Danshui Consular Coffee Shop Introduction
The Consulate Restaurant is located across from Fort San Domingo. The travel-loving owner often collects various souvenirs and folk craft decorations from different countries during her trips, bringing them back to the restaurant to beautify the dining space with a dazzling and interesting array of items. The second floor features a variety of pasta used to decorate the tables, which are trophies from her family's travels around the world. The restaurant also has an outdoor café where guests can experience the nostalgic charm of the coastal town, enjoy a distant view of Guanyin Mountain, and be enchanted by the beautiful sunset over Tamsui. On a breezy summer afternoon, savoring aromatic coffee while enjoying the handmade desserts creates an elegant and leisurely atmosphere. If you have been to Tamsui, you must be familiar 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. Located right across from Fort San Domingo and adjacent to the Tamsui river estuary, drinking coffee here allows you to witness the historical changes and prosperity of Tamsui, while also gazing at the horizon that connects to the vast ocean. With just a few steps from inside to outside, it feels as if one can instantly escape the hustle and bustle of the city 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.
