Xinyi District, Taipei City｜JARANA

I LOVED this restaurant ! Great service Great food. We went there for our friends birthday, my wife had been there several times before and wanted to bring me so she setup a birthday dinner there. One of the things I've always wanted to do was make a great Paella. The chef said if I ever wanted to go there to learn, he would be happy to teach me and would be more than happy to give me the recipe. I'll have to try it someday when I'm not so busy. But I LOVED his passion about cooking ! :). His paella was fantastic. I probably could have eaten the whole thing myself (by I'm trying to diet :) I definitely want to go back again...I'll let the photos speak for themselves. By the way, you have to try the cheese cake. It's special ! Try his duck noodle dish too...it was REALLY good. With that...Muchas Gracias !!! :o)

What a hidden gem! My friend found out about this place in search for the paella of her dreams and this place delivered! As the chef explained, it may not be what most people had in mind if they first tried this dish in Barcelona, but for me, this tasted so heavenly I honestly don't care about the origin. Every bite was flavorful to the max, and I've really enjoyed the croquette and the tripes too. You should definitely try it and don't be put off by the big pan, we finished everything between two girls, it was THAT delicious 😋

We made our reservation through Instagram dm and were lucky enough to get a table for 5 one day before our family dinner. We ordered 7 tapas and 2 mains and everything we had was great. My personal fav were the mejillones a las hierbas and the 5 cheese cheesecake. The service was top notch. The seasoning was a bit on the salty side for my parents but it was perfect for me. Highly recommended.
