Best Wine Bars in North York / Don Mills

This is one of the best restaurants in the city. No debate. My gf and I went here for her birthday and did a tasting menu. We received complementary dishes and ordered all the additional items. It was phenomenal - The service was attentive and the no subtle details were missed like folding my gf napkin when she left the table. All steps of service were completed down to precise timing of dishes. - We went on a Tuesday and it was fairly full for the 2-3 hours we were there but nobody waited at the door. 7:15 reservations. - The decor reminded me of the Philippines, with a touch of the TV series “white lotus”. - The food really made this experience a 10/10. The experience we had for each dish was different for each: 1. A soup tasting that I wanted a bucket of to eat then and there. 2. A tuna ceviche’ that was familiar but unique. The calamanci flavour with the salmon roe were electrifying my taste buds 3. The pineapple ceviche was a roller coaster ride of flavours. My palette didn’t know what was happening. Acidic, chewy, tender, crunchy, sweet and savoury. 4. The ensaymada was both traditional and reimagined. We added the burrata and that was something that will live rent free in our heads forever. Each ingredient stood out but when added together felt like a wrapped present that my taste buds opened as I chewed. 5. The lobster dumpling was another add on. This item was tasted and uniquely presented but was over shadowed by all the other dishes. 6. the pork belly was so tender and flavourful it felt like a love letter from the chef. Truly this one felt like a gift the chef wanted his guests to experience and an experience was exactly what it was. 7. The sinigang was not a traditional recipe but for the love of all that is good it was immaculate. We described it as the fancy cousin from Europe of sinigang. It was everything you want sinigang to be and more. We are definitely sini-gang members! Plus we added lobster to this course and YOU HAVE to try it with the sinig

Food was excellent. I had the seafood pasta - nice portion, lots of seafood and delicious sauce. Waitress was friendly and efficient.
