  • Bar Raval is one of my favourite spots. It's a great place for lunch with friends or a night out for snacks and drinks. The vibe is much more casual than its sister restaurant Bar Isabel and is mostly standing room at bar tops, especially if you come at night. I think some people don't like this, but I've spent a lot of time in Spain and a lot of tapas bars there are usually standing only so I quite enjoy it. There's a small patio during the warmer months but the interior is gorgeous, full of warm curvy wood that looks like it was inspired by the Spanish architect, Gaudi. Now on to the food! They have a tapas menu so expect smaller dishes. Your best bet is to order several and share with your friends. I always order their tomato bread, a simple dish of great bread and a generous amount of crushed tomatoes. Their croquetas are perfectly fried, light and delicious. Their pintxos (crostinis) are all great, try the boquerones which is a cured white fish or their morcella (blood sausage) and egg. The hot octopus is great too, and is usually order some plain bread to dip and sop up the oil. They change up their menu occasionally and a few weeks ago I had a grilled squid over squid ink rice that was super delicious! They have some cured meats, cheese and premium canned seafood imported from Spain as well but I tend to stick to the hot items. Although if you've never had jamon iberico or manchego cheese, you should definitely give them a try. And don't forget to save some room for their basque cheesecake for dessert! It's creamy and slightly lighter than American style and it's my favourite cheesecake! They have some unique beers, a good selection of wines and usually a few ciders. There's also some standard coffee based drinks as well. Additional to their regular menu, they always have some pastries and mini sandwiches along their bar as well so it's great for brunch on the weekend as well. Their donuts are so good! It doesn't seem to have the same brunch line up craze as a lot of Toronto hot spots which is a bonus. My guess is maybe it's due to how their menu is still their regular tapas style menu instead of classic brunch plates with your usual egg and pancakes options.
