BB's is a dining establishment specializing in Filipino food located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1][2]
The restaurant’s name is derived from Bahay ni Bella (meaning Bella’s House), a nod to its proprietor, Justin Bella.[3] Initially launched as BB's Diner in Toronto’s Kensington Market neighborhood,[2] the venue ceased operations in July 2020 following the sale of its premises,[3] before reopening at its present location in Parkdale.[2]
BB's has gained acclaim for offering brunch dishes rooted in Filipino tradition but enhanced with French and Italian culinary elements.[2] In 2024, the restaurant expanded its offerings to include kamayan-style dinners—authentic Filipino communal feasts served on banana leaves and eaten using hands.[4] Additionally, the establishment presents a beverage selection influenced by Filipino flavors, such as mimosas crafted with native calamansi citrus.[2]
Recognition
In 2023, BB's earned the Bib Gourmand distinction from the Michelin Guide, recognizing its exceptional quality and value within Toronto’s competitive restaurant scene.
