Aboriginal Bistro

Hualien


The pasta and steak are excellent, but what makes this bar-restaurant stand out is its range of imaginative cocktails based around house-made 'makau wine' (local lemony pepper steeped in vodka) and cloudily viscous rice wine.

Try the 12.99 (rice wine with tequila, vodka and passionfruit, NT$180), which pairs well with the juicy mussels appetiser (NT$240), an explosion of flavours including chilli, nuts, garlic and makao wine. On wine Wednesday nights, get two glasses of house wine for the price of one.
