toto BURGER

Part of the appeal of the Toto Burger is that you choose not only the style of burger but also the fish inside. The fish listed at the shop include salmon, horse mackerel and cod, with the selection sometimes changing from day to day. One diner said tartar sauce worked well with the cod burger and enjoyed it with its substantial bun; another remembered the generous portion of fried horse mackerel. Choosing the fish before ordering offers a change from a more familiar meat burger at lunchtime.

The menu offers different ways to enjoy fish and seafood. Toto Dog comes with a large shrimp, while Toto Panini pairs white fish with dough made with cheese. Toto Tatsuta Burger is filled with tuna tatsuta-age—tuna coated and fried—and Toto Teri Burger features swordfish in teriyaki sauce. Beyond burgers, there is Toto Curry topped with two horse mackerel fries, as well as fish and chips with a choice of sauces. These options make it easy to put something other than a burger at the centre of the meal.

For a side, Toto Salad is a carpaccio-style salad topped with fish. There are also fries and onion rings, whether you want a small extra with your burger or a plate of fish and chips. Drinks include berry tea soda with mixed berries, coffee and dry ginger ale. Beer and hard cider are also listed, so check the menu when you visit if you would like a drink with your burger or fish and chips.
