Bistro88

Amazing dinner at Bistro88 in Taichung. An excellent atmosphere with a nice vintage design and empty restaurant.

FOOD: We ordered
1) Pumpkin Soup and Mushroom Soup: I had the mushroom one and it was good. My friend told me the pumpkin one was average. But as starter it was fine.
2) Scallops Asparagus: Asparagus were crunch and the scallops with a good texture. Good taste too.
3) Duck Breast: It was a huge piece of breast and it was really tender. It comes with some veggies and a chutney. I would come here to eat this duck again.
4) Schrimp Pasta: Sauce was strong (I like it) and made us full quickly. The texture of the pasta good (not over cooked), but schrimps average.
5) Macaron Ice Cream: Really beautiful decoration with some fruits and nuts. Macarons were good. I had Vanilla and Strawberry Ice Cream. In my opinion, Vanilla better.

MENU: Perfect with English and Pictures.

SERVICE: They were really kind and helpful, providing water all the time and explaining the dish. Something I didn’t like was it had a huge time gap between my Duck and my friends’s pasta to come to the table. So when my Duck arrived, my friend’s pasta was getting cold. So, as a suggestion, they could manage the time better to give the main courses together.

PRICE: 2,625 NTD 兩位. For all the atmosphere, the food, the service, I think the price is fair.

For sure, I’ll return to @bistro88taichung

Came for lunch a few days ago. We had a couple pizzas, the Caesar salad and the oyster laksa risotto. 10/10 food and service. Very diverse and interesting menu. They have the best wings in Taiwan. I'll definitely be coming again!

We’ve visited on Christmas night, which is a pleasure to spent time in with family. It’s probably a Christmas special, but they are having a great performance that day with a great Christmas vibe. The food and service is absolutely stunning and everything is top tier. However, the price is not normally affordable for everyone. It is quite expensive even for just a normal pasta.
Below, the photos are for a special Christmas course with a price at of 2300 per person.

It was with genuine surprise that I stumbled upon such a culinary gem in Nantun, Tainan. This bistro, ensconced in an inviting ambiance, offers a dining experience that truly stands out in the bustling city. The environment radiates warmth, ensuring that each guest feels immediately at ease, making it an excellent choice for both intimate dinners and friendly gatherings.

The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the seafood. Freshness is paramount when serving marine dishes, and this establishment hit the mark impeccably. Each bite transported me to the coast, with flavors so vivid, it was almost as if the ocean was whispering in my ear. The seafood rice, in particular, was a revelation. Expertly cooked grains melded harmoniously with succulent pieces of seafood, creating a symphony of flavors that danced jubilantly on my palate.

To round off the experience, the service was commendable. Attentive without being intrusive, the staff ensured the dining experience remained seamless. In summary, this bistro in Nantun offers an impeccable combination of ambiance, service, and, most importantly, delectable dishes that are sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate. Highly recommended for those seeking a memorable meal in Tainan.

I woke up with a craving for a seafood salad for breakfast, and I knew just where to go. Bistro 88 is one of my favorite Western restaurants in Taichung as it always delivers with the ambiance, the quality, the freshness, and the flavors. The crispy Prawn Salad was wonderfully satisfying with the prawns being perfectly cooked and served on a bed of organic greens, tossed with mozzarella, roasted almonds, cherry tomatoes, and wedges of fresh fruit.

Excellent restaurant and very helpful staff! They helped us customize our food as per our requirements.Thank you for best service!

While not precisely an Italian restaurant, the carbonara and pizza certainly were the most authentic I’ve had since traveling to Italy. Definitely on the higher end price wise. The service and quality of food make the experience worthwhile. Excellent ambience further adds to an oasis in the well established Taichung food culture. Worth a stop.

A fine brunch restaurant at the corner! Rare ingredients like lobster and walnut are served in breakfast meal set. The food is fresh and wholesome. Although it is expensive, it is very recommended for a healthy meal!
The environment is very nice and the service is prompt. This restaurant is impressive with its high quality of food and service.

Delicious food and attentive staff. Very difficult to find both around here. The atmosphere was wonderful. Very relaxing and immaculately clean
I had the avocado fig smoothie bowl and my boyfriend had the ham and cheese panini. Both were very tasty!

Food is delicious,price is ok.

Awesome bistro restaurant with cozy, relaxing ambience. The food is delicious, and the coffee is great too with free refills. The music (Christmas is playing currently) is wonderful. Public parking around the corner or just down the street. Enjoy!

One of our favorite restaurants in Taichung. Can mix appetizers, main dishes and pizzas. Good wine list but often my selection is not available, so have a backup.

Superb lunch I have here! The italian cuisine so since to have
