#bar #100WAYS TO TRAVEL #dine pub The one-star Michelin restaurant "Impromptu by Paul Lee" serves as the director. The intuitive bar design at the entrance provides drinks, and the back half is the dining area. The restaurant's wine list is designed by bartending champion Nono, but unfortunately it is all pre-mixed cocktails. And it’s very sweet and has no layers~ 🌟It's okay to continue the hotel's textured decoration, if the date atmosphere is still there; but I thought the unit price of the meals was relatively high, and it turned out that the customers were all young girls. Although the table distance was very large, the overall atmosphere was similar to that of an izakaya. It's very noisy! 😣 There are very few menu options, and the five of us almost had to order the entire menu, so the appetizers were very salty even though they were small...btw I am a big fan of food! What you can eat is as follows: ✔️ Kale salad: with berries and citrus for a bitter taste ✔️ Fried pizza with margherita sauce: the best appetizer of the show ✔️ The grilled shrimps are chewy and the bonito pickled salad is also delicious (Lightning protection) Super salty squid ink risotto, grilled amachi chin, grilled blue and white bamboo shoots, any concoction (premade wine, no level); don’t spend money to order a bottle of red and white wine, the waiter will not serve it until halfway through the meal, so be careful with the wine If you don’t have enough knowledge, you may send the wrong message~ 🌟 The only thing worth eating in this restaurant is its main course: ✔️The flame roasted duck tableside show is not to be missed. The roasted duck burns instantly after being poured over the fire (very good to photograph). The roasted duck skin is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with orange duck sauce and caramelized leeks. ✔️The rib-eye steak is average, and the bone marrow is full of oil. ✔️The lamb hamburger is my favorite ⚡️❌ This is another store that relies on its reputation for good looks. I saw that the website not only charges a deposit in advance for reservations, but I have to use three methods to suppress my anger (Western toast is delicious). This is a solid article to persuade people to quit. 😤 📍 No. 38, Songren Road, Xinyi District, Taipei City (1F, Le Meridien Hotel, A13, opposite Din Tai Fung, Far East Department Store, is faster)

The hotel's location is excellent, just a 6-minute walk from the MRT station. The room has good lighting and doesn't feel cramped. Even the single beds are large and have a medium firmness. There are several pillow options available, and if you prefer a firmer one, you can ask the staff for it. 😆 The breakfast is small and exquisite, with separate sections for salad and cold dishes, bread, beverages, Chinese hot dishes, and freshly cooked dishes. The soup dumplings are really juicy, and I had two of them. 🤩 The small egg tarts are also quite tasty. There's even freshly brewed coffee a bit further away. Overall, I'm very satisfied.
