    We had the roasted mushrooms, burrata, and smoked kingfish ceviche as apps. Mushrooms were my favourite, tasted so creamy and flavourful. The ceviche was so good, the fish and gooseberries paired so nicely. Burrata was creamy and paired deliciously with the salad and radish. For entrees, we had the paella and rabbit and escargot dish. Paella had shrimps, scallops, mussels, squid, peas, chickpeas- amazing combo! For drinks, we had the BUENOS AIRES, potent but delicious. Great range of food!

    I went to this place knowing the type of food they serve. I found what I was looking for. Even though it's hard to make the local food of a place in another country, the chef managed to present great dishes with tastes that are very close to the original, or a good version of it. I loved the yuca fries. They were spot on and brought beautiful memories. I would come back to this place!

    The extra charges are insanely high and the waitress just asks if you want to “add” certain foods to your meal without telling you there is a large charge …did you want mushrooms ontop… $14 dollars later

    Lẽna’s is one of our favourite restaurants in Toronto and often stay close by so we can eat there. The food is really good and the cocktails are yummy. The service is excellent. We arrived half an hour early for our reservation but they were able to accommodate us. Always a pleasure to dine here.
