SALE & PEPE 胡椒 鹽 牛排

Location: Yilan County, Yilan City
I searched online for a steakhouse in Yilan and thought it would be nice to try a non-chain restaurant. I found this place that only takes reservations by phone, which was a bit inconvenient for someone like me who is used to making reservations with just a click on my phone. However, it was fairly easy to book.

When we arrived on a weekend for lunch, there were only 1-2 other groups besides us. As a result, the food came out smoothly, and the service was quite good.

🌟 Pan-Seared Matsusaka Pork
This appetizer is a salad combined with pork and a very refreshing dressing, along with some fresh greens. It was a very delicious salad and didn’t make you feel like you were just eating grass. Very good!

🌟 Boneless Short Rib
It had a bit of sinew, but it was perfectly cooked so it didn’t feel uncomfortable. The texture of the meat paired with sea salt was very tasty. The quality of the beef was good, and the flavor was nice. Definitely worth ordering.

🌟 Daily Special
It was a calamari risotto with a pesto base. Overall, the pesto was well integrated into the rice, not overly greasy, and the risotto had a flavor that caters to Taiwanese tastes without being overly sticky. (I liked it 💕)

Overall, all the other dishes were quite good as well. The dessert, tiramisu, was soft in texture, with a moderate coffee flavor and balanced sweetness. Quite nice!
