【台北】西華飯店Toscana,三千元能得到什麼樣的義式素食?(已歇業)Toscana in Sherwood Taipei. What kind of Italian vegetarian food would you get within NT$3,000? (Permanently closed)
西華飯店一樓的義大利餐廳Toscana,長年以來一直占據我的台北市西餐信賴名單。信賴的意思是,禁不起出錯的場合,來這裡不論菜色、場地、服務總是能夠一整個放心。
Toscana, an Italian restaurant located on the 1st floor of Sherwood Taipei, is always on my reliable list. Reliable means, nothing needs to be worried here when you are not allowed to make any mistakes.
招牌菜龍蝦麵、各式牛排總能賓主盡歡,價格實惠,第一次到訪的客人更每每驚豔玻璃屋氣氛之好。但最近開始減少食用肉類的我,這回給自己(應該是給餐廳吧)的題目是:一人三千元,在Toscana吃素,會得到什麼?
Their signature dishes including lobster noodles and all kinds of steak always satisfied everyone with tastes and prices. Furthermore, the amazing atmosphere of the glass house always surprised new guests. But I asked myself (actually the restaurant?) “What kind of vegetarian food would I get with a budget of NT$3,000?), since I was trying to eat less meat and seafood.
仔細看菜單才發現其實素菜有很多,邊翻邊盤算,點一冷、一熱前菜、一碗湯、主菜、乳酪盤、甜點,湊成一份全餐,差不多三千,立即被服務生阻止!她說一般食量點前菜(或湯)、主菜、甜點各一就會飽。所以我刪了一道冷菜,但還是很想點乳酪,她強烈建議我吃完主菜再決定,好,聽專業的。
I found out that their were various vegetarian dishes when going through the menu thoroughly, and I planted to order a cold and a hot appetizer, a bowl of soup, main dish, a cheese plate and dessert for a full course with my budget. But the waitress stopped me immediately! She said that an appetizer or soup, main dish and dessert would be enough for an ordinary people. Hence I omitted an appetizer. However, I still want some cheese, and she strongly recommended me to decide after finish my main dish.
酒選擇澳洲產Sauvignon Blanc白葡萄酒,我不擅品酒,只能形容香氣輕盈活潑,這似乎是所有Sauvignon Blanc的特色啊,花香果香那些我完全連結不起來。
A glass of Sauvignon Blanc white wine from Australia. I was not good at wine tasting, and all I could say was lively and light. But it seemed those words were applicable to all Sauvignon Blanc. Neither flowery nor fruity smells were in my vocabulary.
有人同我一樣麵包只沾橄欖油不加醋嗎?
Anyone same to me that only dipping olive oil without vinegar?
烤蔬菜熱呼呼上桌。
Very hot grilled vegetable.
搭配收濃的紅酒醋醬汁,超乎預期的可口。
More tasty than my expectation with condensed red wine vinegar sauce.
真材實料的南瓜湯。
Pumpkin soup with generous ingredient.
主菜牛肝菌燉飯,上桌便香氣四溢。
Main dish of porcini risotto with gorgeous and strong smell.
飯多,料也是滿滿的。
A big volume of not only rice but mushroom.
當晚除了我,只有另兩桌客人,所以任性挑了這麼好的位子。
Only two groups of guests besides me, hence I requested for such a great table.
坐在書架旁,等菜的空檔還能翻兩頁書,但也就兩頁,都沒有等很久,下一道就上來了。
Reading two pages of the book since I sat beside the bookshelf; only two pages as I didn’t wait too long between dishes.
吃完燉飯還是很想吃乳酪,但已經飽了,直接上甜點吧。
I didn’t think I could finish a cheese plate as I was really full though I really wanted to. Thus dessert, please.
終於鼓起勇氣點松露冰淇淋。發現我很難接餐廳業配因為即使遇上松露這樣的高貴食材,「口口奢華,極緻享受」之類的字句在我這不會看到,我很誠實的說這搭配我不愛,我吃過一次就好。以後還是乖乖點panna cotta或蛋糕吧。
Finally I encouraged myself to try truffle ice cream. You would never read wording such as “extravagance bites” or “ultimate indulgence” on my website even with very precious ingredients like truffle. Frankly, I didn’t like the combination, and next time I might order ordinary dessert such as panna cotta or cake rather than try it twice.
但,它能長年待在菜單上沒被下架,表示點菜率頗佳,喜歡的人比不喜歡的多。
But as a signature dish, I believed that many people loved it.
我比較晚到,主菜吃到一半就剩我一人了,獨享這麼漂亮的空間。
All guests left the restaurant when I had my main dish. Therefore the lovely space temporarily belonged to me, only me.
回到主題,三千元能在Toscana得到什麼樣的素菜?答案是,根本吃不完!就算加酒水、加服務費,仍然三千有找!選擇還很多!
As title: What kind of vegetarian food I could get with a budget of NT$3,000? The answer was I could not eat it up! I spent less than NT$3,000 even water, wine and service charge were included.
至於為什麼設定在三千元呢?不久後我會給答案。
But why NT$3,000? I would answer you soon.
路癡到達法:捷運中山國中站出站後向南走,走到民生東路左轉。或搭公車到民生敦化路口,路線班次非常多,下車往台北101反方向走。
Get there as a no-brainer: Walk south when you leave MRT Zhoungshan Junior High School Station. Turn left on Minsheng East Rd. and walk for a couple of minutes.
