Tamsui Consulate Cafe Introduction
The Consulate Restaurant is located across from Fort San Domingo. The travel-loving owner often collects various souvenirs and folk crafts during her trips, which are displayed in the restaurant, creating a delightful and interesting dining and resting space. The second floor features a variety of Italian pasta used to decorate the tables, which are trophies from her family’s trips around the world. The restaurant has an outdoor coffee terrace, allowing guests to experience the nostalgic charm of the seaside town, gaze at Guanyin Mountain, and be enchanted by the beautiful sunset over Tamsui. On a breezy summer afternoon, guests can enjoy fragrant coffee while savoring the restaurant's homemade desserts, creating an elegant and leisurely atmosphere. If you have been to Tamsui, you are certainly 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. Situated right across from Fort San Domingo, close to the Tamsui River estuary, having coffee here not only allows you to see the historical changes and prosperity of Tamsui but also offers a distant view of the horizon connecting the vast ocean. Just a few steps inside the door, you can instantly escape the noise of the city and enjoy a leisurely afternoon. The restaurant especially recommends its Consulate Coffee, Vienna Coffee, and Paris Champs-Élysées Red Tea. Recommended dishes: Iced Latte, Fruit Tea.
