Inside and out, there's absolutely no
mistaking this charming Greek/Mediterranean restaurant's
main theme. The exterior resembles the picturesque churches
on the Greek island of Santorini, complete with white-washed
walls and blue dome, topped by a white cross, plus an
arched steeple with three bells. Walk through the gate
and up a white-pebbled path, step inside and you can
honestly pretend to be in a Greek villa, complete with
white walls, wooden floors and ceiling rafters, deep-blue
wooden doors and window frames, and rustic blue-painted
wooden chairs. All this is the brainchild of the owner,
who lived in Greece for a while. The menu--with all
prices also listed in Euros--is a mix of Greek and Italian
dishes. Greek food includes Greek Chicken Souvlaki (NT$250,
6.1 Euros), Greek Feta Salad (NT$90, 2.2 Euros) and
"The Mediterranean Sea" chicken gyro (NT$130).
Other Italian-style choices include several pastas,
a risotto dish--Seafood Rice with Cream Sauce (NT$270),
Seafood Soup with Bread (NT$270), Aegean Sea Chicken
Salad (NT$130), and Garlic Mussels (NT$90). For dessert,
there are various waffles, cakes and ice cream. There
are mixed-juice drinks like Orange Pomegranate (NT$150),
milkshakes (NT$170), beer (NT$90), and coffees (NT$150).
A weekday NT$190 Business Lunch (11:30 a.m.-2 p.m.)
provides one of three entrees plus soup and drink. There
are NT$350 "A" and NT$490 "B" set-menu
meals, plus a daily (2-5 p.m.) Afternoon Tea special.
Aegean Sea is just off the WuQuan (Art Museum) Parkway,
almost hidden on a small lane next to Pumpkin House.
