Best Spanish Restaurants in Distillery District

My man and I are foodies. So this was a perfect place to have several meals in little portions.

Had a fantastic dinner with friends to celebrate my wife’s birthday. Sterling (our host/waiter) did a phenomenal job helping us to choose our meal. Everything was delicious and did not disappoint! Highly recommend Patria and be sure to ask for Sterling! He’s knowledgeable, personable and very attentive. We look forward to our next visit!

Brought my partner and 6 of our friends here to celebrate his 40th. There were multiple allergies at the table and our server was not only SUPER knowledgeable and friendly but accommodated and everyone and put together an incredible tasting menu for us. We all felt very well taken care of and had so much fun! 5 stars all around!

When I made a reservation at Lena, I mentioned in the booking that my father had been diagnosed with terminal cancer and that he was determined to start living life to the fullest. The first thing he wanted to do was revisit Lena, a restaurant he cherished from years ago. While I didn't have any specific requests, I mentioned that great service would mean a lot to us. From the moment we arrived, the team at Lena went above and beyond to make our experience special. They seated us in the best booth in the restaurant. The staff's warmth and attentiveness were immediately apparent, making us feel welcomed. One of the highlights was when they allowed my father to order a meal intended for two, Aurora’s chicken, just for himself, while I chose the noqui. This thoughtful gesture made him feel special and allowed him to enjoy his favorite meal. Our server was incredibly attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout our visit. In a particularly touching moment, she even remade his coffee because he was in the restroom when it had cooled down. I was so moved by the kindness of the staff that I found myself tearing up as I thanked her for making our time so special. I felt a bit embarrassed for crying, but she was so compassionate. As for the food, it was nothing short of amazing. Each dish was beautifully presented and delicious. To top it all off, the chef came out to say hello, which was such a lovely gesture. Overall, our experience at Lena was wonderful and memorable. The combination of exceptional service, delicious food, and a warm atmosphere made it a perfect outing for my father. I am incredibly grateful to the staff for making this meal special during such a challenging time. I highly recommend Lena to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. Thank you, Lena, for creating a beautiful memory for us.

Always a fantastic experience and meal. The small plates are amazing, from the flavour to the attention to detail.
