新葡苑餐廳 台北中山店 — Restaurant in Zhongshan District

Went there for a late Sunday lunch and found the place not crowded at all. The food was good and portions were decent size. They also have a wide selection of vegetarian food if you are dining with a non meat eater. Although it was not crowded for a Sunday afternoon the service was a bit slow. Maybe because it was Sunday and no one wants to work on Sunday but the service could have been better. But in all in all not a bad place to get a few dumplings or spicy beef soup then this...

Authentic Canto cuisine with roast meat, duck and dim sum. The must try’s are the cute egg custard pig, the fried rice with roast meat, Shanghai xiaolongbao, roast duck and basically anything off the dimsum menu. Service is excellent, won’t lose to dingtaifeng. If you’ve more than 8pax they’ll direct you to a room. Overall, good experience!

正文 二二八連假期間，與父母正巧到訪中山站購物，於是晚餐就決定就地解決。我想起了中山北路的老餐廳「新葡苑」，便帶著父母前往用餐。新葡苑在老餐館雲集的台北市，並非是名氣鼎天，但這間餐廳於我家而言，有著難以忘懷的回憶。 過去新葡苑尚未改組前的「葡苑」餐廳，位於信義路與新生南路口。兒時父母經常帶我打發晚餐。我記得約莫十年前，某次父親偶然提起這家餐廳，我們才又重返中山北路的新葡苑用餐。我父親最愛腸粉，母親最愛鹹水角，而我最喜歡醉雞和叉燒。 我喜歡老餐館。我想最主要的原因，多半是因為他們沒有房東。沒有租金壓力的情況下，老餐館抗壓性遠比年輕餐廳為高，不但用餐空間寬敞舒適，餐具硬體等雖有年歲卻仍保養得宜，更重要的是這些餐廳的餐桌都鋪有乾淨的桌巾。吃起飯來，不但體面舒服，沒有限制用餐時間，茶水甜點一應俱全。 齋主我總時不時會前往用餐。不論是家庭聚餐，和女友約會，還是替遠方朋友洗塵，我都覺得這種老餐館吃起飯來舒服且合適。 去年疫情之初，與女友曾於中山北路新葡苑用餐。當時疫情緊繃，人人自危，假日熱門時段，只有寥寥數桌用餐。除我以外，女友也多少有些擔憂，那天刻意多點了些吃不完的菜色，也當然打包回家。結帳時與櫃檯人員多鼓勵了幾句，希望他們能順利度過。前幾日二二八連假時，桌桌爆滿，餐廳裡充滿著客人閒聊時的喜悅，令人欣慰。 其實葡苑這幾年的變化不可謂不多。我並不喜歡葡苑這幾年開設的新餐廳，像是「葡苑46」，或是品牌年輕化的「D弐拾弐」或「港苑」。或許是求新求變，反而失去了我認為這類老餐廳最無可取代的「老」價值。 曾經某次與個年紀約莫28歲的新朋友相約，當時也正巧在南京西路。我便提議讓我作東，到新葡苑吃頓晚飯。當時這位新朋友對我的決定感到相當意外，他覺得附近有這麼多有趣的新餐廳，何以要選一間價格不便宜的老餐廳?...
