Restaurant Review
Taipei Restaurant: Toasteria
Take a plain grilled cheese sandwich, add some pesto, sun-roasted tomatoes, and some grilled mushrooms and you’ve got a modern twist on a classic grilled cheese sandwich.
Toasteria has turned grilled Panini sandwiches into an art form, and with over twenty styles of sandwiches to choose from, we promise you’ll find at least one grilled creation on the menu to call your own.
The tiny open-air sandwich café is snuggled in between Alleycat’s Pizza and Sante in Zhongxiao Dunhua’s district. On any given day, you’ll find their front patio packed with sandwich lovers.
If you’re not into sandwiches, I highly recommend the fish and chips.
Weight-watchers beware. Toasteria uses only the best ingredients and there are no substitutes. You won’t find any diet beverages or low-fat choices on the menu here.
Meals range from NT$140-NT $250.

Ha, the weight watchers comment made me smile. A croque monsieur (grilled cheese & ham sandwich) is one of my favourite snacks & a standard on any lunch menu here. So I was shocked to find out how many weight watchers “points” it has, I always thought of it as a “light lunch” option… was I wrong
. Still it is absolutely heaven when done well, I’m sure I couldn’t resist one of the specimens at toasteria.
Yummmm!!!! Now this is mouthwatering, i am (jokingly) thinking that Taiwan only offered dimsum!
Your blog is great, you might like to come and party with us at the World Wide Travel Blog Party, don’t forget to invite more of your blogger friends along. Definitely the more the merrier! See you there and Kudos to you!
tbh Toasteria is crappy, generally there’s nothing in the panini (unlike the picture) making it over priced 2 pieces of bread…
there’s much better food about taipei and I would never recommend this place to anyone. (nor will i ever go back there).
Toasteria is awesome!! Best panini I’ve ever had. The little bowl on the side is marinated olives and pickles. MAJOR garlic flavor and fantastic for garlic lovers. I’ve been twice so far. First time, had the Cuban — delish!! Second time the BBQ chicken. I don’t know why “Axe” would say there is nothing in the sandwich. It is cock full of deliciousness. Lots of pork and chicken in both sandwiches I had there. PLUS!!! They have certain specials during the week. I believe Wednesdays is free fries day. If you spend over 200, you get free fries. Basically, all you have to do is order a sandwich and a drink and you hit the 200 mark so it’s a great deal. Service was great, iTunes music was superb. Great vibe there! There fries are also totally awesome.
