Les Piccola — Restaurant in Da'an District

Les Piccola: (8.8/10) -When we ordered first theres a lot of missing items on the menu, when we asked for beer there was no beer, when i ordered fruit tea, they ran out -So i ordered banana smoothie which was originally actually banana & strawberry smoothie but they ran out of strawberry. But once it was here it was pretty good as the smoothies want silky but it wasnt too sweet and a had bits of bananas that u could slurp which was not bad but 180 ntd is a bit pricey. -Truffle fries were amazing with a fascinating portion. The sauce came with ketchup and some sort of honey mayo mustard sauce which was surprisingly good. -Then came the most interesting dish, which was baby squids with lime and sichuan pepper that was savory and sweet. It mixed well and was a delight. -The best dish was definitely the seafood linguine which had a touch of lobster marinade that mixed well with the shrimp, scallop and squid. It was topped with cherry tomatoes, and the fettuccine was amaze. -Then came a threadfish dish which is a type of salmon. It was paired with asparagus, mullet roe and green tea sauce as the base. It had a hint of the leaf u rrly liked in Japanese dishes. And was marinated with bone marrow sauce, pricey but good. We got lava cake, yes i got dessert. Anyways it was an absolute gourmet because the outside is crisp and the inside soft. The chocolate inside is rather bitter than sweet and the vanilla ice cream on top was not at all too sweet, a perfect balance of the two taste. At first the presentation was mediocre but the taste was nothing but a hit. Atmosphere is also good with a good interior design that looks like a cafe.

Ig: foodie_foxx Menu card in a greeting card format, ambience being so pleasant, so spacious between tables, all set up green in color, lounges in properly arranged manner, everything was perfect before seeing the menu. Got shocked and chocked by seeing the prices in the menu, very expensive for a brunch place, mainly special for brunch and lunch, dinner menu is kind of new, I would personally recommend brunch and lunch over dinner. Have plenty of scooter parking in front of the restaurant.

I loved the seats, which was just like in the form of a bar setup, really cool and dignified. We literally spent 1800 $NTD for 3 people ordering only 2 brunch plates, a chocolate lava cake, and a black bean risotto.

Brunch platter - mashed potatoes, eggomelet -- English style, 1 sausage, 1 garlic bread, fresh lettuce and veggies, and 2 pieces of triangle sized stuffed pancakes. The pancake, such as was just okay, and nothing special, taste wise pretty decent.

The risotto was too blend for me as an Indian, but my Taiwanese friend enjoyed it.

Cheese chocolate lava cake, infused with cheese, the cheese actually flowed down when we cut the cake, so pretty so good 👍. Cake was so soft, cheese was melted perfectly, good temperature on the cake, overall the best one of our orders

Ambience 5/5 Taste 4/5 Quantity 3/5 Price $$$$$$ expensive for sofewers portions Recommended for dates nights, coffee lovers, or for eating some sweets or simple neat meals; this is the best place. A unique experience for me and my team

Bon appetite...

If you are seeking the most terrible fine dining experience possible, I recommend this dump! I’ll give it one star because the environment was actually good, but the service was absolutely pathetic! It took them at least 15 minutes to come take our order. After they took our order, The server didn’t even know about the menu. It only went downhill from there. After our first appetizer, my wife had asked for a new plate when they brought out the salad. The waitress seemed dumbfounded and asked why she wants a new plate; thus my wife explained she did not want to mix the food and reluctantly the waitress rudely brought a new plate ignoring the fact that I would also need one. After they had brought out my wife’s entrée, we figured they would bring mine as is the standard in any restaurant but 30 minutes later after my wife and I had finished her entrée, my entrée had still not arrived. We decided to cancel and they argued that we had to have it even though my wife had already finished hers and it was over an hour. Their foolish argument was that my order takes longer than hers, so we told them they should’ve mentioned this and even if my order takes longer, they should’ve timed it so the two entrées came out at the same time! I can go on but I don’t have more time to waste to complain about this ridiculous and pathetic restaurant! We liked the environment but that’s all you’re going to...
