The Diner: Truly Comfort on a Plate

From 2008_11_02 The Diner

Ahhhh, The Diner.  I only have good things to say about this place.

Started by Taiwanese Amy and her boyfriend, the place does amazing business and rightfully so.  The Diner is home to the tastiest hamburger of them all in Taipei.  Grilled to perfection, greasy like it's supposed to be.  Crispy, firm fries.  And this is not mentioning the all-day breakfast menu also available to you.

And the service?  Well, I've been to a lot of places and to my knowledge it is unsurpassed.  Amy the hostess must have a great memory as she has remembered our names every time we have gone and has gone out of her way to make us feel welcome.  And the waitresses are also very accomodating too!  Keep up the good work everyone!

Like I said, the business there justifiedly rocks, so much so that the Diner does not take reservations.  So, be prepared to wait long waits at feeding time on the weekends.  However, fear not.  The Diner has opened a second location on Dunhua I you will.  

Check out their hamburger selection.  Two of our favorites, the bacon and cheese and the swiss cheese and mushroom go for $200 (served as in the picture).  

One more recommendation: the chocolate brownie with ice cream ($150).  A large warm brownie with two scoops of ice cream towering over it.  Enough to feed 2 people.  Exceptional value all around.
