Tasting Journey #135 - 加貝爾廚藝工作坊

加貝爾廚藝工作坊
台北市中山區北安路837號

An extreme clash of restaurant and cuisine experience.  The restaurant is located in an area that sells local eateries like beef noodle soup, and breakfast quick stops.  The restaurant itself, has minimal decoration that showed signs of local eateries everywhere.  The servers and chiefs probably are run by the same family.  I was very skeptical  how good this place could be.


Looking at the menu, it served pasta in single portions, or whole grilled chicken for parties.  According to the selection, if you don't have a huge group, essentially your only options are pasta, pasta, and pasta.  Even if you have a large group, the dishes they offer would require that you make a reservation in advance.


Frankly speaking, the food is well made, but the presentation could be improved.  I think one important element of dining not only requires pleasure to the taste, but also the ambience.  This restaurant in itself already lacked the ambience portion for a well-balanced tasting journey, but at the same time, the presentation of the dishes were served on local plates that you would only expect to see in a stir-fry restaurant.

Regardless, the food is well-made.  The bacon & chicken spaghetti dish I ordered was fire burning spicy. Make sure you are well prepared for this sizzling dish if you do decide to attempt it.
