Nov 24 2022, 5:11 pm

If you’re looking for the best Filipino restaurants in Calgary, you have your work cut out for you. There are many, from fast food spots to breakfast joints to hybrid restaurants.

Canada recently had its first-ever Filipino Restaurant Month and people were so excited. It was a chance to try all of these authentic places out, possibly even for the first time.

It was a real chance to eat, drink, and celebrate the food of the Philippines.

Calgarians can hopefully look forward to that month-long event every year, but in the meantime, you need a list to know where to go for food from the Philippines.

Here are some of the best Filipino restaurants in Calgary to check out.

Located on 17th Avenue, this newly opened restaurant specializes in fried chicken, grilled meats, pasta, sides, and JusFruit drinks.

Peeps crispy chicken boxes are available in six-, eight-, or 10-piece meals, and there are also options for items like grilled chicken, pork belly, BBQ pork skewers, and more. Spaghetti with banana ketchup is common in Filipino cooking, and it’s served here with garlic toast and pop.

Inspired by the streets of the Philippines, this spot is both a restaurant with authentic dishes like chicken wings and Pinoy spaghetti and it’s also a bakeshop with freshly baked bread and pastries like Pan de Coco.

Pacific Hut

There are well over 100 menu items here, including rice dishes, desserts, appetizers, breakfast dishes, and so much more.

There are ice porridge dishes, Mami noodle soups, and of course, spaghetti.

Rise N’ Shine Breakfast Place

The Philippines seem to love breakfast food, and Rise N’ Shine is the place for it.

Offering home-style meals like beef tapa with house-marinated beef strips served with garlic rice, a fried egg, and mango salsa, this is a unique breakfast you should definitely check out.

Address: 5330 72nd Avenue SE #121, Calgary

Streetside Grill and Cafe

In many ways this is a classic diner-style spot, serving breakfast and gourmet burgers, but Chef Marlon was born in the Philippines, so there are still menu items like rice and noodle bowls, as well as a traditional tapsilog breakfast.

Filipino-owned (by brothers Jeff and Gil Carlos), this has become one of the most popular breakfast spots in Calgary.

All of the classic breakfast dishes are available here with creative twists, but we suggest going for the Film Breakfast Bowl made with longanisa sausage, eggs, jasmine rice, housemade tomato salsa, and chili soy sauce.
