Taking advantage of the baseball championship, the restaurant specially entertained a glass of champagne, so I decided to come to the long-standing Lin Restaurant to taste this well-designed autumn package. The restaurant is hidden in the quiet alleys of Taipei. The entrance is as elegant as leading to a small French courtyard. After entering, you can appreciate the chef's concentration on cooking in the open kitchen, which is full of ceremony and warmth.

From the meticulous and exquisite cuisine to the professional and intimate wine pairing, this dinner can be described as perfect. The following will introduce the highlights and experiences of this meal in detail.

Lin Restaurant Menu Introduction and Dining Experience

Appetizers and appetizers

Smoked duck liver / Brioche

Duck liver has a delicate texture and rich flavor, and it is paired with crispy Brioche to bring a rich taste contrast. The overall performance is stable, but there are a few surprises, and there are fewer aftertaste memories.

Autumn crab / fennel / caviar(Recommended! ）

Properly handled autumn crabs can always bring the purest delicacy!
The bottom layer is rich and silky crab meat with white sauce, while the middle layer is sandwiched with light shrimp jelly, which achieves a wonderful balance between richness and refreshing taste. Finally, the caviar opened on the scene adds a sense of ceremony, and the first appetizer is amazing, the perfect opening!

Oysters / Jufeng Grapes / Strangefruit(Recommended! ）

The top layer is thinly sliced Jufeng grapes, which are paired with palatable-sized oysters and kiwi fruit sauce. The sweet and sour fruit flavor brings a fresh level to the oysters. Although the flavor of kiwi fruit is less obvious, the combination of oysters and grapes is wonderful, and the matching wine is the finishing touch!

The third appetizer (choose one of two)

Spiced frog leg / clarified chicken soup (recommended! ）

The noodles wrapped in frog legs are fried crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, without greasy feeling. They are paired with potatoes and basil sauce for a unique flavor. Usually I don't prefer soups to be paired with meals, but this dish is different. Frog legs and chicken soup are tasted separately. Clarifying the deliciousness of chicken soup can cleverly balance the oily feeling of fried food, which is quite ingenious.

Black truffle Tower / perigo Sauce (+$520)

Truffle scrambled eggs and Perigo sauce intertwine to create a rich flavor, the upper layer is covered with black truffles, and the visual effect is perfect. However, although it is delicious, there is a little less surprise, and the performance is well-behaved.

Bread basket and cream

The silky cream is really beautiful when it is scraped off. There are five kinds of bread options, each of which is delicious, but the speed of serving is too slow, and the cream melts a bit.

Add some first main course and pasta

Lobster / Windproof root / small maple leaf

It is a rare combination of Fenggen puree and lobster. Horseradish pepper is specially added to the sauce, but its flavor is less prominent, which is a pity.

Sea urchin Pasta (+$680)

A dish with high expectations, but the flavors of the noodles and sea urchins are not fully integrated, and the taste is slightly separated, not achieving the ideal rich sense of blend.

The second main course (choose one of two)

New Zealand and Sheep / Fermented coffee / Lamb thymus

The meat quality of lamb chops is delicate, and the fermented coffee sauce should add layers, but the taste is not obvious. The taste of the lamb thymus gland is similar to that of the calf thymus gland, and it has the fineness of chicken. Although I know that the processing process is extremely complicated, it is still difficult for me to have a special feeling for my clumsy mouth.

Grouper Melaleuca Pie /Lemon White Wine Sauce / French Trout Eggs (+$680)

It was precisely for this dish that Lin Restaurant was included in the pocket list. Sure enough, it lived up to expectations-the fish was tender, the skin was crispy, and the slightly sour fragrance of the lemon white wine sauce made the overall flavor even more prominent. It was one of the most satisfactory dishes of the night!

Desserts and snacks

Apple Red Xuan / Tofu / White Cheese

It is quite rare to use tofu as a dessert. It is paired with white cheese and apple red wine to bring a refreshing flavor, which just happens to draw a light end to the main meal.

Chestnut / olive oil / fermented rye bread

This dessert takes a rich route. The chestnut puree has the aromas of smoked longan wood and black tea, and the chestnut chips dotted on the surface add to the taste. The fermented rye bread at the bottom is like a Korean version of finger biscuits, absorbing the flavors of chestnuts and apples, making it a warm autumn day.

Petit Four

Six kinds of snacks! Of course you have to have one for each one~ it's very photogenic out of the box, but it tastes decent.

Meal and wine pairing

Lin Restaurant is extremely careful in the pairing of food and wine. Each dish has a precise matching wine, and it provides two options: full pairing, which you want to drink to the fullest, or semi pairing, which is pleasant to drink, so that people don't have to hesitate about the choice of three or five glasses. Feel hesitant. In addition, the store's own beer is also given away when you leave the venue. For those who love wine, it is full of happiness!

Personal feelings

In addition to the meal itself, this shop is also very sincere in the details. The five bread baskets at the beginning, the six optional petit four at the end, and the professional but warm service make this dinner smooth and enjoyable from start to finish.

Speak boldly: this store will definitely win Michelin in the future!
