Taipei Minquan West Road Station - A bistro that requires reservations in advance, the menu features many exotic and creative dishes, surprisingly the Highball cocktails are super delicious!

This time we had a total of nine people dining, and after the restaurant prepared the menu for us, the cost per person, after deducting the extra drinks ordered, was 1088 TWD.
Apart from the "21-ounce American ribeye steak," which is served as a single portion, all other dishes are served in "two portions."

I will write the descriptions and reviews for each dish below the photos!

▶️ Friendly Reminder
🔹 It is recommended to make a reservation using the inline system; if there are more than 4 people, a deposit of 500 TWD per person is required, which can be deducted from the bill.
🔻 A minimum spending of 3000 TWD is required for card payments (I won't be selecting credit card payment options because of this condition).
🔻 The minimum spend is 600 TWD, and dining time is limited to 120 minutes when the restaurant is full.

▶️ Environment
🔹 The indoor space is decent, capable of accommodating about 25-30 people. For larger groups, tables are combined, making conversation a bit challenging.
🔹 The lighting is somewhat dim, decorated with various small light bulbs.
🔹 There is a projection screen inside the restaurant for broadcasting TV (I've heard you can sing karaoke if you book the entire place).
🔹 The staff will come to refill drinking water.

▶️ Dining Experience
🔹 Some dishes are very special and quite tasty, such as the confit fresh oysters with French scrambled eggs and green bamboo shoots with spicy cod roe mustard sauce. However, some dishes were not so great, like the spicy sea cucumber salad and Italian fried seafood.
🔹 The owner Jerry is very friendly and came to chat with us, even treating us to several rounds of shots (including a special plum wine mix and Whisky Coke).
🔹 Additionally, this restaurant is categorized as a "French restaurant" on Google Maps, but personally, I feel that there are many types of cuisine here, not primarily French. The business also considers itself a bistro, and the atmosphere resembles a bar, so I categorized it as a "bistro."
🔹 Based on the pricing and the deliciousness of the dishes, I rate this place 3.5 stars, and with the owner's warm hospitality and complimentary shots, I add an extra 0.5 star, making it a total of 4 stars!
