This cozy little place is named after
the 16th arrondissement, or district, in Paris and does
its best to recreate the ambiance that neighborhood
is famed for. The Western-style restaurant is part of
the chic boutique hotel Le Parker, and is located on
the ground floor, facing onto a quiet street only 50
meters from the extreme hustle and bustle of the Feng
Chia shopping district. Inside, there are 26 seats with
a good view through a glass wall, looking onto 20 more
sidewalk cafe seats (good for smokers). The simple,
reasonably-priced selection includes main courses like
Spicy Thai-Style Squid Ink Pasta (NT$220), Cordon Bleu
Cheese Pork Chop Rice (NT$250) and Mediterranean Cod
Fish Fillet Rice, with prices inclusive of salad, bread,
soup, dessert and drink. There are also cheaper pasta
entrees like Tomato Clam (NT$140), Basil Crab (NT$160),
and Seafood (NT$180), plus hot-pot options (NT$250),
salads, appetizers and desserts. Teas, coffees and juices
are NT$80-120. Area 16 also offers business lunch and
teatime specials. --By Douglas Habecker, translated
