This little Spanish restuarant is tucked inside a small plaza a block north of Yonge/St Clair. The atmosphere is quite intimate.
The apps or pinchos were small packets of disinct flavors. The supergilda was a savoury sardine-based pincho that opened your appetite for the upcoming courses. The croqueta of jamon was a bit too creamy for me, but I can see how someone would prefer that.
The red fife wheatberry salad tasted fresh, but it was drenched in argan oil, which drowned out the taste of the other vege/fruit components.
The sliced jamon or ham was amazing. Definitely get a plate! The ham had a good balance of fat and lean meats and you can just feel the flavour sink into your tongue.
The grilled octopus was the winner. It was not chewy nor did it taste fishy. The meat was cooked to a tender state with the smokeness coming out in every bite.
Our server recommended an off menu item, the roasted quail. However, there was nothing special about it. Very medicore.
Overall, the service was good for a resturant in its price range. Come here if you are willingly to indulge in some decent Spanish food!
