Tenderness "From the beginning, I set out to find a house with a courtyard in an alley, and it turns out I found an even better space with an inner courtyard." Due to his experience in the food and beverage industry while studying in France, the owner, Sam, says he loves to eat and drink. During his time managing the Taocheng Douhua Guanghua store, he created wine-pairing dishes for regular customers, which were well-received. In 2024, his dream finally came true, and he found an ideal restaurant location on Minsheng South Road. The low-key "Tenderness" has a entrance marked by a snake-shaped stone and a hundred-year-old silver leaf olive tree. At night, the lighting design guides customers to their seats, creating a sense of ritual. Tenderness specializes in European cuisine paired with a rich selection of wines, with over half of the wines coming from French production areas. In addition to the fixed menu, there are also daily limited-time dishes (1-3 dishes). Since its opening, the "deer meat steak" has been the most popular, paired with blackcurrant sauce and mashed potatoes with a texture similar to ice cream, creating a rich and layered flavor experience. For seafood, the middle roll is particularly recommended, cooked to 90% doneness and paired with a sauce made from sesame leaves, giving it a fresh and beautiful flavor.
