Wenshan District, Taipei City｜LIRA里拉義大利廚房

【Overall Score】★★★★☆ The flavor of the meal has room to chase Xidi! The overall price is on the high side, but the taste is worthy of the price~ If I have to say it, it cannot be said to be a high CP due to the high price. If you are nearby and occasionally want to treat or celebrate, But it is a relatively decent store that you can refer to. 【Decoration】★★★☆☆ The entire store layout is very elegant and exquisite. In addition to using a large number of floral and wooden designs, It is also embellished with copper-colored objects, giving it a sense of the times. These are supposed to give people a sense of tranquility and leisure, However, due to the small distance between tables and the dense number of tables, In addition, there are no sound-absorbing designs such as walls, The entire restaurant was filled with the chatter of a public cafeteria. And the clinking sound of the waiter clearing away the tableware, Even while sitting, I was often kicked into seats and bumped into bags by customers and waiters coming and going. These have affected the taste of high-end meals. This is what I think is the most inconsistent with the style. 【Service】★★★★☆ $$$service fee 10% The waiters are generally very polite. Also provide prompt and good service whenever possible. But I think the restaurant equipment could be more considerate. For example, there is a food delivery elevator on the second floor. No need for waiters to carry large amounts of exquisite meals to and from you. This can not only improve the efficiency of serving meals, It can also ensure the safety of waiters and meals. What's more important is that there are no waiters walking around too frequently. 【Meals】★★★★☆ $$$ set meal costs 160 yuan extra [salad] ①Grilled raw beef salad★★★★★ ②Fruit Salad★★★★☆ If only I had fruit salad, I would feel pretty good, The salad dressing is moderately sweet and sour. It has quite an appetizing effect. But the grilled raw beef is really delicious. In addition to fresh vegetable leaves, The lightly seared beef after being seasoned is really appetizing. Fruit salad pales in comparison. I think this salad is a must order here! [Soup]★★★☆☆ ◉Tomato vegetable beef For a good soup, you can taste the ingredients as long as you drink the soup. The texture of this bowl of vegetable soup is also due to various ingredients. Cooked until the flavor is rich and layered. In addition to the potatoes, tomatoes and beef that can be seen, The aroma of semi-melted onions and bay leaves brightens the soup. However, I think this bowl of soup is a bit sour. Especially after you finish drinking, savor it carefully in your throat. It's not as beautiful and mellow as the entrance. The proportion of tomatoes could probably be adjusted a little more. ［Bread］★★★☆☆ ①Olive oil vinegar★★★☆☆ ②Mustard seeds★★★☆☆ The crust of the bread is crispy, It's also solid on the inside but not too hard. I recommend trying both sauces. I think it's quite average and the highlights aren't outstanding enough. Another very important point is that The overall feeling of bread and soup is a bit lacking. It does not achieve the complementary functions of general Western food. What a pity. [Main dish]★★★★☆ ①Australian Ribeye Steak (8 minutes rare)★★★★☆ $$$A la carte 360 ​​yuan ②Low-temperature cherry duck breast with citrus sauce★★★★☆ $$$A la carte 380 yuan Both dishes have one advantage in common, It’s the side dishes that are both visually and tastefully exciting. Fresh and sweet white bamboo shoots, slightly roasted until brown corn shoots, Sliced ​​green pods and white coix seeds adorn the plate, There are also finely chopped purple vegetables, Makes the entire main course colorful and lively. However, container shapes don't seem to be used well I think there is room for adjustment in the overall plating position proportions. The steak is about as thick as a pinky fingernail. The taste is average, equally delicious but lacks any outstanding features. Because it is not too thick type, I think it would be better not to order medium rare. The outside and inside will be chewier and juicier. The duck breast is quite amazing. The first bite is very juicy but not soft. The flavor is very rich and impressive, I was originally worried that eating two large pieces like this would be too greasy. But it’s paired with citrus jam that’s the soul, The delicate sourness softens the seasoning of duck meat, So the overall flavor is further improved. ［Drinks］★★★☆☆ ①Freshly brewed mixed juice★★★☆☆ ②Korean grapefruit tea★★☆☆☆ Actually, it’s not that it doesn’t taste good. But it’s really ordinary to the extreme. Yuzu tea is brewed with tea bags as shown in the photo. The taste is very average, It can be said that people have no desire to taste it carefully. I think after so many wonderful dishes, It's a shame to serve drinks like this. Like a long-awaited movie coming to an abrupt end near the end, There is a feeling of anticlimax and inability to continue. After all, drinks after the main meal are the best time to chat. At this time, I served a drink that was not very good. The first topic of conversation is probably this drink! ［Dessert］★★★★☆ ①Chef’s Selection Cake (Black Forest)★★★☆☆ ②Walnut Brownie Vanilla Ice Cream★★★★★ The flavor of the black forest is not strong enough; I don’t think it has reached the realm of high-end desserts. The taste is also average and unremarkable. It's easily washed away by the flavor of the drink. But brownie vanilla ice cream is different! Cold vanilla ice cream topped with hot brownie, When it melts a little bit, Cut it with a spoon, The rich milky aroma of the ice cream will penetrate into the cake. Because there are crispy walnuts, Brownies don’t just taste boring and sweet. I think this dessert is also very worth it!

Every meal is delicious and has a high cp value. The truffle and scallop stew is super delicious, the shrimp and scallop noodles in xo sauce are also great, and the New Yorker steak is 350, which is quite a bargain.

The restaurant is beautifully designed. You can order your main dish and by paying 160 NTD more you can add a package which includes a salad, soup of the day, beverage (hot/cold) and dessert. The food is really great and I would recommend you to taste the Tiramisu as dessert.. It's just delightful. I didn't like the attention too much though.. Maybe it was just because the place was packed.. But the food was worth the while.
