Tosaria Cafe & Restaurant

My son and I came across this lovely cafe whilst we were travelling through Rowville. A lovely looking cafe that serves delicious lunches and superb drinks. We both had a very enjoyable light lunch at a fairly reasonable price. We will definitely return in the near future and this will bring the oldest boy too.

I was very underwhelmed by this restaurant. At a table of 9, with a variety of entrees and mains, the kids fish and chips seemed to be the best meal. The rest was average, with little flavour, some dishes were very very salty. The menu seemed to try and have an asian influence but did it poorly.
The service was polite and tried but the 3 different people to tend to our table did not know the menu or simple things like what the soup of the day was. They did however each time go to find out for us.
The restaurant itself is nice, you can converse with the people at your table quite easily. Prices were reasonable, but not when the food is so average. We will not return or recommend.

Had a lovely meal today. Great food, taste was fantastic, just a little light on. Hubby had the Tuesday Steak special, he thought it was perfectly cooked and loved it it. I had the Lamb salad, the flavours were amazing. We also ordered 2 kids meals for a 5 and a 7 year olds, and thought they loved the food, cleaned the plates, but both whinged the whole way home because they were still hungry. Could have padded out the meals even with chips. Really good variety of meals to choose from for the adults, only 4 kids meals (the usual fish, chicken, steak with chips or spaghetti bolognaise). All up a great restaurant, good food, good service. Will go again, but may need to order an extra bowl of chips for on the side.

Approximate cost: $15-$35

I went to this great little cafe for breakfast on a Sunday. The prices were good. The bacon and poached eggs was what you would expect - tasted fine but nothing special. My milkshake was delicious and the vegetarian breakfast also looked very nice on the plate. It's a shame this cafe is located amongst factories as many people would miss it.

A great little find in amongst the industrial estate of Rowville. We were quite surprised to find a restaurant of this caliber there. They have an extensive menu and meals to suit a range of tastes. IThey are fully licenced so no BYO but they do have a nice little Shiraz labelled for Tosario and quite pleasant for $25 a bottle. I ordered a Thai prawn Salad which was delicious but could have been "padded out" with a bit of greenery. Dessert was banana and sticky rice dumplings with vanilla icecream topped with peanuts at $10.90 a bit on the expensive side for a dessert but very yummy nonetheless. When the final came we were overcharged by $10 according to the menu price when we questioned this they mentioned that we had been asked if we wanted a main or entree but the menu did not mention the difference in price nor were we told the difference. After apologising they refunded the $10 ( after a bit of prompting). Still a lovely meal, lovely staff and we will be back.

A little oasis in the middle of a light industrial area. Highly recommend for brekky, or brunch but our lunch with friends was delightful. Food magnificent and so very reasonably priced. A good wine list too, and they don't go the gouge with prices.
