Restaurant: The Epicurean(無餓不坐)

Opened almost three years, The Epicurean (無餓不坐) serves a selection of reasonably priced Western-style foods and drinks unavailable elsewhere on Lanyu. Located just off the main road in Yuren Village (魚人村), the joint's bright yellow facade makes it impossible to miss.

The menu is tiny compared to those found on Taiwan proper, but the Western food is passable and a drink with a view of the Pacific Ocean is always refreshing, especially on a typically hot day on Orchard Island.

The restaurant/bar serves sandwiches, snacks and an assortment of daily specials including local wild pig and goat. Prices are reasonable and visitors can expect to spend between NT$250 and NT$350 for a meal and beverage.

The Epicurean also serves the island's specialty, flying fish with taro, sweet potato, vegetables and rice. The island's signature dish, the flying fish meal is a must-try for any visitor.

The Epicurean also has Internet access should holidaymakers feel a sudden compulsion to check their e-mail accounts, or catch up on the latest news.
