Duōme
BRUNCH $$$
(Duōme; 16 Alley 217, Anhe Rd, Sec 2; set lunch NT$240-300; noon-1am Mon-Fri, 10.30am-1am
Sat & Sun; ; Technology Building)
With a minimalist design making it look like a
cosy woodshed, a diverse Western menu and wi-fi, Duome is a top spot for a long after-
noon meal. The German sausage with slow-roasted tomatoes and mushrooms (and eggs
done your way) is a favourite.
Duome also makes great coffee and desserts. Italian dishes are on the dinner menu,
though this place is mostly known for brunch.
Toasteria Cafe
SANDWICHES $$$
(

; 3 Lane 169, Dunhua S Rd, Sec 1; sandwiches NT$150-210; 11am-2am
Mon-Thu, 9am-2pm Sat, to midnight Sun; ; Zhongxiao Dunhua)
Being defiantly
anti-low-fat cheese, diet soda and credit cards seems at least part of what's won Toasteria
a loyal enough following that they now have two branches in the city. You can't go
wrong with the classic grilled cheese on wholemeal toast, but there's a wide selection of
other melts, as well as pastas and Western breakfasts.
Slack Season Tan Tsu Noodles
NOODLES $$$
(Dù Xiǎo Yuè; 12 Alley 8, Lane 216, Zhongxiao E Rd, Sec 4; dishes NT$150-260; 11.30am-11pm;
; Zhongxiao Dunhua)
An upscale branch of a famous Tainan-based snack restaurant,
Slack Season (which refers to the style of tangy noodles served during the fishing off-
season) serves a long menu of southern dishes, including mullet roe, bamboo shoots with
pork, outrageously good fried shrimp rolls, and of course the noodles (a mere NT$50 per
bowl).
To get here take Exit 3 of the MRT and turn right on Lane 216 and again on Alley 8.
The restaurant is just down the alley. Look for the sign reading 'Since 1895'.
Kunming Islamic Restaurant
INDIAN $$$
(Kūnmíng Yuán;

Nanjing E Rd)
This Halal restaurant serves some of the best, if not the best, Indian food in
town. Try the lamb vindaloo.
