Very nice location for a good brunch. Terrasse was pretty nice too. Food was excellent & warm. Bread was a little overcooked or stale, hard to chew at any rate.

What a great discovery! We stopped by in a rush in the morning. It was 9h30, & they were not even open, but the guy let us in & served us coffee. I had the almond/pistacchio latte, & it was one of the best lattes I've had in a while!
We went back later after our appointment for ?lunch. The food was simply amazing, tasted delicious, a generous portion, well made, tasted like homemade food but very well presented. My mom had a colorful rice & lamb, & I had the celery/mint lamb. Both were delicious.
The desserts were also very good.
The service was great, & the server was very friendly.
I highly recommend the place for coffee & lunch.

I recently visited Cafe Toranj with a friend & I had such a fantastic experience! From the moment we arrived, I felt like royalty! The atmosphere was warm & inviting, with a cozy vibe that made it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The staff is incredibly friendly & attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed & more! I truly felt catered to!

The food was absolutely delicious, & the Zéphyr dish was a standout! Full of vibrant flavors, fresh ingredients, & perfectly balanced! It was a true delight! Every bite was a treat, & I could tell the dish was made with care & attention to detail. The coffee was also fantastic, rounding off the experience beautifully.

If you want to feel pampered while enjoying amazing food, I highly recommend Cafe Toranj.
I can't wait to return for more of their incredible dishes!

Thank you for such an amazing experience!
