Taiwan Smoky Inn: Recommended German Food

Fancy a little bite to eat... Lusting for some good German food from a place like the Taiwan Smoky Inn? ... Then head out into the countryside of the North East Coast, to a little place called in Taiwan Smoky Inn near Sanchih, and you'll find some of the best German food on the entire island!

It was a little tricky to find (I've borrowed the map to highlight its location). You can see the mark there. We nearly missed the turning, as it is easier to find from the SanChih direction.

We went in the latter part of the day, just before dusk... Tim, Cindy and myself. Since we drove, our only beverage was non-alcoholic bear, but it was tasty and COLD!

And this is what came: Large sausages of all kinds, Sauerkraut, Bavarian potatoes, horseradish, and pickles, ... We enjoyed the food, had some leftovers, and paid a reasonable NT$1600 for the three of us. Four would have cost about NT$450. The neat thing was taxes and service charges were INCLUDED. I haven't any idea why more restaurants don't do that. If you decide to go on a weekend, call ahead and reserve a table. Don't be put off by the automated answering service. They're too busy to answer phonecalls most of the time.

Needless to say, the local wildlife were attracted by the bugs buzzing round our lights, and they had their own bug meal. I do have a video of this, too. If you can't see clearly, it's a gecko! A very active one, judging by the speed with which it devoured its prey.

2012 Update: We recently tried to visit the original location of the restaurant only to find that it had closed its in the mountains branch, and moved to Sanchih Downtown. Easier to get to by a mile or more literally!
