Best Tapas Restaurants in Killarney / Metrotown

Great first visit, food was very very tasty Drinks great as well, the NA pink lemonade was tart tho a small portion maybe 8oz, could be larger but very tasty 3 shared plates, a white fish would have been nice, I don’t eat salmon and am allergic to shellfish. Those few choices were the meat proteins on offer The Halloumi and spiced beets were standouts for us!

Our server was helpful and accommodated a change to the menu for an allergy. He was patient and around just enough. The food was so delicious and flavourful. My favourite was the taro chips and dip. The prawns were also delish. Even though we were seated on the outdoor patio in December, it was warm enough. Just wish there were slightly more substantial chairs. We were seated on very small stools.

Barbara is a beautiful experience of lovely staff and excellently executed dishes. As mentioned in other reviews, the space is intimate yet stylishly appointed. We wouldn’t have it any other way. In a city where one can have an endless variety of foods, Barbara manages to be quite more than a cut above the rest while remaining true to the vision of the owner/chef, Pat. Literally every single bite of our order: beef tartare, the in-house made stracciatella, the octopus, the celery root and the Arctic char and beef short rib managed to make ingredients we have had before become something special again. Be sure to order an inventive cocktail and save room for the included dessert. Ours was a Concord grape granita with maple drizzle that seemed made for each other. If you’re local or visiting this beautiful city, place Barbara on your list of “not to be missed” restaurants and make this reservations in advance. You’re in for a real treat.

Delicious and inventive, each and every time. The room is small but sexy, a bit noisy in the evening, but overall a lovely spot for a small gathering or date. Looking forward to returning again.

Good. I will come back. Good food , good price, friendly servers
