  • I read about Bar Raval's interior space months ago and was really eager to see it and try some tapas, but unfortunately for me I'm neither hip, trendy or worldly enough to appreciate the experience. I love the interior, it was real interesting, and I felt like I was in a treehouse, But besides that, while I ate I grew to the realization that tapas are an endangered species in Canada. They are at risk of extinction since only a handful of restaurants will take a gamble and make tapas their bread and butter throughout the week but charge a plate as if it were a full size meal. (That "full" feeling you get after a few tapas isn't really you feeling sated, it's just all the fish oil and olive oil sitting in your stomach.) I'm not hip because I went on a Saturday afternoon so I didn't experience the place on a weeknight and didn't give myself a reason to order a drink. I'm also not hip because I didn't know it was a standing room restaurant. Besides my lack of an undercut and a sleeve tattoo (pardon me, I meant "personal ink"), I'm not trendy because everything we ordered on the menu or read on the menu I've either made at home before, or have seen in the grocery aisle (tinned squid in ink is $7.99 and all you have to do is possess a finger and thumb to open the tin yourself at home). Olives, Spanish olive oil, kettle cooked chips, pricey anchovies, a slice of baguette...basically a WholeFoods shopping list I'd spend my holiday bonus on. For a cheap night-in, I toss quail eggs with fresh tomatoes, onion, and basil onto some stale toast and call it bruschetta. But you know, that ain't a real tapa...just creative cooking in the dull domestic kitchen. Admittedly, I just didn't appreciate the experience or the price, and I'm too practical an oddball to agree with most of the positive reviews for this restaurant.
