Baro, Latin restaurant in Spadina—Fort York, Canada.
Baro is a South American restaurant spread across multiple levels, with a formal dining room, Pablo's Snack House on the lower floor, and a rooftop cocktail bar at the top. Each level offers a different setting and type of experience for guests.
The restaurant shaped Toronto's food scene by introducing South American coastal cooking from Colombia and Argentina to diners there. Its arrival marked a moment when these culinary styles became more visible in the local dining culture.
The kitchen draws from cooking traditions across South America, with particular focus on Colombian and Argentine flavors. Guests encounter regional techniques and fresh ingredients that shape how each dish tastes and feels.
Advance reservations are necessary, especially if arriving as a larger group during busy evening times. The multi-level layout allows visitors to choose where they prefer to spend time based on whether they want a quiet meal or social atmosphere.
The snack-focused section on the lower level lets visitors eat and leave without committing to a full meal experience. This casual area reveals a different side of the place worth discovering.
