il Giardino Romantico

我本來只知道莫凡彼的冰淇淋好像不錯吃。這天經過本來很不以為意，因為原本我們是想去吃慶城街的海南雞飯。念了很久，但始終沒有去。這天逮到機會，就搭公車去慶城街一探究竟。沒想到，這天不是公休，而是正在裝修！（昏倒）

不過走著走著肚子也餓了。老公本來苦苦哀求說要去巷口的Hooters（根本就是想看辣妹）。不過當然是被我拒絕了！拜託！裡面都是一堆臭男生，誰想進去啊！所以想了半天，決定來莫凡彼瞧瞧。原本以為價位會很高，但研究之後發現其實也還好而已！這種價位只是比伯朗、丹提高了一點。但打著莫凡彼的招牌，我想CP質應該是比前面兩家高出很多！因此就決定進去吃吃看了！

Before this, all I knew about Movenpick was that their ice cream seemed pretty good. When we passed by the shop, we didn't think too much about it. We were supposed to visit this chicken place. We had wanted to visit for a while, and finally found the time to go. Unfortunately, after a long bus ride, we discovered that it was under renovation... Bummer! 

But as we were getting hungry, we needed to decide on a contingency plan. My other half wanted to try Hooters... (I'm sure you know why!!). I refused (of course!). Why would I want to go into Hooters? Ridiculous! Anyway, so we walked back to Movenpick and took a look at the menu. We thought it was going to be expensive, but turned out, it was okay. It was only a little more expensive than Brown or Dantes. But with its exotic brand name, we reckoned that the food would be much better than those two. So, we decided to give it a try.


玉米濃湯 Corn chowder


蔬菜湯 Veggie soup

兩人一起來享用的好處就是都可以嘗到～  這兩種湯其實都不錯！而且他的碗似乎還有特地設計過！湯匙不會滑來滑去，那個角度剛好也方便服務生端來端去。

The good thing about having company during a meal, is that you get to try different dishes. Both of these soups were pretty good. The bowl seemed to have a special design. There's a little ditch that keeps the spoon from sliding, and it also helps carry the bowl.



這麵包雖看似普通，不過味道還算不錯。只給了兩片（我們沒多要，所以不知道可不可以續）

The bread seemed pretty normal, but it tasted fine. There was one each, and we didn't ask for more, so I'm not sure if you could ask for more.



一口麵包一口湯，其實還滿不錯的。如果是濃湯，還可以沾著吃～

The bread went well with both types of soup.



波爾多牛肉焗飯 Gratin rice with beef in red wine sauce



因為太久沒吃牛肉，所以對這道沒什麼興趣。據說是還不錯。

It had been a really long time since I had beef. So I had little interest in this dish. But it seemed quite nice.



牛肉的份量也還算有誠意。

There were also enough beef chunks in the dish.



西班牙海鮮烤飯 Spanish Paella



光是看擺盤就覺得很開心！然後看到這麼一大片檸檬，我又開心了！後來這片還不夠，我還多要了一片！吃起來整個酸酸的爆好吃的！

Seeing the plate was already satisfying enough! Then squeezing the lemon on the dish made me even more excited about the dish. I had to ask for another piece, only because I luuuuurrrv lemon! 



不過好吃歸好吃，請千萬不要期待他有任何一點道地。這是兩碼子的事兒。你瞧他飯煮到這麼軟就知道他不會道地到哪裡去。不過天仙很愛吃檸檬那酸酸的口感，所以只要炒飯或烤魚有檸檬味，我都會覺得好吃（很容易滿足）！

It was, indeed, delicious! But please do not expect anything authentically Spanish. Authenticity and good taste are two different things. The rice in this dish had been cooked to suit the taste buds of Taiwanese. Too soft. But I love how the lemon blends in with everything. 

 

後來看到別桌有桌邊服務！好讚喔！下次也要來點個這樣的沙拉！

During the meal, we also saw table side service, which seemed exciting! Next time, we should order a salad for this! 



最後當然還有飲料！又是酸酸的果汁～ XD

Lastly, comes the drinks! Again, I ordered something sour - lemony juice! 

 

還有不怕半夜睡不著覺的老公點的咖啡。

And for someone who was not afraid of losing sleep - coffee! 

總結，雖然價位是比其他兩間連鎖咖啡店來的要高，餐點品質卻是超出許多。如果吃不起高級飯店的歐美料理，我強烈推薦可以來莫凡彼解解饞。雖然我覺得這間分店座位太多，服務員又太少，不過服務的本質是很不錯的。餐點，以這種價位來說，也算是不錯的囉！

In the end, I reckon despite the slightly higher prices, the food and service is a lot better than Brown or Dantes. If you can't afford to dine at proper restaurants, this is not a bad choice at all! Although I feel that they have too few waiters and waitresses and too many tables to wait on, still, the service is quite satisfactory. Overall, I highly recommend it! 


檢視較大的地圖 

天仙念：結果過沒幾周恰好朋友又約到這裡來吃，不過第二次就沒拍照了。當然，我對他的評價還是一樣，不錯！
