"Toronto's in-the-know food obsessives clamor for tables at Bar Raval, a warm and bustling joint known for its stellar tapas and pintxos. If the dining room feels like something out of Barcelona , owners Grant van Gameren and Robin Goodfellow has done their jobs; after all, they used Raval , a neighborhood in the Spanish city, as inspiration for the sexy vibe and colorful decor. Be prepared to order lots of stuff off the pinxtos menu and share it, from the house-smoked mussels with chili and fennel to the pancetta with rhubarb." - Todd Plummer
