From the outside, Tor Dāy looks like an ordinary building without any indication of what’s inside, making it feel like a secret that you can share with your friends when you come there for a drink or a late-night meal. The restaurant-style bar offers a wide variety of traditional Taiwanese dishes (NT$220-320), as well as common western fried foods like chicken nuggets (NT$180), french fries and onion rings (both NT$200). Towards the end of the menu, you’ll also find a selection of cocktails (NT$380-400), in addition to coffees and soft drinks. When ordering a cocktail here, you’re always in for a bit of a surprise since the type of alcohol used in its creation isn’t noted on the menu. Fertile (NT$380) is a sweeter cousin of Irish Coffee, with a kick that comes from espresso and whiskey. Topped with creamy yogurt, Purple Morning Dew (NT$400) offers a flowery aftertaste. Tor Dāy is a place for people who seek something new and undiscovered, who enjoy surprises and aren’t afraid of a strong alcohol punch from a beautifully crafted cocktail. Although this is a newer place, customers already visit in large numbers, so reservations are a good idea.

從外觀看,Tor Dāy 只是普通建築中的店面,且毫無任何關於餐廳的指標,散發出一種神秘感,更讓你想與朋友來這裡喝一杯或吃宵夜。這間餐酒館提供各種傳統台灣菜(220-320元),當然還有常見的西式炸物:雞塊(180元)、薯條和洋蔥圈(兩者皆為200元)。在菜單後面還會找到一系列的調酒(380-400元),還有咖啡和軟飲。在這裡享用調酒時,你總是會感到一點驚喜,因為酒單不特別註明飲品所含的酒精選項。濁水與沃土(380元)與愛爾蘭咖啡口感極似,以濃縮咖啡和威士忌組成所帶來一種刺激感。紫山朝露(400元)搭配奶油優格,帶有花香餘韻。這間店是一個尋求新鮮感和未被人們開發的地方;只要喜歡驚喜且對調酒帶有強烈酒精衝擊不感到害怕的顧客,這裡會非常適合你。儘管這是一個比較新的地方,但顧客已經絡繹不絕,建議提前預訂。
