cafe crotchet 堁夏咖啡 台中最美窗景咖啡廳 — Restaurant in Taichung

Visited the café on the 6th floor of the Taiwan National Theater. The view is lovely and it’s a nice spot to relax above the city. Food was just okay, and we had to wait almost an hour for a table since reservations weren’t accepted. Each table has a 90-minute limit, but we were reminded our time was up even though we still had 15 minutes left, that part felt a bit rushed.

What really stood out though was the balcony outside — it felt like a hidden rooftop garden! Peaceful, green, and unexpectedly charming. Honestly, next time I might just head straight to the garden to enjoy the view...

The food was great. For starters, we had the smoked-duck salad, then we had the tomato bolognese and cheese lagsagna and beef bourguignon with focaccia as our main dish. The sald was refreshing, and the duck tender. The lagsagna was very hot, and the beef borguignon was sumptuous and filling. Oh7 was so responsive and helpful, making our experience in Cafe Crotchet a delight.

For dessert, we had orange red jade white chocolate tart and organic apple blossom tea. The perfect pair to end our late lunch.

Will definitely recommend to friends to go visit Cafe Crotchet... made me...

SO cute. Honestly I thought it would be more expensive due to the location but it was similarly priced to other higher-end cafes around town. The way the cafe is built (very narrow) means that basically every table gets a nice view of the city and park across the street. My favorite dish was the truffle rice with mushrooms. You definitely need to make a reservation in advance because it fills up immediately after it...
