Top Silog

What is Top Silog? Anchoring Bathurst Street in North York's Little Manila corridor, Top Silog is a no-frills family fixture dedicated to the essential art of Filipino breakfast. The dining room is warmly lined in rustic wood with just a handful of casual tables inside and a compact sidewalk patio out front for sunny days. It operates on an unpretentious premise: turn out dependable combinations of sizzling savory proteins, fragrant garlic fried rice ('sinangag'), and a runny fried egg ('itlog').

Top Silog Menu & What to Order Everything revolves around generous silog platters, led by the crackling 'Lechon Kawali Silog', citrus-soy marinated 'Tapsilog', and sweet-cured pork 'Tocilog'. If you want to sample across the board, the massive 'Box Silog' piles four different proteins onto one plate, served with a punchy side of housemade 'atchara' made from Dellosa's grandmother's recipe. Don't skip the slow-braised, rich 'Beef Pares', and round things out with a towering, condensed-milk-drizzled 'Halo-halo'.

Know Before You Go Seating runs exclusively on a walk-in basis, meaning peak weekend brunch hours can bring short queues as locals gather for quick sit-down meals and takeout. Street parking along Bathurst Street is generally accessible, or you can take the 160 Bathurst North bus from Wilson Station. The kitchen serves steadily every day of the week from 9:30 a.m. until 7:00 p.m.
