The popular BBR French bakery and restaurant has re-opened under new management, and is now part of the Le Chateau des Gateaux group, which already operates two gourmet shops in Taipei. In its latest reincarnation, the shop continues to sell a good selection of breads, cakes, other pastries and sandwiches, but has gone even more upscale. A greatly-increased selection of imported gourmet products covers a huge range, including German duck liver pate, SueBee brand clover honey, raspberry vinegar, sauerkraut, fruit teas, Camembert cheeses, salad dressings, yogurts, Guatemalan coffee, Belgian fruit beers, smoked Norwegian salmon, cereals, champagne and various wines. Notably, BBR is now Taichung's first outlet for Swiss Movenpick ice cream (NT$80/scoop, NT$150/twin scoop) with 10 flavors, from Pistachio to Espresso. There are 35 types of European-style breads, cookies, quiche pies (NT$70/slice), 30 to 40 cakes and desserts (NT$75-80/slice), and various sandwich-and-soup meals, like the Beef Parisien Sandwich with daily soup and coffee or tea (NT$180). --By Douglas Habecker, translated by Uvia Chang
