| - This is a brunch only review - Toba also serves weekday lunch and dinner however I have not tried either.
The brunch at Toba cant be beat. I travel from the west end to the east just to have brunch served up the way I like it.
Decor - the restaurant is typical of the area in that it is a long and thin room and does not have a lot of tables. Up front there are 3 tables that look out onto the street, followed by the bar area (which has some seating), then followed by the majority of the tables stretching to the back where the kitchen is. One can see the cooks working their magic in an open kitchen environment. The decor is simple and clean, the tables sturdy wood and covered with a clean paper tablecloth changed after each meal. Lovely plates and cups and solid silverware.
The staff at Toba are amazing. You get solid attention when they come see you and every time I have been, they have been very helpful with the menu items. The first thing up is of course the drinks. They make amazing coffees, teas, fresh juices, and are well known for the caesars (although at $9, I find them a bit pricey).
Do yourself a favour; make sure you order one of the scones. They are made on the premises, and come on a lovely tin plate with a dollop of fresh cream and homemade jam. To die for! I always split one with whoever I am with, as it can be filling.
The menu is fairly limited, but everything they make is done to perfection. I am a fan of eggs benny and they do all of the various types (florentine, veronique, etc). The wilted spinach with aged cheddar on chipotle bread is my fav. It comes with large chunks of roasted potatoes, and several chunks or slices of fresh fruit (pineapple, melon, strawberry, etc).
There is always a fresh tart (both a meat and vegetarian option), which comes with the same sides. One can opt for a typical breakfast (2 eggs anyway you like, roast potatoes, side of fruit, salad).
There are also omelets, steaks and various lovely sides.
The price is totally worth it in my opinion. I dont find it expensive and usually spend about $20 including tip. If you have a special coffee or something to start, it will cost around $25 per person, but everything you get is top notch and prepared so well that you will leave totally satisfied.
I love Toba Brunch!
p.s. I was just asked below if this place is good for kids; I would say this: If your kids are well behaved, then yes, bring them along. If they are little brats, then no, of course not. LOL
Sorry, had to say it. I have seen lots of families that have little kids with them at Toba and they have all been well behaved kids...
