Seven Quinoa

「We select local ingredients in Taitung, hoping to present Taitung, farmers, and this land in one meal.」

Seven Quinoa is an old restaurant that brings back the memory of many people in Taitung. It first opened on Bo-ai Road in 1999 and attracted a lot of attention with its baroque decoration and new service. The restaurant was later relocated to Seashore Park and became a new attraction there with the white building and big pieces of glass. It is also a must-visit restaurant for many local people when they talk for a walk at the beach. Almost every young person in Taitung has experience eating and chatting here. In 2016, this seaside restaurant was almost destroyed due to serious devastation caused by typhoon Nepatak, which gave the restaurant a chance to transform. Now the restaurant is located at Zhongzheng Road and remains popular with people in Taitung. Since the owner chose the transformation to a specialty restaurant, seven quinoa has been used as the major ingredient and the main courses are mainly served with rice and noodles. The restaurant also offers many choices of meat and vegetarian side dishes, special beverages, and desserts with red quinoa and other local ingredients. Noodle with fragrant spicy chili and tender chicken is a signature dish; it perfectly combines red quinoa noodles with chicken. Rice minced pork sauce and red quinoa prepared by the female owner are also very appetizing and go well with light, crispy sesame and seaweed salad. The restaurant also serves boiled red quinoa leaves in a specific season. German Ham hock cooked at a low temperature and served with red quinoa and rice is the favorite meal of the guests. The transformed restaurant will continue to provide new food experiences and concepts for people in Taitung.
