Xinyi District, Taipei City｜eslite garden

It’s as if someone heard all my wishes in a Chinese restaurant and turned them into reality! You’ll be shrouded in greenery amidst panoramic city views, only to be yet more delighted by the tasty yet reasonably-priced dishes, presented in manageable portions that fit contemporary dining trends. My favorites are the marinated abalone appetizer (九孔) and the stir-fried rice vermicelli (十香菜炒米粉). With fresh flowers by your side and a plush carpet to soften conversations, you’ll linger for that dessert of warmed ginger almond pudding washed down with your choice of Taiwanese iron goddess tea or glass of Pellegrino. The good life, Taipei style!

Great service! I was drenched and they brought me a shawl because they fear I might catch a cold! Great food too though portion is a bit small. Tried mostly items marked as chef recommended :-) I like the decor and ambience. Modern chic.

Hot and spicy cuisine was one of the best in the area, and the leeches chicken was perfectly cooked. They even made us boba drinks when we asked, even though we didn’t see them on the menu. The restaurant used to be upstairs but they merged with the downstairs bar because of covid, so now they serve both Chinese and bar food/drinks. The food was great and we’ll be back! :)
