Toro, Boston

There are places in Boston that are popular for reasons I do not understand. And then there are places like Toro, 1704 Washington Street, Boston, MA, Tel +1 (617) 536-4300. Toro is popular because it is good. The food is good. The venue is good. The service is good. The coffee is not horrible. You can even get an Aperol Spritz.

Ludo Pesto Scrambled Eggs

If you're looking for a tasty serve of scrambled eggs to get you through a day at the office, come to Ludo, 118 Queen Street, Melbourne, Tel +61 3 9670 9488. The scrambled eggs are delicious and creamy. The bacon is crispy. And the mushrooms kick arse. Fat, juicy slices of mushy, fried in butter and sage. Possibly the best I've had. Yum.



I have it on good authority that the scrambles are made with rather a lot of cream (a la Bills), but who's complaining? And if bacon and mushies don't do it for you, try the Milawa chevre and some smoked salmon. Or chow down on classics like BLT, muesli, porridge, fruit toast and Brown's croissants (with jam or ham and cheese).

The service is friendly, efficient and always good; the venue is tasteful and intimate; and the Illy coffee consistently good. In case you can't tell, I am quite a fan of Ludo.
