CÉ LA VI Taipei

Oddly, the set menu went downhill in taste starting from an excellent salmon tataki and veloute soup to a dry, largely tasteless garoupa and an excessively sweet matcha mousse and ice cream. Great looking space. Don’t arrive early for meals or you won’t be able to even access the floor from the elevator

Beautiful bar on the rooftop of the newly opened Breeze Nanshan tower (48F), right next to the city landmark of Taipei 101, it’s got absolutely the most stunning view you can get in all of Taiwan! Great music, friendly and caring services (not sure about the weekends, when it’s super busy... Since we went on a weekday before the grand opening). Restaurant has only 35 seats (reservation recommended) but the bar/lounge is huge. Dishes are composed with top quality ingredients (sourced locally as well as imported). It’s definitely a unique experience and a must when you’re in Taipei.

Had a blast here for thanksgiving lunch - the weekday 5 course lunch is really worth the value. Everything is delicious and each dish is nicely presented. Highlights for me were scallop for appetizer, the pan-fried fish (though not looking pretty lol) for entree, and the Milk tea tart for dessert . Even at day time the view is spectacular. Would love to come back to try the bar for their night view or afternoon tea.

A newly opened modern upscale restaurant located on the 48th floor which will give a bird's eye view of Taipei. Services are excellent and caring. The 5 courses lunch menu is already good enough. The presentation of all the dishes are very appealing. Food are delicious and I love the desserts particularly.

Go for the atmosphere and setting, not for the food. Spicy notes punctuate the dinner set menu, without much inspiration or artistry, I’m afraid. However, the rooibos tea on the rocks blew me away (I speak as a former South African resident!), and the grilled octopus was paired with an innovative sauce that dazzled. Competent service ensured my birthday guest was sufficiently delighted after appropriate notes in the seamless online reservation system. Why 3 stars? That night I was the thirstiest I’ve been after a restaurant meal since France won the World Cup.

The food in general was very tasty although I think I chose the wrong menu which I couldn’t enjoy as much. But I like the menu my boyfriend chose, so I would say the food is for sure tasty. The service at first was so so because for the first few dishes, the guy that delivered us the dishes couldn’t speak English, or maybe timid to speak English? So even thought it was my boyfriend’s dishes, he still was explaining to me in Chinese and I had to try to translate for my boyfriend which I found a bit unprofessional. But after I secretly complained about it between my boyfriend and I, they seemed to notice about it and so they changed to another guy that could explain the dishes in English directly to him which was nice! After I went to the washroom and saw that the toilet was a little bit dirty. (About that I know it was not the staff’s problem, I suppose it was someone that didn’t know how to use toilet.) I was not feeling comfortable using it so I told one of the staff that the toilet is dirty. I could tell from their reaction that they thought I was being too exaggerated, just that one toilet the previous person didn’t flush, and the other was with previous user’s pee on the lid.. But still, they cleaned it for me yet it wasn’t a pleasant feeling for me so I complained to my boyfriend about the situation.. Then, not long after, I don’t know how did they noticed. But a staff came to give us a small desert and apologize for the unpleasant situation I encountered. I was very surprised how they were trying to make sure the customers enjoy in their restaurant as much as they can. Thank you CÉ LA VI for your service :)) ?

Afternoon tea set taste wise and it is worth for the price. Also the window view is good ?

We were there for Christmas dinner. Best view of Taipei101 in town. The food served are very good except the wagyu beef was a bit hard, ribeye would have been a better choice. The waiters at the restaurants were all over the place and not trained well. There are many waiters but took forever to get someone to order or even just to get a water. All very good looking waiters but not professionally trained. Other than the waiters, it was a good experience overall.
