A TASTE OF TAIWAN

Taiwanese flavor with steak and fried rice

Traditional Taiwanese steakhouse combinations remain: filet with black pepper sauce and egg fried rice beside surf and turf. Soup and rolls open before appetizer and entrée, combining Western courses with familiar rice flavors.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Save some roll for the onion cream soup

Dip the butter roll in onion cream soup so it absorbs onion sweetness and dairy richness. The soup is very hot, so sip slowly.

🤖 AI texture notes

Rhine Castle preserves Taipei's old-school Western rhythm: hot soup, roll, appetizer, then a sauced entrée with vegetables and rice. Onion soup opens with heat and body; bacon scallop, prawn, and mushroom form the appetizer. Filet Mignon + Prawn combines thick beef, creamy vegetables, and seafood, while Filet Mignon Steak returns to black pepper tradition. It clearly shows how Taiwanese Western dining turns a set into a ceremonial meal.

Interior and atmosphere:Comfortable old-style décor evokes family steak dinners rather than current design trends. Soup, rolls, salad, appetizer, and entrée arrive briskly but encourage slower eating. Weekday lunch draws workers and may fill; evenings are calmer.
Location and visit notes:At No. 45, Yitong Street, Zhongshan District, Taipei, in the lanes around 松江南京站 · Songjiang Nanjing Station. Use the street number to find the traditional façade. Lunch is busy, so allow time and appetite as portions build across courses.
Onion Cream Soup

In a white two-handled cup, visible onion strands signal a classic set opening. It is thick and very hot, wrapping onion sweetness in cream without tasting only of dairy. Dip a torn piece of warm butter roll to connect crisp bread and soup.



洋蔥濃湯

Filet Mignon + Prawn

Thick filet slices sit on plentiful creamy baked vegetables beside prawn, vegetables, and egg fried rice. Beef gains smooth dairy richness; only the prawn head keeps its shell. Mild rice receives the plate's sauces.



菲力牛+大蝦

Appetizer

Two small skewers combine bacon-wrapped scallop, prawn, and king oyster mushroom with peppers, asparagus, and potato. Scallop keeps seafood flavor, bacon adds savoriness, and prawn and mushroom vary the chew. A floral plate completes the old-school flourish.



前菜

Filet Mignon Steak

A large filet comes with corn, broccoli, daikon, red pepper, and dark black pepper sauce. Good meat and stable doneness reveal fine texture; the traditional sauce remains solid for classic Taiwanese-steak fans.



菲力牛排
💡 Ordering note

Portions grow from soup and bread through appetizer to entrée, so pace yourself. Choose Filet Mignon + Prawn for surf and turf, or Filet Mignon Steak for the classic format. Pair soup with bread but save room.
