Pimenton has an Authentic Spanish & Mediterranean feel to it as you step inside this Food shop full of those ethnic decor. Do you need a Paella Pans, Tagines, Olive Oil, Vinegar, Condiments, Cheese, Charcuterie, Spicy Chocolate Powder?
Maybe a jar of Piri-Piri AFRICAN Chili to make your own special Piri-Piri blend at home? If cooking is not your forte, then maybe take a lesson they teach(Tapas, Paella, etc...). Even better take some Prepared Food home displayed in the glass fridge while the owner/staff work in the back open kitchen behind the shelves.
It is mostly dedicated to Spanish/Mediterranean with some African items in this nice shop as I looked at the pricey Moroccan Teapots which kind of surprised me slightly. I only had the Callebaut Chocolate Brownie (Gluten Free, $3.50) and to my surprise it was not overly sweet and not super dense like the ones you get off of Convenience Store shelves. A-OK
It's not really a dine-in style of shop unfortunately as you look at the prepped food and wish to consume on the spot. It's more for taking home and sharing these somewhat exotic and non-regularly consumed goodies. My Brownie was served on a piece of paper napkin, no biggie.Listed in: Latin American - Español Menus
Specialties
From tapas to light lunches and mains to desserts, colourful platters of foods prepared in the open kitchen are displayed for informal eating right away or taking back to work or home.
To compliment, Pimentón also stocks a select range of premium imported Mediterranean specialties. Catering and gift baskets are also offered. The boutique stocks virgin olive oils, sherry and balsamic vinegars, Spain's Bomba and Calasparra rice, cheeses and charcuterie (Iberico and Serrano, bresaola etc.) as well as Moroccan preserved lemons, raz al hanout spice, paella pans, tagine pots, and couscoussières.
History
Established in 2009
Established in 2009
The desire to share the real food of Spain was the inspiration behind the gastronomic jewel of Madrid-raised chef-proprietor Lola Csullog-Fernández. Named after Spanish paprika, one of the country's defining cooking ingredients, midtown Toronto's Pimentón Spanish and Mediterranean Fine Foods has been cooking up the true flavours and spirit of the cuisines of Spain and the Mediterranean Basin.
