The Oriental Brasseries

Located in what used to be THE Hotel in Sun Moon Lake used by CKS and other KMT high ranking officials. Regular hoi polloi cannot walk beyond a guard house that is now turned into a view point stop. You will need a private car to reach the hotel and the restaurant or be lucky enough to catch one of the rare taxis in Sun Moon Lake. Absolutely amazing, luxurious environment in the lobby, the shops, and the restaurant. Didn't stay in the hotel, so no comments on the rooms. The restaurant is below the hotel and serves fine dining. Not much local cuisine about it, but everything was delicious!! Of course, the prices matched the surrounding. We stayed away from the headliner dishes, but still ended up with over $250 (NT 7500) for 4 adults and 2 kids.

We used this establishment for breakfast and dinner whilst staying at the hotel for two nights. It provides a good view over the lake and does include some outside tables on a large balcony when the weather is suitable. The breakfast was self service with a very good selection from which to choose. The quality of food was also very good Dinner is ordered and served at the table and has a pleasant ambiance. We felt that there could have been a wider selection of choices offered, but the quality and quantity of food provided was to a high standard.
