Photos & Text byHu Li Xiao Hai Hai

The restaurants in Nanzih are such great value for money, oh my!! When Sally lived nearby a few years ago, there wasn’t such an amazing brunch spot yet XD This time, the dishes we tried at Bon appétit were really good—generous portions, reasonable prices, and it’s the perfect place for a date~~ There aren’t too many items on the menu, but almost everything you’d want to eat is available, whether it’s brunch, mains, or desserts, you can enjoy them all 'd

Hu Li tried the dinner-only dishes, and the q rice bake and pasta were pretty great!! If you like this kind of food, you might want to check it out^^ All our meals come with a hearty soup, and drinks are only half price when added on ★

▲Classic meat sauce q rice bake NT$220

Hard to imagine this is actually a meat sauce q rice bake (%?j% innocent I thought it would just be a pile of meat sauce on top.... But when it arrived, it was so generously portioned!! And there’s even a half-boiled egg ~~~~~

▲ The cheese-filled q rice bake strings when you scoop it up!! This is just perfect for cheese lovers XD And there’s also plenty of German sausage inside.... Every bite is a combo of sausage, cheese, and q rice bake. It may look like a small bowl, but the portion is actually quite filling. Hu Li almost ate way too much~~ Rice-loving Hu says the q rice bake at Bon appétit is super flavorful—you might accidentally finish the whole thing = =

▲ Bon appétit pays attention to plating, and the q rice bake is served in delicate pots and bowls too. A girl would be charmed just by seeing this right away ('*ω'*)

▲Smoked bacon pasta NT$160

As mentioned earlier, the meals here are super great value~~ This freshly made pasta that’s simmered to reduce the sauce is such a good deal!! For students, the price might still be acceptable, but as a working adult, Hu Li feels it’s super budget-friendly for a date XD Bon appétit is also quite thoughtful in their ingredient choices!! The white sauce served with it is homemade too~

▲ The toppings are also super generous, and you’ll taste something in almost every bite

▲ The pasta is Q and chewy!! Each strand has soaked up the essence of the sauce—you might end up eating one bite after another without realizing it ("V＿"V)'' The toppings include bell peppers, which Sally really loves, so she was very satisfied~~ If you’re not a fan of bell peppers, remember to let the staff know in advance!

▲ The slightly salty smoked bacon helps cut through the richness of the white sauce, enhancing the overall flavor

▲Chef’s soup

The warm soup is rich and aromatic. This is also a soup that the shop insists on cooking themselves!! So it’s not overly thick—it has a refreshing, milky flavor~~

▲ The soup also comes with generous toppings XD Coming to Bon appétit, you can definitely eat your fill~~ Kids living in Nanzih are so lucky!

▲Chocolate crepe

This crepe is highly recommended for anyone with a sweet tooth!! Its shape is so fun, with a layer of chocolate spread inside, then a few marshmallows placed on top.... When heated, the melted marshmallows coat the chocolate crepe and boost the sweetness—crunchy texture meets soft, gooey deliciousness, a perfect match!! (´%?∀% wow)

▲ Even the dessert is stretchy~~ So fun to eat!! Sweet lovers can dig into the marshmallow part, and if you’re not into sweets like Hu, just enjoy the crepe by itself ^^
Break it into pieces and enjoy.... It’s snack-like and super moreish~~

▲Forest Milk Tea Pancake NT$150

If you love Morinaga milk candy, you have to try this one!! The pancake is crispy outside and soft inside with a nice bite, and the homemade melted milk syrup is pretty great~

The milk syrup tastes like a nostalgic sweetness 'd The pancake itself isn’t heavily flavored, just a light aroma~~ So sprinkling some powdered sugar and pairing it with the milk syrup is just right (%?j% innocent

▲ The pancake also comes with a scoop of ice cream—eating it gives you that sweet-and-cold explosion feeling ^^

▲Flame Coffee NT$130 (drinks ordered with dinner enjoy a half-price discount)

Kids who love ice cream can go for this flame coffee~~ The slightly sweet ice topping melts into the slightly bitter coffee—you can drink it straight or stir it up, either way is good!! If you want coffee with your meal on a date, this is a great choice ^^

▲Fruit Tea (cold) NT$120

Hu Li, who insists on ordering fruit tea no matter where they eat, gave this one high praise XD The base of the fruit tea is well chosen, and the sugar used to enhance the flavor is also carefully selected!! Bon appétit pays attention to ingredients—even the syrup for the drinks is homemade. You can taste the subtle sweetness in the fruit tea~

▲Such a big cup~~~~~This incredibly refreshing fruit tea is so satisfying yet guilt-free to drink till the end!! If you crave a sweet and tangy romance in your taste buds, definitely give it a try~<

▲The dining atmosphere here is very cozy, filled with the warmth of home

▲The decor here is great for photos — if you’re on a date at Bon appétit, take lots of pictures~~~

Bon appétit is a really thoughtful restaurant!! The dishes are generously portioned and not too pricey~ The elegant dining environment is perfect for dates, and also great for gatherings with friends^^ They also serve sweet treats that girls love, so you can enjoy a hearty and happy meal. The stringy, chewy q grilled rice and delicious pasta are only available for dinner, but pancakes and waffles are available all day!

Recommended for those who love great value, tasty food, and want a sweet, fulfilling date
