Great Western Meals for any Time of the Day at Toasteria

Toasteria is a hip place to dine and drink either morning, afternoon or in the evening.

Toasteria

It has two branches in Taipei, one at a prime location in Dongmen and the other in the Fuxing area, offering a wide range of mainly Mediterranean food.

As the name suggests, they also have a large selection of paninis and other toasted snacks. The pita toast is an unusual find in Taipei, so we chose the pesto muchroom pita, served with chips, pickles and olives. Delicious!

Toasteria

Food styles offered are:

  • Panini
  • Pasta
  • Breakfast/brunch
  • Arabic (hummus/pitta, shakshuka)
  • Cheese Tables
  • Salads
  • Desserts

Their Arabic food is especially good, with the deliciously moreish Shakshuka which comes with pitta and hummus – not bettered in Taipei.

The pasta dishes offer a choice of four types of pasta (penne, fettuccine, spaghetti, casarecce) and look great on the menu although we have yet to try any.

If you come during brunch time, they have a small selection of Mediterranean style breakfasts including Spanish Tortillas or the more healthier bowl of fruit, nuts and cereal with a choice of milk or yogurt. Both guaranteed to satisfy your cravings.

If none of these take your fancy, they have a good selection of omelettes too.

The only slight letdown was the mediocre salad we had.

They also serve some tasty drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), including very good cocktails which are much cheaper than those in cocktail bars, and have a few fine beers on tap.

The branches are both very nice places to eat, with their modern industrial feel, they’re up there with the best. The Dongmen branch is especially good.

Price-wise, you’ll end up paying more than your average restaurant in Taipei, but it’s definitely worth it.
