Angel Shrimp and Poached Egg Brunch

Runny poached eggs come with garlic bread and springy angel shrimp. Once cut open, the yolk moistens the bread while the shrimp add bounce and fresh seafood flavor. Crisp salad and crunchy fried sides shift the plate among silky, refreshing, and crisp textures. Start here if you enjoy eggs with seafood and want plenty of variety in one meal.

Seared Salmon Fillet Risotto with Lemon Cream MetroBites visit photo

Seared Salmon Fillet Risotto with Lemon Cream

A thick salmon fillet is seared for a fragrant crust while staying tender inside, then paired with rich, silky cream risotto. Bright lemon acidity cuts through the dairy richness and salmon fat, moving from smoky sear to creaminess and a light citrus finish. It balances indulgence and freshness for diners who enjoy creamy mains with changing layers of flavor.

Caramel Apple French Toast MetroBites visit photo

Caramel Apple French Toast

Thick-cut toast soaks up the egg mixture for a moist, delicate, pudding-like center while retaining a toasted aroma around the edges. Apple slices add fresh fruit fragrance, and caramel sauce brings mellow sweetness, creating more depth with the tender toast. It is ideal for two people to share after savory dishes or as the sweet centerpiece of the meal.

✨ AI Visit Snapshot

Toast Chat is tucked into a lane on Zhongxiao East Road in Taipei's Da'an District, about a four-minute walk from Exit 2 of 忠孝復興站 · Zhongxiao Fuxing. This cat café combines brunch, Italian-style mains, French toast, and the company of resident cats. The food goes well beyond cuteness: poached eggs, salmon risotto, baked dishes, and desserts all come in satisfying portions. It suits cat lovers, meals with friends, or anyone who wants to linger over lunch in a wood-toned space.

Interior and dining atmosphere:The new location uses cream and earth tones, with warm yellow lighting and natural daylight. Wood, rattan, and curved furniture create a soft meeting of wabi-sabi and modern minimalism. The window seats are especially bright, making both food and cats easy to photograph. The five resident cats wander naturally among the seats, rattan furniture, and windowsills—sometimes patrolling the room, sometimes resting peacefully. Spacious and quiet, the café works for conversation or slowing down alone.
Location and dining notes:The address is 台北市大安區忠孝東路三段248巷11號, about a four-minute walk from Exit 2 of 忠孝復興站 · Zhongxiao Fuxing. Reservations are available on weekdays, while weekends use an on-site waiting list. Children under twelve are not admitted. You may pet the resident cats gently, but do not pick them up, chase them, or wake a sleeping cat. Avoid flash photography so cats and guests can both keep a comfortable distance.
Angel Shrimp and Poached Egg Brunch

This brunch plate brings together runny poached eggs, garlic bread, and springy angel shrimp. The yolk adds moisture to the bread, while the shrimp provide clear bounce and fresh seafood flavor. Salad and fried sides round out the main elements, creating a progression from crisp vegetables and crunchy accompaniments to silky eggs. It is a good choice for anyone seeking a varied combination on one plate.

Seared Salmon Fillet Risotto with Lemon Cream

The thick-cut salmon fillet is seared for a fragrant crust while remaining tender inside. Beneath it, the cream risotto is rich and silky, while lemon brings bright acidity that keeps the dairy and fish oils from feeling heavy. Salmon, risotto, and lemon each retain a clear role, moving from smoky sear to creaminess and finally a light citrus note.

Baked Creamy Spinach Lasagna

A generous layer of baked cheese covers the top, browned to golden spots, with soft yet resilient pasta sheets underneath. The creamy filling is deeply milky, while spinach contributes gentle sweetness and a vegetal note for an overall texture that is smooth and easy to eat. Cheese has a strong presence from the stretchy surface to the sauce in the dish, making this ideal for fans of rich, creamy bakes.

焗烤奶油菠菜千層麵

Caramel Apple French Toast

After absorbing the egg mixture, the thick-cut French toast becomes moist and soft, with a delicate, pudding-like center and a toasted aroma at the edges. Apple slices bring fresh fruit fragrance and natural sweetness, while caramel sauce adds mellow sweetness. The two layers of sweetness complement each other without becoming cloying, and the combination of apple, caramel, and tender toast feels more complete than a simple sweet toast.

Uncle's saying: No need to chase the cats or hurry the aromas. Sit comfortably, and they will naturally wander through your afternoon.
