I was very surprised to see no line out the door when I visited Dazzling Cafe this past weekend. This cafe is widely popular in Taiwan, and the line-ups there are usually insane (or maybe people just enjoy queues there!).
The interior decor and vibe brought me back to my home country, and the menu is pretty much the same as well. Service is cheery and our orders arrived pretty fast.
The Taiwanese popcorn chicken was one of the more authentic ones I've tasted in Toronto, so it'll definitely be a staple when I visit again. The chicken thigh basil pesto pasta I ordered was not the best, but the truffle mushroom rice was delicious (especially if you are a cheese lover).
Of course, we had to order the honey toast - we opted for the hazelnut option. The size is not as large as the honey toast I've had at Petit Potato, but we could never finish that anyway. If you instagram or post on Facebook a picture of the honey toast, you receive 10% off your bill!
Overall, Dazzling is an incredibly cute cafe - perfect for catching up with girlfriends and to indulge in Instagrammable desserts!
