Elio's, a new Filipino restaurant, opened its doors on the south side of Edmonton on October 12 and is now in its soft opening phase. Located at 335 Parsons Rd. SW, the spot is built on a philosophy that food is more than sustenance. "Filipino food has always been more than just food," the team wrote on Instagram. "It's home, history, family, and gathering around a table filled with good food and even better company."
The menu centres on familiar Filipino favourites. Diners can order Bacolod chicken inasal — a grilled chicken marinated in citrus and spices — alongside pork BBQ and lechon kawali, a crispy pork belly. Dishes come in combo or à la carte formats, with soup and rice sides available, plus select pop beverages.
Hours as of October 16 are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, open seven days a week. The restaurant represents nearly a year of development before its opening this month.
