My previous post on the quirky toilet restaurant has disturbed a lot of my friends. So, I decided to cheer them up with another food review, but this time at a decent restaurant. But then, you can skip this post if you are not a fan of Jay Chou.
Mr. J is a French-Italian restaurant owned by Taiwan artist Jay Chou. Mr. Qute which is located next door is his latest venture into the dessert/pastry speciality.
Whilst in Taipei, we decided to dine there after visit to Taipei 101. We went to the Guangfu South Road branch. I heard that the university branch has more to offer in terms of ambience and interior, bearing the theme of Jay’s romantic movie, “Secret”.
Address : No 43, Lane 308, Guangfu S. Road, Da-an District, Taipei. It is not easy to find, hidden at some unnoticeable side alley. This is where Jay filmed his “Wo Bu Pei” MV.
Packed with Hong Kong tourist.
A Betty Boop’s umbrella stand. The reception is full of souvenirs and fringe products, posters, stickers, figurines, etc., capitalizing on the owner’s fame.
Decorated with Jay’s portraits and medieval oil paintings
Cocktails named after Jay’s songs.
On the menu, there are choices of affordable set meal, including soup, salad, main course and a yoghurt dessert. This is the pumpkin soup.
Spaghetti Alfredo something something. I remember my order of Fettuccine Alla Carbonara, but can’t find the photo.
Chicken Risotto
The pastry chef’s arty masterpiece
Mr. Qute’s famous for these wonderful fruit tarts.
My babes are as sweet as those pastries.
Food wise, six out of ten. But the desserts fared better. Most people dine here for novelty sake or are avid fans of Jay. Given the chance, we wouldn’t mind going to the university branch. Next trip, ok?
