  • I was here with a large group of my relatives, some of whom had already been to Lamesa before. I for one was eagerly anticipating the food, so I decided to go for the $30 Price Fixe option to get a better representation of the menu. I started out with the Krispy Pata ($18 - don't worry, it can feed a number of people). This was not part of the price fixe, but I felt that I would be doing myself a disservice if I didn't order it...think freshly made chicharron, and you got the gist of it. It's fatty , the skin is definitely crispy, and it won't do your diet any favours, but it's OH SO GOOD. Other than the three central courses, the price fixe portion includes two tasting courses. When I went, the extras were crispy chicken skin and a creamy jackfruit drink. Both were very tasty, but watch out for the jackfruit aftertaste. It can surprise you if you're not used to it. Naturally, the meal came with a bowl of steamed rice. Now for the ignorant reviewer who didn't care for the "communal" rice bowl...YOU'RE IN A FILIPINO RESTAURANT. RICE IS SHARED. I started out with the Pusit (not on the online menu, but apparently the menu can change to incorporate new items). This was better than any non-breaded calamari appetizer I've ever had. The addition of the coconut dipping sauce was a nice start to the whole dinner. Very "Southeast Asian" taste to the whole thing. My main dish was the Steak Frites Estofado. FANTASTIC. The flank steak was cooked to a perfect medium-rarity. Since I didn't pay attention to the fries part of the menu when I read it, I was totally surprised by the fact that what I thought were potato fries were in fact plantain fries! Add the jus to it all, along with spoonfuls of steamed rice and you get...GOODNESS. I was pretty full at this point, but after a few drinks of my calamansi juice ($4), the nice little creme brulee came and capped off a great evening of eating out. Great food, staff were pleasant, attentive and accommodating (but unintrusive), and the food was worth the money. Not the cheapest, but not the most expensive either. Great for the Pinoy who wants to try Filipino dishes with modern twists, or the foodie who wants to try something cuisine that has not been played out in the Toronto Restaurant landscape.
