Madrina Y Tapas - Toronto

From the moment we walked in, the ambience just picks you up and carries you off on an amazing culinary experience. It’s the combination of the cocktails, the food, the decor, the charm of the staff that make it so special. I only wish I could return very soon to try the rest of the menu. Every dish we tried was delightfully presented and delicious. Baby calamari in squid ink sauce grilled octopus were 2 of our favourite dishes. Also one of the most flavourful Gin Tonics I’ve ever tasted . We will definitely return next time we visit Toronto.

Excellent Spanish modern tapas, great location and beautiful decor. Keep it up!

Beautiful Space with a great<br/ <br/ Beautiful Space with a great ambiance. You have to make a reservation otherwise you would have to wait a while to get seated. Thankfully, there’s lots to see at the Distillery District to help pass time while you wait. The menu is awesome and well thought out. The bone marrow beef tartare is incredible.

We were here for a weeknight dinner while the Christmas market was on. The place was packed and we had to wait 30 minutes to be seated. We were seated at the bar and our host was polite and very helpful.<br/ <br/ He helped us with our choices and also customised a montadito to make it vegetarian for me.<br/ <br/ Apart from a couple of montaditos a chamomile soda, we had the manchego cheese cappuccino, the tortilla de patatas and crema catalana for dessert.<br/ The cheese cappuccino was an interesting dessert-ish starter... who knew coffee and cheese made such a great combo!<br/ The tortilla was nice and filling and the montaditos were all great too.<br/ The crema catalana... was a modern take on the traditional spanish dessert, served with an almond tuile and lemon candy. It was good, but we were looking for the traditional dessert, so this didnt sit so well with us.<br/ <br/ All in all good service, great taste, not the best value for money.<br/ <br/ Worth a visit.

My husband and I popped in this spot while in the Distillery District to grab a drink. We sat at the bar, and had amazing service from our bartender! The sangria I ordered was HUGE and absolutely delicious. We also shared a meat plate and some toasted bread with tomato spread... out of this world. Wish we could’ve stayed to have dinner here, because the menu looked fantastic.
