L’Air Café, as casual as the name suggests, is actually a refined bistro serving delicate French cuisine. It’s a collaboration between the owner of Boite de Bijou, a boulangerie/patisserie I raved about back in 2011, and head chef Dana Yu, who has honed her skills under Singapore celebrity chef Justin Quek and Robuchon Taipei among other prestigious establishments. L’Air Café has been a favorite among many of my friends living in Taipei since its opening in 2012, but as I had left for Paris that year, it wasn’t until this recent trip that I finally got to pay my first visit.
風流小館是台灣知名的珠寶盒面包店和兔子聽音樂的老板開的法式餐廳，是我很多住在台北的朋友都喜歡的店。餐廳位于永康商圈一個安靜的角落，有大片的落地窗，望出去是金華公園的一整片綠。掌管廚房的女主廚 Dana 在新加坡名廚 Justin Quek 手下工作多年後，加入了台北的 Robuchon 的開幕團隊，最後來到了風流小館。 之前在網上和她稍有交流，這次回台北，決定來嚐嚐她的料理。
L’Air Café is located at a quiet corner in the Yongkang neighborhood. I came by during lunch time, and my mood was immediately elevated by 1) the ample sunshine pouring in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and 2) this lovely-looking menu dotted with Spring and Summer colors, bright enough to cast away any dark clouds.
當季菜單的設計，非常春夏的顔色，拿在手裏心情都輕飄飄了起來。
The meal started with this: white asparagus jelly, lemon-flavored crab meat, white asparagus slices, chorizo, and caviar. From the color to the flavor to the texture, each element is light and elegant, a most pleasant start.
Dana 的料理風格溫柔細致，比如這道白蘆筍凍搭配檸檬風味蟹肉、白蘆筍片、西班牙香腸及魚子醬，從顔色至風味和口感都清淡優雅，非常怡人。
