TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- Little Tree Food (小小樹食) is set to unveil its first Xinyi flagship restaurant on Monday (Sept. 23), marking a significant expansion into one of Taipei's busiest districts.
Nestled on the sixth floor of Breeze Nan Shan, this new location promises a unique dining experience that combines eco-friendly design with panoramic Taipei 101 views.
Unlike its five sister branches, the Xinyi location places a special focus on brunch, introducing over 10 exclusive dishes that cater to health-conscious diners and curious food enthusiasts alike. The restaurant's commitment to sustainability is evident in its use of eco-friendly building materials and furniture, creating a relaxing atmosphere that transports guests from the bustling city to a tranquil retreat.
The menu at the new location is a testament to the brand's culinary creativity and dedication to quality. From the indulgent "egg yolk hash brown" made with fresh chicken eggs to the flavorful “pan-fried cabbage with hummus" enhanced by house-made spicy sauce, each dish is crafted to satisfy both the palate and the body.
Diners will delight in the "grain and avocado vegetable bowl," a nutrient-rich main course featuring over 10 ingredients and a zesty lemon-dill sauce. For those seeking a more substantial meal, the "little tree breakfast platter for two" offers a shareable feast that showcases the restaurant's diverse culinary skills.
The Xinyi flagship restaurant does not just cater to vegetarians; it aims to convert even the most devoted meat lovers with its innovative takes on classic dishes. Adventurous eaters can try the "fish and chips" where the fish is made of eggplant, or the sweet and sour curry mustard pasta, while those with a sweet tooth can indulge in delectable desserts like the brown sugar black tea chiffon cake and dandelion pudding.
One of the highlights of the new location is its European-inspired outdoor seating area, which offers breathtaking views of Taipei 101 and can accommodate up to 20 guests. This charming space, reminiscent of scenes from "Emily in Paris," is perfect for entertaining international visitors or hosting exclusive events.
For those seeking a more intimate dining experience, the restaurant offers a private room adorned with a big vintage wood table in the center from the owner's collection. This unique space, which can seat up to 12 people, beautifully blends rustic charm with modern design, creating an ideal setting for summer gatherings or special occasions.
