Location: Taichung City

It's actually quite surprising to see such a large crowd on a weekday afternoon. Our seats were right in the middle, which made it rather loud; it felt like everyone's voices were echoing around us. The food service was a bit slow, but the staff had a great attitude and provided detailed introductions to the dishes. The price range was quite broad, with a minimum order requirement.

🌟 Mentaiko Seafood Pasta
This was what I ordered. The creamy flavor hits the palate, paired with the aroma of seafood. It’s not too rich, and I found it to be the most impressive dish.

🌟 Mille-Feuille Cake
The classic mille-feuille has a strong creamy flavor that complements its overall taste. It’s not overly sweet and has a solid layer texture. It’s a pretty standard dessert flavor.

Overall, the dishes were rather ordinary. Some were a bit pricey. There are many options in Taichung, so it's not easy to decide to revisit.

Here's the translation of your text into English:

The restaurant provides brunch, lunch, and dinner without a break in between. The dishes available during different time slots may vary, but it’s great that meals are offered all day long. Sometimes delays in schedules lead to an inability to eat at regular meal times. There is a minimum spend of 600 TWD per person during lunch hours, without any specific restrictions on items.

The space is high and spacious, with seating that is not cramped. There are also private rooms available. The decor is predominantly blue and has a nice quality, with a somewhat glamorous touch. Overall, it is quite beautiful, and combined with the high design, it feels very spacious. However, I'm not sure if it’s related to the space design, but I found it quite noisy. Considering it was a typical afternoon with many customers, the noise level was a bit overwhelming.

We ordered the following for four people:
For side dishes - European bread with spreads: the spreads were quite fragrant, and the bread requires some chewing. Truffle/garlic fries: the fries tasted freshly fried, hot, and quite tasty, with a rich truffle sauce and the ketchup having a slightly more sour taste than usual. Personally, I prefer the truffle sauce.
For main dishes - Duck leg risotto with enoki mushrooms: the duck leg was tastier than I imagined and was not tough.
Lemon chicken green curry risotto: the green curry was a bit spicy, tasted quite good, but the chicken part was rather ordinary.
Black pepper beef short rib risotto: the meat was tender, the portion of the risotto was not large, and there was lemon juice added to cut through the richness, but the flavor was rather monotone.
The squid mentai pasta was the best dish of the day for me; the mentai flavor was rich and complemented the squid well. Alongside, there were baby corn, zucchini, and broccoli, which I personally liked the most.
For dessert - French mille-feuille cake, which wasn’t too sweet and was quite standard.

Overall, despite the noisy dining space, it was spacious and comfortable, and it was nice to be able to have a proper meal outside of regular dining hours. The service was also quite good, and the restaurant has designated parking spaces available, making parking quite convenient.

The atmosphere is comfortable, and the staff is friendly/vegetarian-friendly!
There's parking at the entrance.
Reservations are available!
When my sisters and I came on 5/20, the parking was full, and we could only use the paid parking spaces 🥲
I didn't expect a steak bistro to have a vegetarian set menu 🤩 $880
The only thing I didn't like was the vegetable burger 🙂‍↔️ super soft, just not my preference.
Oh, and I confirmed the vegetarian option, but the dipping sauce for the bread still contained garlic 😅
The bread is very tasty!!! I love the healthy bread—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside 👍
The fruit salad with its tangy dressing and fresh fruits and lettuce is delicious 😋
I personally found the pea soup to be perfect in its thick texture 👍
The atmosphere is reminiscent of being in Europe 😎
