--By Douglas Habecker, translated by Ann Li
This striking new bar and grill makes an immediate
impression with its attractive decor and setting. Converted
from a house along a quiet residential lane just off of JingCheng
Road, Uzo features a very nice outdoor bar, surrounded by
tree-shaded courtyard with tables. The white Greek-style building
contains a warm, inviting interior filled with more seating.
Long-time Taichung residents and co-owners Ken Mann and Ramin
Fouladpour go through great lengths to make this the perfect
hang-out for Taichung's mostly-balmy evenings, complete with
a good drink selection, a small but tasty food menu, and features
like free wireless Internet. There is a decent selection of
cocktails, starting around NT$150, plus wines, coffees, and
shots of tequila, vodka, whiskey and--of course--Greek ouzo.
Beers (NT$110-170) include about six Belgian varieties like
Duvel and Rubbel Sexy Lager. Although the owners stress that
Uzo isn't a full-fledged restaurant, the small menu here could
probably qualify this place as Taichung's first Greek eatery.
Mediterranean-style fare includes NT$210 Gyros Kebab Wraps
(served with fries)--chicken, pork and the vegetarian Falafel
Wrap--all made with imported lavash bread. There are also
similar NT$180 gyro kebab salads, plus Greek Salad with feta
cheese and olives. Wraps and salads include two out of eight
available sauces, like Yoghurt Mint or Basil Lemon Mayonnaise.
Appetizers include Hummus Dip with Lavash Chips (NT$110) and
Calamari Rings (NT$150).
