A unforgettable dining experience last 07/04/25 (Friday)! Shoutout to Chef/Owner Danny Cancino and his team for an impeccable service! đ
Every dish and the complimentary additions were phenomenal! The modern twist in Filipino cuisine was definitely well done!đđ Here are some of my standout favorites đ¤Ż:
⢠Pineapple + Kombu (Seaweed): Refreshing and light, with crispy seaweed balancing the sweet, citrusy pineapple đ
⢠Duck Ensaymada w/ Duck Prosciutto and Truffle Butter: One of the fluffiest breads Iâve ever had, inspired by classic ensaymada. Spreading truffle butter on it was chefâs kissâit melts in your mouth! đđ
⢠Scallop Inari Lumpia: Beautifully presented with fried sushi rice, ginger-chili dressed Argentinian shrimp, and seared scallop on top. The rice was fluffy and so tasty I could eat it endlessly!
⢠Iberico Pork Collar: Juicy, saucy, and umami-packed tender pork with chicharon, lettuce leaves, and sesame aioli. The pickled papaya (atchara) was a nice touchâI donât usually eat atchara, but I loved it with this!
⢠Beef Short Rib Kare-Kare: The star of the show! đđ Rich, classic kare-kare flavors with blanched bok choy and eggplant. The thick, peanuty sauce was delightfulâif only there was rice! đ¤Łđ
Hope as many people as possible get to try this ultimate gourmet experience, whether youâre visiting Toronto or a Canada local! đ Thank you Mineral!âşď¸Until we visit again!

This is not your typical Filipino restaurant so definitely worth visiting! We tried different dishes and each one tasted amazing and the food presentation was so good! For mains we opted for Beef short rib Kare Kare, Ensaymada + Duck Prosciutto and Iberico Pork Collar! Everything is shareable so you donât have to order the same dish unless you are really hungry. The truffle butter that came with the ensaymada was delish! If you like anything cold for appetizers then the Merienda Platter is worth getting just wish it came with more fruits! Do not missed out on their dessert menu, I would say Ube Leche Flan is the winner! So creamy and not overly sweet. Service was also very pleasant and staff were attentive and polite.

Fantastic experience at Mineral - we tried the tasting menu at the counter, it was excellent. Great service and the chef and his team were brilliant. Highly recommend.

Went for a Tuesday set menu dinner to celebrate an anniversary, and it was an awesome experience! Our server was very attentive and personable. The cocktails were amazing - really good espresso martini, pandan drink, and manila nights. The highlight was the Iberico pork collar and sinigang (no tamarind, they use Rhubarb). I thought the truffle did not pair well with the ensaymada, but a savoury-sweet cheese with some spice probably would. Creative and delicious pieces that elevate Filipino food! Canât wait for a sisig twist!

We had a wonderful time celebrating here. We did the tasting menu - each plate was delicious and unique. The flavours, pacing, quality, and quantity were all great. The attention to detail by the staff was also immaculate, we had lovely service. Definitely come eat here.

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 recently celebrated our 4-year wedding anniversary at Mineral and had such a memorable experience! As someone Filipino, it was incredibly special to see familiar dishes reimagined in such a thoughtful and elevated way. The flavours brought so much nostalgia, yet every plate felt fresh and modern.
The service was warm, attentive, and made the night feel extra celebratory. Every dish was delicious, but the absolute standouts were the Iberico porkâso tender and flavourfulâand the ube leche flan, which was the perfect sweet ending.
Even if youâre not Filipino, Mineral is an incredible culinary experience. The creativity, execution, and atmosphere are all top-notch. Highly recommend for a special night out!

Itâs priced $99 per person for the tasting menu but when it gets to the main course, it becomes a shared plate which is alright. It's enough for all of you. Don't worry. Before the main course arrives, you're already 85% full. By the time you finish dessert, you're full. Remember, it's a tasting menu, not a full course meal. Everything in the tasting menu was exceptional except the Inari which was still good but did not taste anything special. By the way, they calculate the tip with the tax added instead of before.

Wow! Outstanding work by Chef Danny and his crew! Food was excellent! Thoughtful use of delicate and fresh ingredients, perfect texture, and imaginative visuals while keeping a strong Filipino core. A must when in Toronto! Great work from the heart, resulting in perfection.
One of the best restaurants in Toronto with very reasonable prices compared to the quality. The chef Daniel is a genius and the whole team is just so nice and professional. This is what you can call THE restaurant. Enjoyed so much the food and the atmosphere as well. Well done, guys!
Great tasting menu and service. Would recommend adding the wine pairing

I was hungry after I had to go home and order Ubereats.
Plating was beautiful and some unique flavours. Amuse Bouche was the best dish. However out of the 9 courses one of them was a bowl of white rice? You had to share all the dishes which I get is in our culture. But itâs a tasting menu and they should just clearly split out the portions like at other restaurants. It disguises how little food youâre getting by the âsharing styleâ
It was honestly a bit embarrassing because I was trying to treat my friend from out of town to a nice meal. Iâm pretty sure she was just being polite and nice saying that she was full because thereâs no way. For $250+ after tax and tip you should be fullâŚ

This has to be one of the top tasting menus and dining experiences Iâve ever had in the city. Chef Daniel and his team have crafted an incredible menu that really surprised us last night for a birthday dinner. Definitely go for the Chefâs table menu if you can get a seat (only four spots per seating)!
Every dish was plated beautifully. The flavours were all incredibly well balanced. I canât recommend this place highly enough!! Canât wait to come back.
