to Toronto so I had to stop. Cannot wait to get back here!

At a time where food costs are outrageous and many restaurants are opting to serve mediocre dishes, the food at Salt (truffle gnocchi especially) was amazing!!!!

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.
