Bar Isabel

Bar Isabel is one of the best spanish restaurants in Toronto for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Little Italy.

Bar Isabel has been the anchor of Toronto's Spanish dining scene since Grant van Gameren opened it in Little Italy over a decade ago, and the restaurant's reputation has not softened with age — it has only sharpened.
