Top 5 Filipino Restaurants in Vancouver

“Anything that is inihaw (grilled) the Filipino way is still the best for me,” says Luigi, one of our Filipino friends in Vancouver when he was asked of his favourite Filipino food that he will never get tired of. Good thing Vancouver has a lot of Filipino population that in Fraser Street, many establishment signposts are even written in Tagalog. Because of that, Filipino food and restaurants are not to be missed as well. 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 Luigi shared with us. And yes, they do deliver!

Grandt Kitchen

Surrey’s premium spot for the best authentic tasting Filipino cuisine, Grandt kitchen offers fresh traditional recipes using the finest ingredients. They highly recommend trying their Kare Kare Bagnet and Tripe served with Peanut-sauce-based stew with assorted vegetables. They also have 5 signature platter options that each contain a little bit of everything so you don’t miss out on something. Best of all, both of their two branches can deliver your favourite meals.

Kulinarya Filipino Eatery

To keep the Pinoy cooking technique while using fresh meat and vegetables available locally is the philosophy of Kulinarya Filipino Eatery. They shared that when they came to Canada, they yearned for foods that were normally served on Sundays after mass like beef nilaga and kare-kare with bagoong. Not the typical turo-turo (fast food) style, they want to serve fresh food in a fun and homey atmosphere. They are available on Doordash and UberEats.
