People of Leslieville are spoilt for breakfast/brunch places. We didn't feel like waiting in line for Lady Marmalade, we didn't want anything too fancy like Joy Bistro, something a little more classy than Leslieville Diner and Leslie Jones wasn't open (is this place ever open??) so Toast it was!
Ok, there was a short line but it moved quickly and before I could finish perusing the Eye magazine article on Rob Ford (noooo!), we were seated in the area by the kitchen. comfortable and interesting decor.
Our server was very friendly though I was a bit apprehensive about asking the other two servers for some milk to go with my tea as they were flying back n' forth between the kitchen, it looked difficult to break their momentum.
My order was the huevos rancheros while my husband went for the eggs florentine. My huevos rancheros came with a slighty crispy thing (yes, not quite sure if it could be called a tortilla. kind of like that thick, fried shell you get with a taco salad at Taco Hell). It came with a nicely flavoured salad and some hash browns. The main part of my dish was slightly too salty and the hash browns were slightly too cold. My husband seemed to enjoy his dish although it looked a little on the bland side.
Toast serves up a decent breakfast/brunch and the portions are good but I just found it middle of the road. With so many breakfast/brunch places vying for patrons in this area, I'm not sure a 3-star average is enough to make me a regular.
