As early as the age of five Winson Chang began raising pets, such as cats, dogs, birds and reptiles. In March 2009 he finally made his childhood dream come true by opening 「Eastern District Pets Café」; It is a meeting place for those who love pets and those who love their pets so much that they cannot leave home without them. In addition Winson is generous enough to share all of his pets with the rest of pet lovers. 「Eastern District Pets Café」currently has over 50 varieties of birds on site. As soon as you walk in there is music to your ears while birds sing. For a second you feel as if you’re in an urban secret garden. Suddenly a red parrot greets you, “Good day boss!” and it brings you back to the real world.

「Eastern District Pet Café」occupies the first and the second floor with a total of 1,440 square feet. Asides from varieties of birds Winson also puts in several fish tank, displaying exotic and colorful fish. Many first timers and passer-by might mistake it as a tea house because the interior design and fixtures are traditional Chinese style. Quite a few bird lover social groups hold their regular meetings here. Each person brings in his or her beloved birds to the gatherings, exchanges experiences as pet owners and admire each other’s rare exotic birds.

「Eastern District Pet Café」mainly provides fresh squeeze juices, coffee and a variety of Chinese and herbal tea. Everyday four to five different light meals﹙NT$180﹚are available. Each comes with vegetable soup, salad, dessert and one drink. “Red Wine Beef Stew” and “Japanese Grilled Eel” are the most popular items on the daily meal menu. While you enjoy a light meal your pet bird will get to feast on the special bird seed mixes prepared by Winson. Dining in a restaurant with your pets can be an interesting and delightful experience!

五歲便開始飼養寵物,養過貓、狗、鳥、爬蟲類等的張港,終於完成自己的夢想,成立「東區咖啡寵物主題餐廳」,希望提供一個休閒場所讓愛寵物的朋友和喜歡帶寵物出門的主人有交流互動的機會。愛屋及烏,張港也把自己個人的寵物—五十多隻鳥類與大家分享。大門口養著各式各樣的鳥類,彷彿置身在花園中,一隻紅色的鸚鵡叫一聲「老闆好」,讓剛走進門的客人頓時大笑。

兩層樓的空間有四十多坪,除了鳥類,也有不少水族箱;第一次進門的客人會以為是茶藝館,因為室內裝潢頗為古色古香,愛鳥團體每個月固定在此舉辦活動,各自帶著心愛的鳥兒到店裡,交換養寵物的心得並欣賞對方的鳥兒。

「東區咖啡寵物主題餐廳」主要是提供現搾果汁、咖啡、中西式茶飲,每天也提供四到五種簡餐﹙180元﹚,皆附有蔬菜濃湯、沙拉、飲料和甜點。「紅酒燴牛肉」和「日式燒鰻魚」是目前最熱賣的餐點,與主人一同來店裡的鳥兒也有飼料吃,花少少的錢可以和自家寵物一起在餐廳用餐,別有一番趣味。
