  • Filling a long neglected gap in Toronto's vast culinary diaspora. Lamesa treads where no trendy resto have gone before by elevating down home Filipino cuisine to delicious and elegant heights. There are other Filipino restos in the city of varying quality but most fall under the casual or buffet family style of eats. It's fun to explore to find which does the best in particular dish or sample from the vast steaming pots but their typically remote locations makes that a challenge. Lamesa brings all that goodness to the downtown core and we are all the better for it. You are met with a friendly and jovial place. High on the lively atmosphere and low on the attitude. This is a good thing. The cheery staff does a bang up job to explain what the dishes are and are more than attentive. Have the tasting menu to get a good cross section of cuisine at hand or choose your favourite from the main dishes. Standout for me was the sisig. Sisig is typically a grease laden sizzling platter of porky goodness best served with copious amounts of beer. Lamesa does it one better by removing much of greasy badness while preserving all the full goodness of the pork bits. Pork belly adobo is "Confit-ed" over a day and then warmed over before being served along with a side cup of savoury-sour-sweet sauce - what emerges is nothing short of damn-freakin-tasty and worth a trip just for this alone! This place does all of us Toronto a foodies a tremendous favour by elevating and introducing the real down home goodness of Filipino cuisine adding yet another tile to the vast mosaic of Toronto cuisine. Well worth a visit!
