Tamsui Consulate Cafe Introduction
The Consulate Restaurant is located opposite the Fort San Domingo. The travel-loving owner often collects various souvenirs and folk crafts from around the world during her trips, bringing them back to decorate the restaurant, creating a vibrant and interesting dining and resting space. The second floor features various types of pasta used as table decorations, which are trophies from her family’s travels. The restaurant has an outdoor café where you can experience the nostalgic charm of the small town's coastline, gaze at Guanyin Mountain, and be enchanted by the beautiful sunset over Tamsui. On a summer afternoon with a gentle breeze, savoring rich coffee while enjoying the homemade desserts offers a refined leisure experience. 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 the origin of the restaurant's name. Situated right across from Fort San Domingo and next to the Tamsui River estuary, enjoying coffee here allows you to witness the historical changes and prosperity of Tamsui, while also gazing out at the horizon that connects to the vast ocean. The distance inside and outside the door is just a few steps, making it feel like you can instantly escape the city's hustle and bustle and enjoy a leisurely afternoon. The Consulate Coffee, Viennese Coffee, and Parisian Red Tea are highly recommended. Recommended dishes: Iced Latte, Fruit Tea.
