It's hard to beat the kamayan feasts served at this restaurant with two locations including one in in St. James Town. For less than $30, they include milkfish and shrimp, pork belly, eggplant, mango salad and garlic rice. And on days when feasting feels like overkill? À la carte lumpia and lechon, a slew of all-day breakfasts and desserts ensure nobody goes home hungry.

A Parkdale spot not even Michelin could ignore, this one pairs a chill aesthetic with palate-dazzling plates of updated Filipino fare. For dinner, Wednesday to Saturday, weekend brunch and kamayan feasts, there's no better spot to side juicy cocktails with live music and bowls of kinilaw, Filipino spaghetti and tart, tangy slices of calamansi pie.

Chef Daniel Cancino treats Filipino food to an impressive glow-up in this sophisticated Rosedale room. Here, the lights are set to dim, the cocktails match the elegant décor, and the kitchen brigade wields tweezers when twee garnishes demand. It's highly likely you've never had sinigang, caldereta or ube leche flan quite like they're served here.

Roll up the sleeves before setting on any of the super saucy, grilled and roasted proteins at this family-run Scarborough spot. House special baboy and manok are served with lumpia and rice, and are bested only by whole suckling pigs big enough to feed a flock. Visit on weekends when an AYCE option invites surplus sampling.

Despite the fact that steamed buns, named siopao, are this casual North York restaurant's claim to fame, the team also busies itself making rice and noodle dishes, empanadas, pandesal and a swarm of traditional Filipino sweets. Start with pork, chicken asado or meatball siopao, then set out to test the rest of the menu.

At weekend brunch and daily dinner, Parkdale crowds into this popular restaurant for the flavours of the Philippines. From tapsilog and barbecued pork, to chinoy noodles, adobo and spicy, sweet lechon wings, there's no shortage of temptations on the lengthy menu.

In Don Mills and on the Danforth, this veteran spot satisfies customers hungry for sisig, curry, shareable pulutan, and a catalogue of other fresh Filipino dishes. With a menu that caters to vegans, vegetarians and their meat-eating pals, there's something for every diner.

At this simple Scarborough spot, Filipino staples make every guest feel at home. Fresh ingredients find their way into Pinoy ramen, dinakdakan, kare-kare, and other rib-sticking fare, with Ilocano specialties spicing up the offerings.

Filipino street food attracts scores of diners to locations of this restaurant in the Junction and on Dundas West. Kamayan kits feed a crowd, with dishes like arroz caldo, tocilog, lechon kawali and cassava cake handily sating solo diners.
