The guy (who is French) couldn't tell me the exact location. Would be interested to see if anyone on the board knows about this. Taipei will finally get a decent Western restaurant!

A source of mine attribute the delay to the difficulty of getting the right kitchen equipment manufactured in France due to a strike. Let's hope this opening isn't delayed any further!
