Takefive Wufang Shicang Zhongxiao Store is located in the alleys of Zhongxiao East Road in the Daan District of Taipei City. The closest MRT station is Zhongxiao Dunhua Station, Exit 3, which is about a 3-minute walk.

The store's decor features warm wood and deep green tiles, complemented by many plants, giving it a strong design sense. Upon entering, there are seats with large windows that allow for great natural light, and the interior also has quieter semi-private dining areas, suitable for different types of customers. The store not only offers meals, but it's also a small supermarket, providing various wines, ingredients, sauces, dried goods, and seasonings from different places.

At the central counter, you place your order after choosing from the menu on the blackboard and find a seat near the refrigerated display. After the meal, you can settle the bill using cash, card, or mobile payment; the invoice includes a service fee.

Photos of the meals and dining experiences are below ⬇️
In addition to the meals in the photos, I also ordered a latte after the meal.
The comments below do not consider price; most dishes lean towards milder flavors, showcasing the original taste of the ingredients and offering many uncommon European dishes.
Today, my supervisor brought us to this restaurant (the supervisor wanted to eat roasted chicken, and we casually joined for a meal and chat 😅). Personally, I think it's a good restaurant, but if I had to pay myself, I would reconsider… (Each dish is about 50% above the expected price, plus a 10% service fee) It’s a bit pricey for small office workers… (Thanks to my supervisor, and I admire my supervisor… 🥺)

🔸Bonito Flakes with Mustard Seeds and Burdock $140 🔸Quinoa Yogurt with Blue Flower $140 🔸Garlic Anchovy with Cauliflower and Horseback Cheese $190 The chilled dishes in the fridge aren't very large in portion. Great for a fresh and healthy option; tastes good but might be a bit hard to understand (?).

🔸Italian Fried Seafood $430 Coated in a light batter and fried fresh, there are many types of seafood, the portion is average, and it goes well with the sauce.

🔸Shiso Baby Octopus Risotto $620 Big baby octopus! Generous portion size. The squid ink risotto has a somewhat firm texture and a unique seasoning (shiso?). The flavor is a bit strong but quite delicious; it's worth a try.

🔸Duck leg with mashed potatoes $490 The duck leg is beautifully roasted, not too tough. It doesn’t have much seasoning. The mashed potatoes are delicious, and the vegetables have a grilling pattern 😂

🔸 Bai Yong Ham and Sesame Leaf Pizza $520 It is a thin-crust pizza topped with ham and cherry tomatoes. In the middle, there is sesame leaf, which you can pick up and wrap together with the leaves to eat. The flavor is relatively light, and it's somewhat difficult to understand.

🔸 Roasted Half Chicken with Seasonal Vegetables $650 The roasted half chicken requires about 40 minutes of waiting time after ordering. The chicken skin has a nice color, is thin, the meat is tender, and the chicken juice is fragrant. This dish is worth the wait.

🔸White Wine Clam Noodles $390 I didn't feel full after the first dish, so I ordered another plate of noodles. My personal favorite type of pasta is the stir-fried flavor~ The portion of the noodles is just right. The clams have a strong wine flavor, and I personally think this is the most reasonably priced dish 😂
