The Godfather

From our archives, Compass Magazine, Oct. 2001:

“The Godfather”, released in 1972, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, and starring Marlon Brando and Al Pacino was a graphically violent but artistic portrayal of the Corleones, a powerful Mafia family. This film is a classic that will probably forever top the favorite movie list of most film lovers. Movie buffs will definitely want to check out The Godfather restaurant located behind the Mitsukoshi Department Store. It is a simple steel frame structure complemented by wood and glass. The interior is done up to look like a set from “The Godfather” and theme songs from various well-known movies play in the background. The Godfather serves mostly foreign dishes such as lamp chops in herb sauce (NT$520), Japanese-style pork cutlet (NT$180) and lasagne (NT$180), but this is also a good place to enjoy a cup of coffee or afternoon tea. Try the hot orange tea (NT$140), osthmanus plum tea (NT$140), Pu Erh chrysanthemum tea (NT$140) or one of the many coffee choices (NT$100 to NT150) along with a decadent dessert (NT$60 to NT$70). Another plus is the convenient parking nearby.
