Toast

Toast has been doing the lively neighborhood-brunch thing for years, but the bacon fried rice is what separates it from every other breakfast place. It is savory, satisfying, and more interesting than another plate of eggs and potatoes. Order it as the main event or at least make it the side everyone steals.

Get the bacon fried rice. If you order something else, still put one on the table.

You want a savory, substantial brunch and would rather have something memorable than the usual breakfast plate.

You want a quiet, formal breakfast or brunch without any energy.
