Tinuno

11 Best Local Food Spots in Toronto | Condé Nast Traveler

"Tinuno, a no-frills hole-in-the-wall in the heart of St. James Town, has made a name for itself with its knockout Filipino cuisine. Order the Kamayan Feast ($15): a cook lays a banana leaf directly on your table, spreads it with a layer of rice, and tops it with fresh meat and fish skewers, spring rolls, grilled plantains, okra, and other fixings doused in house-made banana ketchup. For dessert, don't sleep on the halo-halo, a sweet Filipino treat with condensed milk, shaved ice, a scoop of purple taro ice cream, and chewy fruit candies. In the warmer months, Torontonians relish sitting outside on the patio." - Todd Plummer
