台南 庫肯花園 早午餐 晚餐

Great food, fresh Nice sweet waitress

庫肯花園 ku4 ken3 hua1 yuan2 [ㄎㄨˋ][ㄎㄣˇ][ㄏㄨㄚ][ㄩㄢˊ] Keukenhof Garden This European style cafe / restaurant was quite a surprise to find. It's hidden off the main street 大學路 (Da Xue Rd) down a bit of a dark alley. The staff were skilled in English. The menu had pictures and was also bilingual (Chinese and English). So, the customer who didn't speak a word of Chinese would have no problems getting by. The place is very spacious inside, which is unexpected just from looking at the outside. With proper reservation, the place could accommodate large parties of 10 or more. The menu had mostly Italian pasta dishes with a few steaks. The pasta was cooked al dente (firm but not hard) which is exactly how I prefer pasta. I tried the penne pasta in tomato sauce with meatballs. The meat balls were rather good and actually made from ground beef. There was a bit of cheese inside the meat ball though which was an unusual surprise. The meal came as a set with unlimited french bread (toasted), corn soup, Japanese style cake and a drink. The set meals let you pick any drink on the menu which is nice. The iced caramel milk tea was superb, not too sweet. All in all the price was reasonable, under NT $500 for two people. I swiped a bunch of business cards and will definately recommend this place to all my friends. Wish the owner would also add the English name (Keukenhof Garden) to this entry so more people can find it on Google.

This is not Italian food! Long Story: The name itself should had been a warning. An Italian restaurant named after a Dutch town. The salad was decent. The meatballs were horrible. Fried chicken on a a pasta? A “cheddar” cheese which didn’t taste as cheddar cheese. This is just wrong. At least please don’t call it Italian food!

For the simplicity of the food (Italian dishes), I would have expected it either to be a little better or a little cheaper. I had the pork steak, which was fair in taste but tough a little tough in texture. My wife had a chicken mushroom pesto which had a decent flavor, but the meat was grisly. The soup was actually pretty good, as was the brownie dessert. Overall, not bad, but I wouldn't go back for a meal.

Delicious and waitress is nice!

Quite cozy and comfortable place having dinner with folks and the dishes are elegant and fine at the friendly price level so to speak! Just the service team could has some potential to be better.

The cafe with nice atmostphere The price is reasonable. I order spaghetti with mentaiko which is rich in taste. But the cesear salad dressing is too mild. My friend ordered porkchop. It's a bit red inside. The food is a bit slow to serve. However, the staff is really good. English menu is available.

The restaurant is in the alley and make me feel quiet and comfortable and the service is good.
