Monsieur L Restaurant has the look of a nice, quaint neighborhood eatery and the substance of a multicourse feast. Though the food on offer is hit-and-miss, the restaurant is a pleasant spot to take in the unhurried ambiance of the charming neighborhood, while enjoying an elaborate meal and professional service usually found at a much fancier establishment. Painted terracotta red and furnished with a wooden front deck, the Monsieur L’s exteriors blends in nicely with the lush, shady sidewalk where it is located, giving off a hint of rustic charm. But once inside, diners will find a team of uniformed wait staff and a kitchen crew under the management of head chef Cage Ou (歐俊辰). According to the restaurant’s Web site, Ou spent time working at the Marco Polo Italian restaurant of Shangri-La’s Far Eastern Plaza Hotel in Taipei as well as other hotels, which probably explains the more formal vibe and cuisine.
