The meal options are plentiful, with the Iberico pork tomato pasta and cheese pizza both being delicious, and the truffle fries make for an excellent side dish. The mentaiko baked egg is highly recommended; it's flavorful without being overly salty. There is a wide variety of cocktails available that can be customized to individual tastes, and they are very tasty.
The restaurant has a unique atmosphere, making it suitable for dates or gatherings with friends. Even during a last-minute visit on Christmas, one can still feel the warm holiday spirit.
The staff are friendly and professional, able to respond flexibly to guests' needs, providing an enjoyable dining experience.
Location: Da'an District, Taipei City
A train-themed gastropub has always been a reliable choice. Since it was Christmas today and I wanted to find a restaurant at the last minute, I called up a lot of places on my list that I hadn't tried before, but there were no tables available. Otherwise, we would have to wait until nine o'clock 😢😢. Later, as we walked near Sogo, I suddenly thought about this series and wondered if they had any availability. Luckily, we found a table without any issues.
🌟 Iberico Pork Tomato Pasta
The seasoning of the pasta was fragrant and paired wonderfully with the tomato flavor. It was very delicious, with a strong aroma of grilled pork. It could definitely be a bit rich, but the texture of the pasta was quite thick. It felt like it was cooked for a while, but it wasn't overly soft. Very satisfactory.
🌟 Cheese Pizza
A pizza with a variety of cheeses. It had the aroma of wood-fired pizza. There were arugula leaves on top, likely to prevent it from being too rich, but the arugula was too bitter. After pushing it aside, the pizza was still very tasty and not overwhelming.
🌟 Truffle Fries
When drinking, you must order fries as a side snack. The truffle-flavored fries had a strong truffle taste. The fries are the thin kind like those from McDonald's.
🌟 Mentaiko Baked Eggs
The best dish of the day; I would award this one. Very fragrant and delicious. The mentaiko was not too salty, making it really tasty 💪💪.
🌟 Thoughts on Alcohol
I ordered two drinks for myself this time. Their cocktails are undoubtedly delicious and can be tailored to your preferences. But the premise is that you should have a clearer idea of what type of drink you like, or let the bartender know what flavor profile you desire; they can create customized drinks for you, so they are very tasty. My two cocktails were based on lychee and pomelo, both being very good.
However, my friend ordered a whiskey-based cocktail that she thought she would like, but she ended up not enjoying it. I finished the remainder 🤣🤣🤣.
Initially, we were supposed to leave by eight because of Christmas, but surprisingly someone no-showed, so we could drink until ten. Therefore, we ordered a lot. I genuinely think the staff at this place provided excellent service, and both the food and drinks were delicious. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys drinking! 🤣🤣🤣

This experience was pretty good, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a pub with a good atmosphere!
▫️ Garlic seafood pasta $420
▫️ Iberico Pork Truffle Tomato Pasta $380
I prefer the garlic seafood. The noodles have the umami flavor of the seafood, which is great! I think the tomato pasta is quite ordinary. The sauce is very light and it is a very sweet red sauce. I will not order it next time. . The portion of pasta is not that big, just enough for an average girl to be full.
▫️ Smoked Salmon Mentaiko Cheese Baked Egg $320
This baked egg is excellent, order it! The humidity of the baked egg is perfect, it is quite moist, and the mentaiko sauce on it is very generous, you can get a lot of mentaiko sauce in every bite of the baked egg!
▫️ Golden Brick Cheese Tofu $280
▫️ Sands Style Chicken Wings $350
Both of these dishes are delicious at the first bite, but start to get a bit greasy after the second bite; the cheese of the cheese tofu is really rich, and the sauce on the outer layer of the golden sand chicken wings is also quite strong. , both of these dishes are suitable for sharing when there are a lot of people.
▫️ Special cocktail - Zeal $360
This cup is delicious! The passion fruit taste is very obvious (I judge whether it tastes good from the perspective of drinking), the alcohol is not heavy, and it is a sweet and sour drink. It is very suitable for sheep who don’t like alcohol. Tasty person XD
▫️ Tiramisu $280
It’s an average tiramisu, not too impressive.
Conclusion: Personally, I think the cocktails and atmosphere of this restaurant are better than their meals! The dining atmosphere is great, with tasteful dim lighting, which is very suitable for dates and friends gatherings💓 I will want to unlock other Alphabet series restaurants in the future
