Makaira Coffee


This misleadingly named seafood restaurant specialises in top-quality swordfish served in a multitude of ways, including raw as excellent sashimi. There's a menu in English, but the Chinese version is far more extensive, including generous two-person meal sets from NT$890.

It's in a gently contemporary upstairs room above a wholesale fish dealer in central Chenggong.
