    I wouldn't recommend this place for brunch. My vegan son chose Bar Bacan for his birthday because it had a vegan brunch option as well as meat based items for others. Their signature arepas were cold in the middle on two servings and absent from a third (added when requested and warm). Eggs both fried and scrambled were overcooked. Chorizo sausage was dry. Vegan option was little more than a bowl of black beans and an arepa. Poor value. The birthday was noted in the reservation and not acknowledged in any way.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry to hear that your visit for your son’s birthday brunch didn’t meet your expectations. Birthdays are special, and we regret that we missed the opportunity to make it feel that way. We appreciate your feedback on the food. We would like to assure you that this isn't typical of the level of quality and consistency we aim for. We will be speaking to our kitchen staff to ensure these issues are addressed and for the oversight with the birthday acknowledgment. We are very grateful you chose Bar Bacan for such an important occasion. If you’re open to giving us another chance, we’d love the opportunity to make things right. Kindly reach out to us if you would like to arrange another visit.

    Cozy, cute and comfortable. Food was tasty, service was quick and everyone was so friendly. The yuca fries were so well done, I've had cassava fries elsewhere and they don't compare. The lasagna was a great portion and tasty, the cheesecake just right. The drink was also refreshing -not too sweet or strong. And I don't even like white rum. I'd recommend here to anyone.

    My family and I went for brunch during Winterlicious but ordered the tequeños to start. The appetizer came with a delicious garlic mayo (wasacaca). What a terrific choice - crispy outside withwarm cheese on the inside. 4 out of 5 of us ordered the plantains with cheese from the Winterlicious menu’s appetizer choices (we were not disappointed), our table tried all of the mains and each of the desserts. All of the mains were warm, tasty and generously portioned. I was so full I only finished one of the two Venezuelan empanadas. The yuca fries that each of the mains came with were very crispy and perfectly seasoned. We were split on the desserts, we all liked the alfajor (soft cookie filled with dulce de leche) and the sweet doughnut bites but I’d say the alfajor won out. We really enjoyed our visit, the staff were very friendly, the atmosphere was bright and noise level was low. We will definitely be back!

    I often have trouble with noisy restaurants in Toronto making it very hard for me to hear others at my table. I found the ambience and noise level at Bar Bacan perfect. The service was wonderful, warm and friendly. The food was a perfect combination of mixed cultures and delicious. I'll definitely be going back!
