Neighbourhood Spanish cooking at Barrio

WELCOME to the neighbourhood. Or so you think is the concept behind Barrio – Spanish for neighbourhood, namely the Greenwood Avenue enclave at Hillcrest. We envision warm, rustic vibes. Mediterranean hospitality. Convivial hosts who can’t wait to ply you with the hearty food and wine of their motherland. Until we step foot into this Barrio, whose server looks at us like a neighbour whose self-claimed parking spot we just pulled into by mistake.
