Tamsui Customs Wharf Cafe Introduction
The Consulate Restaurant is located across from Fort San Domingo. The owner, an avid traveler, often collects various souvenirs and folk crafts from different countries during her trips and brings them back to decorate the restaurant, enhancing the dining area with a delightful and interesting atmosphere. The second-floor area features various types of pasta used to adorn the tables, which are souvenirs from her travels with family. The restaurant also has an outdoor café where you can feel the nostalgic charm of the town's coastline, enjoy the distant view of Guanyin Mountain, and be enchanted by the beautiful sunset over Tamsui. On a summer afternoon with a gentle breeze, enjoying a cup of rich coffee while indulging in the café's homemade desserts offers a refined leisure experience. If you have visited Tamsui, you must be familiar with Fort San Domingo, where the British set up a consulate during the late Qing Dynasty, which is the origin of the restaurant's name. Situated right across from Fort San Domingo and adjacent to the Tamsui River estuary, having coffee here allows you to witness the historical vicissitudes and prosperity of Tamsui, as well as gaze at the horizon connecting the vast ocean at the estuary. With just a few steps inside or outside the restaurant, it feels like a brief escape from the urban hustle and bustle, perfect for enjoying a leisurely afternoon. The café's Consulate Coffee, Viennese Coffee, and Paris Champs-Élysées Black Tea are highly recommended. Recommended dishes: Iced Latte, Fruit Tea.
