Stumbled upon this little gem - the fact they played Ella Fitzgerald on speakers sealed the deal and we ended up having savory special and 4 little cakes... The savory special was a prawn salad which albeit a delicate small portion was one of the best I have had in my life - crispy and succulent prawns... Absolute delight... Flavours balanced and rounded! Really recommend for it's cosy atmosphere and tasty food!

Delicated prepared French cuisine by both the Taiwanese and the Japanese chefs, well experienced Cordon Blue grads. One of the very few family run French restaurant in Taipei. The dining and the hospitality are always pleasant every times I visited for over the last ten years! The patisserie is superb, freshly made everyday and executed in the precise Japanese fashion and the French tradition.

The most secret gem in Taipei. An amazing French restaurant run by two French trained Japanese couples specialised in food and bakery. The bread is out of this world. Escargot is typical French and beef stewed is to die for. The price is incredibly cheap. I don't know how they could make any profit from NT ¥ 750 including drinks two starters main course and dessert. Certainly I wish I could visit it every day.

It’s a wonderful place for French inspired dishes. I ordered beef and friends ordered chickens. 5 courses lunch including service charge is less than 800 and 700 respectively. Considering the location and food quality, a great place for business lunch. For date, maybe other more romantic French restaurant
