Liyutan Tree House Restaurant — Restaurant in Shoufeng

A wonderful restaurant, just by the gorgeous Liyu lake,serving fresh and incredibly delicious indigenous local food. We ended up getting the two person meal set for 1500 and it could have probably been enough food for 3! The food had a very light touch to the preparation and wasn’t too oily or salty.

It came with a light and flavorful chicken soup, a fantastic take on white rice with a hint of chicken flavor, some greens, pork skin that was the freshest I’ve tried before (it came with a light vinegar and was dressed with a sweet sauce and nuts), and finally one of the juiciest and tastiest fish I’ve had the pleasure of having.

We also had their Xiǎomǐ jiǔ (小米酒) or Millet wine, which was 280 for a bottle and was slightly sour and very fruity. We enjoyed a short walk before our meal and it is highly recommended that you leave time for exploring since the area is gorgeous.

Lastly the staff was very friendly and the environment was really cozy! The building had lots of wood and brick and it was a wonderful place to end our weekend in Hualien with. Will definitely be...

Nice indigenous restaurant in Liyu Lake area. Tasty herb rice and chicken. I’m a bit surprised about the quality and hospitality of their staffs. Will definitely come here again!

Price: We order rice, chicken, onion scramble egg, and one dish of veggie. It’s about TWD 400-450 per person. Location: Just next to the trail surrounding Liyu Lake. A large parking area is nearby. Very easy for people driving here for meals. Food: Mixed with local style and aboriginal style flavours. Delicious and not too oily or salty.

While having our dinner there during national holidays of Taiwan, very popular with a line of waiting people. Suggest to make a reservation during weekends...

Got the special house rice and salted pork. Excellent food and fast service although we were only 2 people at the back end of lunch time. They did provide me with an English menu. The pork came with a vinegar and garlic dipping sauce (I think) as well as chopped onion. The special house rice was very good and I think it had white rice with green onion, lightly sautéed chopped onion, black pepper, and (big guess here) dry fried shredded taro. We liked the rice a lot, but we also didn't know to mix it...
