   Everything about the experience at Madrina was amazing. We elected to go for tapas. Every plate was a visual and oral delight. The service too was excellent and the complimentary sherry with dessert was unexpected but appreciated. A well deserved Michelin star restaurant. Can’t wait to go back.

   Food was outstanding, great vibe. Drink service was unacceptably slow.

   Amazing experience, first time at this restaurant with my partner and the whole staff really made the experience great. The food tasted delicious with amazing presentation, I got to experience the drinks being made first hand and it was really amazing. I want to thank especially my waiter Dayne and manager Ishaan for making it extra special. :3

   Great service even though it was clearly a busy night. Food and drinks took a little longer than usual according to our server but we didn’t even notice. The food was outstanding (especially the oxtail buns) and the drinks were delicious. Definitely recommend and we will be returning! Can’t wait to come back for patio season.

   Just by a pure coincidence, I booked a table here bc another restaurant was fully booked. WOW, what a find! A Michelin 2024 plaque! The welcome, the service, the quality of the food and not to mention the extensive wine list. Wines that are not available at the LCBO,ended up buying 2 bottles to take home. A perfect place to have a light meal pre-theatre. We will definitely be back with a group of friends.

    Amazing upscale spot for modern Spanish food. Everything was super tasty and beautifully presented. Special kudos for the kids menu which is as nicely done (and sometimes a weak spot in even the nicest places)
