Some local friends took me here for a late lunch and sneaky drink on a sunny afternoon, and we'll put it out there- they nailed it.
Bar Raval is hands down one of the most beautiful bars I've ever been in, literally. Drawing inspiration from Gaudi, and in partnership with a local Toronto design agency, the bar is filled with curves of carved wood and feels like Barcelona.
The food is small tapas, everything was delicious and serves were reasonable, but if you are looking for a giant meal it could get pricy. Most unexpectedly delicious item ordered was the mushroom tower- not something I would usually order but they were garlicky and lemony and I'm legit drooling not just thinking about it.
The drinks menu is also great- we tried a few of the house specials of vermouth with cava, which went down great.
Staff were delightful and very helpful with recommendations.
