There is a South African (it IS African, right) restaurant of sorts in Hsin Yi Road. I don’t have the address, but it’s about a 10-minute walk from the the Tavern Premiere heading away from Taiwan 101.

thanks I will check that place ! :sunglasses:

Is the S African fish house still open? I went by a month ago and it looked pretty closed!

Hope it’s still open, as might be a fun place to try out. Restaurants here come and go – there was a little shark restaurant which unfortunately folded before I could check it out.

If you’re looking for variety, I would suggest the Xinjiang restaurant near zhong xiao East Rd and Yan Chi Jie.

I knew this place once where they served some fantastic couscous with lamb. But that was 4 years ago. It’s near the Brothers Hotel on Nanjing Rd. Don’t know the name of this joint tho. I’d drop by this weekend to see if it’s still running. Will let u know.

great, if it’s still open after 4 years must be good value for money.

cheers

I believe they have an outlet at one of the Mitsukoshi buildings in Xinyi (opposite Warner Village), on the outdoor terrace of the first building on the right (when looking from the cinema side). At least there was one the last time I was walking around there.

You’re about 15 years too late, Saxo. Once upon a time (and this will break the heart of many a homesick South African who was not here to enjoy it) there was a branch of Nando’s on Nanjing East Rd/Tunhwa North Road. I’d guess that it didn’t even last a year - but it was a proper Nando’s with the menu just like you’d find it in the RSA. The peri-peri chips and chicken were awesome.

Add poor Nando’s to the long list of failed fast food franchises in Taiwan. It has done very well establishing franchises in other parts of the world, though.

If I had to vote for one South African chain to open in my neighborhood now, it would be Anant Falafel & Shwarma. Never pass through Johannesburg International Airport without getting at least one of their excellent falafels. Though, for anyone who has ever been to Israel, Anant is just “okay”.
