    Came here for Tapas, they were okay. For two of us, we had 4 tapas and a glass of wine each and it was $150 before a tip. We came at 5 on a Thursday and were the only people in the restaurant so it was quiet. We had a veal with mushroom and cheese dish which was the best, the crab croquettes were probably our least favourite. We love seafood but these had a very fishy taste, and the overall texture wasn’t good. The food was mediocre and was approx 20-25$ per dish for the tapas. The staff were friendly though, but we wouldn’t prioritize coming back based on the food we tried and the price range.

    Terrific menu, especially the tapas. Excellent variety. Service was top notch. Unfortunately, the room is very loud. Probably nothing can be done about this if you are looking for a quiet spot for an excellent meal. You may have to tolerate a lot of background noise from other patrons while you dine. Price is a bit high, but very tasty and well presented.

    La Vinia is an absolute gem in Etobicoke! Amazing authentic Spanish food that was absolutely delicious. The seafood paella was outstanding, rich, perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned. And to top it all off the service was spectacular!!! Will definitely be coming again and recommending to everyone!

    En aspectos generales. Todo estuvo muy bien. Debido a que era sabado nos toco esperar un poco. Para recibir la mesa. Lamentablemente el menu que esta publicado no esta actualizado

    Sooooo delicious! My husband and I ate tapas here - grilled calamari, king oyster mushrooms, a special of the day (tripe dish), avocado salad and crab croquettes. For dessert we get the cheesecake special of the day (made with Manchego cheese) and fried milk. Drinks were sangria and Aperol spritz. Service was also phenomenal - they anticipate your needs, are helpful without being intrusive, and the chef even came out to greet us and ask how the food is. We cannot wait to eat here agin and try every dish on the menu!
