I was excited to finally try a casual Filipino joint in Toronto besides Lamesa. Platito occupies a wonderful spot on the baldwin strip, with a great patio to enjoy the summer.
I came here for lunch with some coworkers - we didn't make reservations which was fine but the patio did fill up as lunch time went on. Their lunch menu is small with basic Filipino dishes like bbq pork skewers, pancit, and lechon. All items come with a rice.
I got the bbq pork skewers - which end up being two small (6 inches) skewers on top of white rice with some pickled onions. The portion was definitely very small, and I was still hungry after. The pork was sweet, and well cooked, but not amazing.
I have had the pleasure of eating a lot of Filipino food over the past few years and I was left a little disappointed with Platito. I will come back though to try their brunch, but I do hope they are able to put a little bit more love and care into the food. After all I have never left a Filipino lunch feeling hungry!!
