Excellent view over Taipei and the hills on a clear day, which turns into a lovely 'city skyline at night' experience after dark with the lights of the city and Taipei 101 clearly visible in the distance. Coffee, waffles, pizza, and cocktails are on the menu here. There is indoor seating, balcony seating without glass, and balcony seating with clear plastic sheets to keep guests a little protected from the elements (it can get quite blustery!).
