Flavors Swedish Restaurant

Flavors is the one and only Swedish Restaurant in Taiwan. We loved the food is always great with clean fresh flavour, the decor of the restaurant is simple and warm. The service and the characteristic of the owner is very friendly. We haven't eaten a Swedish foods before, so we try all the Traditional Swedish specialties. From our first taste to the pumpkin soup and our last mouthful of heavenly Swedish apple pie with vanilla sauce, every bite it was wonderful, as you'd expect from a Swedish chef. All the main course include the bread, soup, appetizer, antipasto, desserts and drink (coffee or tea) with reasonable price.
