Delicatesses Desmarais

The legendary “Deli D” is now in a new, easy-to-find location on JinHua Road near BeiTun Road. Deli D specializes in authentic deli meats prepared by Montreal native Brian Desmarais, served in house, to-go and wholesale to restaurants. These include standard cold cuts, Italian sausage and roast beef. One absolute must-get item is the smoked ham, which is unprocessed ham smoked using lychee wood and honey-glazed (NT$500/kg). Standard fare on the in-house menu is sandwiches (NT$150 on French baguette) with cold cuts and homemade sauces. Other western items are also offered, but the menu isn’t set: Excellence from the heart is key. As Brian notes, “a fixed menu would probably be good for business, but it’s not fun”. For the near future, on weekends, tacos (pictured, hard NT$60/each, soft NT$80/each) and sliders (pictured mini hamburgers, NT$130 for two) will be regulars.
