Garden Steak 花園牛排
[Taoyuan Zhongli] Garden Steak
A restaurant that exclusively sells steak dishes, featuring the use of whole cuts of beef. The decor includes many plants and ambient light strings that create a lovely atmosphere. The indoor lighting is dim, giving off a hint of American rustic style.
The most expensive steak costs only $490, and there is no service charge. Every steak set comes with soup and bread (both can be refilled). You can take a drink from the fridge, and refills are just $20 per bottle. There are also salads and fries, with fries available for an additional $100.
It is said that the lamb shoulder steak is hard to come by, and I found myself not so lucky. I ordered two different parts of steak 🥩, and I particularly loved the recommended flap steak! The bread for the day was garlic toast, and even though I was already full, I couldn't resist! The thick toast was toasted to a slightly crispy state and smelled wonderful!
One downside is that the restroom is located outside; if it rains heavily, you would need an umbrella. Going out for the restroom in winter might be a bit cold... it's quite breezy.
✨ Personal Recommendation
◽ Flap Steak 14oz (PR) $490 (10oz $400)
＞ Only the flap steak is available in a large portion, and the doneness is managed by the restaurant, which is medium-rare with a bit of blood. The meat is thick, but since the knife wasn't very sharp, cutting it was slightly difficult, and it was a bit sinewy with not much aroma.
◽ Flank Steak 8oz (PR) ✨ $480
＞ I initially wanted to order the beef short ribs, but the restaurant advised against it and recommended this one instead. Thankfully, I listened to their suggestion! It was thin, easy to cut, had a good amount of marbling, and the doneness was medium-rare, which I could accept. Adding a bit of salt made it really delicious 😋 even more satisfying than the flap steak. 👍🏻
