In its 10th year of existence, La Terrasse
continues to find new ways to impress its customers.
This season, they have introduced a handful of great
new dishes to keep you full all winter long.
On its most recent visit, my dining
group was happily surprised by the creamy, delicious
Baked Cauliflower with Cheese (NT$120), which disappeared
fast and was good to the last bite. The Sauteed Mixed
Mushrooms were also very good, soaked in butter and
garlic. But the star of the meal was definitely the
German Pig's Knuckle (NT$320).
Some of the classic Western dishes
La Terrasse has been thriving on for years are the Potato
Skins--a baked potato with bacon bits, onion and toppings
(NT$120), the Chicken Wings (NT$190) and the always-good
Smoked Salmon Plate (NT$190). The restaurant also serves
fantastic Taiwan-style BBQ Pork Ribs (NT$480) and an
amazing assortment of sandwiches, like the Tuna Melt
on Rye (NT$190).
With an outdoor patio and comfortable
indoor seating, La Terrasse has always been a good place
to go for lunch, when you can order the soup of the
day (NT$85) or one of six salads (NT$85-230). Relaxing
over a meal, you can watch the world go by while enjoying
international cuisine in one of Taichung's most popular
restaurants.
If you haven't been to La Terrasse
before, a good time to start would be Christmas, when
they haul out all the trimmings to create a Christmas
experience that will have you whistling "Rudolph
the Red-Nosed Reindeer" straight through the Chinese
New Year. The five-course dinner will be served from
December 22 to 25 and, if you would like to try it at
home, you can order take-away turkeys, too. |
