Reviews for La Bartola in Toronto, ON
We didn’t realize this place was plant based until we got here, but we’re SO glad we came. The dishes are done really... creatively, and everything was delicious. I will for sure be coming back here more often. The 10 pc taco platter is a goodoption; we got 2 of them for 4 people. All three desserts were 10/10. Read more
Great vibe but the flavours of the food was not worth it. We are fans of vegan food but Bartola did not live up to our... expectations. The guacamole lacked flavour, salt and lime. Consider adding chopped tomatoes, jalapeños and other condiments toimprove the flavour of the guacamole. We had also ordered the mushroom tostada and I would say it was average. The cocktailswere great and quite strong. Our server was very sweet and she explained/translated the ingredients very clearly tous. Overall a good restaurant but the food flavouring has significant opportunities for improvement. Read more
La Bartola Michelin Bib Gourmand Award winner is the best gourmet Mexican Vegan restaurant in Toronto and possibly in all North... America. The level of detail in every single dish and drink is a total sensory experience. This place has it all, the food,the ambience, the music, the service but most importantly the passion for food and an immense creativity in a well thoughmenu. If you ever have the chance to assist to one of their secret dinners you will take away much more than a full and happybelly and paladar. Is definitely one of the top restaurants in the city. Do not hesitate to experience your first vegan mealwith a real and wholehearted touch of Mexican Oaxacan gastronomic heritage. Read more
Michelin mentioned Mexican food. It's amazing. The menu is fully vegan and so I needed to eat more to feel full. I loved the... white mole and the hibiscus mushroom tacos. The only dish I wouldn't get again is the pineapple dessert which is too dominatedby corn flavour for my tastes. Amazing food. Amazing cocktails. Great for a special event. Read more
We came to La Bartola for an early dinner on a Saturday evening. For full disclosure, we are definitely not vegetarians and we... didn’t realize that the menu was plant-based until we were seated. Anyways, we decided to give it a try and, it was actuallyworth it! The best part was that the dishes were not trying to emulate or “substitute” meat but, the ingredients showedtheir true nature and flavors. Pair that with a selection of delicious cocktails and you have a great experience. Also, ourserver was very nice and diligent, as well as the staff that we had the chance to exchange a few words with. Read more
The place has a nice cozy vibe. There is small outdoor sitting at the back of the restaurant which is amazing. We tried the... margaritas which were specials with lichee, guava and mango flavours and it was great. We also tried the chef’s special tacoswhich came with 3 different type of tacos of 2 each so in total 6 tacos. Both, the food and service was excellent. The place isslightly on the expensive side but is a must try. Read more
La Bartola has a very unique and amazing variety of cocktails that I really wanted to learn to make and experience, so, for my... girlfriend's birthday, I asked Juan, the owner of the establishment, if he could host a cocktail mixology session for us an hourbefore the restaurant opened. Juan was kind enough to help set this up, and we can safely say that we had the best birthdaycelebration and mixing class ever. Period. The bartenders were amazingly friendly and informative with the different cocktailsand mixes, and we were even able to have a hands-on experience making the drinks. The establishment is also very beautiful andthe atmosphere is an experience all on its own. I would highly La Bartola to all my friends and family. The food I had in aprior visit was also lovely and high quality. I will be coming back to taste more! Read more
When Michelin mentions a vegan Mexican restaurant I’m surely gonna be there. And it surely did not disappoint. I travelled a... lot lately and I can surely say that the white mole here must’ve been one of the best dishes I’ve had in the past fewmonths. Seriously, still dreaming about it. Lovely service made the experience really wonderful. Great drinks and I’d evenrecommend the virgin ones. Creativity is felt in every beverage or dish. I’d also say that the hibiscus taco was my top fav— definitely the most interesting blend of flavours and textures. Will definitely be coming back for more in the future Read more
