Press Release
Toronto’s Labora Restaurant and Bar is excited to announce its expansion within its King West location. Originally located within Campo Food Hall, the entire 3,000 plus sq. ft. space will now be dedicated to Labora Restaurant and Bar. The intimate, candlelit setting offers an experience reminiscent of dining in coastal Mallorca, Spain, where owner and chef Rob Bragagnolo’s lived and honed his craft for over 12 years.
In addition to the restaurants structural changes, Labora’s bar now boasts 25 seats, providing patrons with a front row seat to the lively raw bar as well as the beer and vermouth taps. Guests will now be able to enjoy authentic libations and a Spanish charcuterie and cheese station from midday to late night as the restaurant now serves lunch, dinner, apertivo and a late night snack menu, available only at the bar. Guests visiting for dinner are able to enjoy churros which have become a staple on the dessert menu.
Within the revamped space, Labora will continue to provide a full service, genuine Spanish dining experience showcasing an array of rustic, and regional dishes from Mallorca which it is best known for.
Labora Restaurant and Bar opened in late December 2017, as a part of Campo Food Hall and quickly won the hearts of Torontonians earning a number of impressive accolades. Chef Bragagnolo’s wish to introduce more guests to Labora’s unique dining experience was behind the decision to devote the entire space to the restaurant and bar.
“We are very grateful for the recognition Labora has received since opening, and it has inspired us to further develop the restaurant’s offerings and enhance the customer experience,” stated Chef Bragagnolo. “Expanding the space allows us to host multiple groups in the same evening and creates a shared experience amongst guests similar to the communal-dining lifestyle found in Spain.
The newly renovated space increases the restaurant’s seating capacity to 90 people, and now features a semi-private dining area for groups of 10 to 12.
Labora is now open Tuesday through Saturday 11:30 a.m. — 11:00 p.m., for regular service with extended bar hours on Fridays and Saturdays until 2:00 a.m. The restaurant is also available for large parties, private event bookings and corporate events.
