la vie bonbon — Restaurant in Zhongshan District

This is a lovely cute French pastry restaurant. Every piece of cake looks so beautiful. We ordered the Cake in the Fruit chocolate favor and Apple Mango Four seasons tart. We have a hot and a cold fruit tea also. They all delicious.

The service was great. Even after we finished the cakes, the waitress costantly refilled our water.

I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 because of Lacking Taiwanese local tea choices. Taiwan grows excellent tea. They go well with French pastry also. This beautiful shop could proudly present their home grown teas. Restricting customer to order at least 1 drink each. Understandable that drinks do make most big the profit. The cake is similar price already. It would be nice to spend the $ for 2 pieces of cake instead.😊😋. I would suggest to impose minimal charge and allow customer to decide how to...

First time here. The Lemon shrimp pasta was light and delicious! 😋 The mushroom risotto was, very basic. Also it didn’t seem like Arborio rice. It was very mushy like over cooked sushi rice. The melon cake was good. The whip cream was nice, but some of the fruits inside was starting to get slightly sour. The big disappointment was the chestnut cake/parfait thing. The chestnut swirl at the top was dry and crumbly. It didn’t feel fresh (like it was from the day before?). It was pricy, tiny and not fresh. Would I go back? Maybe just for the lemon pasta. But not...

I didn’t get greeted even after being seated for 10min. Then act all surprised when I went up to ask to order. And was only then given the menu to order.

Oh and you need to order one drink per person to eat the melon cake.

The melon cake itself is nothing too special, sure the cream is light and the melon is fresh but for this small of a portion and the 260 price I can get a whole melon and whipped cream myself.

All I’m going to suggest is to manage your expectations before coming here. How this place gets a 4.7 rating...
