B line by A train, located in a hidden alley near the MRT Zhongxiao Xinsheng Station, is an Italian cuisine tavern filled with quality. The decor inside has an urban touch, and the overall experience is quite satisfying.

Appetizer: American Vegetable Truffle Omelette
As soon as it arrived at the table, its fluffy appearance caught my attention, resembling a cute cloud visually. Upon cutting it open, I found that it was richly filled with a variety of vegetables, making it colorful and vibrant. The aroma of truffle was noticeable but not overpowering, perfectly blending with the egg flavor. The texture was tender, slightly moist, and very enjoyable.

Pan-Seared Scallop Cream Risotto with Sea Urchin Sauce
This was undoubtedly the highlight of the meal. The risotto was cooked to perfection—the rice remained slightly firm at the center, which is exactly how Italian risotto should be; it wasn’t mushy. The cream sauce was rich and smooth, and after merging with the sea urchin sauce, it added a hint of sweet umami from the sea without any fishy taste, making it a successful balance. The scallops were seared to a crispy exterior while remaining tender inside, bursting with freshness. This dish not only had a rich flavor but was also exquisitely plated, making it a classic main dish that one would want to revisit and order again.

Tomato Pan-Seared Steak Pasta
The steak was quite tender, cooked to the right doneness, and the accompanying tomato sauce was rich with a balanced sweet and sour flavor, also suitable for those who are not fond of heavy creaminess. The pasta had a nice chewy texture and did a good job of absorbing the sauce. However, compared to the stunning risotto, this dish felt a bit less distinctive. If you are visiting for the first time, I would recommend starting with the risotto series instead.

Overall, B line by A train is a dedicated establishment. Although there is a minimum charge of 600 TWD per person, in terms of the quality of the dishes, the freshness of the ingredients, and the delicacy of the flavors, it demonstrates the chef's high standards. Both the omelette and the risotto had impressive performances, especially the pan-seared scallop cream risotto, which is a signature flavor that should not be missed. If you are looking for a unique restaurant worth trying near the MRT Zhongxiao Xinsheng Station, this small shop would be a satisfying choice. It is advised to make a reservation in advance or arrive early to avoid missing out on the delicious offerings!

Location: Zhongzheng District, Taipei City

Just a short walk out of the Zhongxiao Xinsheng MRT Station and you’ll be there.
This series of bistros definitely has a common feature as they are all on the second floor.
For me, having convenient public transportation for a bistro is super important
because after drinking, it's safer to take public transportation.
If you have to call a cab, drinking becomes very expensive.
The cost gets too high! 🤣🤣🤣

🌟 Creamy Scallop Risotto
The creaminess is very fragrant.
The rice grains are of the type with a core,
so every grain has a chewy texture.
However, I feel that the seasoning of the risotto is a bit bland,
and it doesn't pair so well with the wine.
It’s a little disappointing.

🌟 Duck Breast Rice Bowl
Super delicious! 😋
Today's MVP dish goes to this one.
The rice is generously covered in braised sauce, and after mixing it with a raw egg, it has a smooth texture.
The saltiness is just right, and it pairs exceptionally well with the wine.
This is exactly the kind of combination that should exist in a bistro.
Highly recommend!

🌟 Alcohol
For the alcohol part, you can ask the staff to recommend based on your own preferences.
Each of us among the three even ordered two glasses each,
totaling six glasses.
None of them were bad, all were very good. 😌

This series of bistros never disappoints us
and helps us discover different dishes.
Highly recommend and absolutely love! 😘

♬ Meal Reviews
This is my second visit to the Alphabet series of restaurants and bars. I love them so much. Bring a girl to ensure extra points! Today’s consumption for two people totaled 2,684 yuan.

I ordered three cocktails. The first one was Destination/Peach. This glass was fruity, exuding the aroma of peach and mango. The wine taste was medium, and the taste of gin was well integrated into it, making people wonder. Feeling slightly tipsy.
I ordered Iron Hearts for the second cup. It has a distinct grape flavor with a hint of Tieguanyin tea. The wine taste is light and smooth. If you like ice-cold flavors, you will love this cup.
For the third cup, I ordered the classic Long Island iced tea, which was mixed with 5 kinds of spirits including vodka, gin, rum, tequila, and triple liqueur. However, when mixed with cola, it tasted super smooth, and it was a success before I knew it. Get your partner drunk today.

For the meal, I ordered the pan-fried scallops and filet cream risotto that is highly recommended on the Internet. The cream sauce is very thick. The risotto is more distinct in grains and I like it. The strong aroma of cream in the mouth emanates from the mouth. It’s super. Like it!
As an appetizer, I ordered handmade potato slices with salsa. The potato slices were very thin and crispy, and paired with the tomato and slightly spicy salsa. It was very mouth-watering after being topped with the potato slices.
Another dish was fried clams with Italian spices. Garlic and chili are paired with fried clams, and then topped with Italian and nine-layered pagoda sauce. It is really a must-have with wine.
Finally, I ordered a truffle and potato baked egg. The truffle has a strong gassy flavor. When paired with the baked egg, it tastes like chicken cake. The dense texture in the mouth satisfies the taste buds.
Every meal or cocktail ordered today was great. I highly recommend coming here for dinner to have a wonderful night!
