DHM Fischer thanked the Filipino restaurant owners Kim Epino of Lola’s Kitchen and Lito and Liza Sare of Tamis Café for participating in this year's FRMC. Both restaurants offer Filipino food catering and are particularly known for kamayan-style feasts.

Tamis Café is a Filipino fine dining restaurant which features unique Filipino dishes, savoury menu choices, specialty desserts, and exotic cocktails. It is located on Bank Street in the heart of Centretown.

Lola’s Kitchen’s owner Kim Epino, inspired by his Lola (grandmother) and with his passion for cooking, put a fresh spin on her grandmother’s recipes and brought the beloved Filipino food to Ottawa residents. Lola’s Kitchen, located at Somerset, is a great spot for friends or family for a dinner get-together with an “at home” atmosphere.
