This garden alike restaurant in the mountain has its seafood meal pretty fresh, it really surprise me, because it locates in a remote mountain where is about 2 hour drive from Taichung city, but still offers a fresh seafood meal. In my past visits, I usually order the chicken dish which is the signature dish, although the seafood dish may not be the signature dish here, it no doubt taste good. It is around 1:00 pm the day I went, a bit past lunch time peak, the restaurant is almost full, couldn’t imagine how full it would be on the exact lunch time peak. In this slow paced restaurant, I finished the meal around 2:30 in the afternoon, and walk around the garden. The garden is not very big but is well decorated, it gives visitors a sense of happiness.
Been here for a few times. A family-owned business. The German Pork Knuckle and Flower teas should be the ones you should order if you haven’t been here before. Flowers and teas are specially selected by the owners who has a lot of botanical knowledge! The (berry) bread is moist and warm, which my boy loved.
If you have additional time, they have children play area, and a big garden situated around the restaurant. Weddings are held there due to their special location and views occasionally.

This place is really pink. I had the Thai chicken (360NTD), it tasted quite good! No English menu but the staff speaks a little English. There is an entry fee (4 adults, a child + car 400NTD) but some of that can be used towards your food order.
10 minutes away from Lavender cottage. ~1 hour away from Taichung by car.
This view from upper deck of this place is amazing. It's a must visit place if you are in the area. $100nt for ticket including cake/drink is such a bargain. I love to come here to sit and chill soaking in the calm outdoor vibe here. Make sure to spray yourself with plenty of mosquitoes repellent though.

Nice place to eat after a hike, but the food is expensive and the portions are small . Some nice things to see and do for you and the kids . You pay 100nt to get in , but you can deduct that off food later.
