TOASTERiA CAFE 吐司利亞 - 敦南店｜地中海廚房｜約會聚餐首選｜客製化包場外燴｜異國料理｜寵物友善｜家庭聚會｜親子友善餐廳

Cute little cafe restaurant with Mediterranean inspired foods. They have friendly and helpful staff. It might be best to make a reservation on weekends because they get really busy. I got lucky and was able to grab a spot at the bar.

Came here with my friends for brunch and had such a great time! The place has a cozy atmosphere and the food was absolutely delicious 😋. Their brunch menu has a nice variety - from sandwiches and pasta to fresh Mediterranean dishes. The portions are generous, and the presentation makes everything look so good The staff were friendly, and the café is such a nice spot to chill, chat, or even work a bit. We all agreed it’s one of the best brunch spots we’ve tried!

Lovely little cafe tucked away in the alley. Offers great western food and one of the better places for coffee. Had the Philly cheese steak sandwich with fries and a ice cafe latte. Overall the place had a nice charm to it, staff were very friendly and do speak English! Their menu on the app had English option too. Would definitely recommend this place!

Loved the laid-back vibes here—perfect for a slow, satisfying brunch. The food was spot on: crispy fries, cheesy melts, creamy mushroom skillet, and a super fresh yogurt dip. The green shakshuka with runny yolks was a highlight! Come hungry. Leave happy. And definitely come back again. 🥰

this is my second time here and i love this place. definitely a must go place in taipei imo, especially if you’re craving western brunch food it’s on the pricier end but everything is delicious and of such great quality. the fries are standout good; they’re crispy, hot, and fresh. we ordered 3 different toasties (cubano, chicken jack cheese, and the grilled cheese fourtet), and all were amazing

Good tapas restaurant, upstairs seating is well laid out. No reservation but was seated Immediately with no issue. The meatballs and the Hummus was very tasty, and the Cubano sandwich was delicious! Kind servers and staff, food a little expensive but still good value.

Celebrated my girlfriend's birthday here. The dishes were meticulously prepared with attention to detail. Grilled meat was so delicious and came with really interesting sauces. Note that most of their food came with pita bread or some other similar equivalent - so servings can be big and filling. Really good service from the staff and lady boss.

Food was one of a kind, I wouldn't say it's utterly delicious, but it is definitely unique to my taste. Something different, I'll say. Our friends recommended us here so we gave a try. Pasta was delish, Tiramisu was amazing, but the toasted cheese bread tasted weird. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves. 😉

Oh my God delicious. Best food in Taipei! Get the hummus, salads, pastas, everything is just amazing. And can even bring your pet here. My favorite place to eat in Taiwan. Staff are also great. TEN stars out of five!!!

I was really looking forward to trying out Toasteria and the food really did not disappoint! Came for Sunday lunch and the place was rather crowded, make sure to make a reservation beforehand. Service is great: we were treated to some complimentary red wine and the servers are all kind and helpful. The food also arrived very quickly after ordering! The menu is extensive and since every single item sounds fantastic, we had such a hard time deciding what to order. I would recommend their paninis (we got the inside-out panini), which are perfectly grilled and come with hot, crispy fries. The shakshuka was also really tasty, and the pita it comes with was soft and fluffy. The hot chocolate drink is AMAZING--I haven't had hot chocolate in so long, and the one they serve is rich and thick. Also--a big bowl of Hershey's kisses by the register! A perfect sweet way to top off a wonderful meal.

OMG. TIRAMISU and BEET PICKLED EGGS PERIOD. SOOOOOO BOMB. I was so intrigued by their beet pickled eggs. It was sooo good. Such a brilliant idea. We ordered their Panini Sandwich and the Quiche. It was pretty good for Taiwan. The decor is so cute. Price was a little expensive but Its located in a good area. Their baba ganoush was also bomb.

I've been to Toasteria many many times and what really amazes me is that not matter when I go, I can always expect the food to be just as good. I love love love their red sauce seafood pasta, and for how much seafood they give you for $400, I think it's a bargain, and the taste is just heavenly. Then it's Mexican chicken panini. For some reason their chicken is never dry and not to mention that special aoli they give you for the fries. And just when I thought it can't get any better, we were recommended by the staff to order their clams and the taste was umami and the clams are juicy and big! And I just realized that rose is organic! It paired with their clams and lamb perfectly! Definitely gonna try some of their other stuff outside of my comfort zone from now on! BTW, they accept credit cards now!

I went there with friends for a drink. Quit nice place with good music ( they have DJ!)and hospitality waiters ~ The price of liquor is 200-300$. Which is really nice though... (regular price should be 300-400$) If u go there in the day time, better make a reservation. But night time, no need ~ even isn't crowded at Saturday night.

Honestly if you closed your eyes and let your fingers land on whatever item thats on the menu, I promise you that its going to be good. The food here, hands down, best of its class, allow me to introduce this scrumptious resturant, i kid you not, if you just ate, you will wanna eat again. Stat off with the one and only Shakshuka Lamb / 羊肉夏卡蘇卡 (Mediterran Breakfast Section and yes you can eat this for brunch, lunch or dinner. #savage #lmfao) -------------------------------------------------- Classic Grilled Cheese / 經典烤起司 Grilled jack and cheddar cheese with good olive oil and house aioli 烤杰克和切達起司，佐頂級橄欖油和檸檬酸豆美乃滋 // We also got a side of fries, not them regular MickyD fires, or any of those fast food ones, but fat, juicy, OIL AF fries. YAS. GAS. Moroccan poached eggs in onion tomato sauce, Moroccan lamb, feta cheese and shaved almonds. Served with a side of Hummus, tomato caper salsa and toasted Pita bread / 摩洛哥式水波蛋佐洋蔥蕃茄紅醬小鐵鍋、搭配摩洛哥孜然羊碎肉、烤杏仁片和費達起司，附上鷹嘴豆泥、蕃茄酸豆沙拉和香烤皮塔麵包. // Don't share this plate of orgasmic goodness with your friends. ------------------------------------------------- Its the so good with all that egg, tomato, lamb, cheese, hafl teh stuff I don't even know what it means but good gracious, I am down for seconds. but lets get down to the nitty gritty details that you came here for. Was it EXPENSIVE? yes Was it WORTH IT? yes Would I come again? This was my 4ths time. So yeah, it aint cheap but it sure does make you miss home. They need Chipotle Mexican Grill in Taiwan

Lots of different flavoured sandwiches to choose from. We got the tuna one and their famous steak one. Both were very yummy, nice flavors with salad and sauces. The fries were also tasty, very crispy on the outside, however, the potato was too ?airy for my liking (ie too fluffy/not dense enough). The iced fruit tea was also very good, nice and refreshing, balanced out the heaviness of the sandwiches very well :) There are also lots of alcoholic drink options. Friendly, attentive service. 1.5 hour dining limit only if busy.

surprisingly served up a few authentic Mediterranean dishes. Solid hummus and well seasoned and flavored chicken shawarma. Tried a Cubano, which was a decent sandwich so long as you don't actually expect to eat a Cubano. Falafel was too dry and light. Do not recommend it. Please note that I m giving a 4 star review because this is in Taipei so the standard is lower. If this was in LA then I would give it 3 stars. Bottom line a decent spot if you are craving some hummus and pita bread while in Taipei.

Waltzed in with a friend here on a Wednesday night at around 7pm. There was a slight wait -- around 10 minutes or so. The server brought us to the second floor and seated us in an open-air area facing the opposing building. Food: Smoked Salmon Cheese Panini w/ egg in the hole (7/10)- I really like the toast, it was cooked perfectly crispy, no signs of being overly grilled. The egg comes at an additional cost, but was totally worth it. It really complemented with the salmon, so I really recommend going for the egg. I don't eat much at all and the panini filled me up to around 80%. So, I imagine it wouldn't be enough to fill up a tummy of a grown man. My friend, a guy, got his panini with fries. The combo was just right. Fries on the side (8/10)- They were surprisingly pretty damn good, and came with this delicious dijon mustard sauce. Drinks: I got a frozen margarita (4/10). It wasn't strong at all and came in a really small glass (or maybe I'm just an alcoholic lol). They also have an assortment of beers. Overall (7/10): If you're craving paninis & sandwiches, this can be your go-to place.

One of my favorite restaurants in downtown (east district) Taipei. I've been eating at Toasteria since its "humble beginnings" in the Shida Night Market and followed them to the fashionable side of the city. Can there be anything wrong with grilled sandwiches? Not if you eat at Toasteria, which proudly states they only use the "good stuff", never substitutes. Toasteria is also a place that makes the vegetarian options just as delicious, if not more delicious, than the meat options. I often order meatless sandwiches and never feel like there's anything lacking. One of my favorites is the Sicilian. I don't usually eat fries (chips), but Toasteria is one of the few places I make an exception because their dipping sauce is so good! It's like a cross between honey mustard and tartar sauce. So if your server asks if you want a side of fries, say yes. Also take advantage of the side of pickles they give with every sandwich. Sometimes if you're visibly enjoying your pickles very, very, very, very much, they'll give you an entire plate of pickles. Okay, it was only that one time, but hey, it can happen again, right? Usually sandwiches are humble, comfort foods. Toasteria makes sandwiches cool. The restaurant is always packed. I think the fact that it bills itself as a "sandwich bar" and offers a lot of alcohol helps.

Toasteria is like my Old Faithful: it's consistent and never disappoints. Getting to Toasteria is easy--take the MRT to Zhongxiao Dunhua and take exit 8. Head north on Dunhua and make a right down Lane 161. Toast: - BBQ chicken grilled cheese - Goat cheese with roasted eggplant grilled cheese - Bacon brie grilled cheese - Mushroom pesto grilled cheese - Spicy grilled cheese - Tequila salmon pesto pasta I've tried more than I listed above, but those are the ones I've had more recently. My staples are usually the BBQ chicken and roasted eggplant, but really they are all pretty satisfying. You can add fries for NT90 or fries and a drink for NT110, which is a little steep to make a set meal, but the fries are good so I always do it. The pasta is pretty filling and huge, and a bit expensive at over NT350. But, I happen to like the tequila salmon pesto. Note that the pesto is creamy and quite garlic filled. Service is always pretty good and all servers speak English. I highly recommend making reservations for dinner always. While sometimes there is no wait, it is often full and waiting is necessary. You can make reservations afternoon of.

Great place for late dining's !! Carbonara pasta with cream sauce is top notch !! Crostini toast is must try!! Wines by bottles is very reasonable cheers !!

Want something else, after you've satisfied your taste for dumplings? I love grilled sandwiches and focaccia bread. This place has more combos than you can imagine. But also a few other things like pastas and salads. If you're on a low carb setting, this is not the place you want to be. It's not very easy to find though. After my first visit with friends I wanted to come back on my own. I got horribly lost. The fact that I forgot the name and don't speak a word of the language didn't help. Four visits and I will still come another time. This place can get very busy. So if you're planning on lunch or dinner best to call ahead or come early. They do have a few seats for walk in customers though. At busy times they set a max dining time.

For the last 5 years, each time I return to Taipei, I make this place a regular stop. The food is very tasty and has been consistent the entire duration. Now they have expanded, if there is a wait, it is just a few minutes. If you are in need of some western food at reasonable prices, this is the place. Note, they are open until 1:00am.

How did the French toast go from a pile of exotic fruit and mascarpone cheese to couple slices of banana, apple, and a sprinkle of blue berries... that is not the quality I expect from you guys... very disappointed:( not worth the price y'all charge!!!!

I have been looking for a good brunch place in taipei and I think I've found it now ! Toasteria is hands down my new favorite restaurant in town. I ordered two of the popular dishes- shaksuka jaffa mediterannean breakfast and meat lover grilled cheese ! I picked the outdoor seating on the second floor , great ambience,cozy restaurant decor and also very attentive staffs . Will definitely come back for more :)

I've heard so many positive things about Toasteria, and I was finally able to try it when I was in Taipei. I've only been here for dinner so I can't say much about their brunch, but my friend and I ordered a couple paninis, along with the pita and hummus. Even though I would say they weren't the best I've ever had, when you're missing some variety in your life after living in Taiwan for a couple months, this food tastes amazing. The ambience of Toasteria is great, and there is a very cozy vibe to the place. This is the perfect place for a dinner date, and I would recommend this place to any Westerner missing Mediterranean food, or any Taiwanese person wanting to try Mediterranean food. The free alcohol with a check-in on Facebook is also a very nice perk.

If grilled sandwiches are your thing then this is the place for a huge variety of them. I've been 2-3 times now and it never disappoints. The staff are very friendly and the side dish if pickles that come with every sandwich are delicious. However, in true Dongqu fashion the seats are close together and they don't take cards.

Ordered lamb spagbol and it was delicious! And the salmon w/ feta panini was great too. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside! Full of flavor !!!

Western Comfort food! Great staff, very welcoming and helpful. Great menu, lots of choices. Fashionable location amongst cool locals. Food turned up fast, and was delicious. I got a 'special' Philly cheesesteak sandwich, with an egg. The egg was dropped and cooked in a circular cut out of the toastie, which itself was served as a mini toastie. Hot, salty, greasy... I was feeling very comfortable after. The crowd was testimony to the quality of the food and popularity. I shall return.

SO GOOD...that i don't want to write this review, so the wait doesn't get even longer than it is currently... I was first introduced to this place through an ABC friend who came here for solid grilled cheese. But the yumminess goes beyond their grilled cheese (no need to go into it because they are just so heavenly). The dish we really enjoyed (that is not grilled cheese) was the Shakshuka Jaffa Moroccan poached eggs in onion tomato sauce! Its perfectly cooked with roasted pine nuts and spinach + a side of hummus and pita bread! They have opened a new location and I hope this will help with the wait... Because the wait for weekend brunch is just a killer.

I've eaten here twice, I've had the Sicilian (Classic Toast) and the Bolognese pasta as well as their DELICIOUS CHIPS. The Sicilian toasted sandwich is super good, cheesy and crunchy, definitely going back for more soon! The Bolognese was good but I personally preferred the toasted sandwich better. Their chips are probably the best I've had in Taiwan. Staff is quick to help and atmosphere was nice and warming. Tables were a little close together I felt like I was intruding on others conversations sometimes by just being there.

Amazing. That's the best word I can think of for this place. Awesome spot for date, friends, or a casual dinner party for celebrating something! The location is in a very trendy shopping area, and I love that they are open so late. The paninis are unforgettable, and the sangria pitcher was also delicious. Can't go wrong with anything on this menu honestly, and the manager frequently checked in on us to see how we were doing. Exceptional service and hospitality! Also some lovely seating indoors, at their bar, and outside on a balcony.

We came here as a little break from all the amazing street food we had been having in our trip to Taipei and this was exactly what we felt like! Great little placed tucked away with an awesome vibe inside. Great food and selection of drinks too. Highly recommend coming here for taste of something familiar when you are in Taipei. We shared the Rubano and Philly Cheese sandwiches. Both were fantastic.

Always have a great time here with close friends. Food, service and ambiance is great. Music sets the tone and is set at the right volume so that people don't have to shout to talk.

Toasteria is perfect for when you yearn for a taste of home. The self pronounced home of Grilled Cheese in Taipei, the focus is definitely on the paninis with a smorgasbord of forty different sandwiches to choose from - from the sublimely simple Classic Grilled Cheese (Grilled jack and cheddar cheese with olive oil) to the Philly Steak (Grilled sirloin steak, onion, bell pepper, in Philly gravy with melted cheddar & fresh basil, and honey mustard). Their motto is "No diet coke, no skim milk, no low fat cheese -only the good stuff!" and boy can you tell when you bite into one of their paninis. To give you an idea of the range they use Mozzarella, Buffalo Mozzarella, Pepper Jack, Feta, Gouda, Parmesan, Brie, Ricotta, Swiss, Cream cheese, and Mascarpone. They do pretty mean salads too - I particularly like the Tre Colori con Camaron (Grilled prawns, mixed greens and toasted shaved almonds, in balsamic reduction, olive oil, and fresh lemon squeeze). They have two branches this one offers an extended menu with fresh pasta dishes, to which you can add meats or fish to match your preference and a large breakfast menu. The restaurant is a two level Mediterranean-themed oasis from the bustling city, if you're lucky you can get a seat on their balcony upstairs. They also stay open pretty late if you're feeling like a late night snack or a few drinks.

Only here for the beers. Can't complain. Got my drink on and chilled the fxxx out here.

Overall: Good food with a lot of other items on the menu I would like to try. Attentive service in a crowded but welcoming location. Food: I had the Cubano with fries and my husband had the shakshuka. My sandwich was very good, nice to have the pickle to cut through the grease. The hummus served with my husband's dish was fluffy, but needed some more garlic. Service: This is where Toastaria stumbled a bit. Food took about 40 minutes to arrive. It was a holiday, but schools were still in session, so I can't imagine it was more crowded than on weekends. Once I inquired about the wait, all the staff were super nice and everything arrived within a few minutes. Also I had ordered fries that didn't make it into the order. After mentioning the omission, the piping hot fries were on the table quickly. Atmosphere: Cool, eclectic space. It seemed like it was going to feel cramped, but turned out to be ok, especially sitting next to the huge window.

Amazing food, good service, and very nice place. It was my first time there, and don't think I have anything bad to say about this place. Everything on the menu sounded scrumptious and as I was having a very hard time to decide I went for the classic Mediterranean breakfast. While it was simple (eggs, toasts, bacon, fries..) Everything was good and well done. The fries where amazing, extra crunchy! The little yogurt/granola was a very nice addition and the aioli was super yummy. Some pickled goodies on the side to complement it, and 2 drinks included with that, so you can get your much needed caffeine shot (the Americano was actual good coffee!!) but also some fruit juice. Very enjoyable for a price that I would qualify of "average" for brunch in Taipei. (I paid 310$ +service fee) My friend had a pulled pork sandwich full of flavors that she seemed to enjoy very much! We'll probably be back for more!

Toasteria is my favorite place in Taiwan for a sandwich that I have tried so far. I was able to try the Salami Goat Cheese (Classic Toast) and the Cubano (The Big Toast). I liked the Salami Goat Cheese more, but that was just personal preference (but it was easier to eat since it was panini pressed; the Cubano was a little messier since the pork would fall out). The great thing about Toasteria sandwiches are they don't skimp on flavor and meat (like many other sandwich places in Taiwan). The cafe has an extensive menu so everyone can find something that he or she would want to try. I would definitely return again to try something else on the menu. One thing to note about the cafe is that it seems to have limited three-person tables, so these tables are saved for 3-person parties. So even if the hostess has taken down your name and you are in a party of 2 waiting for a table, a party of 3 comes that comes in afterwards will have priority and will be seated first.

Love the atmosphere of this beautiful cafe. Lots of delicious sandwiches and drinks, AND THE ONLY KALIMOTXOS I'VE SEEN IN TAIPEI! Well done too. We've eaten here three times and have never been disappointed.

A great place to chill in the middle of the night. Me and my friends came here once during the evening after ten and once around noon. I love their wine collections, there are several great wines imported from Spain and Napa Valley. My favourite dish is their ham and cheese that comes in a appetiser form to go with the wine. The price is average, we got a bottle of wine and some appetiser like the animal fries and its around $NT1500/person. During this other time at lunch, we got the salad and pasta which was quite nice too but it was a bit heavy for lunch so I would suggest coming here for dinner.

This place had very nice decor and the service was decent. However, our friend got a raw mussel that wasn't cooked through. They then gave her a new one, but we wished they had comped her meal or just make a new one instead of just giving her one new mussel. Other than that little hiccup, the food were all delicious! I would go back.

I just love their food, so simple and so good. In the winter time I really enjoy there little terrace.

They use an in-house website for food delivery. It's quite unreliable. Waited for 2 hours tonight because they somehow overlooked my order.

Great atmosphere and love the second floor setup. Western style dishes were great and recommended for brunch. We went around Noon on a Saturday and had to wait around 10 minutes for bar seating so I recommend making a reservation. We had the tuna melt panini and goat cheese salad. We will be returning and will bring friends!

If you're craving grilled cheese toast, this is your go-to place, but I do however find it overrated. My experience at Toasteria went across the whole emotional range of feelings, from one end of the spectrum, to the other. Lets start with what I liked absolutely the best: THE FRIES. I mean, so good...and probably the best fries I have had in my lifetime so far. With a thin crunchy crust, perfectly fried and seasoned, they were good even cold and never went soggy. These are worth coming back for! Our toasts were fine, but just fine. Alright flavor, but the fried chicken inside my Chicken Parmesan tasted cheap, and there was very little sign of the promised parmesan or basil. Little did it taste of garlic, either. I was not impressed by this. Perhaps I should come back and try some of the classics..? We ordered frozen Margharitas to go with, please do not make the same mistake as us. These are possibly the worst margharitas I have tried in my life (if you're a fan of drinking tequila straight, this is up your alley though). We had to order sodas on the side to make them drinkable. The upstairs seating layout could be so much better, and several of the tables were so close together than you could hear the person next to you breath. If you have someone blowing their nose every 3.5 seconds on your L/H side, that will definitely help you lose your appetite. I personally value good service just as much as I value good food, which is why my review comes down from a 3 to a 2 (but with the possibility of change if we come back for the fries sometime). They should all take customer satisfaction classes ASAP, and if not find a "Smiling for Dummies"-book at the nearest book store. We were greated by a lovely guy that showed us our table upstairs, but that friendliness didn't last long. Upon leaving the restaurant we had left our bill on the table with the cash inside (we should perhaps have taken it downstairs?). As we were leaving we were grabbed by another girl who accused us of not leaving all the money, the bill was 1212 NTD, but they only found 1210 NTD. We had left them 1220, but somehow the last coin disappeared. Now excuse me, how cheap do you think we are? Had this been handled nicely, no problem, but in my opinion this was uncomfortable and quite unprofessional. I left them 50 NTD extra, and left.

Such a fun, trendy atmosphere with a huge menu and great food! Best selections of salads I've seen in Taipei, the goat cheese one is my favorite! The panini's are so delicious, my favorite is the tuna. Toasteria is definitely a must in Taipei!

Small little place, has up stairs and down stairs if your looking for a good grill cheese sandwich this is the place to go. The price is avg they also have some other stuff on the menu. But the sandwich is what make this place so special. Worth giving a shoot.

Great place to hang with friends on Girls night out! We ordered Cubano sandwich,and beef panini with fries. Soft drinks are okay and have free refill service!!! Sadly they don't take credit card anymore!

The food here is awesome, portions are big, loads of vegan options on the menu, quirky decor, good music, all in all a great place for hangout and brunch

Maybe it's hearing too many great comments about this place that left me feeling it's a bit overrated than it really is. Last time I was there I ordered a spicy cocktail just to try it out, worst decision ever. But oh well, sometimes you just got to take some risks in order to come across the extraordinary. Luck has it it didn't happen that night while I was there.

I really liked Toasteria. It's a Mediterranean restaurant with a young and hip feeling. The food we had was fresh, large portions and reasonably priced. The service was friendly and quick. Everyone spoke great English. We will definitely go back.

This place has great sandwiches. The pasta is overpriced, so I don't order it. I have had the fish and chips, on the other hand, and it is a good deal. Good sauces too. I had the draft beer once. It was obviously stale, but I don't go there for the beer.

Do not order Fish & Chips if you require malt vinegar. A bit disappointing, just a heads up.

I've never been a fan of sandwiches and I'll always take a bowl of noodles over bread, but this was hands down probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. My friend and I split a double cheese tuna melt with the hole in egg and fries and got a pomegranate lime sparkling soda to share. The fries were unusually good -- being from the US aka home of fat fries I really enjoyed the crispy and not too heavy texture of these fries as well as the amazing dipping sauce it came with. The hole in egg was absolutely dreamy if you're a fan of runny egg yolk like me. It paired really well with the hot sandwich and the heat cooked the very edges of the egg just a tad. Honestly a pretty genius idea to put an egg on toast and I'm not sure why nobody thought of it earlier lol... The sparkling soda was pretty standard but not bad. The interior, like all Taiwanese cafes, was very cute and comfortable. We received fast service (probably waited around 15 min or so for our food) and we were also seated just 5 min after we went in. Overall recommend, even if you're not a sandwich fan like me :^)

Large portion of good old fashioned sandwiches, Recommended for a gathering or a night out.
