BONGOS restaurant located near the National Taiwan University in a small lane. This place is not easy to find, but one time when you go in to the restaurant having a meal and feeling the decorations, you will come again. The restaurant is divided into three parts: the dining room, the lounge room, and the wide balcony where grows plants and wood surround the tables for a totally relaxing environment.

The day I went to BONGOS, I forgot to book the table before, so I didn’t have choice to choose where I wanted to seat. Therefore, a waiter leaded me to the balcony with fresh air and a little hot wind! From my seat I can see the other room inside the building: the dining is just a dining room, nothing special; the lounge room has some comfortable sofas and two or three big bookcases with a lot of foreign books, and the decoration in this room gives customers comfortable and relaxing atmosphere; the third room where I was seated in is with some flowers and plants, and costumers can have their meals naturally and unrestrainedly.

The owner and also the chief of BONGOS is Andrew, he is from Canada. When I asked him why he wanted to opened this restaurant, he said:” It’s because every time I go to eat western meal, the food is not only bad tasting but also expensive!!” So he insists making delicious meal and charging fair money.

Then, I will introduce some representative meals about BONGOS. They offer Mexican food, fresh cut fries, falafel, burgers, pasta, and beer. In these variable meals, Mexican food and burgers are popular with the most of customers. If you want to have some exotic food, you can try some Mexican food like chicken cheese pie; or if you are very hungry, you can have a luxury burger with hand-cut fresh fries. The menu will give you many information and advices about the meal and it can help you to choose what you want to order. When you order a main meal, there are a glass of drink and salad or soup or fries for additional meals. I have a strong suggestion ordering fries and add twenty dollars upgrading cheese fries, and you can taste the sweet-smelling cheese with fresh fries. The size of every meal is plentiful, it is enough for a person to finish one.

This is a great place for friends or couples, not only the atmosphere the restaurant gives you, but also they offer great meals and nice charge.
