Carmen

Went there on Tuesday night with my friends to celebrate my friend’s birthday. Food was underwhelming and everything was under seasoned(I’m not salty eater). The price was steep compare to the quality and portion of food. I went there to try the paella, and people, please find somewhere else. The paella had no flavour at all. Service was just disappointing and rude. The server didn’t really care about hospitality. I and my friends can see he hates his job from his face and tone. As we order, 4 items we ordered were unavailable and I understand that happens especially for slow days. But at least they should notice us when they handed us menus. It’s just so frustrating when you order something and server says that’s sold out for 4 times. What a waste of time and money.

We just left the place terrified. We told the waitress that the chicken tasted old in the paella and she said to us Oh I'm sorry If it wasn't reheat properly 😱😱 It is a paella, it should be fresh specially If it cost us $65. We didn't even ask for a discount of anything just wanted to leave. If you don't know about quality food it probably can trick you, but their food is pure garbage recycling ingredients. We are totally disgusted .

The food is tasty, the atmosphere is cozy, but the portions are way too small, especially for the hefty price.

One of my favorite Spanish restaurants. The must-haves are the Carmen seafood paella and charcuterie. Been here more than 5 times with friends and family. There are usually less people for dinner time but getting crowded at late night for bar and small bites.

This is by my place and we go here as a treat occasionally since good paella is hard to find. Great drinks and tapas. The paella is usuaslly well done but it can be inconsistent. Presentation on the paella is excellent though and the shellfish is typically expertly cooked, which can also be hard to find in Toronto. Sometimes, however, it is missing the crunchy rice entirely and last summer we had one with an entire corner of the paella inedibly burned. Those two details are the only reason I am not giving a 5. Service and selection are always great though. Worth a visit.

Good place for a large group. Nice tapas menu. We tried all three paellas! Nice that they had a vegetarian one since we had two vegetarians in our group. The black paella was best. Exquisite!

Nice atmosphere and server was lovely but the menu is overpriced in my opinion and quality varied from dish to dish. Starters were good but $12 for two small baskets of bread? We went specifically for paella and I would not recommend it. Good spot to grab a nibble but would not for full dinner. A coworker had a similar experience there recently and should have heeded his warning.

Everything was amazing. Spanish ambience, delicious food and nice drink selection. Price is on the higher end but perfect for a special occasion.

It’s a very Spanish cafe shop, the latte was really good, the coffee bean smell very good and food was amazing, the place is very good for hangout with friend.

Great little Spanish tapas place. I took my mom for her retirement dinner. Potato bravas is excellent crispy and flavorful. Steak was great and my fave dish of the night. The cauliflower with hummus was ok. The clams and mussels with squid ink pasta was delicious. Carmen paella, was a nice finish but not the best paella I ever had. Still very delightful place to eat casually with family and friends. I recommend this place.
