Bar Isabel - Reservar una mesa

I've been a few times and know that the only thing I have to have each time I go is the Basque cake. It's hard to describe how this cake is better than whatever cake you are use to and it might not be better, but it's so good and so different there is no denying it. Going just for the cake seems a little extreme so unless you are in the area, I would suggest supplementing your cake with the tasting menu. Unlike other restaurants, this isn't a set menu. The waiters and waitresses will ask you what you like and tailor the menu to your tastes! Therefore, the tasting menu can change every time you visit based on what you are feeling. Personally, each tasting menu experience has been slightly different and delicious.

We enjoyed the snow pea leaves dish the most, but it was given a run for its money by the pan con tomate, quite hardy and decadent for its healthy sounding name. We also enjoyed the jamon croquetas and the cod with artichocke hearts quite a lot. The patatas bravas were well flavored, but not cooked optimally. The cheese plate was disappointing with small slices of three ordinary cheeses. My glass of sherry was the smallest I was ever served.In summary, though, I would come back here if I were in Toronto. The place is a lot of fun with a good sized group sharing all these different tastes.

It is a creative western Mediterranean food, neither Portuguese nor Spanish. There is no particular theme to the food, as I think it is meant to be like tapas: a piece of meat here, a morsel of fish there. At the end of all of these dishes, one still feels one has just finish with the bar, and wanted a real dinner.The one impression that stays with me was that the place was very dark, uncomfortably so.

A group of 6 of us had dinner at Bar Isabel and it was excellent. Very close to what a true Spanish Tapas restaurant is like and great food to match. It is a bit difficult to navigate the extensive menu so rely on your waiter to guide you through what can be a very nice meal. This is a very active restaurant and reservations are a must but if you like sharing great food it is well worth your effort.

I was there for dinner after a long day in Toronto, walking around! You have to keep in mind, this is a bar and restaurant. Therefore, we didn't have a reservation and we sat at the bar. The food is great, the service is great however, it is a bit noisy - you have to speak loud if you want to be understood..it is a bar!
