鸚鵡螺餐酒館 鹽埕五福店 Bar Nautilus Wufu — Restaurant in Kaohsiung

After doing some Google Maps search, we came across this place and decided to go, needed a change...

Must start saying that the food was very tasty and what we were looking for...

The one and only reason why I put 3 stars in the food category is because of the following: after having ordered the mussels and started eating, around maybe 30% of them I would say, were not open at all. Which is a simply and straight no when eating those type of mollusks. If it would have been one or two, fine, would have been ok, but there were too many like that. Once we asked the staff about that, they apologized and took those mussels back. Thinking we will be waiting for a while for new mussels to return (as originally we waited for a while for the food to arrive, which was fine) was actually the opposite, after not even 5 minutes, those same initially unopened mussels came back open. I'm pretty confident that unfortunately they just opened them, why? Because as mentioned, the waiting time was extremely short compared to the first time we waited for the food to arrive, also because of the look of them (how we handed them to the staff) and finally because they were simply cold, like when we gave them back to the staff, much different than the nice warm ones we got with the original plating. We decided not to eat them.

On the other hand, as mentioned above, the food was very very tasty, the rest of the mussels were very good and some beef with risotto we shared was very good as well.

Plenty of beer options together with so many other drinks.

The staff was very friendly, spoke English and the whole atmosphere is cool. At the time we went, there were no tables available without reservation, so we sat at the bar, but even there the chairs were very comfy so we could eat...

This bistro features live music and an industrial retro style interior. The staff are very friendly and always ready to help. Orders are placed online by scanning a QR code, which saves time as you don't have to wait for a waiter.

We ordered a set menu for two, a pasta dish, three different cocktails, and a bottle of rosé wine. We paid around 3,000 NTD for the meal. All the dishes were good, and the beef burger was particularly juicy with a generous portion. The cocktails were a bit hit or miss, but nothing too spectacular.

It's a great place to chat and drink with friends. If you enjoy live music, it's worth visiting when there's a show. There's a minimum charge of 250 NTD plus service charge per person during the week, and 350 NTD plus service charge per person...

The bar has some special local beer and also some nice delicious food. This place is very good for catching up with friends and listening to music. The music is a mix of different genres so it's always new and fresh music. The T.V. and bar is well spaced and good for drinking and chatting with friends. The best part is the second floor has a stage where people can come and do live mic. From local people to social media people. This makes it very lively when there is someone on stage. So this place is really good if you plan to drink and enjoy entertainment on stage or just a relaxing drink on the bar. Would definitely recommend this...
