Cava for some Tapas


I am sorry as I have been out of town for how long it has taken for me to put up a new one.


Took the lady to this place on Yonge just North of St. Clair that has some great Spanish tapas. I will have to say you pay for it but it is amazing.


We chose to let them bring out dishes to us to create the experience and I will break it down that way as well.


Pincho of Gamay-Poached Foie gras with Pomegranate Onions:

This was good. The onions made for a great break in the richness of the Foie Gras. The only difference I would make in the dish is a thinner slicing of the Foie Gras as it is so rich it almost overpowers.


Smoked Kingfish Ceviche with a Frisee Salad:

This was served with some corn chips that you can pile on. This was light and refreshing with that kingfish taste. Had to ask for some more chips to finish it.


Grilled Squid and Fingerling Potatoes Green Onions and Romesco:

This was amazing. The squid was perfectly grilled being crispy and tender at the same time with not being chewy. the sauce was incredible. get this for sure


Line-Caught Albacore with Jamon Serrano Oyster Mushrooms and Tarragon:

This was alright. Interesting mix of flavours but I thought it was a little to busy.


Venison Anticucho with a Warm Red Cabbage Salad:

Amazing meat. Was tender and juicy and melted in your mouth. Adding some of the cabbage to it was a perfect compliment. Get this too!!


Forty-Eight Hour Beef Cheek with White Puree and Chimichurri:

Perfect dish. I would have licked the plate if I was at home. Mix it when you eat it and the flavour will melt together and perfectly form. If nothing else get this.


Go here and try some things but make it an occasion as you will spend a little bit. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
