Fourplay Cuisine

Taipei


Walk into Fourplay and ask for a drinks menu – the bartender is likely to say that he is the drinks menu. Tell him what you fancy and he'll tailor a tipple. Packed to the gills, even on a weeknight, you'd be wise to reserve a spot. A second branch has opened at number 61 down the street.

Absinthe cocktails are a speciality here. Gastropub-style meals are also available, but if you've come to enjoy a cocktail it seems a shame to fill up on fried food.
