Dinner at Flavors Swedish Restaurant

Re visited Flavors Swedish Restaurant our top and main choice European restaurants in Taipei, yesterday it was a good evening and special day to us. We had a good dinner on the cold winter night, surrounding with christmas lights, and christmas decor, christmas song it makes me feel at home with candle light dining room with great food. As we arrived, Ola and Stephanie and one of the waiter, they recognize us immediately. And brought us to the table, as we check the book menu she suggest us to try the hot red wine serve with some cookies and it is Swedish tradition to drink this hot red wine to warm the body during christmas. We did try some of their new menu, my daughter had a pork chop in apple sauce from his grand mother recipe back to his homeland in Sweden. The sweetness of the apple sauce is quite balance to the meat. Garnishing with: i'm not sure if toasted fruits with rhubarb and it was lovely.
We spend NT$1,500 per person because we upgrade of our 3 antipasto and 2 deserts. But every money we spend on our meal is worth with good satisfying meals not feeling neglected. And hey this is a real European Scandinavian foods not unlike the other French restaurant. Flavors doesn't make patrons feel like they are under dressed in an expensive French restaurant like many places do. Instead, it is comfortable and friendliness, nice place to enjoy the Savory of Flavors Swedish cuisine. In a honest opinion I couldn't make any negative comments on this restaurant, you should have to try this restaurant to know exactly what I mean and if you spend at least NT$1,000 in other restaurants in Taipei. Lunch or dinner set meal they always reach the standard and quality of fine dining and excellent service.

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.
