Signature dishes include everything from Smoked Brisket Hash to Pistachio Shredded Toast, featuring phyllo with a ricotta and mozzarella filling soaked in sweet orange blossom sauce, to their signature Eggs in Purgatory; a sourdough bread bowl cradling poached eggs in a spicy shashuska sauce, mushrooms, bacon, feta, scallions and mint, along with a variety of “Toasts” and breakfast salads.
For those seeking a kickstart to their day, Toast showcases a menu brimming with breakfast cocktails, featuring Flaming Coffee; a rich intermingling of coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar and fire, and their decadent Boozey Start; a combination of coffee, brandy, Grand Marnier and Kahlua topped off with whipped cream and an orange peel. A selection of Bloody Marys are also available alongside Sangrias, Bubblys, Micheladas and original cocktails including their irresistible Lavender Lady; a lavender cordial made with lime juice, champagne and lavender bitters.
