Leña Restaurante

The interior of this restaurant immediately caught my eye, since then, it’s been on my must-visit list. Located on Yonge St. in Downtown Toronto, this Latin spot draws heavy inspiration from Spanish & Italian cuisines. The bar offers an impressive selection, & the cocktails looked amazing.

What I loved about the menu is the variety.plenty of smaller plates to choose from, along with larger, shareable mains.

Expect to spend around $50-$70 per person.

I’d definitely return to try the burger, burrata, & their Leña roasted mushrooms.

What we ordered:

• Yuca fries. 5/10. Yuca is similar to potatoes but sweeter, native to South America

• Broken avocado salad: 7/10 very interesting mix of sweet & sour, it’s also crunchy

• Beef flat iron steak: 9/10.

Churros!

the chocolate sauce was perfect. wished that the churros were more crispy & sweet…
