We wanted to try filipino food, and chose this based on trip advisor. It's a small restaurant so good to reserve ahead. Our waitress was very friendly. We liked almost everything we ordered. I particularly liked the vegetable dishes.
I remembered walking by Lamesa Filipino Kitchen at least 4 years ago, at the tail end of my last trip to Toronto. I promised myself, that I next time I visited, it will be on my list. Well, I’m finally here. I’m not too familiar with Filipino food as I’ve only have it a handful of times. But I’m fascinated by all Asian food. This is an elevated version of Pinoy cuisine.
I had a fun Kamayan dinner here with a friend. I had called ahead for a reservation for this special dinner that they only serve on Sundays, they were almost fully booked but they did manage to fit us in. The service for this dinner was quite unique, with each item served and described individually all on large banana leaves and eaten with your fingers. We had fun picking through all the items with many different flavours and textures (see the item list on the menu). The only item that we didn't like, and both of us agreed, was the fish. A great new experience.
