    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

    @Patria amazing food, great service, great atmosphere.We couldn't decide on our menu, the manager suggested to do a few taste servings... amazing. Qualified us well and we loved every dish.

    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.

    The tapas plates and paella are some of the best authentic Spanish food you’ll have anywhere in the city

    Great date spot with the most gorgeous interior and cool art. Order the Patria Paella, the Valdeon blue cheese, Jamon, and ceviche!

    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.

    The dates wrapped with bacon, pepper filled with oxtail are too die for!!! Try their paella too - everything is just amazing.

    Everything on their menu is sharable amongst your table. Everything here is made with extensive thought and love. You won't be disappointed.

    Share plates are great except a bit on the small side. Even the rice is a bit small. Taste is great and a date spot

    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

    The hostess told us the wait was 15 mins and that they would call us when table free - when we returned 15min later they told us the wait would be well over an hour. Disappointing service.
