      The romantic city of Paris may be thousands of miles away, but fine French dining and live jazz music awaits you at the cozy 1920 Jazz Club. Located in the middle of the NeiHu business district, this French restaurant caters to the modern man and woman seeking unique cuisine in a relaxing atmosphere.

   1920 Jazz Club opened in June and was designed by a top Taiwanese interior design company. The decor is artistic and stylish; leopard-print comfortable chairs add flair to the spacious interior. The restaurant feels like an upscale cigar lounge, as it offers a wide variety of superior cigars and cocktails. Exquisite French cuisine is on the menu at the Jazz Club. The chef studied in France and graduated as valedictorian of his class. From the Evian water to the cheese crepes, French delicacies are offered at a reasonable price. Lunch patrons can order a la carte or they can choose one of four set meals. Each set meal is NT$450 and includes soup, salad, their choice of meat, and coffee and tea. Western a la carte items include onion rings (NT$250), chicken wings (NT$250) and crispy potato strips (NT$250).

   Appetizers range from NT$200-$360. Try the Avocado and Shrimps with walnut sauce (NT$260) or Pigeon Cream Soup with wild mushrooms (NT$220). For a main dish, enjoy the Duck Breast with red wine and pears (NT$600) or Stuffed Chicken Leg in cheese and spinach (NT$450) for a unique dining experience. The price may be higher than what you would normally pay for lunch, but the quality and presentation of the food and the exceptional service is worth every penny. Set dinner meals are also available and cost NT$680-NT$980.

   While enjoying delicious food and cocktails, you can listen to live jazz music. The club is open until 2pm on weekdays and 5am on weekends to provide night-owl patrons with a place to escape and relax. After 9:30 pm on weekends, a cover charge of $300 is required to get into the restaurant, where you can dance the night away. Each night of the week has a different theme, with Tuesdays featuring Swing music, Wednesdays catering to the ladies, and Thursdays being Gentleman's? night. There is enough seating for 150 people and a VIP room is available for parties or special occasions.
