BB's is a Filipino restaurant in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[2][1][3]
The restaurant's name stands for Bahay ni Bella (translation: Bella's House), referencing the owner, Justin Bella's, last name.[4] The restaurant originally opened up as BB's Diner in Toronto's Kensington Market neighbourhood located downtown.[1] It closed in July 2020 following the restaurant's building being sold,[4] before re-opening in its current incarnation in Parkdale.[1]
It is known for its Filipino-influenced brunch offerings, with elements of French and Italian cuisine in its dishes.[1] In 2024, the restaurant began serving kamayan-style dinners, a traditional Filipino communal dining style where food is served on banana leaves and eaten with hands.[5] BB's also offers a Filipino-influenced drinks menu, such as mimosas incorporating calamansi, a citrus fruit native to the Philippines.[1]
Recognition
[edit]The business was named a Bib Gourmand restaurant by the Michelin Guide in 2023.[6]
