A year ago Yangming Spring vegetarian restaurant opened up its first location in the scenic tourist attraction Yangmingshan. Due to popular demands a second location was established in the heart of downtown Taipei. In comparison to the first establishment which is 3,600 square feet, the Chung-Xiao location is positioned as a petite gallery restaurant, displaying masterpieces of calligraphy, bonsai and sculptures and all are for sale. Restaurant owner Mr. Chen aims to provide all vegetarian cuisine in an artistic space. The atmosphere is zen-like and it feels like as if time has stopped the minute you walk into Yangming Spring. You begin to let go of your anxiety and become relaxed. It is all about LOHAS, slow food and total health enhancement. Even though Yangming Spring serves all vegetarian meals, every healthy dish is lack in fat but full of flavors. This dining experience will slowly put you at ease and into a good mood as you taste each course to the fullest.

Yangming Spring mainly serves set menus and reservation is required since daily food supply is limited. In order to truly enjoy the set menu you will need at least 90 minutes. If you’re in a hurry there will be a la cart to choose from during lunchtime and afternoon tea hours. Currently the most raved about set menu is the superb truffle set menu ﹙NT1,280﹚, including 11 courses. All natural ingredients are transformed into creative dishes that will blow your mind away. The most notable ones are bamboo shoots with white sauce, shiitake mushrooms with truffle and Buddha’s casserole.

The most impressive characteristic about Yangming Spring is the service. Every waiter is trained to explain the ingredients of each dish and its health benefits. And their upbeat pleasant attitude will infect every customer!

一年前在陽明山開幕的陽明春天素食創作料理因應顧客的需求,在台北東區成立第二個據點。相較於先前上千坪的空間,經營者陳先生把忠孝店規劃為藝廊餐廳,所有陳設的書法、盆栽和雕塑都是出自大師級作品,讓客人欣賞之餘也供販售。餐廳的氛圍頗有禪意,強調樂活、慢食、養生,一旦進入彷彿時間靜止,焦躁的心情頓時變得輕鬆;雖然提供全素料理,色香味一樣不少,用餐後心情愉快,好像每吃一道菜就少一個煩惱。

陽明春天以套餐為主,必須預約,保留至少90分鐘的時間用餐。如果時間不是很充裕,午餐和下午茶時段有提供餐飲單點。目前最受推荐的松露頂級套餐﹙1.280元﹚一共有11道,天然食材以創意料理呈現,其中的主菜白醬焗鮮筍、松露蠔皇煲珍菇和一品佛跳牆是絕不可錯過的美食,跳脫時下素食料理的觀念!

值得一提的是,陽明春天的服務生會向客人解釋每道菜的作法、吃法和益處,他們樂在其中、快樂的工作態度也會感染每一位客人,這般的收穫是前所未有的!
