Cristiano Ronaldo’s Dubai Restaurant: A Breakfast to Remember
Football fans and food lovers alike are flocking to Dubai’s latest breakfast hotspot – TOTO. A creation backed by football legend Cristiano Ronaldo and tennis star Rafael Nadal, the restaurant first opened in the summer of 2024, promising not just a meal but an experience. Located in the heart of Downtown Dubai, TOTO has quickly gained attention, with the restaurant offering a chic blend of sports and elegance. Recently, the venue launched a tantalizing new breakfast menu, served daily from 9 am to 1 pm, featuring dishes starting at Dhs30. Intrigued by the buzz, I decided to check out the new offerings and see if the food was as impressive as the names behind it.
Setting the Scene: Italian Cinema Meets Dubai Chic
Walking into TOTO is like stepping into a scene from a glamorous Italian film of the 1950s or 60s. The decor is a feast for the eyes, with large, black-and-white photographs of iconic film stars gracing the walls. The large chandeliers and high ceilings enhance the feeling of spaciousness and sophistication. While the indoor ambiance is chic, I opted to sit outside to enjoy the beautiful Dubai weather. The outdoor seating area is shaded throughout the morning, providing the perfect spot to enjoy the views of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Blvd, where the world moves at a leisurely pace.
The furniture is solid and stylish, with grey tables and comfy cushions offering a touch of luxury. One of the standout features of the restaurant is its pet-friendly policy. You may just find a furry friend sitting next to you, hoping for a taste of your meal! The atmosphere here feels just right for a relaxed weekend brunch – a perfect spot to sip tea, enjoy good company, and escape the rush of the city.


The Breakfast Menu: Affordable Luxury
Now, let’s talk about the breakfast menu – the real reason for my visit. TOTO’s breakfast menu is accessible, with prices starting from just Dhs30 for a simple but tasty Cornetto croissant. The dishes range up to Dhs65, with standout items like the indulgent Eggs Benedict with salmon. For those looking for a more traditional breakfast, there are classic options like scrambled eggs with veal, mozzarella, and spinach, or the rich and savory Omelette Al Parmigiano (Dhs50).
I started with the Omelette Al Parmigiano. It was a delight – the eggs were soft and perfectly cooked, complemented by a rich, cheesy filling that was satisfying without being too heavy. The dish was a simple yet well-executed classic, setting the tone for the rest of the meal.
However, if you’re in the mood for something a little different, the scrambled eggs with veal, mozzarella, and spinach is another great option. The combination of veal and cheese adds a touch of richness to the comfort-food classic. These dishes are the epitome of a lazy Sunday morning indulgence, offering just the right balance of flavors.
Sweet Temptations: Pastries and More
No breakfast is complete without something sweet, so I couldn’t resist trying a few of TOTO’s pastry options. I opted for the Croissant Pistachio (Dhs45), which was visually stunning and Instagram-worthy. However, while the presentation was on point, the pastry itself didn’t quite hit the buttery, flaky notes that I was hoping for. It was good but not exceptional – the filling could have been richer. Nonetheless, the range of options available is enough to please any sweet tooth.
Other items that caught my eye included the Yoghurt Granola (Dhs45), which is light yet satisfying, and the Pancakes (Dhs40), which are perfect if you’re craving something indulgent but not too heavy. These dishes could easily complement your savory options, ensuring a well-rounded meal.
The Verdict: TOTO’s Breakfast is a Winner
So, how did TOTO fare? If you’re looking for a chic spot to enjoy a relaxed breakfast while enjoying a touch of luxury, this is the place to be. The restaurant provides a laid-back yet stylish atmosphere, making it an ideal setting for both casual mornings and special occasions. The breakfast menu is perfect for those who want to experience a high-end venue at affordable prices. While the pastries could use a little fine-tuning, the savory dishes are spot on.
For those seeking a unique experience in Downtown Dubai, TOTO ticks all the boxes – great ambiance, tasty food, and a pet-friendly environment. Whether you’re an ardent Ronaldo fan or just someone looking to enjoy a high-quality breakfast, this restaurant offers something for everyone. With dishes starting from just Dhs30, it’s an excellent way to enjoy a luxurious meal without breaking the bank.
In a city like Dubai, where dining out can sometimes be an expensive affair, TOTO’s new breakfast menu offers a refreshing and accessible way to indulge in the finer things in life. So, the verdict? Another goal scored for Ronaldo and his team. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their mouthwatering offerings!
