La Paella is an absolute gem in the heart of Leslieville. A charming Spanish restaurant with a wonderful menu of delicious tapas and impressive paella made using imported ingredients and by a dedicated paella chef, the warm and friendly staff make dining at this charming neighbourhood restaurant a truly memorable evening. From the moment we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by the chef, owner and George, our charismatic server who burst into song throughout the evening as he serenaded a family celebrating a special occasion. With a menu full of delicious appetizers or raciones, we deferred to George to suggest the best selection, which included enormous Spanish Navarra white pickled asparagus, as well as luscious homemade Spanish style truffle croquettes, a special creation of the chef that evening. Paellas naturally are the star of the show. Made using special stock and bomba rice imported from Spain, La Paella offers ten different paellas on the menu including Paella de Mariscos with mixed seafood, Paella Valenciana with chicken, Spanish chorizo, Jamón Serrano, calamari, shrimp, mussels, green peas and piquillo peppers as well as an impressive Tomahawk Paella which serves four hungry carnivores. With a splendid list of Spanish wines, sherries and cavas, as well as a lovely fruity red Sangria, La Paella is a treasure.
