The dishes maintain a high standard, with recommendations including the classic sous-vide chicken Caesar salad, the signature hand-crafted burger, and the Taiwanese-style stir-fried salty egg bitter melon noodles. The European bread platter and caramel crispy ice cream brownie are also well-received.
The environment is nice and pet-friendly, making it suitable for dining with pets. The restrooms are not inside the restaurant and require a bit of walking.
The service is quick and friendly, ordering is done via QR code, and the staff will confirm the meal; the serving speed is fast.
Reviewer Comment: The restroom is not in the restaurant, you have to walk a bit.
Today, I came to the Er Lou Ban Qiao branch for a meal. I happened to win a 450 TWD hamburger in a promotion, so I decided to give it a try. I had eaten here before and thought it was pretty good. It’s recommended to make a reservation in advance. This place is also pet-friendly; I saw quite a few tables that brought their own pets, and the restaurant even offers free scrambled eggs for dogs. Ordering is done via QR code, and after placing the order, a staff member comes to confirm the items. The serving speed is quite fast.
This time, the two of us ordered:
• San Francisco Garlic Fries (210 TWD) – When it arrived, the garlic aroma was strong, and it tasted pretty good.
• Classic Sous Vide Chicken Caesar Salad (380 TWD) – The portion looks quite large, with a big piece of chicken, a few slices of croutons, and plenty of lettuce; the seasoning is nice.
• European Bread Basket (100 TWD) – Free refills available, but we ordered too much this time and didn’t ask for more. Both types of bread were delicious, especially with the brown sugar butter sauce.
• Signature Hamburger (450 TWD, promotional discount) – A generous portion, with a thick hamburger patty and two pieces of fried fish, accompanied by fries in different shapes.
• Taiwanese-style Stir-fried Salted Egg Bitter Melon Noodles (360 TWD) – Best enjoyed hot, it has a pleasant texture, not too bitter, topped with fried king oyster mushrooms, which is quite unique.
• Hot Milk Tea (80 TWD) – Milk and tea are served separately, allowing you to adjust the ratio yourself.
• Caramel Crisp Ice Cream Brownie (220 TWD, birthday treat) – It took a while to arrive, likely because it was freshly baked, and paired with ice cream, it was delicious.
• Peach Blossom Luck Tea (150 TWD, promotional treat) – It has a layer of milk foam on top; I personally found it to be average.
The total was 1,130 TWD, plus a 10% service charge, making it 1,303 TWD in the end. Overall, the meals maintained a certain standard, and the environment was nice; I would consider visiting again.
Open on New Year's Eve, the second and third day of the New Year.

This restaurant is very "trendy", as if you have stepped into an interstellar society.
The location is good: it's close to Google, which attracts tech people; it's also close to the library. After dinner, you can take a walk to the parent-child reading area and share spiritual food with your children.
I really like my first choice for dinner: "Orange French Danish Sunny Chicken".
The chicken breast was cooked to perfection, and there was French toast and a fried egg.
It looks like it's breakfast, but luckily you can have dinner as well.
Plus the unique "Ashitaba" drink.
So happy and delicious!
This chain of restaurants is one of my favorite in Taiwan and this particular one is relatively new. It's got a different vibe as well, looks like a spaceport, maybe since it is in the tech park. Seating is comfortable and the servers are very responsive, made us feel at home.
I really like the Danish brunch, both the sous vide chicken and steak are great options. It comes with one small drink (I got one called 'angelica tea' which is nice) and a refillable drink where you can choose between many options and can refill with different options too. Can really let you relax and chat for a long time. And in general I find that the food is always great no matter what I order. I will definitely come here repeatedly.
For kids they have crayons and a coloring sheet, which is a great help!
Popular timings (e.g weekend brunch) need reservation weeks in advance.
