Welcome to the Toronto Tapas Restaurants page where you can find out about the best tapas in Toronto and surroundings. Originally, and still in some bars today, tapas were simply a few olives or almonds, and perhaps a selection of cheeses and sausages, often free, at a start of a main meal. Nowadays, tapas have come to encompass more or less any hot or cold dish that can be served in small portions, and they may be quite substantial. A selection of tapas is ideal for an interesting informal meal, and they are wonderful fare for a party, buffet, picnic or barbecue.
