It's hidden little place that is likely often missed, which is too bad. I've been a couple times and the food and service has been great both times. Certainly worth checking out!
Everything we had was delicious. The pork tacos are AMAZING(picture). The service was AMAZING. Casual fine dining with a Filipino twist. Done so well. Flavours were delicious. Can't wait to go back
Filipino food has always been a little intimidating to me. However Filistix made me fall in love with it. The food and flavours are basically art, and cocktails are so pleasant. Service is so warm, welcoming, and attentive. Highly recommend for date night or even with family !
Absolutely fantastic!!! You must eat here. My partner and I have travelled to several places in the world and this place sits in our top 3 all time favourite meals!! The cocktail list, wine list and beer list all are excellent and complement the food well. Beautiful decor and above and beyond wait staff! Stop reading this and go eat here.
Hands Down THEE Best Modern Twist of Fillipino food! ??Don't be afraid to try something new!! Pictured is the Longanisa Benedict, Tapsilog, Tosilog, Bangsilog. The Desserts are Ube and Mango Crepes & Leche Flan.The presentation was amazing. The restaurant was very clean, located in a great area and family friendly.It's hard to pick what was my favorite food item because, everything we ordered was amazing. The Leche Flan is worth every bite. Thanks Marc for the great service, next time will have to try the dinner menu. Salamat??
The last time we'd been in was a number of years ago, for a to-go lunch. We recently went on a Friday evening, and I must say, Filistix has evolved and become a hidden gem of fine dining in downtown Edmonton. Do not let the very unassuming exterior and location fool you - inside you will find a fantastic set of staff, who want to share their love of food with you, and a menu that, while limited, is full of fresh trendy flavors in an interesting fusion of traditional Filipino flavors and dishes with modern fine dining.We cannot recommend them enough!Thanks to all the staff for a wonderful evening and delicious meal.
staff/service: they are super friendly and attentive. They are super helpful with food suggestions. Prompt service. We had a group of 5 at our table and our food came out pretty quickly. establishment: cozy, comfortable & homey feel. Great ambiance with the warm wood furniture, plants & lighting. food: amazing!! flavourful! Filling! We shared the Grilled Lettuce, pork limpia, Sinigang Scallops, pork Tacos to start. For our mains we had Lobster ‘Ginataan’ & Steak ‘Kare Kare’. And for desert we had a medley of Ube and Mango Crepes & Leche Flan. Such uniquely flavourful food! They have an assortment of cocktails, wine and non alcoholic beverages.
First time experience Philippine cuisine and was the best experience ever! The service, the food presentation and taste , absolutely exceed expectations. We are excited to try the new upcoming menu. We are definitely coming back! Great job, keep it up!
Super good food! Filipino food is one of my favourite cuisines and this place really nailed it.I had the adobo bowl and my wife had the coconut chicken bowl. The presentation was lovely (which I really appreciate because I always found it hard to make Filipino food presentable when I make it). The meat was really well-balanced with the slaw and pickled veggies and it was all very delicious. The local ice cream (from Yelo'd on Whyte Ave I think) was very yummy too!I was most surprised at how quickly the food came out. It reminded me of getting food at a street vendor or a local place back home.Overall, a very good experience. If you've never tried Filipino food, this is a very good place to start.
I work near the Downtown restaurant, and have been a regular custody since they opened this location. The menu evolves, but the food and the service is ALWAYS top notch!I would currently recommend the lunchtime Mung Bean Soup... legumes are not always my favourite, but this soup just tastes so good!
