Established in 2001, Good Man Caffe and Steak House has opened a new branch located directly opposite Dollars Supermarket in MingCheng Road. It is unique in that it consists of two restaurants under one roof:

_Good Man Caffe
The ground floor is a lively, spacious restaurant that includes a small stage, an open-air courtyard, a large bar with 9 TV screens above it and even a few sidewalk-seats. Here they serve mostly Chinese dishes (with a variety of hotpots being the favourite), but those craving Western flavour can order from a range of delicious pastas and spaghettis prepared upstairs. Only limited English menus are available, but the friendly staff will happily help you place an order. Beverages include coffee, tea and draft beers. The bar also serves fine whiskeys, wines (NT$150 per glass) and imported beers (from NT$100). Not to mention a collection of cocktails all priced under NT$200! Recommended for groups is the Test Tube Baby (NT$500), which is more expensive, but consists of 25 tubes guaranteed to get the conversation going.

_Good Man Steak House
The second floor was designed to be reminiscent of the interior of a spacecraft. Fortunately it was done so stylishly that it creates an instant upper-class atmosphere, which is strengthened by live piano perfomances and truly gourmet Western foods. The chef's pride in his work clearly shows in each offering, whether it be the German Pig Knuckle (NT$450), the NZ Fillet Steak (NT$520) or the French Lobster Au Gratin (NT$680). And no less so with the variety of Italian spaghetti dishes (from NT$320). At night you have the choice of a set menu, including an appetizer, salad, soup and bread, your choice of main course, dessert and a beverage - all for the price of the listed main course (including a 10% service charge). There is another, smaller Good Man Caffe branch in Kaohsiung City on the corner of JongShan and MinSheng Roads.
