Nestled in the forested hills near Miaoli County's Nanzhuang Old Street, this hidden gem exudes a soothing, relaxing atmosphere. Large floor-to-ceiling windows in its rustic-feeling wooden structure bring in natural light, frame lush greenery and provide a European alpine vibe. Whether you sit in the cozy interior or outside, enjoying views of surrounding mountains, it's an ideal place to slow down and savor a tranquil moment. With a slow-living philosophy, both the ambiance and dishes reflect a careful attention to detail that over time has earned Dream Cafe a strong reputation as a retreat where visitors can enjoy both nature and food.
This is an excellent spot for either a full meal or afternoon tea. Despite the "cafe" in this establishment's name, its menu is quite diverse, offering everything from main courses to fried items, desserts and drinks, all offering solid quality. Main dishes focus on pasta, risotto and pizza options with flavors that lean toward the light, refreshing side. One popular standout dish is juicy, flavorful Oven-Roasted Garlic Chicken Leg (NT$520), crispy on the outside and tender inside with seasonal vegetables and fries on the side. Equally impressive is the seafood-rich Shrimp Tomato Pasta (NT$490), known for its generous portions and excellent value. The
Margherita Pizza (NT$380) is also highly recommended, featuring a crispy yet nearly crust topped with sausage, cherry tomatoes and rich, melted cheese that leave a lingering taste. All main courses include black tea. Desserts include the seasonal Mille-feuille Cake (NT$150) and Lemon Cheesecake (NT$180), delicate and not overly sweet. Hand-brewed coffee and herbal teas (NT$100-260) provide a perfect finishing touch. The dining space accommodates about 30-40 guests with a mix of seating for couples and larger groups. For group visitors (about 10 or more people), advance reservations are recommended. With convenient parking, Dream Cafe is also well suited for small gatherings or family excursions.
