Beso by Patria

Went on a date night with my husband to celebrate his birthday! What a beautiful restaurant! We loved the Spanish ambiance, the decor, the lighting, the music! The food was great too, had a mix of different tapas and the rib steak for mains, but we didn’t try their paella. The service was wonderful, our server Alex was so professional and always checked in on us to make sure we had everything we wanted! We had a great time !

We recently visited Beso and had an overall enjoyable experience, with a few standout dishes and some that didn’t quite land. Service was excellent from beginning to end. The staff were friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable, offering helpful recommendations and making the experience feel welcoming throughout the meal. To start, the wrapped dates were sweet, savoury, and absolutely delicious, with the portion being perfect to share. The pan con tomate was simple but very flavourful and a great way to begin the meal. The beet salad was a standout, beautifully balanced with goat cheese and texture, and unexpectedly one of our favourite dishes of the night. For mains, the branzino was the clear showstopper. The fish was tender, well cooked, and full of flavour. The short rib skewer was very tender, but the sauces felt heavy and unnecessary, with both being spicy and overpowering the dish. The bravas were good and enjoyable, though not particularly memorable. Dessert was solid overall. The churros were good, with the dulce de leche being the preferred dipping sauce, and the chocolate mousse was rich and indulgent. The scallops were beautifully plated, but the sauce lacked depth and didn’t leave a lasting impression, making it a dish we wouldn’t order again. Overall, Beso offers a thoughtfully plated menu with a few excellent dishes, particularly the branzino and beet salad. With some refinement on sauces and balance, the experience could be even stronger.

Easy to locate the restaurant, tucked a bit away from the main street. Atmosphere was great, quiet, and had slightly dim lights. Food was brought out one by one before the main dishes came which was nice since the table would not be able to hold many dishes. To start we ordered the Jamon Croquettas and the taste was great but these came with only 2 bite sized pieces (not mentioned in the menu) which felt underwhelming when it arrived. Next up came the bacon wrapped dates and these were pretty good, flavourful, and came with 4 pieces. The seafood paella and 16oz beef rib steak came out together which was nice. The paella was flavourful but lacked a variety of seafood. It was basically mussels and shrimp and even then there weren't enough pieces of those in the dish. The steak was great. Enjoyed every bit of it and paired well Vina Elena Familia Pacheco red wine. The service was exceptional and the server came by often enough without feeling like we were being disturbed. Never needed to ask for water as they were always ready to refill.

Good overall experience at Beso by Patria. The Todos a la Mesa menu is good value, but the real standout is the octopus from the regular menu — absolutely incredible and a must-order. The shishito peppers (regular menu) were below average and under-seasoned. Wrapped dates were overly sweet, while the beet salad was refreshing. Churros are better without cinnamon sugar and pair nicely with the chocolate mousse cake.

We had such a wonderful experience here! The ribeye and grilled octopus were both absolutely delicious, and every single dish we tried was flavorful and well prepared. What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff were warm and attentive, and they treated our child with so much kindness. At one point, while walking around, our little one accidentally touched a server at another table — instead of being upset, he smiled gently and said it was no problem. Moments like this make dining out with kids feel comfortable and welcoming. Great food, great atmosphere, and truly wonderful people. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Delicious and what a fun ambiance! I haven’t been back since the renovations, and the space and food is lovely. Tip—ask for the paella right away if you’d like to try it (my favourite dish by far) since it takes 45 minutes to make. The shrimp app was also one of my favourites

First time at Beso. Food was phenomenal, amazing tapas, paellas and dessert. Daniel was the best server, made our night very special for our special occasion. Thank you Beso!

The tapas are very small portions so you have to order a lot to get full. The only thing is they are too expensive. Your better off just ordering one main dish to share for the same price but be prepared to wait 45 min for your paella. Inside the restaurant is very nice and the service was top notch.
