Mineral

My husband took me here for my birthday, we enjoyed the 12 course at the chef’s counter. Chef Daniel and the staff were amazing, the food was delicious, the portion was more than enough. We had to skip breakfast the next day! Our server Jordan was wonderful as well. We loved the dishes, they were delicious with a fun twist of Filipino flavours, we learned lots of new things as we ate. Great food, fun drinks, wonderful staff, amazing atmosphere! Really enjoyed our meal here!

Love this new Filipino restaurant, Mineral, where upscale Filipino cuisine meets the comforting soul of home-cooked meals. We had the tasting menu and it really exceeded our expectations. This refined dining experience artfully blends rich, traditional Filipino flavours with contemporary elegance. Every dish tells a story—one rooted in heritage, elevated by five-star culinary techniques. Chef Danny and his team artfully represents the essence of Filipino culture through elevated plates that honour the classics while reimagining them for a modern, sophisticated palate. Definitely coming back and would highly recommend this place to everyone!

We did the Tuesday night 7 course tasting menu and it was worth every dollar and more. Jordan was incredible, attentive and explained our dishes and make fantastic suggestions. Each dish was better than the last and the stars of the meal were the pork collar and salmon. So tender and flavourful and a truly interesting take on Filipino food. We left feeling full and satisfied and am already recommending this gem to friends.

We had an incredible experience at Mineral. The service was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. The cocktails were on the pricier side but absolutely worth it. We did the tasting menu and loved every dish. Our highlights were: Pineapple + Kombucha Ensaymada — hands down our favourite of the night Salmon Sinigang Uber Flan Highly recommend if you’re looking for a memorable dining experience in Toronto!

Great vibes in this place! We were in Toronto visiting our daughter and decided to celebrate Mother’s Day dinner at Mineral Toronto—what a lovely experience! The restaurant has a sleek, modern vibe that doesn’t immediately feel Filipino, but the heart of the cuisine definitely is. We started with refreshing mocktails (calamansi, ginger, soda—so good!), then enjoyed an amuse-bouche that reminded me of Monggo. The Tuna Kinilaw was a standout—ahi tuna with passionfruit, calamansi, avocado, and ikura, served with crispy kropek. The Burrata Salad with mango and sesame vinaigrette was light and refreshing. The Mushroom Noodles surprised us—it wasn’t pancit, but a rich, truffle-laced pappardelle with mushrooms and bacon that we couldn’t stop eating. The Beef Short Rib Kare Kare was beautifully done—tender meat, flavorful peanut sauce, and just the right touch of bagoong. We ended with truffle butter ensaymadas and were treated to cassava ice cream on the house—such a thoughtful gesture. This isn’t your typical Filipino dining experience—it’s elevated, refined, and perfect for sharing Filipino flavors with friends from all backgrounds. We left full and happy, and would definitely return. Place is always filled, reservations required.

We had friends visiting from out of town who were craving Filipino food, and Minerals came highly recommended—thankfully, it didn’t disappoint. The food was exceptional, full of bold, nostalgic flavors with a refined twist. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, making it feel like a true hidden gem. The standout hits of the night were definitely the Pineapple + Kombucha dish and the Pandan Express drink—both refreshing, creative, and bursting with flavor. They were fan favorites at our table and really elevated the whole dining experience. While the food was fantastic, the service could benefit from better communication. There were a few mix-ups with our order, and the takeout items we requested were forgotten until the restaurant called us afterward to let us know they still had our bag. We really appreciated that follow-up, though, and with a bit more attention to detail, this place could be even more impressive. Overall, a memorable meal that we’d gladly return for.

This place NEEDS to be on the Michelin Guide. We had the chef tasting menu, every course was a knockout. Service was attentive and so hospitable we felt like they were celebrating alongside us. Aesthetic is gorgeous with moody colours and murals of tropical settings. This is an absolute special occasion spot that needs to be tried. I’ve only had Filipino food once before and it was nothing like this. We dined here to celebrate my friends finalized divorce and the staff treated us to some lovely sparkling wine and were so warm and friendly with every interaction at our table. You have to try this spot, it will blow up in popularity soon I just know it.

10/10, would love to come back! While we didn’t get to sit at the chef’s counter this time, we ordered a la carte and had a great experience with the staff explaining the dishes. The Iberico pork roll (especially with the perilla leaves), ube leche flan and coconut sticky rice were the standouts for us. The kinilaw also exceeded my expectations coming from a family who makes it often. My significant other and I had a reservation during peak times so it did take a bit to get served, but the food was worth it and we would honestly go back even for just the desserts.

We had a phenomenal meal at Mineral! We did the 12 course tasting menu ($125pp) with the non alcoholic drink pairing of 3 drinks ($40pp) and upgraded for the burrata from Puglia add on ($32) and hokkaido uni on the lumpia ($16pp). The add ons were definitely worth it and the entire experience felt good value for money. My favourite dishes of the night included: - Ensaymada cheese bun with truffle butter - Waygu flatiron steak (melt in your mouth!) - Halibut sinigang (the citrus broth is to die for) - Miso and manchego cake with coconut ice cream I would definitely come back to Mineral after some time for the menu to change, especially to try their 7 courses for $75pp Tuesday menu!

Precooking. - great call back wanted to know occasion and was very warm. Ambiance- lacking, benches are a small and the space is in a corner of busy street. First impressions - very nice welcome staff very welcoming... amazing. First reading of menu - your choice of tasting menu or à la cart we decided all's cart- tasting menu 95$pp. we got 2 appetizers and 4 mains. Food - food was very good, ingredients were all fresh and well presented. Portions were very small. Even the pasta dish, $36 too small. Burata salad $40., Overall, food was very good, great service, however the restaurant is trying to be something it's not , high end exclusive. I don't think value is there for the portion size and ambiance. There are better restaurants at that price range and maybe that is why it was 60% empty on a sat night.

Love the vibe of the bar, my friend and I were welcomed with a smile and had the choice of the table of bar. We chose the bar seats, and they were very accommodating of my tall friend (the bar seats are fixed). We got drinks and a la carte since we weren't too hungry. The drinks were delicious, and the bartender was super nice. For food we shared the Tuna kinilaw, Pork neck, and duck confit noodles. The flavours were all fresh and unique, and I liked the tuna the best. The duck confit noodles were super umami and filling, and the pork neck was good. I do wish they gave more lettuce with the pork! The spot felt very hip, and it was fun people watching from the bar- definitely a great spot for date night!

I've bookemarked this Asian fusion restaurant on my wishlist for a while after seeing some good reviews and finally got to try their dinner. The price is quite expensive (100+ per person) with relatively smaller portion on most dishes. Service throughout the meal was attentive and most of the dishes were decent. We ordered pineapple with seaweed, burrata salad, ensaymada with duck prosciutto, mushroom noodles, pork neck, crispy broccolini, short rib and Uber leche flan to share. Among all the dishes, the stars were the sweet and sour pork neck which was super tender, the refreshing burrata salad and the duck prosciutto. The crispy broccolini was our least favorite dish. It was not crispy enough and overcooked with weird flavouring. The pineapple kombu was a creative dish with interesting combination of flavours. Mushroom noodles were good but missing a wowing factor. The flan was also yummy with very small portion. The short rib was super tender but the meat was a bit stale. Overall, most of the dishes offer good flavour. It was a unique dining experience.

After reading all the rave reviews about this restaurant on Yelp, my wife and I have been looking for a chance to come try this place out. So we came here for Father's Day. Overall I found this restaurant to be a solid 4 out of 5. Good service, solid food, but didn't leave me craving more. Our group was 3 adults and one kindergartener. So it made more sense for us to order a la carte instead of doing the tasting menu. We had: - pineapple kombu: an inventive dish with an interesting combination of flavours. I didn't expect it to be spicy, and maybe it didn't work as well with the pineapple. - burrata salad: solid dish. Good portion of burrata. - ensaymada with duck prosciutto add on: These sweet buns really hit the spot! You really can't stop at just one! The duck prosciutto complemented this dish well - mushroom noodles: a generally forgettable dish. Not bad, not spectacular. - pork neck: This was one of the stars of the evening. It's sweet and sour with a lettuce wrap. The pork was cooked perfectly tender with deep flavours. Definitely would order again! - beef short rib: rib singular. This dish felt like the opposite of the pork neck. The meat was a bit dry and relied heavily on the sauce for flavour, which was not well absorbed into the meat. - crispy broccolini; not crispy. The flavour was too sour for my taste. Did not like this dish at all. - purple flan.: As someone who generally doesn't order dessert, I found this little gem a delight! Overall, the portion size is not too large, which allows an a la carte order to have almost as much variety as a tasting menu if you have 3 or more people in your group. Maybe some day I'll return to try their tasting menu...

Booked the tasting menu to celebrate a birthday and it was such a great experience! I find that filipino food is not commonly seen in Toronto/GTA so it was interesting to try out. Service was great from start to finish as our cutlery and plates were cleared promptly, chefs counter seating was cleaned and water filled in a timely manner. The whole vibe of Mineral was cozy but elevated. We were quite stuffed after this meal and we weren't expecting to be so. The tasting menu started off with the cold dishes, moving to warm and then a fish, rice and veg trio, before moving onto two desserts. The Chef explained everything to us as he presented it. I was surprised there was more truffle involved in the menu, so if you're not the biggest fan, then maybe skip the tasting menu. I enjoyed all the dishes and trying a new cuisine. Loved the various textured and flavours the dishes incorporated. Mineral for tasting menu was phenomenal and i'm excited to come back and try other items off their menu!

Our favorite restaurant we ate at during our first trip to Toronto. Everything was perfect - starting from the interior design & ambiance - then the friendly staff, and the food! This is a Filipino/Asian/Canadian fusion restaurant and I love how innovative their menu items are. I would have loved to try every item here but my bank account would not be happy. I like how they start your experience with an amuse bouche (stimulate your palate). They served a winter squash soup I think? Whatever it was it tasted amazing. I wanted to have a whole bowl of it. We ordered the Filipino bread, Inari scallops dish with garlic rice and the ube panna cotta as dessert. We noticed this place because of the ube panna cotta. And let me tell you - it was one of the BEST dessert I've had at a restaurant. Everything from presentation, texture, to taste - it was perfect! We savored every bite. The Inari scallops was also the best Inari dish I've had. It was packed with flavor. Words & pictures can't do it justice of showcasing how amazing our dining experience here was. You would just have to come and experience it yourself!

MISO & pear torte got ME SO in love with this meal this is one of the best meals i've ever had. almost every single dish here surpassed my expectations if you are a fan of asian fusion add this to ur next special occasion list bc it was worth every pennnyyy. they specialize in filipino fusion cuisine and elevate traditional cuisine so well into their dishes highlights of the night -- the most tender & rich pork neck wraps & perfect sweet savoury miso pear torte the perfect ending was when they sent us home with a postcard with a pic of the chef as a kid when he was back in manila! i thought this was a really nice touch to make the meal and resto so memorable TLDR: best asian fusion food i've ever had. been a while since i haven't been catfished. get the glazed pork neck & miso pear torte. on our menu: Complimentary amuse bouche (10/10 ) Tuna Kinilaw (6.5/10 ) Mushroom Noodles (8/10 ) Glazed Duroc Pork Neck (11/10 ) Beef Shortrib Bulalo (9/10 ) Miso & Pear Torte w Pandan sorbet (11/10 ) Ube Flan (8/10 )

Mineral is aesthetically beautiful. My friend treated me to this wonderful dinner for my birthday. The service was top notch. From bringing over a light to help us see the menu to cleaning our plates at the precise moments without being over bearing. Every staff was attentive and personable. They did a fantastic job hiring such a genuine team who look like they all enjoy working together. The cocktails were delightful, I asked the bartender/owner to surprise me and he did a fantastic job creating an unique and delicious whiskey cocktail. Food wise, everything was good but the stand out was the pineapple kombu. Such a simple dish but executed so beautifully with a burst of flavour and textures. The pork neck was soooo tender! We didn't care too much for the wrapped cod, it was good but nothing too special. The jumbo crab was well prepared but in my opinion it was too pricey, $36 for 2 legs. The mushroom noodles were quite rich and decadent, wasn't as inventive as I had hoped for. I found the prices were quite high but the service and ambiance made up for it! The staff surprised us with a ube flan on the house for my birthday, which was very kind and thoughtful. Overall it was an enjoyable experience. Can't wait to come back to try the scallop inari pockets, they smelled tantalizing! Food: 4 stars Service: 5 Ambiance: 5

(An open letter to Mineral) My Dearest Mineral, I think I'm in love with you. When we first met back in 2019, I was instantly intrigued by your Filipino fusion ways. You had a pork neck wrap that I couldn't stop nibbling, a duck leg that was so tender, and seafood noodles that had me seeing stars upon first slurp. I wasn't completely head over heels about you yet then, given you're a bit pricey and offered a limited menu. But I went back a few times and knew I wanted to get to know you more. Then suddenly, you left for someone called Covid, and I wasn't sure whether it would be out-of-sight-out-of-mind or absence-makes-the-heart-grow-fonder. But now you're back, and after seeing you a couple of times since, I know it's the latter. Yes, you've changed a bit. Your Filipino roots are still there, but you've branched out more. And the change is good. Tried a few things at our last date and thought they were really good. The scallop inari pockets are not just a thing of beauty but also really tasty and well executed. The crispy brocollini is easily one of the best veggie dishes I've had in the city. The wrapped cod wasn't my favourite, but was flavourfully nuanced and delicately executed. The pairing of foie gras with your butter-golden ensaymada buns just brought it to another level. And the miso and pear torte had just the right level of sweetness, and that coconut pandan sorbet was the perfect complement to it. But I'm a sucker for your Filipino-based dishes. And the absolute standouts to me were a new dish and an old classic. The beef shortrib sinigang I tried for the first time was soooooo good. The beef was fall-of-the-bone tender and glazed perfectly. But it was the sinigang broth with its distinct sour-savoury that made this dish one of my favourite beef dishes in the city, period. And of course, your classic ube leche flan dessert is still one of the best fusion desserts I've had. So yeah, I'll scream it from the rooftops: I love you, Mineral. I know you are still a bit pricey and have a smaller space and a short menu. But you are absolutely perfect in how you create dishes that are comfortingly familiar but excitingly new. I hope you'll accept my proposal for a long-term relationship. And don't worry, we can keep it open so the rest of the world understands how amazing you are. ps: That said, please please please bring back your seafood noodles!

Mineral is a high-end Filipino restaurant with great vibes and good quality food, however I was hoping for a stronger Filipino flair. I thought it would be traditional Filipino food with a twist, but was more Asian fusion than pure Filipino cuisine. The Ensaymada with Duck Prosciutto and truffle butter was my favourite. It was my first time having duck prosciutto and I fell in love with it - the only prosciutto I want is duck from now on . The pineapple with Kombu is also a surprisingly good combo. The duck confit was made very well, the duck was very juicy inside and crispy on the outside. Their Kare Kare sauce tasted very much like Chinese peanut sauce to me. Kare Kare is supposed to be a peanut butter based beef & oxtail stew. This peanut sauce was sweet and bright but was lacking the heartiness that the oxtail and beef innards would have brought. It was served with their house XO sauce. I've never had Filipino cuisine that tasted so similar to Chinese cuisine, but I'm not sure if it's supposed to taste like this. As for service, staff is very attentive and friendly, but it would be more interesting if they explained the origins of the dishes in further detail. We tried the tasting menu at $90 per person & below is what we tried. Apps - complimentary amuse bouche: cold creamy soup. such a firecracker start to the meal. One of my favourite dishes of the night. - oyster with Asian pear - Shrimp with yuzu creme fraiche & mango chili sauce - Pineapple with Kombu - Tuna kinilaw (Philippine ceviche) on shrimp chips: the tuna was a little too fishy 2nd round of apps? - Ensaymada with Duck Prosciutto - Scallop Inari Pockets Main - Duck Confit Kare Kare - Crispy broccolini: my husband was in love with this dish - With Tamaki Gold Rice Dessert - ube leche flan: delicious strong ube flavour, as it should be

Food: 7.0 Service 8.0 Ambience: 8.5 밤에 바를 이용하기에 분위기가 좋았으나 식사를 하기에는 무척이나 어둡고 전체적으로 상당히 당황스러운 맛... 아직도 저 파스타는 짜다는 느낌이 듦

Delicious. Very thoughtful menu and well executed meals. We enjoyed our dinner.... even our very discriminating fellow diner.

A lovely upscale Filipino inspired restaurant in Toronto's Rosedale neighbourhood. This place offers a comfortable lounge ambience paired with really attentive service. There's a full drink menu complete with cocktails, a wine list and options for local craft beer with Asian leaning flavours. For plates, tried the beef short rib sinigang. Absolutely melt off the bone short rib covered in a spiced butter and swimming in an umami, sour, yet also meaty broth. Some turnip and bok choy tossed in to complete the dish. For a balanced meal, great service and a relaxed dinner ambience this place can't be missed.

I've never had many chances to have Filipino food but this upscale spot has been on my list forever, and I'm so glad we gave it a try! Tuna Kinilaw: This was their take on a tuna tartare. The tuna was plentiful and had a great balance of flavors, not to mention the crab chips were so good! They were crispy and not oily at all Ensaymada: This was like a really soft and warm butter roll, with cheddar and honey with truffle butter on the side, it was DELICIOUS! We added the optional foie gras and it was so rich and decadant! Lingcod: This was roasted in a banana leaf with caramelized coconut and a tomato dill salad. The fish was tender, however I think I was expecting more umami flavors. Confit Duck Leg: This was actually really good. The duck was so tender, and the peanut jus at the bottom was fragrant and aromatic Ube Leche Flan: This dessert was unreal, it had this creamy ube flan with pieces of honeydew, as well as crunchy bits. I can't wait to come back for this The service was great, even though we only booked a bar spot, they had a table open up and offered for us to sit at a more comfier booth. The interior was also really cool, the ceilings looked hand painted and their kitchen/bar sitting area was interactive. Their cocktails were also delicious. The bartender was accommodating, made me tasty vodka based drinks that were off the menu. I definitely want to come back and try their pork neck and filet mignon!

Mineral is best known for its inventive Filipino-inspired plates. Chef Daniel Cancino's menu is packed with distinctive sweet, sour, and meaty flavours with influences from Spanish, Chinese, American, and Dutch cuisines. In addition to a list of low-intervention wines, Mineral boasts impressive (and addictive) proteins, like slow-cooked pork neck with brown butter pineapple lettuce wraps. Halibut is roasted to perfection in a banana leaf, and kissed with caramelized coconut. An absolute showstopper is the pineapple and kombu, decorated with black garlic, chili, and puffed rice. There's no shortage of flavour on this small but mighty menu.

My favourite restaurant in Toronto. Food is so flavourful and it's a Filipino fusion. The black noodle was my favourite. They give high quality seafood and the sauce is soo good. Service is great, they hang your coat up and chat with you while taking your order. And the ambiance is great for a date night. They gave us a free cake with a candle even though it was not a special occasion.

Amazing Food, great service, beautiful ambience. Not to mention fantastic cocktails...the best espresso martini in the city! Love the Filipino inspired cuisine...small menu but each one is impressive! Will recommend and come back for sure! Cynthia B.

Mineral is a Midtown newcomer offering Filipino dishes that's infused with other cultures. Yes, dare I use the F-word? It's fusion. There's Japanese elements in my favourite dish of the night, the seafood noodles ($26). The squid ink pasta tossed in a white wine (?) broth that gets creamier when the uni gets mixed in, creating a simple sauce with a pleasant briny ocean taste. They don't skimp on the seafood with large prawns and chunks of scallop, a fried shrimp head tasty to munch on if you're not squeamish about eating that sort of thing. Similar Asian flavours continue with the pineapple and kombu ($9), the fruit intensifying from being roasted and then topped with a kombu (kelp) chili oil that's reminiscent of a milder XO sauce, adding a sense of umami and heat to the dish. Who would have thought fruit could be so savoury? Their roasted duck leg ($28) is less Chinese BBQ and closer to duck confit. Except, in lieu of a red wine jus it sits in a lovely peanut curry and is paired with steamed rice... if only there was more of the sauce for the grains! If you wanted a bit more flavour, a red crab paste sits on the side, which was rather light for something that's so intensely red. The side of miso wok fried broccolini ($18) was a great idea, the seasoning adding an unexpected richness to the vegetables for something that looks like it's just topped with almonds. A bit of citrus gives it a fresh finish, pairing well with the richer duck. Two dishes that seemed more traditional were the first and last bites. We started with an ensaymada ($3), a sweet egg bun topped with melted aged white cheddar and smoked butter. Oh yes, it's looks and sounds decadent, but somehow just works together without becoming heavy For dessert, a dense sponge cake with a bit of syrup, crème fraiche, and a crumbly topping.

Great spot to hangout on a Friday night. Portions aren't huge but it's a great way to try out different dishes. Overall a decent meal. Bonus for playing kpop music at the restaurant!

Tasting Menu - OK but touch expensive for the taste. Oysters and prawns were fresh. Pressed pineapple was interesting and playful in a good way. Duck confit was soft and well flavoured. Broccolini had good charing. Service pace was a touch fast, but server was very knowledgeable. Great atmosphere and decor

We dined there last night after a long absence and I can honestly say it was memorable! The ambiance is lovely, the service delightful in every way and the food is truly spectacular. Every bite, from the amuse offered at the beginning through all of the courses we shared was amazing. Each dish has a complexity without being overdone. The chefs are truly exceptionally talented. We can't wait to go back!

Took me a couple months to get around to writing this review (oops), but I really enjoyed this restaurant! The vibe inside is super nice and a bit upscale, but still feels casual. Great service, and really tasty food, though a bit on the higher end. Seafood noodles: honestly, probably one of my favorite noodle dishes I've had so far. The noodles themselves were really delicate, but still al-dente, and had a slight squid ink taste to them. The broth is a bit sour, but coats the noodles well and is super flavorful. Scallop was cooked perfectly, ikura was juicy, and prawns were pretty fat. Only gripe is that the uni was a bit bland, but otherwise, I thought the dish was pretty spot-on. Ensaymada: never really had this before, so wasn't too sure what to expect, but it tasted like bread? It sounded really fancy (cheddar, smoked butter, hojicha honey), but I couldn't really pick up the hojicha -- some bites had a faint cheesy flavor though. Miso flan: I actually really liked the dessert: salty and sweet, and luscious. Had some fun crunchies to break up the texture, and the red dots changed up the flavor. Cake: pretty good, but I'm kind of impartial to cake. My friend liked it though. Overall, I loved the ambience and the unique menu, and though the food is definitely a lil pricey, I do think you get what you paid for :).

Incredible dinner, service impeccable, atmosphere beautiful. Cannot wait to go back! I never review restaurants. Highly Recommend Mineral!

Mineral adds a much needed daring paint stroke to the culinary landscape of Summerhill/Rosedale. With some great if not dated restaurants surrounding it, Mineral stands out by putting as much care in the details of the experience as it does the food. The wraparound, black-slab marbel countertop invites a feeling of community as groups of two and single diners swap glances at each other's food choices. The blue velvet benches and bar stools hark back to the eighties, but the design of said seats bring the material to modernity. The general feeling is comfortable, classy, and social. I came in for lunch, choosing the silken tofu from a focused menu with not more than ten items. The dish came thoughtfully presented with splashes of autumn colour which ultimately reflected the warm, hearty flavours on the plate. The tofu itself is sealed inside a thin, chewy exterior which introduced a mochi-esque bounce to the otherwise fantastically soft tofu. Everything is submerged in a balanced dashi broth that adds umami without drowning out the flavours in salt. In addition to the kabocha squash and brussel sprouts are chopped pieces of delicious, thick cut bacon, which adds a meaty bite - almost a crunch, but not quite - marrying the savoury flavour of the broth with the almost sweet tofu. Overall, an exciting and highly enjoyable addition to the neighbourhood.

Celebrating our anniversary here is amazing. The food is very delicious and my husband was speechless for every taste of the food. We ordered ensaymada, roasted duck leg and wagyu beef. The service of the staff are warm-hearted and very nice. Its a bit pricey but it's worth it.

It's a neat place. Love the blues, the designs on the ceilings and the walls. The place was half full when we came in November and we were seated at the bar. The chairs were surprisingly comfortable and there is a hook underneath but there's really not enough room for your legs and your bag. We got the Scallop & Apple ($14) to start. The dish has six large scallops in a gooey liquid, topped with diced apples. I loved the scallop, but the sauce was way to salty. My friend and I ended up wiping off some of the sauce on the plate which made it much more enjoyable. I'm not sure if we would have been able to finish the dish if we hadn't. Seafood Noodles ($26) came next and the dish was smaller than I expected. It's in a sour and spicy sauce which I wasn't really a fan of and the seasoning on the scallops were too salty. The uni taste was very faint but I didn't care for the noodles anyways so it wouldn't have changed anything. I was looking forward to this dish the most and was disappointed. The Wagyu Flat Iron ($57) is the priciest item on the menu and even though the Wagyu was very good, I'm not sure it's worth the price. I STG I don't hate on salt nor do I eat very bland, but the chimichurri was too salty. Compared to the other two salt disasters, this one wasn't as bad. I ended up really just eating it with just the bone marrow butter, which was good, but not $57 good. I really don't think the chimichurri and sea asparagus would have made it worth it even if it wasn't overly salty. We added the rice ($5) because it was recommended for the dish and that really helped with the saltiness. It's pretty pricey for rice though and it wasn't anything special. I feel like their food would be so good if there was just less salt, so I want to give them 4 stars because I know they can do it. At the same time though, I can't because it was honestly just very salty.

Excellent execution of contemporary south East Asian fusion cuisine (with recognizable Filipino accents). Everything was delicious, fresh (both food and conceptually) but starters were particularly strong. Service (Ashley) was professional, attentive and personal. One of the most enjoyable nights out we've had since COVID. Patio dining available (with heaters) in nice weather but not fully protected when raining.

Best restaurant in 2019 I've been there for 7 times, and never let me down. And definitely will go back again! I like all the dishes. Especially the mushrooms noodle and waygu!

This place makes me so proud to be Filipino! The amount of passion, attention to detail and all the while still staying true to hints of Filipino cuisine is beyond anything I've experienced. KEEP IT UP

Lovely spot. Philino america. The food was delicious. We had an appetizer that was so yummy. Pineapple with black garlic. it was outstanding. We had a brioche with truffle honey and truffle. Wow!! Wonderful service. Lovely people. Thanks for a delicious evening!

This is a high end place for drinks and a fancy meal. It's a nice place to try, but expensive and portions are small (except for the duck leg and pork neck). 5 stars for the creativity and polished service. It's nice to see a Filipino/Asian fusion place hit the mark and tie in North American influences for the season. Reduced it by 1 star due to prices...small serving means $85 per person for these (shared by 3 people with a drink each).

Mineral is a high end bar in Rosedale. It has very comfortable seating and the menu has some delicious Asian style dishes. I especially like the creative cocktail choices. The coffee menu also has some outstanding choices. I really enjoyed the food and cocktails and pleasant surroundings. Staff are very friendly. It's close to Rosedale subway station. They close kind of early (11:00 pm) which is odd for a bar. I would have ordered another drink and food but they were obviously getting ready to close well before that time and hurrying customers out. Worth a visit but not if you are drinking after dinner.

The food is divine, the service amazing! One of Toronto's best! The coffee is out of this world. Do not miss an opportunity to dine here! A huge asset to this hood. The ambience is warm and hip! A gem in this city! The noodle are incredible! Flavours are bold, complex and so delish!
