The Wellington beef steak and the French-style pan-seared duck breast are still the highlights. The duck breast has a crispy skin, but is slightly overcooked in some parts. The curry yogurt sauce pairs excellently with the baked mushrooms. The dessert, pineapple Basque cheesecake, is smooth, while the ice cream is average. The truffle crispy potatoes are crunchy but lack aroma.
The dining atmosphere is as comfortable as always, but there are some small black mosquitoes outside that need attention. The overall environment feels unfamiliar.
The service staff were friendly and provided a detailed introduction to the menu, but the water glasses required multiple reminders to be refilled, indicating that the level of service could be improved.

🔅 The basement has a parking lot, and the restaurant supports multiple payment methods, which is quite convenient.
This is the Westin Steakhouse, Zhonghe Ban-Nan branch. You can get here by taking the subway to Zhongyuan Station, and there is a basement parking lot available, making transportation and parking convenient. The restaurant also supports various payment methods.
This time it’s been a while since I last visited Westin, and the dining atmosphere is as comfortable as always. The staff is friendly and provides detailed explanations of the menu. However, the overall performance of the dishes didn’t upgrade with the price, which is a bit regrettable.
I ordered the classic set meal for NT$698, choosing the French-style pan-seared duck breast as the main course. The skin is crispy, while the inside remains tender, complemented by a curry yogurt sauce and baked mushrooms, which is still a classic combination.
The salad is a beef lettuce salad with orange vinaigrette. It’s refreshing overall, but the dressing is a bit sour, and the beef slices are slightly thin, which reduces their presence a bit. I ordered both soup options; the onion soup with garlic bread was more palatable than expected, not too salty, and the bread soaked up the soup just right. The bacon pumpkin soup was on the sweeter side and had a somewhat one-dimensional flavor.
For dessert, there were two options—pineapple Basque cheesecake and vanilla ice cream. The cheesecake had a smooth texture, and the acidity of the pineapple helped cut the richness. The ice cream was standard, serving as a typical finish to the meal.
Additionally, I ordered the truffle crispy fries for NT$138. The fries were fried crispy and had a nice texture, but the truffle flavor was hardly noticeable, with a relatively faint aroma.
Overall, it was a comfortable meal with good atmosphere and service, but if the dishes could be a little more sincere and not just the same combination unchanged for years, that would be better.
This time I came to the unfamiliar Zhonghe restaurant because of a reservation. Except that the waiter failed to take care that my dining friend's water glass was out of water and had to keep asking the waiter to refill the water, the food was still delicious, especially the Beef Wellington (only Medium Rare) It’s still delicious after the extra price. If you need to adjust the doneness, you need to order the original steak instead! I was the first one to arrive that day, and there were many small black mosquitoes outside the venue that I needed to pay attention to!
