Top 10 Filipino Restaurants in Toronto

“It’s not Filipino food without rice,” says Christina, one of our Filipino friends in Toronto as she recollects her fond memories of enjoying family meals. A small neighborhood in North York, around Bathurst Street and Wilson Avenue is even dubbed as Little Manila out of the several Filipino communities across Canada because of the high concentration of Filipinos in the area. While many have mastered cooking Filipino food in their own homes, sometimes we just don’t have the time to be our own chef. So in case you crave Filipino food last minute, we’re listed down some of the top picks Christina shared with us. And yes, they do deliver!
