夜月.酒食(每人1400元.預約請洽FB粉專私訊) — Restaurant in Changbin

This place is a HIDDEN GEM! The location is superb (definition of “superb”: nicely tucked inside the rice terrace and overlooking the Pacific. However, might be tricky to get to after dark). More over, the food is phenomenal and creative. The ingredients are super fresh and mostly sourced from local farms and fishing villages.

The owner couple are lovely people that simply want to share their creations with others. They’ll introduce the story behind every dish - how it is made and where the ingredients are sourced.

I’d recommend getting a bed and breakfast in this village and walking over to 夜月 for dinner. After traveling around the world, this tiny village in Eastern Taiwan never fails to surprise me.

The athmosphere is very relaxed, the chef and his fiance (who acts as server/cook) are very young and extremely friendly -an...

Upscale French cuisine with Japanese fusion. Served from a small homestyle restaurant along the coastline of Taiwan. Chewy is the chef — formerly a Taipei musician. Sophie is his wife and assists with preparation and service. The menu is set, so be sure to request and dietary issues well in advance. If you can get in to this 8-seater it’s well worth it. Happy the...
