Great place to bring a special someone for sure.\nOn Sundays, Toca just introduced a Tapas menu $45 will include unlimited cold and hot tapas. You also receive a main course and dessert. What a deal. Now let's see how it tastes.\nEach course is served on a sheet of slate stone.\nCold tapas: Tuna tartar - fresh firm tuna cubes that go so well on top of a bed avocados and spices puree. Best tuna sashimi eaten in Toronto! I had a 2nd order.\nGrilled Foccacia - with figs and italian meats. Savoury, so tasty.\nCrab salad - Less sophisticated than the other 2 - finely chopped and mixed with Mayo. Not too rich, not too salty (as typically so when done this way). Spread on the crustinis or the fresh-baked bagettes.\nHot Tapas- Frie Gras Croquettes - You get one (size of a thumb). Good but nothing special.\nStew Pearl Potatoes, Chrizo, Peas and Eggs - nice combo of ingredients. Very yummy and best of the 3.\nVichyssoise - Rich and cremy. probably good but not a fan.\nMain Course - Seared Branzino - a fresh water fish with delicate texture. Capers, lemon and thyme flavour accentuates the fish. Brussel sproat leaves complete the taste. Excellent Fish!\nDessert - Pear Frangipani - So full already. Poached pear on filo pastry. 3 small Marscapone cheese spheres can be added or not.\nOverall, service is top notch - Classy, knowledgeable, not pushy. Toca, you won my heart and my 1st 5 star rating ever!"^^ . "1"^^ . . "1"^^ .
