I attended Valdez restaurant on King St. West in Toronto with Maria, her husband Maurice and Ana Maria. We wanted to check out the new South American restaurant. All of us speak varying degrees of Spanish, though mine is confined to lines learned from reruns of Chico and the Man in the mid-1970's. While the owner is of Colombian stock the restaurant combines dishes from all over Latin America with the exception of Mexico.
The restaurant is excellent. Even the cocktails were superb. I'm a fan of spicy Mexican food, but as I have learned from the H girls, South American food has a much more delicate use of spices. We tried a tapas style order of shared dishes. Ana Maria left early and missed the dessert of an amazing chocolate dish which was like a heated brownie with a souffle centre. I have no idea what the dishes were called but everything we tried was delicious.
We retreated to the roof top patio which is one of the best in the core.
I highly recommend this restaurant.
