ABV Bar & Kitchen 加勒比海餐酒館 忠孝店

ABV Caribbean Bistro is located in a small alley on Dunhua South Road in the Da'an District of Taipei City, with the nearest MRT station being Zhongxiao Dunhua Station, a 3-minute walk away. The restaurant has a spacious interior with plenty of seating, and the decor resembles a ship cabin, featuring a lot of woodwork and nautical elements. Although I visited during lunchtime, the lighting was quite dim. There are small round tables for a few people, larger tables for groups, and high-top bar seating, suitable for different combinations. The place is equipped with many televisions for watching sports events.

After being seated, the staff will provide a paper menu and a beer list, but for ordering beer, you'll be asked to go to the fridge for a selection; other dishes can be ordered at the table. Payment can be made in cash or various other methods, and a receipt is provided.

Today, it was a group lunch, and there weren't too many customers during the midday hours. The waiting time for dishes, except for the slow-cooked items, was quite acceptable. If you're looking to fill up, I recommend ordering brunch as it is more cost-effective; in addition to the main dish, you get a salad, tortilla chips, scrambled eggs, and a drink (black tea/coffee). If you order individual dishes, you'll just get one pot or one board (?), which might feel a bit insufficient. The food seems quite authentic; it's not unpalatable but may take some getting used to. Personally, I think it's worth visiting at least once to broaden your horizons, focusing on the stable fried items, a wide variety of beers, and enjoying the bar atmosphere—it's a great spot for fun gatherings with friends.
