Oyster Bar Taipei

Deep Fried Crab Cake With Sea Urchin Tartare

The Oyster Bar is on the Gourmet Food floor of the Bellavita complex by the Taipei City Hall MRT station. It boasts a very sleek look especially for a food court kiosk restaurant. Their specialty as you can probably guess, is oysters. We ordered two Ecailles oysters that were said to have a fruity taste – and boy, did they! Never had an oyster with such a unique taste that’s for sure.

We had two glasses of white wine to accompany our meal – a Joseph Drouhin chablis and a Henri Bourgeois Sancerre Blanc Les Baronnes the former being more weighty and sour and the latter being a sweeter, lighter and fruitier white. We had a smoked salmon and mixed freen salad served with onion, chopped capers, sour cream and yellow and white egg yolk, a smoked salmon block with orange, seaweed and original flavours as well as a deep fried crab cake with sea urchin tartare. Despite the slight mess up with our order (received a pan fried shrimp and scallop plate instead of my order of crab cake) the service was cordial and quite fast – but we were also the only customers at the Oyster Bar that night. While the meal was expensive by Taiwan’s standards, you would pay about the same in the West.
