The Relative Lieutenant has been in Taiwan recently and has been reporting to us with details on the accessibility at some cool Kaohsiung restaurants. We’ve heard before that the general access in Taiwan’s second city puts London and the rest of the UK to shame, so we’re always interested to hear more:
“Old New restaurant in Kaohsiung Taiwan is a stylish venue with disabled access and loos. There’s no menu! Instead, on entering you are asked how much you want to pay and that dictates what is served. Produce that’s fresh that day is used. We had a lovely walnut tree smoked squid with crispy taro strips as the stand out dish. Wine selection is modest but I recommend the local weiss bier or a bottle of Taiwan s “Ka Va Lan” whisky instead!! Perhaps not for lunch but Old New restaurant gets 2.5 BBS Ticks.
“In Our Time is a funky restaurant. It’s an interesting place as it is in an old warehouse in the Pier2 art district of Kaohsiung. Inside is an art shop, restaurant, music stage an their FM radio station, with DJ. They have a good selection of world beers. They have full disabled access as well. I particularly took note of their slanted mirror in loo – nice to see someone think about the little details like that. It’s just a great and stylish place to chill and the art exhibits outside really add to it. Again, it gets 2.5 BBS Ticks”
