Authentic tapas place though the lovely owner is Liverpudlian and the chef German! Simple authentic decor. Very quiet on our visit but understand it’s full to the rafters in the evenings. Inexpensive freshly prepared dishes, very flavourful and enjoyable.

Very welcoming and attentive staff. Cold meat and cheese selection was very tasty, we ordered 5 hot tapas as well but unfortunately these were not authentic Spanish plates imo, sorry to say but they were very bland and not the best quality. Theyre trying to be Spanish but not pulling it off. Not for us.

This restaurant has the potential to be very good, and perhaps back in it's day it was. In 2024, I feel that where the atmosphere of authenticity is warm and cozy, the food was nothing to get excited about. The owner is a nice man who made efforts to speak with each group of dinner guests in the restaurant, so for that I tip my hat. I just feel it's a restaurant that is in need of a new head chef as apposed to the owner running the helm. I can't say the food was bad as such, rather I would describe it as average food you would get when visiting family and not necessarily at a restaurant by a trained Spanish chef. It was over priced for what was presented. I hope the owner(s) read the comments here as it seems to be a general theme. We all want you to do well, but some changes are needed in order to keep your diners returning for more.

Very cozy family-run restaurant. I’m from Europe and I was surprised to find this place as it really reminded me of my time in Barcelona. Food tasted really good and their combo menus were well balanced and filling. And I loved their sangria! I went there for my Valentine’s dinner and it was a great choice!! The owners create a very friendly atmosphere and give you explanations about the food and the way the sauces are made and the history of their restaurant. Totally recommended!! I will come back for sure!!

We went for Winterlious and the paella was not even close to be good. It was just some fried rice with seafood. The rice they used seems to be just minute rice and whole dish has nothing to do with paella. The presentation was bad as well, looks like cheap buffet food in a plate.

I read not good reviews about the restaurant and I wanted to try by myself and I was very disappointed with the "Spanish " food and the presentations . I am familar very well with the Spanish cuisine, but in this restaurant the paella is more like with the Chinese food , but not Spanish paella, very bland, I could not taste this food at all. Some are okay, but if the restaurant position yourself with Spanish restaurant the chef must prepare the real Spanish food.

We were there for Winterlicious and we were really hoping to find great Spanish food in Toronto. The atmosphere was great and the staff were friendly and helpful and attentive. The food was, however, just OK. We ordered one of each of the price fixed Winterlicious menu items. They tasted OK but very bland. We were all used to the very flavorful Spanish food from the likes of California. Their paella/saffron rice were more like Chinese fried rice and also very bland. The best dish was their calamari appetizer. I really hope the owners would do something to spice up the food more and make it more flavorful.

First time to order take out dinner. my BF and I They offered great customer service and explained everything from the menu, sizes and preparation. We ordered the main course paella chicken, 2 people can shared, the rice was tasty, I also ordered the san sebastian soup and omg!!! Was amazing flavour you wont be disappointed, is a seafood soup i love it!!! I also ordered shrimp ala diabla tapas and it was good really tasty as well. It comes with some bread too and it was really good experience, my bf enjoyed it and i was happy to try it something new for new year.. For sure you won’t regreat it. About the prices . Prices are high, I assumed because of the area, but each dish is a delicacy of gods.. Tapas means appetizers , so some dishes are small. And paellas main courses are good size to share for 2 people.

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of dining out at Casa Barcelona after a long dining out hiatus, and it was truly a wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in, Eddy and Nivea welcomed us with open arms, creating an inviting and warm atmosphere. Eddy, our attentive host, went above and beyond to ensure our evening was memorable. He expertly guided us through a selection of four wines, all within our budget, allowing us to choose the perfect complement to our meal. His knowledge and passion for wine added a delightful touch to the evening. Now, let's talk about the food—every dish was a culinary delight! The team at Casa Barcelona has mastered the art of creating delicious, tantalizing tapas that leave a lasting impression. The flavours were exquisite, and the presentation was impeccable. In summary, Casa Barcelona exceeded my expectations in every aspect. From the warm welcome to the exceptional wine selection and mouthwatering tapas, it was a delightful experience that I can't wait to repeat. If you're in the mood for a fantastic dining experience, I highly recommend Casa Barcelona.

A vibrant and welcoming place with a great atmosphere.. we went on a Saturday evening and I’m glad we booked as all the tables were full. We ordered 6 different tapas between the two of us which was ample as the portion sizes were plentiful for tapas…. The crab claw was the only let down as I don’t think it was fresh crab…. Other than that a lovely restaurant serving lovely food and a good selection of wine at a very reasonable price.

We had a lovely evening here celebrating a birthday with family. The food was delicious and everyone was friendly. My personal highlight was the mellow Oloroso sherry. We were lucky enough to be there when a very nice couple were playing live music. Mostly Spanish but some in English too. The vibe was perfect, gentle and pleasant and we all loved it.

What a fantastic place. Definitely the most authentic tapas restaurant we have visited in the UK. In fact the decor and ambiance had us thinking we were back in Madrid. The food and service were exceptional. The fabada (bean stew) from the specials board was packed full of flavour and was as good as Joe, the owner, described. The other stand out for us was also having pinchos on the menu. Overall it was a great experience and the place is a real credit to Joe and his staff. As we travel up and down the M6 fairly regularly we will definitely be back.

After visiting a Tapas restaurant called Chia Tapas in Lymm recently, which was exceptional, we thought we'd give this a try. On arrival, we were happy as it looked like a nice restaurant and seemed very friendly. We could not fault the staff. We were quite disappointed with the food, though. We ordered calamari, which looked like onion rings and clearly weren't freshly made. They seemed as if they were out of a frozen packet, which was disappointing. We ordered meatballs, which never arrived. We ordered a mixed salad only to be told that we'd actually ordered the mixed seafood platter. Upon realising this, we asked for it to be changed only to be told that it was too late. The mixed platter came, and the salad didn't. The platter was average, to say the least, a mixture of prawns all coated in breadcrumbs. These also looked like they came out of a frozen packet. We mentioned this to the waitress, and we said we weren't eating it or paying for the platter. This was taken off the bill without question from the kitchen. It's a shame because it looks like a lovely restaurant with a good atmosphere and nice staff, but on the whole, it felt like what we ordered was like an ultimate combo at a Brewers Fayre. Needless to say, we won't be returning.

We went to Casa Barcelona for Summerlisious. The owner pre-set menu options to menu #1, 2, and 3. He said it is easier for him. In any other restaurants, we had a choice of appetizers, main dishes, and desserts. In case, we had to follow the owner's choice to " avoid confusion." Taking our orders took 20-30 min, as we wanted to mix and match. I ordered paella and could eat it at all. It was a mix of uncooked rice, some seafood, and a lot (a lot!!!) of fried onion. I am a sensitive eater and cannot see fried onion on my plate. The paella had no taste, as it was missing saffron, salt, and any other spices. For dessert, I had churros. They were tasty but not fresh (not from today, and probably not from yesterday). I've been to many Spanish restaurants- this restaurant was by far the worst one. The service was good, and the owner told us about his life. I cannot recommend this place. At least for the summelisious, try something else.

Summerlicious ordered the paella which was flavorless, without seasoning and far from Spanish. The owner advised that in order to keep his cost down it was not his regular paella. From the look of the ingredients he must need his cost to be in the 20% range. I expected for summerlicious that they would serve smaller portions of their best food. It was replaced with a fish dish which was beautifully presented but equally tasteless. Don't waste your money. McDonald's would have been more satisfying and $140 cheaper.

I recently had the opportunity to dine at this restaurant. Being from Spain myself, while I appreciated the effort put into creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, I must express my disappointment with the overall culinary experience. Regrettably, the food failed to capture the essence of authentic Spanish cuisine. One of the main reasons I was drawn to this establishment was my love for Spanish food. I had hoped to indulge in classic dishes bursting with vibrant flavors and rich cultural heritage. However, I was sorely let down. The dishes I ordered simply did not resemble the traditional Spanish flavors I had come to expect. To begin with, the paella I ordered lacked the distinctive blend of saffron-infused rice and succulent seafood that characterizes a genuine Spanish paella. Instead, it tasted like a generic rice dish with an indistinguishable mishmash of ingredients. The absence of the signature flavors and textures left me longing for the real thing. Furthermore, I decided to sample the tapas selection, hoping to savor a variety of small plates that epitomize the Spanish dining experience. Alas, the tapas served were a far cry from the tantalizing array of flavors I had hoped for. They lacked the authenticity and attention to detail that would transport me to the lively streets of Spain. It is regrettable to write such a negative review, as I truly appreciate the effort put into creating a welcoming ambiance. However, the disparity between the restaurant's reputation and the actual execution of the cuisine was too stark to ignore. If you're seeking a true taste of Spanish gastronomy, I would suggest looking elsewhere. I hope this review serves as constructive feedback for the restaurant, as I believe there is potential for improvement. With a more meticulous focus on capturing the essence of Spanish cuisine and a greater attention to detail, this establishment could truly provide an authentic culinary experience that lives up to its reputation. Please note that tastes and experiences can vary, and this review reflects my personal opinion based on my visit to the restaurant.

The service was okay, no complaints with the service. However the food was extremely overpriced for what you received. Gambas al ajillo - tasted like frozen prawns and for the price you did not get a lot Tortilla - tasted like it had been reheated in the microwave 14 flavored salad - had no flavour and was definitely not 14 different things in there, was just a wet, bland mess Muslitos - had no flavour at all (also tasted frozen) Aubergine - was a grease trap on a plate Overall, the service was great but they all looked very young (maybe underage?) which was a bit unsettling. The food was definitely not worth the price they charged and to see that they have upped their prices on their Facebook page is disgusting. How they expect anyone to afford them prices during the current crisis is beyond me. I definitely will not be coming back!

Myself and a few friends went back here after 20 years reliving a bit of nostalgia. We were greeted promptly and our coats were taken and hung up by the young lady greeting us. We really enjoyed the home atmosphere and indulged in a winterlicious meal. We chose from 3 dinner options and really enjoyed the meal from start to finish. The sangria was delicious! They were short staffed still feeling the effects of COVID but did everything they could to make us feel comfortable and the time given us to eat in between courses was perfect. Didn't feel rushed to eat fast and get out. The owner made time to come to our table and tell us a couple of stories. Still loved this place even after so long.

For Winterlicious dinner. ONLY ONE WAITRESS, who didn't speak English, so changing calamari to shrimp took 20mins. Shrimp was way overcooked for the paella. Unfortunately, the only waitress also fainted (ambulance came and everything). Owner didn't know how to operate the billing machine so all customers had to be their own waitress basically. Overall, not enough staff for Winterlicious nor a great experience.

Let’s start with the positive. Ingredients were fresh and the wine was fine. The dishes tasted good but not great for what we paid. $60 paella per person should be in the $30-40 range imho.

My husband and I paid $35 each for what they called a special that served us a small child's plate, so since my husband was obviously still hungry I mentioned to the owner that the plate was super small so he said he'd fix the problem and he offered he could make him a bigger full plate, but to our surprise he charged us $40 for a regular size plate of lots of rice and some pieces of beef in a stew. Needless to say my husband was very unhappy. The food was good but everything was so deceiving. We first got someone else's receipt as we were being charged for half a little of wine plus our meals and some extras we never ordered, than he changed it to over charge us with $40 dollars of which at the very max it might of cost him $7 to make.

We had a lovely summerlicious lunch outing at Casa Barcelona. Clean and nicely decorated establishment Staff was welcoming & hospitable. We enjoyed everything we ordered but the only thing that would have made the experience top notch is if they allowed patrons to choose what they liked from the special menu for each course (app, main, dessert). Instead, had course #1-3 combinations preset already (they did allow dessert to be subbed but appetizer and main had to be the two that they selected). I’ve never seen that done during winterlicious/summerlicious.

The closest thing to authentic Spanish food (mainly Castellano to me) in Toronto I ever had in 7 yrs. Their Paella are truly cooked in the Spanish way. They actually have many types of paella. Read the menu first, the owner has been changing and accumulating dishes to adjust to the taste of general Canadian customers. If they explicitly name it as spicy paella , and you still take it, don't say it is too spicy. Octopus was great. I was a bit disappointed that they do not sell cold tomato soup, a traditional Spanish appetizer anymore just because it doesn't suit the taste of general Canadian customers. But the altered version with mango was great. Customers are entitled to post both negative and positive comments. But the comments have to be fair. To those who said this restaurant isn't authentic enough or it is outdated , do your research about Spanish food culture and tradition first. Authenticity does imply a high degree of following tradition. You can't just keep the food "authentic " but change everything else. It is the whole package: the foods and the environment. Serving green tea in Starbucks or McDonald's doesn't make the drink "authentic" even if the tea powder was imported from Japan. I listened to the story of the owner about how to keep altering the traditional dishes just to survive the business while looking at my Spanish tortilla that was supposed to be egg and potato cake being reduced into another western omelet........ I felt his frustration and realized why it took me 7 yrs to look for Spanish restaurant. Because the demands of some unreasonable customers killed many authentic Spanish restaurants over the years. But if it is what the market like, we can't do anything. But at least be fair. You said you wanted authenticity, they delivered it then you said you don't like it. They tried to change the way you prefer, then you say it isn't authentic.......... You can post and say what you like but pls be fair.

I ordered a paella and I was totally disappointed, 100%, it had no flavor, it was in the paella pan stirred up when the paella is not stirred, I realized very late, because while they were preparing it there was no aroma in the sea food restaurant, I ordered Garlic Bread and the bread was not a tasty baguette, it was such a soft bread, like Subway, with garlic butter, super soft, not to my liking, and the Spanish tortilla, it was not a Spanish tortilla, it looked like a crepe with onion, also had no flavor. My companion ordered Angus Beef, it was the only good thing. I immediately went to buy an ice cream in other place, I lost my money so and imagine that I play poker, what a bad paella! because additionally it is very expensive.

One of the best Paella I have ever tried in Toronto, the owner is very friendly and easy-going. Everything within the restaurant will just bring you to Spain.

Probably the greatest Spanish Restaurant in all of GTA! The chef comes out to greet guests during dinner, the owner also makes you feel like you are in his home. Amazing experience, we truly felt we were in Spain!! The food....FANTASTIC!!

The owner of the restaurant was very offensive, he says that people from the Dominican Republic, Greece and other countries are ""disgusting"" dirty etc. For my part and my family we will make this known at all levels that we can, TV, social networks, etc. things like these we can never allow to happen. . I would like to point out ,his wife is very professional, polite and kind person.

From the moment I booked a table, the service was incredible. We visited for my boyfriend’s 40th birthday and made arrangements with them in advance for decorations etc and they surely delivered. They were so amazing, and the food is the most authentic I’ve tasted...

The prices are ridiculously high. We ordered a Spanish tortilla which is a staple and main dish in Spain. We looked at it and almost laughed. It was a flat bland egg pancake with sliced potatoes on top. Unbelievable for a Spanish restaurant!! We ordered a paella for one person ($60) and could barely find the rice, good amount of seafood but it didn’t taste very good. The food was so disappointing..never again

This place is super outdated in many ways- decor and food stand out the most. Decor looks like it hasn't been moved, replaced, reupholstered, or cleaned in the 25+ years they've been open. Ordered a small tapa style paella, and noticed the old and off tasting mussels in my paella. I took a bite but had to spit it out. Took a while to get the attention of the server who finally passed by. Asked for the bill right after, and it included the food I sent back right away... had to ask them to adjust it. No explanation, apology, or trying to make my experience better.. Long story short, I'd rather check out any other restaurant in the world than come back.. how this place has been open this long boggles my mind. Really bad experience overall. Two thumbs down. 👎👎

Called by chance for pre theatre tapas. Impressed by both quality and portion size. Authentic food and surroundings and the service was friendly and efficient. Top marks and we’ve already booked our next visit.

Really great food. You also get a good amount of food. Highly recommend the seafood dishes and meatballs. My only very small critique would be no one coming round when I was after another drink. It was quiet as we were early.

A vegan and two non-vegans, we shared a fantastic selection of tapas. We have not had tapas since a trip to Barcelona in 2007! Will be back at Casa Pepe Tapas again.

Very disappointing. Where to start??? We ordered the set menu (tapas) for two $100 along with an extra tapas (appetizer). They did not bring us any water. They did not bring any bread. Our extra tapas (appetizer), they brought at the end of the meal with the bread because they forgot about it. They forgot one of the tapas, until I mentioned it and they did not bring the right dessert. We asked for salt and pepper because the meal was bland. The pepper came in the plastic bottle that you pick up in the grocery store. Not classy. We also received someone else's bill. Poor service. The dinner for two is only enough for one person. Needless to say we both went home hungry.

Was so excited to try their paella 🥘 but unfortunately it wasn't that good it was burnt on the bottom and over priced. I must say the paella at Costa Verde is better!

Superb dish, love their house paella. The seafood was cooked right, tender and juicy, and a big portion. The tapas are good too, if you like pickled sardine, order boquerones. Manchego cheese, hamon, and homemade chorizo which wasn't salty. I would dine here again, this place is highly recommended to all people that wants to have a delicious spanish paella.

Ordered a couple of the restaurant's tapas dishes for lunch following an eye examination. The waitstaff was super attentive and friendly, particularly the owner and chef. The food – croquettes, chorizo, patatas bravas, chicken with mushroom sauce – was all quite good. The chorizo in particular was excellent, and apparently made fresh by the restaurant. This restaurant has been in the neighborhood for 25 years and I can certainly understand why.
