Across the Bar

Open at 8 a.m., Bar Raval Brings a Taste of Spain to Toronto

Bar Raval, a staple in Toronto’s culinary & beverage scene

and helmed by acclaimed chef Grant van Gameren with partners Robin
Goodfellow and Michael Webster, is heavily influenced by the
Spanish resort town San Sebastian.

“To make the best use out of the space, we wanted to pack people

in, so it’s standing, which exists in Spain,” said Goodfellow, who
is not only a partner but also a bartender at Bar Raval. “We
do pinchos all day. It’s a cafe; it’s kind of more of a community
center. People come in all the time and the sort of vibe that you
get in San Sebastian is exactly what we thought would be good
here.”

Bar Raval offers both pinchos, which are Spanish snacks, and

tapas, shareable plates.

In this episode of “Across the Bar,”

host Paul Barron is served three of Bar Raval’s cocktails, all of
which are broken down by ingredients and the inspiration behind
their creation.
