Zhongzheng District, Taipei City｜希臘左巴-古亭店

Small restaurant hidden in a back alley of Guting… I was not planning to have dinner there but I ran into this place and their menu looked appealing. My wife and I shared the set for 2 with soups, a salad, a snack, a main course, 2 desserts and 2 drinks… everything was great, served with taste, perfectly seasoned. The gyros and the dessert were particularly exquisite. The service is excellent, discreet but helpful. I duly recommend you make the small detour in this small lane 3 mins from Guting station because it will be worth your while…

The service here is excellent! I came with a group of friends and even though the place was busy, we all got our food quickly. We also really appreciated that they kept giving us warm water for the table because it was a cold, miserable day. There are several vegetarian options, although I wish the veggie gyro had a bit more going on inside.

The food there is quite decent, but personally, I don’t really recommend the fried dumplings as it doesn’t really meets my expectations, the skin was somehow a bit dry and too thick and the sauce doesn’t really go well with the dumplings, the sauce is good but they don’t really combine with each other. The stewed beef is amazing, but the lemony taste is slightly stronger then what I thought, it might not be a good choice for those who doesn’t like lemons but for me, it’s real good. The chocolate cake was a meh for me, it’s too dry and I feel like the wine taste isn’t strong enough and yet the chocolate too didn’t stand out. The pita with a beamy sauce is delicious, and I kinda thinks that the sauce pairs well with most of the dishes I’ve ordered. The cheese cake is tasty but it’s quite a small portion, I mean for the price it’s understandable. It has a mild orange zest and some rose fragrance, it meets my taste😍😍😍
