Blue Coral Island (藍色珊瑚島)

There's no way to miss this large restaurant, which guards the entrance to Wuchuan Parkway. Inspired by the owners' trip to Greece, the building resembles a Greek villa, with whitewashed interior and exterior, highlighted with deep blue colors and other ocean-related decor, such as giant shell-shaped chairs and framed photographs of Greece.

The food is a mostly-Chinese mix that includes a little Japanese, Thai and Western. Seafood lovers will enjoy the selection of live fish, crabs and shellfish; each choice can be divided up and prepared in one to three ways, such as sashimi, baked, fried or as a soup. There is also plenty of non-seafood, such as chicken, pork, mutton and beef dishes (NT$200-280).

Other dishes include some spicy, Thai-style curry dishes , Japanese-style baked cheese dishes, and four kinds of NT$300 set meals (beef stew, pork ribs, eel or bream) which come with appetizer, vegetables, fruit and drink, and are available for lunch/dinner on weekdays. Plenty of hot/iced coffees (NT$160/180), juices, beers (NT$80-120) and other drinks are served, too.

Larger parties sit on the first floor, or can opt for one of the VIP rooms on the third floor, ranging from a cute little four-person room to combined 30-40 person rooms. The outdoor roof will be open in warmer weather and can be rented for special functions.
