With a relaxed, refined atmosphere, La Palma is the perfect spot to catch up with a friend over drinks, dine with your lover for dinner, or celebrate your most special occasions with family. Chef Craig Harding's food is Italian at heart but the menu at La Palma reflects a California sensibility and remains playful, reflecting dishes and ingredients from other Mediterranean cuisines and cultures. Whether you're grabbing take-out for an impromptu picnic in the park, or enjoying a patio dinner with a view of sunlit Dundas West, La Palma has you covered.

For parties of 6-9 we strongly recommend our Family Style's Chef's Menu. This multi-course meal includes several dishes from our a la carte menu plus exclusive off-menu items--most of the dishes are served family style, as our menu was created with sharing in mind!

    My bandmates and I enjoyed a truly incredible mean at La Palma, where they took such excellent care to make sure we had a good night even though it was a packed house. Such a special night and we're so grateful to La Palma and especially to our wonderful waiter David! Thank you!

    Enjoyed David’s service. Very attentive, good ambiance and food. The only think is…I wasn’t aware there was a coat rack people can use before coming in. Staff should do a better job of informing this. Not sure if the rules changed since I went on new year eve.

    Thanks Jeremy, that's great feedback. I've discussed your issue with my Host and Management team to crank up the communication to guests on arrival about our coat hanging area. Look forward to hosting you again.

    My husband and I came here for our first wedding anniversary and everything was amazing! Our server, Ellen, was super helpful with food recommendations and very friendly. Everything we got was delicious, especially the broccolini, 100 layer lasagna, and vegan gnocchi!! Would definitely come back and highly recommend to all :)

    I had an incredibly disappointing experience at La Palma in Toronto. From the moment we arrived, the customer service was abysmal. It took far too long for anyone to even acknowledge our presence, and once we were seated, we had to continuously wave and seek out our waiter for attention. It was as if we were invisible. The food was equally disappointing. Every dish that came out was either bland or tasteless and incredibly small. None of the flavors were memorable, and everything arrived at room temperature — which is completely unacceptable for any restaurant, especially one that bills itself as an upscale dining experience. We asked our server if any adjustments could be made to our dishes, but they were unwilling to accommodate any requests or even offer suggestions for something different. It was as if they simply didn’t care about providing a good experience for their customers. We came here to spend our $200 Amex platinum credit and never have we struggled so much to spend $200 on a night out in Toronto in this economy. As the food was disappointing and the service abysmal, we didn’t eat much. Overall, La Palma is an absolute letdown. Mediocre to bad food, terrible service, completely over priced, and no willingness to make things right. I won’t be returning, and I’d advise others to skip it. There are far better places in Toronto that actually care about their guests.

    Hi Ari - I understand how special dining out should be, especially when you're looking for a premium experience, and I regret that we did not live up to the quality you deserved. If you’re open discussing further, I'd appreciate the opportunity to learn more about your visit. Please reach out to me at josh@lapalma.ca ~ Josh GM

    La Palma was an absolute delight! Our party of three adults and three children was warmly welcomed, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable. The service was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially for the kids. The food was outstanding—every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. It’s rare to find a place that balances great food and a family-friendly atmosphere so perfectly. Highly recommend!
