Chef Chris McDonald is a local legend for his culinary prowess, which was honed at his formal (and former) Avalon restaurant. Now with partner and chef Doug Penfold, he is the driving force at Cava, where inventive, small-plate dishes -- sometimes daring, but always delicious -- offer Iberian-inspired menus with salt cod cakes, beef cheeks, and more. House-cured charcuterie is not to be... more

Cava restaurant has been described as a culinary Mecca in midtown Toronto. Celebrated chef Chris McDonald and his co-chef and business partner Doug Penfold have apparently figured out the way to a real foodie's heart, and it's nowhere near a boneless skinless chicken breast.Cava, named after the Catalonian sparkling wine, features a seasonal Iberian-inspired menu of small plates ($3.50-$19)... more

It is in a dingy food court. Such an odd place for a restro that's half decent. But the food was good. Enjoyed the sable fish particularly. Don't do the trust me menu, though. I no longer trust you cava. The desert you picked for me was so fattening and not even good... Order for yourself and you should have a good time.

Random location a bit further down the road, but we are glad we found it. This tapas KILLED Patria. It makes me mad we even spent a dinner there when we could have had this. The artichoke and eggplant dishes were amazing. If you can stomach foie gras then you'll enjoy as well. The atmosphere was nice... Just what you'd expect from their location near a bunch of stores. However, it was... more

We visited Cava once and had a great time about a year ago. This time around, not so much. Service was seriously lacking, we were left sitting around waiting for plates to be cleared, never offered a second round of drinks, and it was never clear who our waiter was.

The charcuterie was great, sweetbreads were overcooked and the ending pecan "kisses" were weird and squishy, like uncooked dough.... more

Forest-Hill foodies flock to this wine and tapas bar that tempts discerning palates with Spanish-inspired (though in practice, rather cosmopolitan) small plates. Well-curated list of wines by the glass allows for specific menu pairings too. Dinner daily. Casual. Entrees: $6.75-$25. AE, MC, V.

Cava is sparkling Spanish wine and you may feel tempted to pop open a bottle as you celebrate the creative offerings of food at Cava Restaurant. However, let the food be where your money goes, as chefs Chris McDonald and Doug Penfold will treat you the minute you take a seat. You can start out the evening with chipolte-caramel popcorn and let the diverse offerings of sweet and salty take you... more

Former Avalon restaurateur Chris McDonald moved to mid-town Toronto and established a new tapas restaurant, looking to explore the boundaries of authentic cuisine. A bulk of the menu consists of Spanish, French and Italian fusion dishes. The restaurant bases its name on the sparkling white wine from the Catalan region of Spain. Casual in its dining approach, the restaurant can seat 60 patrons.
