HALINÁ Modern Filipino Kitchen + Bar: Calamansi Cocktails and Filipino Plates in East Vancouver

Northwest of New Westminster, in Vancouver’s Hastings-Sunrise neighbourhood, Halina pairs a modern Filipino menu with a cocktail list built on calamansi, ube, pandan and lemongrass. It suits an after-work drink as easily as a full dinner.

A Lively Room on East Hastings

The dining room in Hastings-Sunrise has a long bar, warm wood and pendant lighting, and Halina describes the vibe as lively and welcoming, with upbeat music and food that celebrates both tradition and style.

It is the grown-up version of Bigboy’s Chigs To-Go, the takeout and catering business four friends started before opening the restaurant.
