With a relaxed, refined atmosphere, La Palma is the perfect spot to catch up with a friend over drinks, dine with your lover for dinner, or celebrate your most special occasions with family. Chef Craig Harding's food is Italian at heart but the menu at La Palma reflects a California sensibility and remains playful, reflecting dishes and ingredients from other Mediterranean cuisines and cultures. Whether you're grabbing take-out for an impromptu picnic in the park, or enjoying a patio dinner with a view of sunlit Dundas West, La Palma has you covered.

For parties of 6-9 we strongly recommend our Family Style's Chef's Menu. This multi-course meal includes several dishes from our a la carte menu plus exclusive off-menu items--most of the dishes are served family style, as our menu was created with sharing in mind!

    My husband and I came here for our first wedding anniversary and everything was amazing! Our server, Ellen, was super helpful with food recommendations and very friendly. Everything we got was delicious, especially the broccolini, 100 layer lasagna, and vegan gnocchi!! Would definitely come back and highly recommend to all :)

    I had an incredibly disappointing experience at La Palma in Toronto. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was abysmal. It took far too long for anyone to even acknowledge our presence, and once we were seated, we had to continuously wave and seek out our waiter for attention. It was as if we were invisible. The food was equally disappointing. Every dish that came out was either bland or tasteless and incredibly small. None of the flavors were memorable, and everything arrived at room temperature — which is completely unacceptable for any restaurant, especially one that bills itself as an upscale dining experience. We asked our server if any adjustments could be made to our dishes, but they were unwilling to accommodate any requests or even offer suggestions for something different. It was as if they simply didn’t care about providing a good experience for their customers. We came here to spend our $200 Amex platinum credit and never have we struggled so much to spend $200 on a night out in Toronto in this economy. As the food was disappointing and the service abysmal, we didn’t eat much. Overall, La Palma is an absolute letdown. Mediocre to bad food, terrible service, completely over priced, and no willingness to make things right. I won’t be returning, and I’d advise others to skip it. There are far better places in Toronto that actually care about their guests.

    We had an incredible time at our annual friends dinner. We did the Family style diner and it did not disappoint. All the greatest food hits, cocktails on point, wine perfectly paired. Service was amazing. Another great night at La Palma

    Loved the platter option for our party of five. A wonderful selection of options where everyone found a favourite dish. Very comfortable, casual vibe. Wait staff attentive and knowledgeable about menu and quantities. Would love to return in the summer months to enjoy the outdoor ambiance.

    Had brunch with friends. Food was delicious and the restaurant had a very cool vibe. We had the LP breakfast with poached eggs wish they were softer. The avocado toast was delicious. And the salmon club sandwich. The homes fries were great! Would definitely go back

    The food here is always great! The lasagna is the star of the show, but over all it’s a very cute restaurant!

    This has been a GO TO spot for me for several years. But after last night we won’t be back. The server was maybe the worst I have had in Toronto. She was so bored with us and with her job, she was completely useless with wine suggestions, and graceless. Our veggie sides were terrible . The caulilini turned out to be cauliflower and was over cooked, the rapini was bitter and undercooked. The lamp was served on a bed of cold something or other. Only the apps were remarkable. What a disappointment.

    Amazing little restaurant with quality food. We came in looking for lunch but they only had brunch and dinner, we were not disappointed. I’d recommend!
