[New Taipei Banqiao] Run Round Bistro

Located near Fuzhong Station, this bistro has a decor that adopts a light industrial design, infused with a bit of Italian restaurant ambiance. The seating is comfortable, and there's even a small private room that can accommodate up to 8 people!

You must try their cocktails when you come here. The extravagant presentation is pleasing to the eye when served ❤️ Not to mention, it’s not just a bistro; they offer a variety of international dishes. You can clearly feel the thoughtfulness that goes into the menu, with unique combinations of seasonings and ingredients.

Dishes are available in both a la carte and set menu options. If you're unsure what to order, I recommend opting for the couple's set menu. You'll get to sample 10 different dishes ranging from creative cuisine, meat dishes, fried foods, to pasta, soups, and desserts—all perfect for a date or just hanging out with friends.

◽ Couple’s Set Menu✨ $2,280 TWD
(The following only includes the items selected that day)

【Choose One Appetizer】
“French Provence Ratatouille”
Highly recommended dish! This international dish combines seasonal vegetables with potatoes, topped generously with Grana Padano cheese and served with a soft-boiled egg—a hearty portion. The savory flavor comes from the baked cheese, which pairs delightfully with the egg yolk and vegetables.

【Must-Try Cocktails - Choose Two】
“Crispy Fried Squid”
The squid is soft and easy to cut; even when the batter gets cold, it remains crispy, served with mustard pepper salt! The combination of seafood and the aroma of mustard is fantastic 👍

“Truffle Fries”
An essential side in a bistro, the fries are crispy on the outside and fluffy inside, drizzled with their homemade truffle mayonnaise and grated Grana Padano cheese. They're perfect as a snack for pairing with drinks—still enjoyable when cold, not greasy or soggy.

【Main Dishes - Choose Two】
“Low-Temperature Pan-Seared Filet Mignon”
Recommended by the manager, this filet mignon is sous-vide to achieve tenderness and is complemented by crunchy fried garlic slices. It comes with seasoned stewed vegetables, where the soft and fluffy potatoes pair well with the aromatic stewed onions.

“Spicy Mexican Pork Belly”
The pork belly is seared to a slight crisp on the surface, offering a chewy texture, seasoned with Mexican chili, onion, and red wine sauce, paired with heated cherry tomatoes, adding a hint of acidity and spice.

【Creative Snacks - Choose One】
“Avocado Shrimp Crispy Balls”
This snack is very popular! Using Indian papri, it's filled with avocado salad and diced fresh fruits, along with peeled shrimp. You can grab it and take a bite for a crispy surface and refreshing flavors—a perfectly balanced start!

【Pasta - Choose One】
“Cheesy Lava Spicy Meat Sauce Pasta”
The restaurant slowly simmers a homemade spicy sauce with beef and pork, drizzled over pasta with rich cheddar cheese sauce; mixing it together makes the flavors meld beautifully!

【Soups x 2】 Switch to a signature cocktail for a $100 discount per bowl
“French Handmade Dumpling Clear Chicken Soup”
A must-have post-drink remedy! This bowl is so satisfying you'll want to finish it all. Made from slow-simmered vegetables and chicken, this clear soup is aromatic and irresistible, with my favorite homemade shrimp dumplings inside ❤️

【Desserts x 2】
“Vanilla Caramel Pudding”
The best pudding I’ve had in a bistro! Made from organic eggs, you can see the vanilla seeds at a glance. The texture is springy and smooth, with a rich vanilla and creamy flavor that’s slightly sweet—perfect as a dessert after a meal!

“Flaming Brandy Pudding”
Igniting the plate creates a captivating blue flame that makes the pudding look premium! The base is vanilla caramel pudding, flavored with brandy, offering a delightful balance of alcohol and sweetness.

◽ Cocktails/Non-Alcoholic Drinks
“Friendship Through Tea” $400 TWD
(Gin/Absinthe/Roasted Oolong/Bitter/Osmanthus)
Using osmanthus flowers to create mist, small bottles with osmanthus and oolong tea are provided for aroma; this drink is strong but smooth—perfect for your liquor-loving friends.

“Morning Dew” $360 TWD
(Vodka/Red Wine/Golden Oolong/Asian Pear)
This drink has an extravagant plant holder! The glass is set inside, and it lights up—it's a romantic drink. Start by pouring in golden oolong and vodka, then top with red wine. Not only does it look beautiful, but it tastes complex.

“Fragrant Breeze” $230 TWD
(Non-Alcoholic Chardonnay/Passion Fruit/Osmanthus/Cranberry Juice)
There are also various non-alcoholic beverages; the bartender has a special technique to remove alcohol while preserving the aroma. This drink has a slight gradient effect, with osmanthus and lemon verbena added for a refreshing flavor.
