  • For the longest time, Filipino food had mostly been seen as comfort food, understood and loved almost exclusively by Filipinos themselves. Maybe a little lumpia here or some pancit there allowed the mainstream palate a safe gateway. Even then, most places I had been to that served Filipino food had it displayed behind a glass, sitting all day in hot trays, not the most appetizing food presentation in my opinion. Despite all that, for Filipinos like myself, our food is an endearing taste of our childhood, all that soury, salty, pungent, strangely textured stuff on our plate a delicious way to connect with our past. In the past few years, Filipino food has (finally) begun gaining recognition in the culinary world. Filipino fine dining establishments have popped up in California and NYC, receiving rave reviews. Being from California myself, I wondered if I would find the same thing after I relocated to Montreal. When I asked my friends here if there was such a thing, the resounding answer was, "check out JUNIOR." I've been to Junior twice now, once for dinner and more recently for Sunday brunch. The proprietors of this establishment are young, Filipino-Canadians who have framed the place in modern culture while still maintaining the integrity of our homeland. There are times where there's a DJ spinning 45s. There's a taco night. But the food and feel is PURO PILIPINO. And for that, I can say that JUNIOR is legit. Food-wise, I've tried two things, both of which I loved: Buto-Buto: this is one of those foods Filipinos consider "pulutan" (food that you drink beer with). Bits of pork meat on the bone seasoned and fried to perfection. Enjoy with one of their bottled brews and get taken away to an evening with the homies along a beach in Southern Tagalog. Fried Chicken and Waffles: The waffles, if I remember correctly, have a little coconut in them, which couple perfectly with these crispy, juicy pieces of chicken. You might want to ask for extra syrup :) All that said, extremely thankful to have a spot in town to sit and enjoy a little bit of home. Mabuhay!!!
