Kumare, near Richmond Centre, is pretty good. It's true that it's rare to find Filipino food that is haute cuisine, but I think it's only a matter of time before it happens. Filipino dishes can have very interesting, complex flavours and can be challenging to prepare. Plus, a lot of first generation Filipinos are involved in the restaurant business as owners and chefs of some acclaimed restaurants.
Toronto has an upscale Filipino restaurant called Lamesa that has received
rave reviews, but I haven't been there yet.
