When you want to go to a bar that changes the way you think about bars , go to Bar Raval. Why? You'll have the best time trying dishes you can't pronounce and cocktails like you've never tasted. Read more

Joanna Sable

This place is brilliant. Feels like Barcelona. Must have the charred octopus , leeks and romesco and defiantly an orange marmalade donut . Cocktails are some of the best. Flats are a must. SRO

AmateurConcierge

Great wine bar/tapas bar vibe. Pricey but delicious. Skip the iberico but make sure to get the chorizo and manchego (it has pepper and olive too), the fennel salad and the shrimp and romesco

Typical Spanish breakfast of Jamón ibérico sándwich , tortilla de bacalao and a cortado (Phil and Sebastian - Kenyan) while listening to the "Black Whales" in a Gaudí like setting with great service.

Nick Czarnogorski

The food is amazing. Mushroom Tower , Tomato Bread and Hamburgeusa are good recommendations. Of course the grilled octopus and boquerones are always amazing.

Andrea MacKinnon

This place has an incredible take on tapas and a beautiful interior to enjoy them in. Be prepared for a wait on weekend evenings and after 5 on weekdays.

Jordan M

Gorgeous art-nouveau-esque decor with massive reticulated wood wall carvings. Stunning spot for some tapas .

Second (lunch ) visit as good as the first (breakfast ); tripe stew , cale salad , good crusty bread from Bar Isabel, a great coffee (Ashley) with friendly service (Ariane).

Annuh Strange

Great breakfast joint for people who aren't looking for a traditional breakfast . Spanish ham is amazing. Chorizo with mustard . All good!!

Franz Vitulli

Fantastic beers , great tapas , fabulous interior. Stay on the outside patio if the weather is nice, too bad there's no seating (at least on a Friday evening).

Nuff

A well rounded variety of delicious tapas/pintxos, wines and cocktails . Raval somehow gets Torontonians on their best behaviour in this cosy, communal space.

Sachiko Phuong

Fascinating Cowboy cocktail , hot octopus , croquetas . The bar is a masterpiece. Casual atmosphere perfect for a date night or to catch up with friends.

Julia Lanc

The décor at this place is fab! They are very adventurous and creative with their cocktail creations, it's hard to choose just one.

Ken Seto

Shisito peppers , pork cheeks in cider and squid in pork fat . Insanely good.

Craftmenship interior woodwork. Tapas were all great. Friendly staff . Try the mini lomo-hamburger ;-)

World-class bar with great food and cocktails . Come in at 8am and try the Raval Coffee !

Loved this place! Great cocktails with a swanky cool atmosphere.

Alvin Ho

Great cocktail menu , fresh oysters , and snacks . Try an Atomic Bomb or Last Laugh on the patio for a hot summer's day.

Ross WS

A chorizo slice of warm, welcoming Spain in Canada, this curvaceous, Gaudi-styled tapas bar feeds the eye and the stomach. Sherry is abundant.

Megan Masters

Beautiful wood work on the inside. Tasty cocktails too!

RTWgirl Arnette

I spent 6 weeks in the Basque eating with chefs and I'm no expert but Raval is pretty darned good. Fact.

Ozge Y

Smooth and unique architecture with wooden details. Try the creative cocktails and the kitchen bread

Loud , busy, great energy - It's like being at a local bar in Barcelona! (except with a way nicer interior)
