“ We had a great time at East End Vine! The service was excellent—they helped us pick a fantastic red wine (Vallado) that we all loved. Every meal we ordered was absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We enjoyed everything so much that we finished every last bite. Try the deep-fried Brussels and shrimp! ”

“ We arrived on a Wednesday after work. There were 6 of us, we had never been and just popped in randomly. The owner/manager met us personally and suggested a chefs choice meal and it did NOT disappoint. From the wine, champagne and delicious tapas, we were in heaven and so happy our prior plans hadn’t worked out and we stumbled in here. So delish-thank you from Seattle, California, London and Austin. ”

“ Went for lunch with my sister and brother in-law and their two small children. Owner was very friendly and accommodating as we had a stroller and the seating area isn't huge. Food was delicious, presentation was excellent. The owner was knowledgeable and gave us some history on Madeira (fortified wine). Great experience and would definitely go back. ”
“ One of our best dining experiences ever. We have had great meals in France, Italy, Spain, US, etc., but none were better than East End Vine. Quaint and cosy setting, lively patrons, host was great. Ian treated us to a curated wine and food experience. What great fun! Fabulous food, great, relaxed service, and the price was right. Wonderful! ”
“ Stopped by East End Vine for summer we afternoon wine and tapas. The tapas are generous, creative and delicious. The suggested wines paired perfectly. I was most impressed by how passionately the experience was prepared, and yet how affordable it was compared to similar restos in Toronto. I’ll certainly be back and I’ll recommend to friends. Definitely visit East End Vine!! ”
“ Fantastic spot. Each dish we had was amazing culminating with a fantastic strawberry puff pastry ice cream sandwich that was the best dessert we have ever had. I was amazed that each dish was just as good as the last dish. It was impossible to pick a favourite. If you like tapas this is a great spot. ”
