Tamsui Consulate Café Introduction
The Consulate Restaurant is located opposite Fort San Domingo. The travel-loving owner often collects a variety of souvenirs and folk art decorations from different countries during her trips, which she brings back to the restaurant to create a vibrant and interesting dining space. The second floor features various Italian pasta dishes used to decorate the tables, which are trophies from her family's travels around the world. The restaurant also has an outdoor café where you can feel the nostalgic charm of the seaside town, gaze at Guanyin Mountain, and be captivated by the beautiful sunset over Tamsui. In the breezy summer afternoons, enjoying a cup of rich coffee while savoring the homemade desserts offers a refined leisurely experience. If you've been to Tamsui, you can't be unfamiliar with Fort San Domingo, where the British established a consulate during the late Qing Dynasty, which is also the origin of the restaurant's name. Situated right across from Fort San Domingo, adjacent to the Tamsui River estuary, drinking coffee here not only allows you to witness the historical vicissitudes and prosperity of Tamsui but also offers distant views of the horizon connecting to the vast ocean at the estuary. Just a few steps in and out of the door gives the impression that you can instantly escape the urban hustle and enjoy a leisurely afternoon. Highly recommended are the Consulate Coffee, Vienna Coffee, and Paris Champs-Élysées Black Tea. Recommended dishes: Iced Latte, Fruit Tea.
