    Patria Paella is excellent, albeit a touch salty. Perfectly cooked Spanish rice infused with seafood and tomato. Feeds 3-4. Quantity of food at this restaurant was impressive given the caliber.

    They know their pig: pig's ears, bacon wrapped dates, sous vide pork flank, jamon iberico. The rib eye with an entire head of roasted garlic smashed on top wasn't so bad either.

    I had a bunch of small plates that were fantastic. Highly recommend the mushroom croquettes, the mussels pasta, the selection plate, the patatas bravas. The sangria was also to die for. Well worth it

    The maconda almonds with paprika + bacon wrapped dates are to die for!!! Amazing wine selection too- ask the bartenders about the stories of what they've been through to add more wines to their menu!

    Went with a large group and had the upstairs table. Very cool venue with a lively atmosphere. The food was pretty good with service to match. Will check it out again!

    Incredible tapas. The mushroom croquettes, empanadas, and bacon wrapped dates were "must-have" starters. And the ribeye steak was cooked to perfection. Bueno. Nom.

    Amazing tapas! The ham wrapped dates sound a little weird but are amazing. Cocktails are great too Cava Nuevo is my fave fizzy and not too sweet.

    I’ve been using 4square all around the world for years, Toronto is the only city, high rates don’t lead you to delicious food. Patria has 9/10. All foods’re mediocre. Patatas bravas was disappointing.

    Good food, but expect some serious sticker shock especially if you get into the wine. The paella and 5 or 6 starters are great for 3 people.

    Haven’t had a bad experience here yet, but if you were to get only one dish I’d strongly recommend the ribeye
